Rodney Strong Sonoma Merlot

Rodney Strong recognized the Alexander Valley as an ideal place to grow Cabernet Sauvignon as far back as 1971, when he planted his first Cabernet vineyard, the Alexander's Crown. The Merlot is classic California, big and juicy in the red berry realm.
Andeluna 1300 Cabernet Sauvignon
$23.99
The grapes for this wine are carefully hand-selected from vineyards located at 1300m ASL in the Uco Valley of Mendoza. After maceration, fermentation is started with natural and selected yeasts and takes place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. The wine then ages in French oak barrels for a period of 3 months and then in the bottle for at least 3 months. Pronounced notes of spicy white pepper and clove
on the nose with a hint of red pepper. Well-balanced with integrated tannins and a long, spicy finish.

Hidden Bench Pinot Noir Beamsville
$52.99
Evodia Old Vines Garnacha
$23.99
90 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate for the 2014 vintage, and what great value! The review: "This blend of 90% Grenache and 10% Syrah aged in concrete and demi-muid is a custom cuvée from importer Eric Solomon. Made from very old head-pruned vines that are not irrigated in pure slate soils, some of the vines are close to 100 years of age. This is really an amazing wine for the price. It is a fruit bomb, so those not wanting flavor, or in search of wimpy wines need to consider a light beer. Deep ruby/plum purple, with loads of blueberry and black currant fruit, underlying crushed rock notes and some floral scents are all present in this remarkable wine...These are the kind of wines I wish had existed when I was in college."
