Marques de Vargas Rioja Reserva 2016
$54.99
“This dark ruby wine has a bouquet of blackberry, raspberry and salted almond. It offers a mélange of fruit and savory flavors: cherry, pomegranate, roasted nuts, butterscotch and dried kitchen herbs. Solid tannins slowly dissolve, revealing a touch of milk chocolate on the drawn-out finish.” Mike DeSimone, Wine Enthusiast

Reverdito Barolo Ascheri 2016
Vineyard: La Morra
Production: 4,000 bottles
Soil: Marl
Barolo produced here is best described as “warm-hearted”. Michele’s Barolo Ascheri comes from the classic chalky soils of La Morra about 250 meters up the steep hillside, inter-planted with several types of grasses and beans to aid biodiversity and soil structure. The resulting wine has an enticing nose of flowers, ripe strawberries and dark cherries, and a good mouthful of plummy ripe elegant fruit. This deceptively mid-weight Barolo has a ton to offer.
Reverdito Barolo Mixed Collector’s Case
Reverdito produces six Barolo labels. A ‘regular’ Barolo along with five top vineyards in the Barolo DOCG. Each of the five Barolo cru (or single vineyards) are vinified separately and differently according to the distinctive traits and characteristics of the specific vineyard.
This rare offer is wonderful opportunity to learn and appreciate just how profoundly different Barolo vineyards can be and why Barolo is one of the world’s most coveted wines.
Price if sold individually: $779. Total savings of $80!

Dalem Fronsac 2018
90% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc
93 Points, Wine Spectator: Offers a gently steeped profile, featuring plum and blackberry compote flavors, lined with a light toasty thread. A tobacco note lingers.
93 Points, Robert Parker: A deep garnet-purple color and compelling notes of blackberry preserves, wild blueberries and ripe, juicy black plums, with hints of dark chocolate, licorice and black olives. The full-bodied palate appears bright and fresh with the lively black fruits framed by soft, velvety tannin's, finishing long and savory. Nicely done!
La Gabinele Belandes Minervois 2015
Grenache 40 %, Syrah 60 %
An incredibly expressive bouquet: peony, violet, white pepper, cocoa, eucalyptus and star anise. An impressive palate from the outset with powerful flavour. The body is vibrant, unctuous and sensual leading to a mineral and acid driven finish. With its power and juiciness, Bélandes goes perfectly with braised lamb, roasted rabbit or roast duck.
Reverdito Barolo DOCG 2016
Production: 16,000 bottles
Soil: Marl & Limestone
Produced from 25 year old Nebbiolo planted on marl and limestone soils. Grapes are hand harvested and fermentation begins naturally using only indigenous yeasts.
Aged 24 months in large 40hL oak casks. Perfect balance, along with enticing anise, mint, and spice aromas; dark plum and cherry flavours; alluring now but with the structure to age.
La Cour d’Argent Bordeaux Superieur 2018
"Blended of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, the 2018 de la Cour d'Argent opens with fragrant rose hip and lavender scents over notions of black and red plums with a kirsch undercurrent. Medium-bodied with a firm structure of grainy tannins, it has understated fruit and a restrained finish." - Wine Enthusiast
