91-92 pts Gary Vaynerchuk![]() "We just looked at each other and we knew! Ian Dorin and I were in Bordeaux earlier this year and stumbled on a wine that rocked our socks, came from one of the great vintages of all time, had some age to it so it drank like silk and was under $20! We knew we just found ourselves a winner! This wine is 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10 % Cabernet Sauvignon and brings the magic of the 2000 vintage to every sip! I was blown away by the complexities and this wine reminds me of most $30-$50 wines from the vintage! A HOME RUN!"

89 Pts Robert Parker![]() Patrick Lesec Bouquet Cotes Du Rhone 2005 "A terrific offering is his 2005 Cotes du Rhone Bouquet. Much of this comes from old vine Grenache from the village of Rasteau. It shows a nice roasted herb, scorched earth, and chocolatey character, impressive ripeness, medium to full body, and a long finish. It should drink well for 5-6 years. These are all noteworthy wines and generally sell for very realistic prices, so kudos to Patrick Lesec! I can’t speak highly enough of the job that Patrick Lesec does as a negociant, putting together interesting and high quality blends of Cotes du Rhones and Chateauneuf du Papes. He seems to have a talent for finding top quality sources for old vine Grenache, and his philosophy of bringing wines up is one of minimal intervention in a reductive environment with little exposure to oxygen. That’s important, because his wines often take a few years after bottling to strut their stuff. I have been very impressed with how the wines do perform in bottle, having purchased 1998s, 2000s, and 2001s, all of which seem to come into their own at about age four or five. I also noticed that his 2005s generally showed better out of bottle than they did last year prior to bottling. "

Syrah/Cab from Arizona![]() "Medium to full bodied. Dusty black cherry & berry fruit with a hint of new oak. Flavors of black cherry and menthol. Nice structure and tannin. Needs some time to open up. Decant. (Cabernet & Syrah Blend.) This Shape Shifter experienced a winfall. Because of my decisions regarding the 2006 Sensei, lots of top notch juice found its way into the blend. Solid, solid wine." -Winery

Bordeaux for under $20![]() Reviving a tradition which saved our ancestral varietals from phylloxera, the cultivation of the fertile banks of the Gironde estuary gave birth to Pont Rouge de Paveil. Pont Rouge de Paveil is the perfect expression of the new Bordeaux style with abundant and pure fruit, a lovely texture with intense freshness and roasted finish.

87 Pts Wine Advocate![]() Fontana Misterio Roble Ucles 2006
"85% Tempranillo and 15% Syrah blend from estate vineyards in DO Ucles. This 10 year old parcel is selectively harvested to ensure the highest quality of fruit. After the malolactic fermentation, the wine was aged in American oak barrels to give complexity, structure and balanced oak and fruit aromas. Brilliant and deep red-violet in color. Lively and intense with some red hues that denote the oak aging process. Powerful, fruity nose showcasing complex aromas, with subtle touches of strawberries and raspberries, with vanilla and caramel hints. The delicate aroma of oak appears in perfect harmony with the fruit. The long and clean finish leaves a persistent sweet flavor due to the firm and ripe tannins." - Importer

90 Pts International Wine Cellar![]() "Dark purple. Cassis and dark cherry on the nose, with smoked meat and black cardamom adding depth and a serious mien. A weighty, structured blend with sweet dark berry compote flavors and supple tannins adding support. Surprisingly lively on the finish, which repeats the dark berry qualities and leaves a zesty, peppery note behind. This is an outstanding value but needs some air to show its best."

Great Washington Value![]() "I like the wine's deep rich color and lush aromas and those big juicy flavors that remind me of black berries and ripe plums. Try it with hearty soups, barbecue, ripe firm cheeses and even a piece of dark chocolate." - Richard Kinssies from the Seattle Post Intelligencer. The read the full story, click here

90 Pts Wine Advocate |
90 Pts International Wine Cellar![]() "50% Monastrell and 25% each of Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo. Dark
red. Suave, oak-spiced cherry and cassis on the nose, with a gentle
vanilla undertone. Sweet dark fruit flavors are round and supple, with
soft tannins building on the back. Picks up a spicy quality on the long,
juicy finish. The fruit and oak work very well together."

Rich Chardonnay![]() "Annabella Chardonnay is a full flavored wine with medium body and a rich concentration of fruit. It has overtones of apples and pears with a wonderful nose and mouth feel. A subtle essence of new oak creates a lingering finish. This wine pairs perfectly with grilled salmon, herbed chicken or a mild cheese."

Gary V's Napa Blend![]() Take a look at what wine lovers are saying on CellarTracker! http://www.cellartracker.com/wine.asp?iWine=558176
"This is an exciting project for Gary Vaynerchuk and all the Vayniacs out there as they all get the reference here. Gary put together a blend of 48% Merlot, 34% Sangiovese, 15% Syrah, and 3% Cabernet Sauvignon and really thinks he found the balance and harmony he was looking for when he came up with this project. Unburdened by over-oaking, it features cascading waves of red and dark fruit, a velvety mouthful, and a lengthy finish. We're proud to say that this amalgamation of red varietals BRINGS THE THUNDER for us... TRUST YOUR PALATE and decide whether it brings thunder for you. Also the perfect gift for any Vayniac out there, though this is far from a gimmick." $11.98 on Sale

88 Pts Australian Red![]() Bleasdale Langhorne Crossing Shiraz/ Cabernet 2006 "Bright red. An expressive bouquet of red and dark berries, along with subtle floral and mineral nuances. Sappy, smooth and fruit-driven, with palate-coating raspberry and blackberry flavors and no obvious tannins. Finishes with good clarity and length."
