Another great zinfandel for under $25: WS 92 pt 2007 Mauritson Zinfandel Dry Creek w/ Free Shipping on a case

2007 Mauritson Zinfandel Dry Creek

Last week, we offered the 2006 Ridge Zinfandel York Creek for the insanely low price of $19.99 per bottle, the lowest price in the country. We

knew we were on to something when you demanded more of the Ridge. So, we decided to offer up another zinfandel for you. This time, we have the 2007 Mauritson Zinfandel Dry Creek for $21.99. According to Robert Parker, the source of 40% of the grapes, Rockpile Ridge, is "one of the finest Zinfandel sites in Northern California." This is definitely reflected in the 92 point rating Wine Spectator gave it as well. So not only do we have a great zinfandel at a great price, but we also have free shipping when you purchase a case. So, get it before it goes the way of last week's Zinfandel deal.

WS 90 Point 2007 Momo Pinot Noir from New Zealand

2007 Momo Pinot Noir

When we think of Pinot Noir, we think of regions like Burgundy or the Willemette Valley in

Oregon. However, there's an up-and-comign region that has everyone taking notice: New

Zealand. Pinot Noir is a grape that requires certain conditions to grow, such as a cooler climate. The conditions down in New Zealand have proven to be great, making for some great Pinot. In fact, Wine Spectator gave Momo a 90 point score. Furthermore, you can watch Gary give his thoughts on Momo in the video

below. We think that with the $19.99 price, you'll agree that this Pinot is well worth it.

Reviews: Wine Spectator, 90 Points

Soft and round, with a lively bead of blackberry, plum and spice flavor bouncing easily over silky tannins as the finish persists enticingly. Has style and transparency. Drink now through 2014. 3,000 cases made. –HS

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.

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.

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.

"Why have so many elite Napa and Sonoma Pinot Noir producers-Williams Selyem, Copain and Adrian Fog, to name just a few-begun buying grapes from the vineyards of Mendocino, California's obscure Anderson Valley? In fact, interest from outsiders has inspired growers to plant Pinot at a furious rate. In just the past 10 years, Anderson Valley Pinot Noir acreage has more than tripled: from 350 acres to about 1,200....the Anderson Valley may be one of the best places in California to grow Pinot Noir.

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.

Wine Spectator 89 points
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

We tasted the Clos des Jacobins at our Bordeaux tasting back in September and the wine showed beautifully. Our Bordeaux buyer liked the wine so much that he didn't think we should offer such a low price for a wine of this quality. But, we convinced him to budge on the price since we still have 15 cases in stock. And we need to move some Bordeaux to make room for more 05 and 06 Bordeaux that will be arriving soon.

A great offer on a highly rated 2005 Bordeaux!

In this economic climate, there are tons of opportunities being presented to us every day. But to be honest, we've been passing on many: not because the prices weren't attractive, but because the quality for the price just didn't wow us. Recently, we even passed on a Wine Spectator 92 point Syrah for under $20.

That said, here's one of the offers that we could not pass up: a Tuscan red from one of the top producers in all of Tuscany, Tua Rita, at over 40% off its regular price. An amazing savings for a Tua Rita wine that earned a 100 point score in the 2000 vintage.
