WA 95pt Ribera del Duero under $40--Free Shipping with Purchase of Six Bottles or More

2005 Bodegas Aalto Ribera del Duero


It's a well-known fact that age plays a huge role in how a particular wine tastes. This is no exception when it comes to the 2005 Bodegas Aalto Ribera del Duero. Bodegas Aalto's fist vintage of this wine was nine years ago. Just like this wine, their craft has gotten better with age. Check out what The Wine Advocate had to say in its 95 point review:

The 2005 Bodegas Aalto is produced from 100% Tinto Fino grapes that have an average vine age of 60 years(some as old as 90 years). After 23 months in oak barrels, the final result is a big, thick, voluptuous wine loaded with crushed blackberry, blueberry, and cinnamon spice.


Normally a wine of this caliber would sell for at least $75 a bottle. However, Gary's Wine & Marketplace is selling it for $37.99. This is the lowest price in the entire country. But that's not all. We're sweetening the deal by throwing in free shipping when you purchase six bottles or more! We can't think of a better way for you to get your hands on some great wine.

2007 Chalone Vineyards Pinot Noir Monterey: Free Shipping with purchase of a case!

2007 Chalone Vineyards Pinot Noir Monterey

It's a wonderful thing when we here at Gary's can honestly say we've been looking forward to receiving a shipment of a particular wine. This can easily be said of the 2007 Chalone Vineyards Pinot Noir Monterey. Since we sampled this Pinot from the barrel, we can easily say this is the best vintage since 2004. It could even be better.

James Laub from Wine Spectator had much praise to say about the 2007 California Pinot Noir, including "I've really enjoyed many of the 2007s. They are ripe, fleshy, balanced and consistently very good to outstanding". He also said "the 2007 vintage is shaping up as one of the best years ever for California Pinot Noir".

So not only is this Pinot from one of the best vintages in recent memory, it's also ON SALE! Normally $19.99, Gary's is selling this beauty for $12.09. That's 40% off the original price. But that's not all. You also get free shipping with the purchase of a case. It all adds up to another great deal from Gary's Wine and Marketplace.

33% off WA 89 pt 2005 Spottswoode Lyndenhurst Cabernet Sauvignon

2005 Spottswoode Lyndenhurst Cabernet Sauvignon


Back in May 2009, we selected this Cabernet as one of our Premiere Selections. And for good reason too. This Cab comes from the same vineyard as the 96 point 2005 Spottswoode Cab. Delicious aromas of dark roasted coffee and brambly black fruit give way to a mouthful of ripe plums, chocolate and dark cherries on the palate. At 33% off, this is a great deal!

Robert Parker 89 Points

The 2005 Lyndenhurst Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits more restraint and delineation. It seems like a cooler climate wine compared to the more opulent 2004. It comes down to a matter of personal preference, but I liked the showiness and sensuality of the 2004, whereas structuralists and acid lovers will probably prefer the 2005. I would not be surprised to see the 2005 last longer, and actually move ahead of the 2004 in terms of quality in 4-5 years.

If you're looking for a great take on a cru-Chablis from California, then look no further.

Robert Parker 93 points:
If you're looking for a grand cru Chablis look-alike from California, this wine from the fabulous limestone soils of the James Berry Vineyard in Paso Robles has incredible chalky, crisp, stone-like notes, dazzling texture, lots of white peach, white currant, quince, and lemon oil notes, a sensational purity, and a remarkably long finish with good acidity. If there is any oak being used in this cuvee, I certainly didn't smell or taste it. Bravo to Doug Polaner, who put this special cuvee together for his company.

2006 Domaine Serene Pinot Noir Yamhill Cuvee Willamette Valley

There has to be something special about a wine that wine critics can actually agree on. With two 90 point ratings from both Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate, the 2006 Domaine Serene Pinot Noir is one of those wines. Proving that critics can be right, Cellar Tracker has also given an average of 90.3 points from those who have tasted this Pinot. Gary's is selling this sweet wine for $31.99.

Wine Spectator 90 points:
Supple, ripe and generous with its plum, blueberry and crème brûlée flavors, nicely draped with refined tannins, which persist on the focused finish. Drink now through 2014. 7,200 cases made.

