Country: Spain
Wine Vintage: 2010
Grape Varietals: Bobal
Bottle Size: 12-oz

The 2010 11 Piños Bobal Old Vines offers the scents of freshly picked red fruits, violets, minerals, and wild mountain herbs. Partially oak-aged, this youthful Bobal offers plenty of concentration, elegance and suavity in a beautifully proportioned frame. Mouth filling and persistent on the palate, this smooth and crisp old vines offering marries the unique qualities of Bobal to the contemporary penchant for moderate oak ageing, making it loveable to the last drop.

Carmen’s Gran Reserva offerings are part of Carmen’s luxury series of wines, offering the consumer one of the finest quality/value ratios available.

Carmen Gran Reserva Maipo Carmenère 2009

Country: Chile
Wine Vintage: 2009
Grape Varietals: Carmenère
Bottle Size: 12-oz

Carmen has fashioned a string of world class Carmenère wines for nearly two decades, and the estate’s 2009 Gran Reserva is the most stunning young Carmenère we have tasted to date from this property. Deeply colored and textured, it’s a stunning example of just how good young Carmenère can be. Scents of ripe red and black fruits, roasted coffee, violets, and wood smoke lead to a deep, layered, and supremely balanced feel on the palate, where notes of crushed blackberry, dark chocolate, plum, and spice emerge.

Bodega Huguet Can Feixes Penedès Blanc Selecció 2010

Country: Spain
Wine Vintage: 2010
Grape Varietals: Chardonnay, Macabeo, Parellada
Bottle Size: 12-oz

Produced primarily from the free run must of Parellada, the 2010 Can Feixes Blanc Selecció is testimony to the magic of this fine but relatively unknown grape. The 2010 Blanc Selecció is endowed with an amplifying nose comprised of the scents of citrus, gravel, minerals, and wild flowers. In the mouth, the 2010 Blanc Selecció enlivens the palate with pure fruit flavors, pinpoint precision, gentle minerality, and a nice touch of spice, with a dry, embracing finish that is both refreshing and satisfying.

Château Boutisse Saint-Emilion Grand Cru 2008

Country: France
Wine Vintage: 2008
Grape Varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot
Bottle Size: 12-oz

The 2008 Ch. Boutisse Saint-Emilion Grand Cru wears a deep purple robe that exudes Saint-Emilion’s hedonistic proclivity. Ripe and plush, it offers up a heavenly bouquet of blackberry, boysenberry, coffee, and finely ground spices. Warm and intense on the palate, the finely polished 2008 Château Boutisse is classic Saint-Emilion; it’s impeccably balanced and oozes with warmth, plush fruit, spice and finely grained tannins. Enjoy this lush, elegantly wrought Saint-Emilion now and for the next decade.

Adega O Casal Novo Valdorreas Godello 2010

Country: Spain
Wine Vintage: 2010
Grape Varietals: Godello
Bottle Size: 12-oz

The 2010 Casal Novo Godello is a mere infant, yet it’s already begun to blossom, offering up savory scents of lemon zest, white fruits, and spice along with a subtle minerality that lends vibrancy and adds to the wine’s overall sensual appeal. Casal Novo’s vivacity continues on the palate, where white peach, melon, and subtle spice tones spread their welcome. All this goodness adds up to a delightfully fragrant, fairly intense but balanced glass of white wine with a lengthy finish and huge palate appeal.

Fratelli Revello Barolo 2006

Country: Italy
Wine Vintage: 2006
Grape Varietals: Nebbiolo
Bottle Size: 12-oz

The 2006 Fratelli Revello Barolo is a clear stand out, even in a vintage as fine as 2006. Possessing exceptional harmony and balance, Revello’s 2006 Barolo offers up aromas of pure, ripe red fruits, anise, mint, and moist woodlands. On the palate, this deep wine provides plenty of red fruit, spice, and pure woodland flavors. As good as all this is, it’s the finish on the 2006 Revello that leaves the greatest impression, with the wine’s floral tones re-emerging at the end. As with all Barolo, we suggest extended aeration.
