Wines that you think you don’t like: January 6, 2018

Roc d’Anglade Rosé, Vin de Pays du Gard 2014

Regular Price $25.99/ Sale price $12.99

This is a unique blend of Mourvèdre (60%), Carignan  (30%), Syrah and Grenache (10%). Picked early, it’s also unique because of the style. Complex, crisp and long, this is a rose that holds up to some aging.

Navaherreros Blanco de Bernabeleva, Vinos de Madrid 2015

Regular Price $22.99/ Sale price $17.99

This is a crazy good wine that’s a bit difficult to explain. Made from Albillo and Macabeo, its full, sumptuous and rich with hay and citrus peel aromas leading into a robust mouthfeel with flavors of honeysuckle and white peach. Maybe it’s a bit like chenin blanc, or perhaps viognier or perhaps it’s just its very own delicious and unique wine.

Albert Mann Riesling ‘Cuvee Albert’, Vin d’Alsace 2015

Regular Price $32.99/ Sale price $25.99

Hand-harvested selection of old vines from two vineyard sites : Rosenberg (Wettolsheim) and Altenbourg (Kienthzeim). Expressive nose shows beautiful stone fruit aromas, with citrus and lemon flavors to follow. The rich fruit flavors are underlined by a fine minerality and a citric finish.

Domaine Rochette Beaujolais Villages Nouveau 2017

Regular Price $13.99/ Sale price $10.99

Fresh and clean aromas, plums and red raspberries, lead into a bright red-fruit flavor. Its full and ripe (for a Nouveau), nicely balanced with crisp fresh-fruit acidity. Enjoyable on its own and good with food, nicely balanced at 13% alcohol.

Chateau de Villeneuve Saumur Champigny 2014

Regular Price $18.99/ Sale price $14.99

A great example of a Cabernet Franc harvested at optimum maturity. The fruit is bright and dominated by black cherry. It is showing an elegant tannic grip balanced with a nice acidity. From an outstanding vintage and a unique terroir bringing a lovely depth and distinct character.

Domaine de Courteillac Bordeaux Supérieur

Regular Price $19.99/ Sale price $15.99

70% Merlot blend from the area just south-east of Saint-Emilion, the wine shows Merlot from the right place, in the right hands is nothing like California Merlot. It’s plump and juicy with plum and oak flavors dominating and leading to the structured tannic close.
