Item Special Note

• Winner is responsible for any shipping charges.
• Tasting notes:
   
  • Terrazas Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2011: Bright ruby-red. Sexy, musky aromas of plum, currant, tobacco leaf, chocolate and smoke, complicated by roasted fruit and floral nuances (I might have guessed cabernet sauvignon!). Plush, broad and sweet; fuller than the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva, conveying an impression of thickness without excess weight. Finishes very long and seamless, with wonderfully ripe tannins and lingering sweetness of fruit
  • St. Supéry Rose 2013: Brilliant and rich colors of reds and pink combine with a spear of blue hue in this estate grown Rose. Aromas of raspberry, red cherry, rose petal and watermelon are young, fresh and vibrant. Flavors of strawberry, cranberry, and pomegranate complete an opulent profile with a vibrant crisp feel. This is a light, elegant and enticingly fun wine.
  • Altos del Plata Malbec 2012: Redish-purple in color, the nose pours out notes of violets over red berry fruits and vanilla. Chewy flavors of raspberry, blackberry and ripe tannins give this a pleasant finish. More expressive than I expected!
  • Chamisal Chardonnay 2012: This vintage boasts an aromatic mix of lush tropical fruits and ripe red delicious apples, paired with hints of springtime flowers and a clean minerality. The palate belies the Stainless winemaking, rich with ripe pineapple and white peach characters and a long, full mid palate with a clean, lingering acidity.
  • Colli Perugini Grechetto: Here’s a beautiful white that opens with an enticing floral fragrance of acacia flower and Spanish Broom, accented by a whiff of beeswax. The palate delivers ripe pear, peach, pineapple and banana flavotds alongside quenching, crisp acidity. It has a dry, nutty finish.
