The Critics Agree On This Outstanding Chardonnay

2010 Hamilton Russell Chardonnay
$1 per Bottle Shipping on Six or More

The rave reviews keep coming in for Hamilton Russell Chardonnay. This is a South African Chardonnay that drinks like a cross between a top notch Sonoma Coast Chardonnay and a fine white Burgundy.

Stephen Tanzer, known to be a highly critical reviewer, rated the previous two vintages at 92 points, and in both cases referenced a similarity to Burgundy with comments such as “minerality that reminded me of Chardonnay from the Meursault/Puligny district” and “like a hypothetical blend of Meursault and Chassagne.”

The Wine Spectator has rated each of the last nine vintages of Hamilton Russell Chardonnay at 90 points or higher. The Wine Advocate rated the last two vintages with 92 points or better, and recently they awarded the 2010 Hamilton Russell Chardonnay a 93 point rating!

It’s not just getting attention with the American critics either. We held a dinner last Fall with Thierry Pillot, winemaker at Domaine Paul Pillot in Chassagne Montrachet, and he commented that he noticed Hamilton Russell Chardonnay on our shelves and told us he thinks it’s outstanding!

2010 Hamilton Russell Chardonnay, a truly outstanding 93 point Chardonnay for $23.99 per bottle with $1 per bottle shipping on six or more!

Neal Martin, Wine Advocate 93 Points

"Raised in 35% new oak barrels, the 2010 Chardonnay is more reserved than the 2009 but retains very fine delineation with hints of grapefruit and nectarine. The palate has a very attractive hazelnut and lanolin-tinged entry. It has wonderful definition and a taut, citrus finish that is long in the mouth. Try to resist temptation and cellar this for several years. Drink 2012-2020."

Tanzer’s Best Value Red Burgundy From 2009 Vintage

2009 Cornu-Camus Pernand Vergelesses
$1 per Bottle Shipping on Six or More

Our latest arrival from Burgundy’s much heralded 2009 vintage may be the best value we’ve discovered thus far. It is the Domaine Cornu-Camus Pernand Vergelesses. The village of Pernand Vergelesses is tucked in a small valley just behind the famous hill of Corton, home all of the Grand Cru red vineyards of the Cote de Beaune.

Possessing nice clean red fruit, elegance, and good mineral character, the 2009 Cornu-Camus Pernand Vergelesses is an exceptional value. You could cellar the wine 2-4 years, but we think it’s drinking so well right now that you’ll have a difficult time leaving the bottles alone that long.

The 2009 Cornu-Camus Pernand Vergelesses is Stephen Tanzer’s highest rated 2009 Red Burgundy under $50. In fact, it’s the highest rated Red Burgundy under $50 that he has ever reviewed. It’s a testament to just how good this Pernand Vergelesses really is!

A super value, we are offering the 2009 Cornu-Camus Pernand Vergelesses at just $21.99 per bottle. Plus, we’ve thrown in reduced shipping on six or more bottles!

Steven Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 91 Points

"Good bright medium red. Superripe aromas of maraschino cherry and cinnamon lifted by a note of rose petal. Sweet, lush and fine-grained, with a solid core of sappy cherry and raspberry fruit brightened by energetic minerality. Displays the flamboyant ripeness of the vintage without going over the top. Finishes with broad, dusty tannins and lingering spice and red fruit notes. You can easily spend $30 these days for mere Bourgogne rouge."

Great Value Premier Cru White Burgundy for $19.99

2008 Jean-Marc Boillot Montagny Premier Cru
$1 per Bottle Shipping on Six, Free Shipping on Case

Some of the best values in white Burgundy these days are those coming from the Cote Chalonnaise region, located just south and west of Cote de Beaune appellations of St Aubin, Chassagne Montrachet, and Puligny Montrachet.

We’ve got one of those values from the Cote Chalonnaise region from Jean-Marc Boillot, a favorite producer of ours. The wine we are talking about is the 2008 Jean-Marc Boillot Montagny Premier Cru.

This Premier Cru Montagny nearly has the feel of Chassagne Montrachet with it’s richness, but finishes with the stony minerality and lemony citrus character that you generally find in Montagny. Montagny is often called the “Chablis of the South” for this reason.