Wine Advocate 90 points:
The entry level 2006 Pinot Noir Yamhill Cuvee delivers an expressive nose of rose petal, red cherry and raspberry that leaps from the glass. This leads to a velvety-textured, medium-bodied Pinot with ample sweet fruit, good depth, and a fruit-filled finish. It lacks only complexity. Drink this pleasurable wine over the next 4-5 years. Domaine Serene has turned out its most successful set of Pinot Noirs in several vintages.

RP 96 and ST 94 2006 Dominus Estate Red Wine from Napa Valley

2006 Dominus Napa Valley Proprietary Red PreSale

It's June, and that means Summer is just around the corner. That means sun and barbecues. This Meritage is perfectly suited for times like those. With a 96 point rating from Robert Parker and a 94 point rating from Stephen Tanzer, it's a surefire winner for that dinner party. Arrival is expected in July, just in time for the best days of Summer.

Robert Parker 96 points:

"There are 6,500 cases of the superb 2006 Dominus (91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot). Its dark plum/purple color is accompanied by aromas and flavors of truffles, forest floor, black cherries, black currants, and Asian spices. One of the finest wines of the vintage, it is complete, full-bodied, and seamlessly built with beautiful ripe tannins, low acidity, and a luscious, layered mouthfeel. The aromatics are even more evolved and complex than the 2005's. The 2006 should drink well for 20-25 years."

Stephen Tanzer 94 points:
Bright red-ruby. Lovely floral lift contributes precision to the aromas of raspberry, rose petal and licorice. Sweet, high-pitched and sharply delineated; velvety but not thick. There's a juicy quality to the ripe red fruit, mineral and graphite flavors, not to mention a firm underlying spine, that promises a long and positive evolution in bottle. Quite young but not austere, finishing with building tannins and lovely lift. The lingering perfume of red fruits, pepper, flowers and licorice is unusually complex. A really superb 2006, seemingly every bit as good as the sensational 2005.

New World vs Old World: Two Great Wines From Chile and Spain

2006 Vina Perez Cruz Carmenere Reserva Limited Edition - Even better is the 2006 Carmenere Reserva Limited Edition, a deep crimson-colored wine with a superb aromatic array of scorched earth, pencil lead, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. On the palate spice, plum and chocolate notes emerge followed by a lengthy, fruit-filled, pure finish. It is an exceptional value in Carmenere.


2005 Castano Solanera Vinas Viejas - Saturated purple. Smoky raspberry and cherry on the nose, with a nice mocha quality adding complexity. Fleshy, round dark fruit liqueur flavors caress rather than pummel the palate. Gentle tannins arrive late to add structure but this is all about silky, juicy fruit.

2006 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia Ornellaia

If ever there was a week for Bordeaux-lovers to consider an affair with a different appellation, this is it. The prices for 2008 First Growth Bordeaux were released last week; they're being sold for about $200 a bottle on Futures. The wines are in barrel and won't be released until 2011 and the vintage is.. average. At the same time, the 2006 Tenuta dell'Ornellaia has been released. The price is $139.99 per bottle, the wine is in the store tomorrow, and the vintage is exceptional, scored 97 points by the Wine Advocate. Who knows what the Wine Spectator will give it when their ratings come out? Needless to say, we passed on the 2008 First Growths and instead invested in the 2006 Ornellaia. An easy choice, even for our Francophile French Wine Buyer, and an easy choice for you. Change is good. Embrace it.

A Bordeaux Blend From Italy with First Growth Quality!

Wine Advocate 97 points :
The 2006 Ornellaia flows from the glass in a profound expression of ripe, dark fruit. With time in the glass layers of minerals, cassis, tar, sweet herbs and French oak emerge, adding further complexity. This harmonious Ornellaia combines the richness of the vintage with superb freshness and awesome balance. Today the wine's sheer density almost manages to hide the tannins, but they are there, and the wine will ultimately benefit from a few years in the cellar. The 2006 Ornellaia is one of the highlights of this sensational Tuscan vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2016-2026.

Our South American buyer has been on the prowl for the new cutting edge wines coming out of South America. It paid dividends recently when she discovered the wines from Vina Perez Cruz in Chile. The wines were outrageous to say the least. We brought them in basically the next day after tasting them. The Carmenere Reserva Limited Edition was the standout QPR of the three wines we brought in.

