Two heads are better than one: 2007 Chateau Ste. Michelle Eroica Riesling

2007 Chateau Ste. Michelle Eroica Riesling


It is often said that two heads are better than one. Look at great collaborations and see what they have accomplished. The same thing could be said about wine, too. The collaboration of Chateau Ste. Michelle in Washington and Dr. Loosen in Germany has resulted in the 2007 Eroica Riesling. The critics say this wine was definitely a great pairing, resulting in scores ranging from 91-93 points. Check out the reviews below


Reviews

91 points - Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, July 2008
The 2007 Eroica Riesling, made in collaboration with the Dr. Loosen estate in Germany's Mosel region, is light to medium straw-colored with fragrant aromas of spring flowers, mineral, and honeysuckle. Crisp and just off-dry, in a Kabinett style, it delivers flavors of melon and pineapple. The wine is balanced and vibrant and may well evolve for several years in the manner of a top German Mosel Kabinett. It can be enjoyed now and over the next 5-7 years.

91 points - Wine Spectator, June 2008
Bright and juicy, with bracing acidity against lightly sweet, expressive pear, apricot and quince aromas and flavors, remaining vibrant as the finish lingers. There's a slate character lurking in the background, too.

93 points - Wine & Spirits, August 1, 2009
Eroica, the joint venture between Dr. Loosen and Chateau Ste. Michelle, produced a focused, ethereal and pure 2007. This vintage is a blend of fruit from Evergreen, Viewcrest, Horse Heaven and other vineyards. Its aromas are all about citrus, with hints of lemon and tangerine, while the taut flavors are more pearlike. A fine, mineral finish gives the wine balance and poise.

RP 90-93 pt 2007 Domaine Palon Vacqueyras on sale now for $19.99

2007 Domaine Palon Vacqueyras


One of the great benefits of traveling to France is, of course, trying all the various wines from the many wine-producing regions. Our wine buying team did just that back in March of this year when they went in search of a Vacqueyras. During their time in the Rhone, they came across this on from Domaine Palon. When they recorded their findings, they knew that this one was the clear winner. And we give winners the star treatment here at Gary's. You can grab yourself a bottle of this beauty for $19.99, 20% off the original price. For more information, check out Robert Parker's review below:

Reviews: Robert Parker 90-93 points

The 2007 Vacqueyras (a blend of 75% Grenache, 16% Mourvedre, and 9% Syrah) is excellent. Its deep ruby/purple color is followed by aromas of black currants, black cherries, licorice, smoky roasted herbs, and meat. This full-bodied, plump, succulent effort is a hedonistic Provencal wine that should provide enormous pleasure over the next 5-6 years. Domaine Palon owns 45 acres of vines in the southern Cotes du Rhone, with 12.5 in Vacqueyras.

"Terrific plum, blackberry and forest floor aromas. Medium body with silky tannins and a finish and flavor intensity of a wine 2-3x the price.
Drink it over the next 1-2 years-an amazing value! 90% aged in tank, 10% aged in oak for three months, a malbec fruit bomb!"

RP 90 pt 2007 Travis Chardonnay Unfiltered Monterey for under $15

2007 Travis Chardonnay Unfiltered Monterey


There truly is nothing like a good Chardonnay from California. While there are those who like theirs from oak, there is a rising trend. Unoaked chardonnays are becoming more popular thanks to their clean citrus fruit flavors. Gary's has this great example of an unoaked Chardonnay for $12.99! In fact, this bottle is so good that Robert Parker gave it a 90 point rating. Check out his review below:

Robert Parker 90 Points

These unoaked chardonnays represent terrific value. Even better is the gorgeous 2007 chardonnay, which possesses more of everything. Fuller bodied with more fruit, body, freshness and depth, it, like its older sibling, is best drunk during its first 2-3 years of life.

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.

Gary's Wine and Marketplace has this 2006 White Helix Chardonnay on sale for 25% off its original price. This cru Chablis inspired chardonnay earned an "outstanding" rating from Robert Parker.

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.

Great price on 90pt Pinot Noir from Domaine Serene --Free Shipping on Six Bottles or More--

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. On top of that, when you purchase six bottles, Gary's will throw in free shipping. All this adds up to another great deal!

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.

We're all waiting in anticipation for the 2007 Chateauneuf du Papes to arrive. Heck, we're waiting for all 2007 Southern Rhones to arrive whether it's a Cote du Rhone, Vacqueyras, or Gigondas. But, we also are starting to see some interesting offers on 2005 and 2006 Chateauneuf du Papes. We've passed on many but here's one that we could not resist. A great producer of Chateauneuf du Pape and to be able to sell it at just $29.99! We had to grab some of this and pass the savings on down to our customers. This is just a great $30 bottle of wine that will easily age for 5-10 years if you wanted to wait that long. Enjoy!

Here's what Robert Parker said of Domaine de Beaurenard,

"Domaine de Beaurenard is a consistent estate that has been making top-notch wines for as long as I have been writing about wine, which is now 28+ years."

Wine Spectator 92 Points

This has lots of juicy grip, with a strong, briary undertow supporting red and black licorice, hot stone, currant paste, tobacco and chestnut notes. The long, muscular finish is typical of the vintage. Best from 2010 through 2025. 100 cases imported.
