Domaine des Braves Regnie 2011
France / Beaujolais
Aromas remind of cherry blossoms and spring wildflowers over warmed cherry juice, with a hint of baking spices. The mouth is medium-bodied and pure, with good spice and excellent acidic balance; small red berries mix with red plums and pomegranate, juicy and ripe.

Domaine Sauvete Pineau d'Aunis Rosé Meli-Melo 2011
France / Loire Valley
ORGANIC! Natural, fresh and lively, with waves of pomegranate juice mixed with tangerine and blood peaches. A rosé from the unique Pineau d’Aunis grape, which can trace its history in the Loire back to the Middle Ages.

Giovanni Corino Dolcetto d'Alba 2011
Italy / Piedmont
The latest addition to our Piedmont portfolio, Corino is a benchmark for the fine grain, poise and balance of La Morra Barolo. These are supple, seductive wines that are delicious young, yet their balance and poise ensure that 10 to 15 years down the road they will still be extraordinary.

Arlaud Charmes-Chambertin Grand Cru 2010

Floral in the nose, with purple roses and orange zest with some white pepper notes. The mouth delivers cinnamon and cumin on top of a wave of blueberry/ginger jelly and plums. Wonderfully concentrated, deeply and intensely flavorful.

Castello della Paneretta Chianti Classico 2010
Italy / Tuscany
Paneretta is for us the finest example of wine from one of Chianti Classico’s three most important villages, Monsanto. This 400+ year old estate, with its peerless terroir and native vines, offers a genuine experience of Tuscan Sangiovese without the interference of international grapes. Paneretta's Chianti Classico proves that 'Chianti is the best food wine in the world!'

Cordella Rosso di Montalcino 2010
Italy / Tuscany
Elegant, supple and silky—this beautiful Rosso combines cherries and baking spices with a touch of tobacco in its aromas, and the mouth is pure velvet. Very captivating and complex, it has to be one of the more profound Rossos we've had in some time, with a class and distinction that many a Brunello wishes it had.

Delarche Pernand-Vergelesses Les Boutieres Vieilles Vignes Reserve 2010
France / Côte de Beaune-Burgundy
A favorite cru every vintage, and in 2010 the extra layer of fresh red summer fruit and spice is irresistible. Poached cranberries, white pepper and baking spices mix on the delicate nose. The mouth is well-defined and pure, with more red berries and energy, medium-bodied and very silky on the finish. A hint of earth and spice lingers.
