2021 Laville Pavillon White - Staff Comments: 98% Sauvignon Blanc and 2% Semillon for brightness. A beautifully crisp and zest white Bordeaux! White peaches, tart granny smith apples, lime zest, with a lemony, soft finish. Perfect for summer; it’s thirst quenching and would pair nicely with a spicy cucumber salsa, a green chili goat cheese or chilled crab claws. Was $16.99, now $9.99.
2018 Angels Landing Pinot Noir - Staff Comments – From the Sonoma Coast. A beautiful garnet color with wild violets on the nose. Medium bodied and supple! This beauty can put any French Burgundies to shame. Ripened raspberries, cranapples, Bing cherries with a touch of birch bark. Such an easy drinker! Serve this with pork tenderloin with a cranberry sauce, salume, or a young Swiss cheese. This wine only improved the longer it was opened. Was $24.99, now $14.99.
Nicolas Feuillatte Brut - Rated 92 points Tasting Panel - Light golden color and aromas of fresh pear. A charming wine with moderate but firm bubbles and expressive pear and apricot notes. Crisp, tangy, and lively; balanced, juicy, and long. Was $44.99, now $36.99.
2017 Covalli Langhe Nebbiolo - Rated 90 points James Suckling - Rose-water, orange rind and citrus are the main elements on the finely perfumed nose. Medium body, quite intense acidity, and a fruity finish. Drink now. Was $14.99, now $12.99.
2016 Chateau Castegens - Rated 93 points Wine Enthusiast - From vines on the slopes of its castle, a witness to the 1453 end of the Hundred Years' War, this solid, concentrated wine has everything in the right place. It has the power of the vintage, showing firm tannins, rich black fruits, and acidity. The wine will develop slowly and surely and should be ready from 2023. Was $27.99, now $14.99.
2019 L 'AUTHENTIQUE Chateau Moulin de Clotte - "100% Merlot. A deep purple color with a fine and fresh nose of red and black fruits. Generous and rich mouth with supple tannins. A refined style wine. Drink as an aperitif or with grilled meats." Winemaker's Notes. Was $24.99, now $12.99.
2020 Enlightenment Garnacha Blanc - If you are like us and love crisp whites you should try a Garnacha Blanc. This is lovely one to get you started. Sprinkled with tangerine and grapefruit, minerals and a salty characteristic that comes from the vineyards close to the sea terroir. Perfect to pair with Curry chicken salad, spicy peanut sauce, orange chicken, or a salsa Verde. So delicious. Was $19.99, now $11.99.
I AM Red - Staff Comments: This is a decadent four grape blend from Sonoma California! Notes of milk chocolate brownies on the nose. Aged in Scotch barrels for 45 days, this over delivers! Black walnuts, lush boysenberries, macerated plums with a touch of espresso and caramel latte. The wine just glides off your tongue-instantly our new favorite! Pair this with a Colorado filet mignon or a sausage lasagna; the finish never ends. Was $24.99, now $13.99.
2021 Balthazar Fry Rose - Staff Comments: This is 100% Pinot Noir rose from Alsace. An appealing scent of tangerines and pink grapefruit. This was dry and medium bodied with touches of apricots, zesty mandarins, clementines, and a hint of fresh rhubarb! Perfect for summer get-togethers, and picnics. Have this with pasta primavera, vichyssoise, or melon balls and salami. Was $19.99, now $13.99.
2021 Whispering Angel Rose - Rated 91 points James Suckling A rosé with lemons, cantaloupe, orange peel and peaches. Just a hint of bitterness. Medium-bodied with hints of tannins. Fruity, yet not over the top. Crispy and creamy. Summer pleasures. Was $24.99, now $21.99.
