A bright, deep plum red color with slight hints of purple shows the youth, purity and freshness of this classic Bordeaux blend. The aromas detected take one on a journey of black cherries, fruitcake and nuances of shortbread. Hints of cedar, dark chocolate and oak compliment and amplify the fruit while the outstanding characteristics lie in the elegance, longevity and depth of this wine's finish.   2005 La Cour Pavillon Rouge - Bordeaux - France - Bordeaux Superieur Wineries from all over the world aspire to create wine in a Bordeaux style by blending there grapes to induce complexity. Right bank vintners believe in substantiating this history but when a vintage like 2005 comes around, Merlot was their ultimate performer. Robert Parker hailed it as an "extraordinary year," awarding 95+ points to Bordeaux for this vintage. With scents of raspberry and dark cherry, this wine exhibits ripe elegant fruit met with a powerful body and fullness. Ripe silky tannins flow over your palate as hints of chocolate and dark spices melt into your tongue. This wine is showing its full fruit now and with no oak aging, the 100% Merlot will peak in 2 to 3 years. Excellent to match with steak, pasta or soft cheeses. Try whipping up fettuccine pasta with asiago cheese and artichoke pesto topped with grilled sirloin cuts.   2005 Corral de la Villa - Spain - Tempranillo After this Tempranillo was made, a sample was sent to the Regulatory Council of Navarra for inspection on quality and approval to bottle. Navarra is the strictest appellation of Spain, demanding only select, quality grapes be used. This ruby red, juicy wine delivers lively intense cherry flavors with balanced, silky tannins and fresh acidity. Made from 100% Tempranillo, the "grape king of Spain," it will age very well or complement your next meal of chipotle-infused chicken or spicy vegetarian couscous.   2005 Red Letter Diaries - USA - Lodi - Tempranillo Tempranillo is the de facto national grape of Spain; supply the ingredients for the great wines of Rioja. It is no surprise that in the similarly hot California region of Lodi this grape is finding a very successful home. Tempranillo is a thick-skinned grape that grows very low to the ground and needs plenty of sunshine to cultivate its ripe, juicy flavors. Red Letter Diaries Tempranillo is a testament to the winemaker's journal as drops of the future wine are constantly blotting his notes while watching the evolution of the wine. This wine's well-structured, medium-body and delicate feel will give you a long lasting finish chock-full of fruit and dark chocolate. An excellent match to roasted pork loin, Osso Buco or smoked salmon. But the balanced acidity makes it a good overall wine to enjoy with friends and family anytime.    2005 Torciano - Veneto - Italy - Cabernet Sauvignon Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world's noblest of grapes. It produces a wine embraced in aristocratic character that's sure to be immediately noticed upon first taste. You'll find this red to have an ample and intense perfume, a slightly grassy essence with overtones of raspberry and other wild fruits. The palate is dry with good body and there's blackberry and bramble flavors that bask in a lingering persistence which culminates into a mouthwatering finish. Enjoy with hard cheeses, grilled steaks, and a Tuscan favorite - wild boar.   2003 Shelby Grant -  California - USA - Cabernet Sauvignon This deep ruby-red wine's complex vine-fruit layers, redolent of blackberry with traces of chocolate and liquorice, make it justly famous. Firm tannic structure, full body and great balance give it a long, full finish and allows this wine to age with great dignity-and to delight in its youth, imparting its powerful, rich and long-lasting flavor with great finesse.   2006 Casa Donoso Reserve - Maule Valley - Chile - Chardonnay As with all great Chardonnay, you will be amazed with the pleasing aromas of lightly toasted bread, butter cream and caramel. This 2006 Chilean Chardonnay is no exception to excellence. Harvested completely by hand and barrel-fermented in new American oak barrels, this wine is an expression of prevailing hard work. It pairs well with a variety of fish, particularly Sockeye Salmon, or try it with creamy pasta or rice dishes.   2005 Intrigo Chardonnay IGT - Piave - Italy - Chardonnay Lemony, honeysuckle fruit pours out of this light, yet soulful white wine emerging from Italy's most renowned, northern region. A crisp, full body is alive with brilliant golden hues and intense aromas of pineapple and mango that lead into immediate flavors of chamomile and toasted Vienna bread. Supple texture that is easy-going and refined, perfect for enjoying with friends and family on holiday. Smoked stuffed salmon, clams and fresh lobster are just a few of the endless recommendations we can give.   2005 Le Muse "Piave" - Veneto - Italy - Pinot Grigio This fresh white wine from the Veneto's fashionable Piave region steps well beyond most of the Pinot Grigio's available in the U.S. market today. Providing a multi-dimensional taste enjoyment, you'll enjoy the crisp but complex tones of fresh herbs, tropical melon and a wild flower bouquet. Having its distinct fruit flavors of pear and citrus makes it a perfect accompaniment to fish and seafood dishes or a simple aperitif.   2005 Harbor View - Monterey - USA - Pinot Grigio California Pinot Grigio, which is an off-shoot of the Pinot Noir grape, is native to Europe and is mostly grown in Northern Italy. It is also produced in Germany and France, but known as Pinot Gris. The grape has caught on like wildfire in the States and California winemakers have been quick to pick up on this trend. However, finding the right place to grow this wine has not been easy. Monterey and its cool, foggy vineyards seems to be the region Pinot Grigio responds best to. From their Harbor View Vineyards, San Antonio Winery produced this Pinot Grigio with aromas of flowers, citrus fruits and almonds. Its supple, ripe and full personality makes this wine perfect as an aperitif or partner to light appetizer like light salads or fresh oysters.   2005 Maurel Vedeau Le Causse - Languedoc/Roussillon - France - Sauvignon Blanc The pleasing sight of pale yellow with slight hints of green first approaches your senses, while the citrus fruit envelopes your taste buds in this Sauvignon Blanc from Southern France. It offers a fleshy mouth and nice freshness at the front accompanied by a thirst-quenching sensation, all ending with a fruity finish. Bottle life of this wine is about 2 years, so it is best to enjoy young. Excellent with seafood or grilled fish or simply as an aperitif with your family and friends.   2006 Pendoorn - Western Cape - South Africa - Sauvignon Blanc Six years ago, when proprietor Kobus du Plessis first stood on the hills of the Western Cape surveying South Africa's Table Mountain, Robben Island and Tygerberg Hill, he knew right then and there that this piece of virgin earth would provide the foundation for exceptional wine. Du Plessis Wines have been praised with high recognition, even as a relative newer winery, earning gold medals from Veritas, and high honors from John Platter wine guide, including a 3-star rating for your Pendoorn Sauvignon Blanc. Medium-bodied, fresh and crisp, this Sauvignon Blanc opens up to hints of citrus blossom and spice. Green peppery flavors are accentuated with tropical notes - all enclosed in a perfect screw cap top to lock in the refreshing acidity and prevent tainted cork aromas. A perfect partner to oysters, sushi and flaky whitefish. Also goes well with steamed asparagus, green salads and Camembert cheese.   *In the unlikely event of a wine becoming unavailable, a substitute of similar style and of equal or greater value will be supplied.    Shipping Policy Due to state laws and regulations we can only ship wine to the following states: AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, ID, IL, IA, IN, LA, MA, MI, MN, MO, MT, ND, NE, NH, NJ, NM, NV, NY, NC, OR, OH, SC, TX, VA, WA, WI, WV, WY.
