Rouge

Chateau Chapelle D’alienor, Bordeaux

80% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc. Classic and classy. Chateau Chapelle d’Alienor is a proud new addition to our Bordeaux selection. This is simply fast ball claret, and scratches the itch for an earthy, satisfying cool weather red to pair up with hardy winter cuisine. This property encompasses 52 hectares planted on gravel, limestone-clay. The wine is vinified in stainless steel before 8 months in once-used-barrel for 20% of the wine. Whatever the recipe, it seems to bring the wine into perfect balance.

Cabernet Sauvignon, Unshackled California, USA 2019

Vibrancy of fruit is focal point of this wine. Featuring aromas of plum and blackberry with a hint of olive. Flavors of black stone fruit, clove, and dried herbs with solid tannin structure result in a flavor-forward Cabernet Sauvignon with balanced acidity.

Cotes Du Rhone, Sait-Esprit

Salentein Reserve, Malbec 2020

Pure, rich and very elegant; a powerhouse of lush black fruit, silky cocoa, black spice and cream, wrapped around blackberry, cherry and ripe plum. Layered and complex with a nose to linger over, a finish that never ends.

Chateau De Parc Saint-Emilion Grand Cru, 2015

This wine has a rounded and opulent bouquet with a boysenberry jam and raspberry nose. Modern in style, the palate is medium-bodied with supple tannins and good acidity. The wine has a rich red color with sheen and great intensity. Very ripe, red fruit notes on the nose contrast with spicy notes for beautiful complexity. On the palate, it has a great onset: frank, direct and sustained by beautiful red fruits that linger in the mouth throughout the tasting. Spicy and light wooden notes are present throughout.

Fracture, Syrah 2018

Prisoner, Cabernet Sauvignon, 2018 CA, USA

US$185.00

Decoy Merlot, California 2019

Blend Composition: 80% Merlot, 18% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Cabernet Franc From its plush, refined tannins to its rustic undertones, this alluring Merlot offers juicy layers of black cherry, raspberry and plum. On the palate, the flavors are pure and polished, with a mouth-coating texture that carries the wine to a luxurious, fruit-filled finish.

Rose

Quinn Rose, Cote De Provence France

Light and bright in color. The nose has very intense aromas of orange peels and red currant. The wine in the mouth is smooth with a nice freshness. Fresh, lively and perfectly balanced, fantastic quality, a glass in hand transports you to the seaside and the French riviera lifestyle, watching the sea and the sky, surrounding yourself with friends and family, and enjoying life to the fullest.

Chateau Minuty Prestige Rose 2020

Pale with pomelo highlights. The nose is precise and delicate with notes of flowers and melon. In the mouth, the wine is powerful and well balanced, with notes of citrus and red fruits. It is the most structured and expressive of all the Minuty wines. The whole is underlined by a pleasant minerality.

Bodvar, Cote De Provence France

Quite serious Rose - red berry fruit, herbal and floral notes on the nose. On the palate good mix of rich- and freshness, very elegant. Slightly bitter finish, nice persistence.

Prosecco, Belvive

This wine is less about thinking and more about drinking. Bright and fun flavors on the nose lead you to either drink it like any great sparkling wine or if so inclined, feel free to blend it with your favorite OJ or Peach Juice for a brunch cocktail that everyone will be happy with

Veuve Clicquot, "Yellow Label", France

He blends 30-45% reserve wines with grapes from as many as 50 to 60 different crus. The Pinot Noir predominance (50-55%) provides the structure that is so typically Veuve Clicquot, while Chardonnay (28-33%) adds the elegance and finesse essential in a perfectly balanced wine, and a touch of Meunier (15-20%) rounds out the blend. The long aging in our Crayeres (3 years minimum for Yellow Label) gives silkiness to the Champagne.
