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.

2005 Hesketh Shiraz Usual Suspects

In keeping with wines that are good for Summer, a Shiraz should be very high on your list. These wines pair great with any kind of barbequed meat, perfect for firing up the grill. Well if it's any country that knows a good Shiraz, it's the Australians. Noted Australian wine critic Tim White gave this Shiraz, the 2005 Hesketh Usual Suspects, 93 points. If you've never heard of Tim White, he's among the more noted wine critics in Australia, right up there with James Halliday. So, a 93 point rating from Tim is certainly a great seal of approval. This Shiraz is definitely worth picking up. Plus, if you get a case, we'll throw in free shipping!

Reviews

Australian Wine Critic, Tim White 93 Points

A bit pongy to begin but blows off quickly to reveal plenty of cassis and spice and some black pepper, which is unusual for McLaren Vale shiraz. Some peach kernel too. Attacks with cassis and plums, and some more candied peach-like stuff. Perfectly balanced dry tannins balance the sweet fruit and there's subtle oak toastiness too. A damn tasty shiraz.

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.

WA 91 pt 2003 Altair Sideral 33% off

2003 Altair Sideral

When a wine gets consistently high ratings from reputable wine reviewers, that usually means that you have shell out quite a few bucks to get your hands on a bottle, let alone a case. Gary's Wine & Marketplace has the 2003 Altair Sideral for $19.99 per bottle. This Chilean wine got a 91 point rating from Wine Advocate, a 91 point rating from Wine Enthusiast, and a 95 point rating from Wine and Spirit. The critics all agree that this is a great bottle of wine. Read the reviews below to see for yourself. Add to that the $19.99 price tag and you've got yourself a steal.

Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, June 2007, - 91 points
The 2003 Sideral, a blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 4% Syrah and 2% Sangiovese, is purple-colored with aromas of toasty black currante, cedar and spice box. This is followed by a smoothly textured wine with ripe red and black fruits, spicy flavours and soft tannins. The wine is forward enough to be enjoyed now but will evolve for several years.




Reviews

95 points - Wine & Spirit, 2005
'Stylish plummy and perfumed nose with notes of toffee. Finely balanced and complex with great concentration'

91 points - Wine Enthusiast (Nov 2005)
'Finely oaked, with lovely cedar scents accenting robust but smooth black cherry and dark plum aromas. Sings a pretty tune in the mouth, with ripe berry fruit, tobacco, toast and a long finish. A significant step up from the first vintage'
