Torrontés
Winemaker’s Selection, Andeluna – 2007
Mendoza, Argentina
A nose that exhibits gorgeous aromatics of dried flowers, spice, and lychee fruit. On the palate, it has a beautiful structure and acidity. A great pairing with seafood and spicy Thai cuisine.
Torrontés is the characteristic white wine grape of Argentina. The varietal is related to the Malvasia group of grapes which originated in the Eastern Mediterranean and found their way to Atlantic islands such as Madeira. It is not known how the grape arrived in Argentina, but it seems to have been there a long time, suggesting that it was brought by Spanish colonists, quite possibly missionaries.

Tempranillo
Bloodstone, Gemtree Winery, 2003
McLaren Vale, Australia
Only 350 cases produced.
The 2003 Tempranillo yielded less than 1 ton of fruit per acre. Harvesting took place early in March (this is fall – down under) as the balance of tannin, acid, and flavor came on quickly due to the dry winter and hot summer. The 2003 Bloodstone has abundant fruit character yet a tannin structure that aged the fruit gracefully.

Shiraz
Hunt, 2003
South Austalia, 2003
A nice and simple Aussie shiraz. Still maintaining its freshness and crisp acidity. Starting to evolve a nose with some old-world funk, barnyard, and smoke.
Great pairing with duck, beef filet, or pork loin.

Pinot Blanc
Valley of the Moon, 2006
Sonoma, California
Pinot Blanc is a classic summertime wine. California versions of this varietal often have more heft and ripeness than their European counterparts, and the Valley of the Moon is a prime example. Loads of pear and mango fruit complemented by lemongrass and citrus crispness on the back end .

Pinotage
Neil Ellis, 2006
Stellenbosch, South Africa
Pinotage is a grape variety that was created in South Africa in 1925 by Abraham Izak Perold, the first Professor of Viticulture at Stellenbosch University. Perold was attempting to combine the best qualities of the robust Cinsault with Pinot Noir, a grape that makes great wine but can be difficult to grow. Cinsaut is known as Hermitage in South Africa, hence the portmanteau name of Pinotage.
This particular red is obviously well-crafted, an easy-to-like new friend if you haven't yet played with Cape vino. It's medium-bodied and velvety smooth, with pure red raspberry and cherry fruit. A kiss of pepper spice and vanillin oak bring it close to a modern Rhône in style. No need to struggle with food affinities: its moderate weight and dryness make it an elegant all-purpose red.

Merlot
Red Diamond, 2004
Columbia Valley, Washington
Blend: 85% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Cabernet Franc
The 2004 season started hot and dry, which contributed to early ripening. Cool temperatures and intermittent light rain slowed ripening and allowed the grapes to enjoy extra hang time by mid-September. Warm temperatures and dry weather resumed in early fall through harvest’s end. Overall the 2004 harvest is characterized by small berry size and concentrated, quality fruit.
Our staff unanimously agrees: You will not find a better tasting, finer quality American “bargain” wine. Aromas of cherries and cola with hints of spice box introduce this Merlot. The silky palate displays flavors of red cherry, juicy berries and a touch of caramel and mocha.
Merlot for people who don’t drink Merlot.
