2005 Chardonnay Stellenbosch South Africa
90 Rating Wine Spectator
A plump, ripe style, with rounded pear, grilled hazelnut and Jonagold apple flavors that carry through the creamy, almost showy finish. Still bright enough, despite extra bottle age. Drink now. Only 2,133 cases made. $ 15.99 12 pack for $ 172.68 ( $ 14.39 )
Turnbull
2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
92 Rating Connoiseurs' Guide
12% Syrah; 5% Cabernet Franc; 3% Malbec; and 2% other. Over the last several vintages, Turnbull has impressed with its very well-made and comparatively affordable Cabernets. It hits the very same marks once again in 2006, and wins applause for its deep fruit, fine focus and classic structure. Its ample oak is always subordinate to elements of cassis and ripe cherries, and its integral tannins provide solid varietal spice without being too tough or abrasive. It overall sense of proportion and balance are just what we look for in ageworthy wines, and what is good here will get only better over the next five to ten years. $ 34.99
6 pack for $ 197.94 ( $ 32.99 ) 12 pack for $ 359.88 ( $ 29.99 )
Conundrum
2008 White Blend California 89 Rating theWinetoBuy.com
Gorgeous aromas of apricot, honeysuckle, and vanilla and lime zest enhance a deeply-flavored palate of tropical fruit, peach, pear and honeydew melon flavors. The complexity of this wine is brought into balance with a rich, round, soft texture; fresh, supportive acidity; and a stunning, satisfying finish. Winemaker's notes. $ 19.99 6 pack for $ 113.94 ( $ 18.99 )
12 pack for $ 215.88 ( $ 17.99 )
Villa Mt. Eden
2006 Pinot Noir Grand Reserve Bien Nacido Vineyard Santa Maria Valley 88 Rating Connoiseurs' Guide A Good Value Designation
Sweet oak abounds and serves as an equal partner to raspberries and cherries in this nicely plumped, moderately full-bodied look at Pinot Noir, and, while fairly ripe, the wine is not defined by its ripeness as much as it is by its very obvious varietal fruit. Its uncomplicated pleasures might come at the cost of complexity,but this is a tasty and eminently likeable wine that delivers the goods at a noteworthy price. $ 13.99 6 pack for $ 77.94 ( $ 12.99 )
12 pack for $ 143.88 ( $ 11.99 )
