Bogle Vineyards California Petite Sirah 2016

(12/2018) Petite Sirah might just be the wine Bogle does best. From their home base in Clarksburg, in southern Sacramento County, the Bogle family delivres yet another successful bottling of this concentrated, medium- to full-bodied red wine. Black fruits are here, along with a hint of red currant, fig and cocoa. Just plain tasty!

(7/7/2015) "Complex aromas of dark fruits and minerals with hints of mint follow through to a full body with round and chewy tannins and a fresh finish. A blend of carmenere, merlot, cabernet sauvignon and syrah. Drink now."

(3/2018) "Vibrant blackberry aromas leap from the glass on this bottling, which also offers anise, violet and dried meat aromas. The palate combines smashed black currants with black pepper and violets, wrapped together by serious tannins. Best Buy"

Crapula "Cr Gold" Jumilla 2013

Wine Enthusiast
(11/1/2015) "Powerful blackberry aromas are matched by creamy oak. This Monastrell-Syrah blend is a driller, with strong tannins and more than enough body weight. Oaky flavors of dark-berry fruits and black plums finish with vanilla and lactic notes. This is rock solid from head to toe; drink through 2021."

(12/15/2018) "Distinctive, with a fresh note of spearmint complementing the juicy core of plum and blackberry flavors. Herb, chai tea and cigar box elements linger on the long, expressive finish, where the tannins firm up but never get in the way. Drink now through 2035." (Australia)

Domaine de Durban Muscat de Beaumes de Venise 2014

Our Score
(3/2019) The famed dessert wine of the Rhone Valley is made by adding Brandy to a 7% alcohol Southern Rhone Muscat, which not only arrests fermentation but yields a deliciously balanced sweetness and a new 15% alcoholic power. A wonderfully unique treat in the world of slightly sweet dessert wines, and a total steal at our reduced price!

Domaine Lafage "Cote Est" Grenache Blanc/Chardonnay/Roussanne 2017

(2/21/2018) "Spice, citrus, white flowers and some seaside saltiness all emerge from the 2017 Cote d'Est, a deliciously fresh, clean, balanced white that represents a smoking value. This beauty has texture, freshness, and length. The blend is 50% Grenache Blanc, 30% Chardonnay, and 20% Roussanne all aged 4 months in tank on the lees, and it's ideal for drinking over the coming year. This cuvee is a joint venture with Eric Solomon and comes from east-facing vineyards planted on gentle slopes close to the Mediterranean, just a few kilometers inland from the sea near Canet-en-Roussillon. Maturity 2018 - 2019."

(3/2017) Our favorite value Garnacha from the northeast corner of Spain is back and it is super delicious! Purply-pink in the glass, the vines for this wine average 95 years in age and are certified organic. Very fresh with a lifted grapey beginning, the wine is deeper than initially suspected, with dark red berry fruit and medium tannins. Winemaker Anna Espelt has delivered another outrageous value.

(2/21/2018) "Another project between Eric Solomon and the Roussillon's Jean-Marc Lafage, the 2016 Evodia comes from higher elevation vineyards and is mostly Garnacha (there's 5% Syrah) aged in a mix of tank and demi-muids. This deep ruby/purple colored is a gorgeous, naked expression of Grenache that just knocks it out of the park. Blackberries, blueberries, pepper, licorice and hints of asphalt all emerge from this plump, sexy, opulent, and shockingly concentrated wine that has incredible charm and character. It's the best 10-dollar bottle of wine I've tasted in years."