We're one of the only retailers to discover this wine but the critics have as well. Take a look at just some of the accolades for the Vina Perez Cruz Carmenere. In the Quarterly Review of Wines, Rosemary George MW singled out Perez Cruz as one of the best cutting-edge producers delivering top quality wines in Chile. A Silver Medal winner at the 5th Annual Wines of Chile Awards. And most recently, a 90 point score from Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate with a glowing tasting note which is below.

OUR LATEST RELEASE FROM THE GF PRIVATE LABEL SERIES: Gary's Own 2005 Go Figure Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon Lot 3

For the Go Figure series, we've begun sourcing wines crafted by the industry-leading winemakers who had a little extra left over from their own bottling. The result is stellar wine hand-selected by Gary and sold to our friends at a significantly lower price than at the winery itself. We can't tell you whose juice it is, or who made it..but we can tell you we lucked out in finding it!

2005 GF Go Figure Oakville Cabernet Sauvignon Lot 3
If amazing deals on juice like this are a sign of the times, then viva la recession, friends! The 2005 vintage brought a little more quality Cabernet fruit than this Oakville winery was prepared to bottle under their own flagship label, so we were more than happy to swoop in and bottle the rest as our third exclusive bottling under the Go Figure label. Sourced from fifty-five acres of some of the most tightly spaced vines in California on some of the reddest, rockiest soil in Oakville, this wine is made from an impeccably-researched combination of the best clones from California and Bordeaux. A mild summer and fall in the 2005 vintage allowed for extensive hang-time and flavor development in the grapes without excessive sugar development. The result was classic cassis and rich red and black fruits on a rich palate. Look for bright red cherry and raspberry on the nose, along with a little cinnamon, allspice, and pine. A velvety mouthfeel shows just the right richness without being cloying, and solid structure and tannins make for a medium to long finish with a good dose of warm spice at the end.

There's obviously plenty of reasons to buy this Chardonnay from the Russian River Valley. But, the most important reason to buy this is the quality of the wine. We hand-selected this wine in California tasting it against many more expensive and familiar Chardonnays from Sonoma and Napa. The Sevona was a big, rich California Chardonnay but the difference was that this had a little more balance on the finish with some minerality and structure.

And you're getting the extra savings from us bringing it in without the fancy marketing costs and the extra margins that would come with a wine of this quality if a big supplier were to come across it.

Duckhorn Pinot under $30!
Lowest price in the country
FREE SHIPPING on a six pack

Migration Pinot Noir comes from the same vineyards as the highly rated and regarded Goldeneye Pinot Noir in Anderson Valley, the sister label of Napa's Duckhorn. Migration is not that far off from the quality Goldeneye and yet it sells for $20 a bottle less.

Anderson Valley is quickly becoming known in the wine trade for producing some of the best cool climate Pinot Noir in all of California. To us, "cool climate Pinot Noir" means that the wine will have good clean fruit, nice acidity, and lower alcohol. And perhaps most importantly, well-made cool climate Pinot makes for a great food Pinot.

This wine was chosen for our April Wine Club, which is focused on "Green" wines in celebration of Earth Day. Pick up a bottle before April 22nd and give a nod to a sustainable winery that will keep our vineyards healthy for generations of winelovers to come!

Wine Club Review:

If you're going to create an entire winery based around one species of wildlife, then it's only fair to say you've got to be wildlife supporters in the long haul. The folks at Duckhorn (who create varietal wines under the Duckhorn, Paraduxx, Goldeneye, and Migration labels), have just such a commitment through their sustainable winemaking practices and Napa Green Certification (a program that ensures that the soil, wildlife, and water are conserved on and around their vineyard properties.) Migration Pinot Noir is the sister label of Goldeneye, and is produced entirely of Anderson Valley Pinot Noir. Choosing from a veritable palate of 22 clonal varieties in 23 separate vineyard blocks, winemaker Zach Rasmuson crafted a wine in the 2005 vintage that carries a nose of earth and cherry, a palate full of delicious cherry fruit, and a silky finish with notes of forest floor. Drinks beautifully now, and should continue to do so through 2010/2011.

Rich and savory, with a cherry cola-sassafras aroma that spills over to the palate, giving it a distinctive flavor profile. Finishes with a long, complex, fruity aftertaste, with a hint of mineral. 89 points
