Chatequ Trotte Vieille St. Emilion Cru Grand Classe
375 ML
$17.99
Saint Emilion wines are considered the most robust of the Bordeaux. They are generous, very colored, and reach their maturity quicker than other red Bordeaux.

Quinta do Noval Porto
2000
$90.49
Superdark and powerful. Shows raisin, spice, coffee and violet aromas. Full-bodied, very chewy, with lots of grip and loads of fruit. Very long in the mouth. Outstanding young port. 

Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc
2006
$19.99
Pale straw green in colour and mouth-wateringly fragrant, the Cloudy Bay Sauvignon Blanc is redolent of a mid-summer kitchen ... ripe passionfruit, yellow plums, juicy limes and freshly picked basil. The palate is pure and refreshing with all the hallmarks of a small but perfectly formed crop ... flavours that echo the aromas, with piercing concentration, impeccably balanced acidity ... and a long, crisp finish. 

Cabreo II Borgo Toscana
1997
$29.99
A Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon super-Tuscan blend, this wine shows rich, dense aromas of wild cherry and black currant offset by notes of leather, herbs and vanilla. On the palate, it is velvety and complex, with ripe tannins repeated on the elegant finish. 

Golden Eye Pinot Noir
2005

$45.99
This well-balanced, medium-weight wine offers bright acidity and a long, satisfying finish. The aroma is rich and evocative of dark cherries, nutmeg, caramelized apple, cinnamon, and clove. On the palate, it is full of plum, spice, cherry, strawberry, and vanilla oak layers. Though delicate and understated, this wine’s compelling force of flavor, weight, and potent spice create a depth and density that cannot be missed. 

Golden Eye Migration Pinot Noir
2006
$31.99
This wine is textured with an integrated oak component and features a dense palate. There is a hint of pennyroyal mint (native to our area) in both the nose and mouth. The aroma is full of red fruit–strawberry, raspberry, and Bing cherry–complemented by a floral note and a touch of oak. In the mouth, sweet spices abound–cinnamon, in particular–along with dense plum and notes of cola and vanilla, all followed by an edge of earthiness, mushrooms, and forest floor in the finish.

Quinta do Vesuvio
1996
$64.99
A ripe and rich '95 boasting a remarkable essence of crushed berries, this is classic Port. It's full-bodied and quite sweet, with the velvetiest of tannins and a long, long ripe fruit finish. 

  Ferrari-Cerano Tresor
1996, 1998
$46.99
Ferrari-Carano presents its finest blend of the five classic Bordeaux varietals – Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec, Petit Verdot, Cabernet Franc, and Merlot – from the best selections of all our vineyards in Alexander and Dry Creek Valleys. Aptly named “Trésor” for “treasure,” the grapes are hand harvested from dry-farmed, low yielding vines primarily on our mountain vineyards. Expansive aromas of blackberry and licorice from the Cabernet Sauvignon pair with the exotic notes of blueberry, cherry and black currant from the Malbec and Petit Verdot to provide the signature of this Meritage blend. With a full bodied and richly textured tannin profile, this blend exudes a concentrated palate of intense red and black berries, chocolate and espresso.

Viader
1999, 2000
$56.99
Our distinctive blend allows Cabernet Sauvignon to provide the backbone, structure, character and complexity with succulent fruit and rich tannins. The added Cabernet Franc instills the aromatics and imparts a silky structure as well as suppleness and elegance while capturing an ideal balance between the two varietals; the Cabernet Franc contributing early approachability and the Cabernet Sauvignon providing long aging potential.  

Warres Porto
2000
$59.99
Straightforward yet intense, ripe black raspberry liqueur and cassis scents are followed by a medium to full-bodied, elegant, restrained, balanced port with moderately high tannin as well as outstanding purity. 

Churchill's Porto
2000
$59.99
This young Port shows intense aromas of black licorice and berries. It's full-bodied, with superfine tannins and a long, long finish. 

Graham's Porto

Henschke Mount Edelstone Shiraz
1998
$61.99
Deep crimson in colour. Sweet ripe plum, anise and blueberry aromas with earthy/dusty hints, gentle ferny characters, spicy cedary oak and eucalypt. Sweet, juicy and ripe on the palate with a fleshy texture, good structure and depth, firm ripe tannins and a long rich finish. 

 


Fonseca Porto
2000
$79.99
Sporting an opaque, black-colored robe with dark purple trim, the Fonseca Vintage Port exhibits a nose of profound depth. Its sweet black mass of dark fruit and spice aromas leads to a character of immense depth, richness, and weight. 

Dominus 1998
1998
$130.99
1998 was an “el Niño” vintage, resulting in a cool climate throughout the Napa Valley. Thanks to their French experience, Christian Moueix and his team knew immediately how to react: work even harder in the vineyard. By rigorously crop thinning, when the warmer weather of September arrived, the vines could concentrate the flavors in the few clusters remaining and allow the fruit to ripe. 

Dominus 1999
1999
$130.99
The last vintage of the century will be remembered for its exceptional quality. This vintage was characterized by its extremely long growing season—a season where patience eventually paid dividends in the form of wine with outstanding character, power and complexity.
