The Wines!!

 

Boedecker Pinot Gris $22.99

Flavors and aromas of peach, apricots, Bartlett pear and white flower dominate, while hints of lemon zest, almond and white pepper on the finish add interest and complexity. Good acidity and a creamy texture add up to a huge "delicious” factor.


Cune Rioja Rosado $14.99

100% Tempranillo                                    
Description: Bright strawberry on soft purple background. Elegant floral aromas with intense aromas of red fruits such as strawberries, raspberries and currants. Wine of great tipicity to be a single varietal Tempranillo. Unctuous palate and balanced acidity. Wine of great freshness and perfect companion for appetizers, pasta dishes, oily fish, and pickles that are so difficult to pairing. 
  

The Wine Advocate    NA    FOR THE 2014 VINTAGE
"The just-bottled 2014 Cune Rosado is a bright-colored rosé produced with Tempranillo grapes. It is fresh, clean and floral with a pleasant and easy-to-drink character. It would be ideal with tapas. 200,000 bottles produced."
                                                                                                  

Wine Spectator    90    FOR THE 2014 VINTAGE
"Bold flavors of blood orange, maraschino cherry, rose petal and pomegranate mingle in this full-bodied rosé. Citrus peel acidity and light tannins impart structure. This shows the character and color of a light red wine. Distinctive. Drink now through 2016. 2,000 cases imported. –TM "

 
 
Cune Riuoja Crianza $15.99

The first wine of this winery was named after its initials. At the beginning a red ‘clarete’ wine was made as a fine wine in the style of the Bordeaux “Claret” produced by the great chateaux’s of the Medoc. This wine, formerly known as ‘Tercer Año’ or ‘3rd year’, is today called ‘Crianza’.

Bright cherry colour with some violet nuances. In the nose, red berries aromas remain over the oaky and balsamic notes from its ageing in wood. It shows an elegance in the mouth, yet very lively, with some spice back notes and a very balanced acidity.

 


Novelty Hill Syrah $25.99

“Bright, intense aromas with a rich, round mouth-feel offset by balanced acidity, dark plum and exotic spice that give way to a densely layered, silky finish.”
–Mike Januik, Winemaker
