Feudi di San Marzano Primitivo Puglia Salento 2010

Country: Italy
Wine Vintage: 2010
Serving Temperature: 60°-66°F
Grape Varietals: Primitivo
Bottle Size: 12-oz

Feudi di San Marzano’s 2010 Primitivo Puglia Salento presents a deep purple robe imbued with fiery glints of ruby. More importantly, it offers an intense aromatic profile of plum, cherry, herb, vanilla, and spice. On the palate, the wine continues to work its magic by spreading plush fruit and herb driven flavors to fill the mouth. Coupled with the wine’s bright fruit is a balanced minerality that adds both interest and vibrancy. In short, this is one good drinking wine that packs a punch and slips down ohhh so easily.

Pazo de Arribi Bierzo Mencia 2009

Country: Spain
Wine Vintage: 2009
Serving Temperature: 55°-66°F
Grape Varietals: Mencia
Bottle Size: 12-oz

Produced from vines in excess of 30 years of age, Pazo de Arribi’s 2009 Mencia offers wonderful aromas of wild cherry, black currant and violet that quickly make their appearance and mingle with the wine’s clean, underlying minerality. These tantalizing aromas emerge in the flavor profile, too, and fold generously onto the palate to reveal a medium to full-bodied red wine with deep fruit flavors, subtle earth tones, and a round seamless structure

Pazo de Arribi Bierzo Godello 2010

Country: Spain
Wine Vintage: 2010
Serving Temperature: 40º-45º F
Grape Varietals: Godello
Bottle Size: 12-oz

Godello is not yet a name on the tip of everyone’s tongue, but Pazo de Arribi’s 2010 Godello may help change that. This wine’s amplifying aroma offers up pretty floral and fresh fruit scents that are laced with a delicate spiciness and fresh minerality. Fig, apple, melon, and pear tones appear in the nose and continue their delightful presence on the palate. Moreover, this wine continues to work its magic all the way to a clean, persistent, finish, exiting with a flourish that leaves the thirsty gullet pleading for another sip.

Country: United States
Wine Vintage: 2009
Serving Temperature: 62°-64° F
Grape Varietals: Syrah
Bottle Size: 12-oz

From one of California's masters of syrah, the Runquist 2009 “R” Syrah pours a super saturated, intensely purple color, and offers a beguiling bouquet of crushed blackberry, Asian spices, pepper, and fragrant wood smoke. Moreover, Jeff Runquist’s lush, old vines style of Syrah offers beautifully balanced flavors reminiscent of black fruits, chocolate, coffee, and forest woodlands. The wine is sure to improve in bottle for years to come, and is, in short, another tour de force in winemaking for Jeff Runquist.

Domaine du Vieux Lazaret Châteauneuf-du-Pape Blanc 2008

Country: France
Wine Vintage: 2008
Serving Temperature: 40°-50° F
Grape Varietals: Bourboulenc, Clairette, Grenache Blanc
Bottle Size: 12-oz

Like all good white Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the 2008 Domaine du Vieux Lazaret will develop complexity and depth as it breathes, so don’t be in a hurry. It presents aromas of dried apricot and pineapple, mingling with subtle herbs, and a faint hint of sea spray. On the palate, this gorgeous white wine offers a full body, lingering flavors, and subtle complexity. Unlike many white wines whose flavor profiles appear wrapped up in the bouquet, this wine’s intriguing center and refreshing, gentle finish are where it’s at

Edgebaston Stellenbosch 'The Honey Pot' 2011

Country: South Africa
Wine Vintage: 2011
Serving Temperature: 40°F
Grape Varietals: Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, Viognier
Bottle Size: 12-oz

Although somewhat misnamed with a moniker that implies syrupy sweetness, this scented, savory, and luscious South African beauty contains good crisp acidity to match its delicious fruit, and offers enticing aromas of tropical fruits, kiwi, papaya and more. Plush and smooth on the mid palate with a multitude of flavors to match its heady bouquet, The Honey Pot 2011 embodies as much crisp acidity as it does ripe, fecund fruit, making for a white wine that is simply hard to resist.

Tolaini Valdisanti Toscana IGT 2007

Country: Italy
Wine Vintage: 2007
Grape Varietals: Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese
Bottle Size: 12-oz

Tolaini’s 2007 Valdisanti Toscana is one Super Tuscan that certainly lives up to the word Super. Deep, rich, and complex, it offers up heady black fruit and cassis aromas, all artfully infused with delicate spice tones. Intense, yet supple and layered, it offers pure fruit flavors, subtle mineral tones, superb balance, and just the right amount of ripe tannin to ensure years of successful evolution. We fell in love with it and the critics have, too (it earned a 93 rating from The Wine Advocate), so supplies are extremely limited.
