2019 Angels Landing Cabernet Sauvignon – Staff Comments - A stunning Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep black garnet in color with a nose of plums, black cherries, and spice. The flavors are abundant with red cherries, blackberries and nuances of sweet licorice and chocolate. The sweet oak in the finish leads to a satisfying end and a perfect match with red meats, fresh grilled tuna steaks and hard cheese. Was $29.99, sale $17.99.
2015 Molino del Piano Brunello di Montalcino – Rated 93 point Vinous - On the palate, soft textures give way to a zesty expression, as brisk acids energize a mix of spiced cherry, and inner florals, with earthy mineral tones forming toward the finale. The finish is long and spicy, resonating on floral-laced red fruits and a buzz of lingering acids. The 2015 Molino del Piano is a bit beastly, like an unruly teenager, but I must admit that I like it quite a bit. Was $49.99, sale $33.99.
Les Allies Pet Nat Rose - Rated 89 points Wine Enthusiast - Pale pink and pretty, this juicy pétillant naturel offers a soft, lightly sparkling mousse and an expressive mix of ripe peach and peach skin, cantaloupe melon and blood orange sorbet. A hint of almond biscotti shows on the finish. Was $19.99, sale $10.99.
2020 Fleur de Mer Rose - A brilliant coral pink color, Fleur de Mer evokes aromas and flavors of fresh watermelon, cherry, subtle citrus, lavender, and Mediterranean herbs. It is medium-bodied, fresh and elegant with a soft texture and mineral finish. Balanced and refreshing acidity, only $19.99
2018 Skyside Cabernet Sauvignon - The Skyside Cabernet Sauvignon is a very bold wine with black currant and blackberry on the nose with notes of tar and oak. The palate is broad with layers of spicy dark cherry and blue fruit wrapped in a supple texture. The finish is firm and long with balanced acidity, $17.99.
2017 Vale do Bonfim - Deep ruby red color. Floral aromas complemented by scents of brambly red and black fruit and peppery spice. The wine is medium to full-bodied with flavorsome plum and cherry flavors. Good balance between the fruit and acidity. From Portugal, only $11.99.
2019 Edna Valley Pinot Noir - This Edna Valley Vineyard Central Coast Pinot Noir is deliciously rich on the palate while delivering a light-body that is true to the varietal. Layers of blackberry compote and black cherry meld with a touch of tart cranberry for a vibrant acidity. The silky mouthfeel leads to a lasting finish.
