Dominio de Tares Baltos Bierzo Mencia
$27.99
You may not have heard of the Mencia grape before, but the critics certainly have! Baltos, made from 100% Mencia, has collected a ton of awards over the years. Wine Spectator calls it "one of Spain's best reds," giving it 90 points. (It ranked 67 out of the magazine's 100 best wines.) So, it's definitely not an unknown grape. This one is made from 40-year-old dry-farmed vines, and shows hints of violets and minerals. Fresh, elegant, clean and delicious.
Tenuta Sette Ponti Crognolo
$44.99
91 points from Robert Parker's Wine Advocate! The review: "The 2009 Crognolo is a beautiful, fleshy red. Dark black cherries, mint, flowers and minerals are woven together nicely in this fresh, delineated entry-level wine from Sette Ponti. The tannins remain a touch firm, so ideally the Crognolo should be cellared for an additional 6-12 months. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2016."
Clerget Volnay
$174.99
The 2019 Clerget Volnay is matured in 20% new oak and is completely de-stemmed. It offers darker fruit compared to the Volnay Village with raspberry wild strawberry and cranberry. Hints of briary and sous-bois develop in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied with a vibrant element of blood orange suffusing the bright red fruit with a slightly chalky textured finish. Very good tension throughout this Volnay that should give 15-20 years of drinking pleasure. (Drink between 2022-2040).

While Saint Cosme may be known for their southern Rhone wines, this pure Syrah from their northern Rhone vineyard is excellent. Granite slopes rather than flatlands give the wine greater structure and complexity. The wine shows classic aromas and flavours of black fruits, smoked bacon, black peppercorn, and incense.

J. Denuziere Crozes Hermitage Rouge
$40.99
Ramonet Chassagne Village Rouge
$119.99
Created in the late 20’s by Pierre Ramonet , the domaine is now manage by Noel and his brother Jean-Claude, the third generation. Today, the domaine comprises 17 hectares surronding the village of Chassagne-Mt, Puligny-Mt, Saint Aubin but also Bouzeron and Pernand Vergelesses. They produce what are widely regarded as one of the most sought after and collectable wines in all of Burgundy.
Although best known for his whites, Ramonet's reds are remarkably fine too. Pinot Noir is grown all over the world but rarely can it outshine the wines of the Cote d'Or. This Village offers great value with the signature flavors of a true Burgundy - fruit flavors of raspberry and wild strawberry with notes of roses, violets and truffles.
