2007 Silver Palm Cabernet Sauvignon North Coast California

 “The 2007 vintage bares its soul, as
seductive wafts of dark chocolate cherry
rendezvous with aromas of black peppercorn and wood smoke. Draped in a shade of plush ruby, intense flavors of black currant and blackberry compose a seamless symphony on the palate, enriched by espresso, cocoa and vanilla tones from 10 months’ aging in 72% French and 28% American oak barrels. Rich tannins lead to a silky, lingering finish, beckoning you to come back for more.” Winemaker notes

2007 Qaramy Malbec Uco Valley Mendoza Argentina

“Intoxicating and intense aromas hint at the heady mixture of flavors you will experience with this gorgeous dark ruby red wine. A perfume of fragrant summer night air mixes with bold flavors of red cherry, dusty rose, ripe strawberry and earth that linger in the mouth, coating and infusing it with beautiful floral characters, ripe fruit and lasting tannins. Smooth, yet textured, this enigmatic wine leaves you with all your senses sated.” –Winery notes

2008 Domaine des Pasquiers Côtes du Rhône France

Deep dark color, with sun baked plum and berry with a little chocolate on the nose; plenty more of the same on the palate, with a solid earthy anchor and a note of cola with air.  Full bodied, with big structure and presence; a solid wall of earthy tannins vie with the rich core of fruit for dominance of the wine’s
personality.

2009 Finca El Reposa Bonarda Argentina

 Bonarda is the most widely planted grape in Argentina, but nobody knows where it came from.  All we know is it’s 100% delicious!  With heavy duty aromas and flavors of black and red cherries, plums and violets, this wine has soft tannins and bright acidity making it the perfect pair for the likes of tomato pasta dishes, grilled spicy sausage and, of course, pizza.

$9.99/$7.49/$6.74

2006 CK Mondavi Zinfandel  Wildcreek Canyon California
