Hansel South Slope Pinot Noir 2009 '09

USA > Red Wine > Pinot Noir

A full-bodied, intense style with lots of black cherry, raspberry, foresty, floral notes, a sensational texture, a rich, concentrated, opulent mouthfeel, and a long, luxurious finish. This stunning Pinot Noir is already providing plenty of pleasure and it should continue to do so for 7-8 years. 94 Parker

Piedrasassi Holus Bolus 06/07 '07

USA > Red Wine > Syrah

Holus Bolus (all together) has four winemakers, eight arms, hence the octopus label. This is one terrific Santa Barbara Syrah. Multi-layered and oozing big bold fruit flavors. Enjoy it now or cellar if you can resist!

Tedeschi Amarone '07

Italy > Red Wine > Corvina

Amarone! Notes of vanilla and ethereal aromas of sweet currants, blueberries and cherries. This is a great wine at a great price. Enjoy with braised red meats and cheese and a hearty peasant's loaf.

Albet i Noya Lignum '09

Spain > Red Wine > Carignan

This red wine is the latest edition to the stunning selection already produced by Albet i Noya. Medium bodied with fruity notes, an earthy edge and rounded tannins. Excellent value! Organic and suitable for vegans.

CVNE Vina Real Crianza '07

Spain > Red Wine > Tempranillo

CVNE is one of Rioja's most prestigious bodegas. The Vina Real Crianza is a blend of Tempranillo and Graciano. Medium-bodied with silky tannins and ripe, sweet fruit. Terrific value. Try with grilled salmon.

Bussola Ca'Del Laito Valpolicela 2005 '05

Italy > Red Wine > Corvina

This is a “ripasso” style Valpolicella that uses the “lees” of Bussola’s Recioto instead of the traditional Amarone “lees”. This technique gives a richly seductive wine, with terrific concentration and voluptuous texture!

G&M Conn Choice Convalmore 1984

Convalmore is a closed Speyside distillery sitting on the grounds of the Balvenie-Glenfiddich estate in Dufftown. Bottlings are rare, and this one from Gordon & MacPhail is very elegant. A KWM exclusive.

Reschke Sauvignon Blanc 09 '09

Australia > White Wine > Sauvignon Blanc

Textbook Sauvignon Blanc from one of Australia's wine-making legends. Lots of gooseberry flavors mixed with fruit salad and kiwi. A lovely crisp and clean white wine to enjoy now.

Trapadis Harys '07

France > Red Wine > Syrah

A big, bold and powerful red wine that's guaranteed to be remembered! Harys, by the way, is actually "Syrah" spelled backward. Monsieur Helen Durand (yes, a man) is one of the Rhone's rising stars.

Trapadis Rasteau '08

France > Red Wine > Grenache

An excellent, underrated and unknown source of top quality Rasteau. Chunky, attractive, herb-tinged flavors revealing notes of black cherries, licorice and pepper. A rustic red. Drink now or 2-3 years. Organic!
