  • Concha Y Toro Marques de Casa Concha Carmenere 2007
    Concha Y Toro 2007

    This is a dangerous wine! With a deep purple hue, long and slow legs, and aromas of cassis-blackberry, dark cherry, chocolate and tumeric, this leads to flavors of blackberry and chocolate that finish soft and smooth. It is dangerous because there are no hard edges and very seamless, which make it taste like juice. What a value! Yum!

  • Maryhill Cabernet Sauvignon 2006
    Maryhill 2006

    Deep, dark ruby color, with clear edges, this Columbia Valley Cab is killer! This has a bouquet of cherry, blackberry and molasses. In the mouth it is viscous and full-bodied, with dark cherry fruit that lingers on the long finish. Stunning stuff, this outshines many Washington cabs at twice the price!

    Jean-Luc Colombo 2006

     A blend of 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah and 20% Mourvedre, this has a seamless mouth-feel, a nose of dusty cherry and cinnamon spice, with kirsch-like flavors and a cinnamon finish, lasting 20+ seconds.  Great value for 10 bucks!

  • Paul Jaboulet Cotes du Rhone 2007 "Parallel 45"
    Paul Jaboulet 2007

    Rich earthy nose with hints of cherry and smoke.  This has complex flavors of bright cherry, smoked meats, and thyme.  Viscous and seamless, this has a long, smooth, smoky finish.  Bravo!

  • Kermit Lynch Cotes du Rhone
    Kermit Lynch 2007

     Stunning stuff!  This has a deep, dark raspberry liquor nose, with racy red fruit, a rich mouth-feel that is very pleasant, and a long, fruit filled finish that lasts for 30+ seconds.  Rumor has it that the winemaker for Vieux Telegraph makes this, with Kermit Lynch himself having a hand in this.  Great stuff!
