- 2006 Red Heads Studio “Yard Dog”, Australia: $11 5% petit verdot, 30% cabernet sauvignon and 15% merlot;
Deep ruby color. Powerful cherry and plum aromas are
brightened by minerals and dried flowers. Strong bitter cherry
and dark berry flavors are nicely framed by dusty tannins and
pick up a bitter fruit pit quality on the back end. Finishes with
youthful tannic grip and impressive persistence. More serious
and structured than just about any other wine at this price.
Believe it or not, this will reward a few years of bottle aging.
- 2006 Llama Old Vine Malbec, Argentina: $13 LLAMA! As its namesake, this wine embodies the
distinctive spirit of our vineyards, spanning the foothills of
the Andes. Aged six months in French oak barrels, Llama is a
rich ruby-purple color, and boasts elegant flavors of black
berries, ripe plum and robust spices with good balance and
structure.
- 2007 Ca’ Del Sarto Barbera D’Alba, Italy: $10 This is a prize Barbera, crafted by one of the elite Barolo
winemakers exclusively for Ca’ del Sarto. The 2007
vintage shows thru in this perfect example of a rich, handcrafted
Barbera d’Alba from the Barolo region.
- 2007 Roots Carmenere, Chile: $11 Deep red in color with gentle tannins and rich flavors of
plum, blackberry and spice. Pairs well with pasta,
vegetable soup, spicy entrees and grilled meats. Its unique
character pairs perfectly with ingredients that are difficult to
match such as garlic, bell peppers, fresh herbs and eggplant.
- 2007 Mas de Guiot Vin de Pays: $10 Made from 60% Syrah and 40% grenache, this is a
winner. There are just under 3,500 cases of this wine.
It displays a dense ruby/purple color and beautiful, sweet
creme de cassis fruit intermixed with touches of forest floor,
acacia flowers, and earth. Aged in tank and old barrels, the
wine is dense and richly fruity, with silky tannins. It should be
drunk over the next 1-2 years, as the real value of these
wines is their exuberance and rich fruit. This large 240-acre
estate is in the Costieres de Nimes. Importer: Robert Kacher
