  • 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 (89 - Points Robert Parker)
  • 2008 Cotes du Bruno Cotes du Rhone, OR: $10 Penetrating and juicy, this Rhône-Style blend of syrah, grenache, mourvedre and counoise blasts open with plum, dark cherry, blackberry, smoke, Oriental tea, wet stone and black pepper.
