and green hues. The nose is subtle and elegant, featuring precise fruity notes delivered with a clean
expression, lime and lemon, apple, and fresh pineapple. Add hints of whipped cream aromas for an
overall tempting aromatic profile. Brooks Notes Pinot Blanc 2018, Mendocino………...………….………$24.99……$21.29

spice, and garrigue. Warm and supple on the palate. A perfect match with red and white meat,
pasta dishes, spicy dishes, or cheese.
92 Points-Jeb Dunnuck, Wine Advocate Casa Santos Lima Red Blend 2017, Portugal………….....…….$11.99……$10.19
This “Red Blend Portugal” pays homage to Portuguese producers’ art to take the best from
each grape in order to create the perfect blend. This wine presents a nice ruby color and a
striking aromatic exuberance. Smooth and elegant, it offers delicious flavors of ripe red fruits,
well balanced with notes of wood from 4 months of aging in French and American oak barrels.
90 Points-Wine Enthusiast:
“Bringing together a range of Portuguese and international varieties, the wine is firm, structured,
and richly tannic. It has great acidity to balance the black fruits, and some aging potential.” Bodegas Tobia Damion Tinto 2017, Rioja.……..…..…..…….$14.99……$12.79
85% Garnacha, 15% Tempranillo
Featured in The Washington Post:
“Spicy and energetic, with a sense of flirting with danger, this is a lively red wine
bursting with flavors of dark fruits and wild herbs and a haunting finish. It’s a blend of
Garnacha and Tempranillo. It’s year-round delicious !
“ Rated Excellent—Exceptional ! Dave McIntyre, Washington Post Clos De Napa Cabernet Sauvignon 2017, Rutherford…..…..$29.99……$25.49
“This is a seductive, delicious red, ripe and juicy, and fruit driven. Beautiful on the palate,
it exemplifies luscious currant, black cherry, wild berry, and plumy Cabernet flavors
that are sharply focused and long. The finish is complex and well concentrated.
Enjoy now or cellar for 5-10 years.” Delicious ! |