The 2008 Jean-Marc Boillot Montagny Premier Cru is a bargain for a Premier Cru white at a price of just 19.99 per bottle, with $1 per bottle shipping on six and Free Shipping on a Case!

Jon Visser Wine Buyer 4 stars

"Ripe tropical fruit falvors on the nose. On the palate there is plenty of richness from the malolactic fermentation. The fruit though is more of a lemony-citrus with stony minerality. A tremendous value for a premier cru white Burgundy at 19.99!"

Great Value Sauvignon Blanc From Chile

2010 Casa Julia Sauvignon Blanc
$1 per Bottle Shipping on 6, Free Shipping on Case

The search for a quality Sauvignon Blanc under $10 is always a difficult task. For this reason we recently picked out a number of inexpensive Sauvignon Blancs from around the world to taste in hopes of finding a few quality ones.

What we discovered, which is no surprise, was that the best values seemed to be from Chile and New Zealand. Most of the New Zealand wines fell in the $10-15 range though. The Chileans were very reasonably priced below the $10 mark. The best of the group was the 2010 Casa Julia Sauvignon Blanc.

The 2010 Casa Julia Sauvignon Blanc displayed ripe honeydew melon and pear with a very soft and supple finish. It was just a perfect summer white wine, a fruit driven styled Sauvignon Blanc with a smooth finish. Josh Raynolds of the International Wine Cellar agreed with us, rating it 88 points!

Very well made Sauvignon Blanc for a bargain price at $7.99 per bottle, with $1 per bottle shipping on six and Free Shipping on a Case!

Josh Raynolds International Wine Cellar 88 Points-- Pale straw. Fresh pear, melon and quinine on the nose. Dry and nervy on entry, then fleshier in the middle, displaying chewy orchard fruit flavors and a sweet melon nuance. Nicely plump but focused, with good closing breadth and sappiness.

The Critics Are All Raving About This Washington Syrah

2007 Rasa QED Syrah Walla Walla
Free Shipping on Three or More, PLUS $36 off Coupon on Six!

Everyone has heard of the world class Syrahs from Cayuse in Walla Walla Valley, Washington, who came onto the scene in 1998. Their first reviews from the Wine Spectator and the Wine Advocate were 93 and 87 respectively. Today, everything seems to be 95-98 points.

Now, the new and hot winery on the scene in Washington is Rasa Vineyards. Their 2007 Rasa QED Syrah really impressed us recently in a tasting. Only 640 cases produced. Ultra-ripe and concentrated with great length and finesse on the finish.

The 2007 QED Syrah is their inaugural wine and they’ve made quite a statement with the level of quality! The critics have agreed as well with scores of 94 in the Wine Spectator, 94 in the Wine Enthusiast, 93 in the Wine Advocate, 93 in the Rhone Report, and 91 from the International Wine Cellar.

2007 Rasa QED Syrah is destined for greatness much like Cayuse with its early reviews from the critics! $39.99 per bottle with Free Shipping on 3 bottles. As a bonus we’re offering a coupon for $36 off on just six bottles using the coupon code 36OFFQED. If you want more than six, just use coupon code 15PERCENTOFFQED and you will get the same $6 off every bottle whether you want 7, 8, 9, or more! These special coupons are only valid through Sunday, July 24.

Wine Spectator 94 Points-- Supple, complex and distinctive for its black olive and mineral character, all wrapped in a blanket of ripe blackberry fruit and nappy tannins, persisting impressively on the long, vibrant finish. Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre. Best from 2012 through 2017. 640 cases made. –HS

Jay Miller, Wine Advocate 93 Points-- The first release, the 2007 QED is made up of 94% Syrah, 3% Grenache, and 3% Mourvedre sourced from several top vineyards. It was aged in 25% new French oak. Dark ruby-colored, it offers up a classy nose of pepper, mineral, smoked meat, game, spice box, and blueberry. This leads to a mouth-filling, intense, super-concentrated, opulent wine that has enough underlying structure to evolve for 3-4 years. It will deliver much pleasure through 2022 if not longer. This is a very fine debut indeed!
