Introduction

A selection of four wines from their shop offerings

Flight 1 (4 Notes)

  • 2004 Sandoval Cabernet Sauvignon 91 Points

    USA, California, Napa Valley

    This wine has excellent QPR. Rich garnet in color, with lush aromas of dark chocolate, berries, and a tinge of pepper it drinks smooth, rich and round with a note of vanilla and earth at the very end. All the flavors that you expect from the aromas are there in abundance. What a wine, and all at a relatively low 13.5% alc/vol. This proves that you can make an intense cabernet without letting the alcohol levels creep up into the clouds.

  • 2004 Bodegas Muga Rioja Blanco 88 Points

    Spain, La Rioja, La Rioja Alta, Rioja

    Made of Viura and Malvasia grapes, this tart and refreshing white would be a hit with those who love French sauvignon blancs. The wine had aromas of grass, herbs, and Granny Smith apples, and these aromas were echoed on the palate.

  • 2004 Campion Pinot Noir 87 Points

    USA, California, Central Coast

    Edna Valley Pinot Noir with 7-8% Pinot Gris. It was a rich, ruby red with flowery aromatics and a juicy cherry and strawberry set of flavors that finished with just a touch of mushroom. If you like your pinots fruity, this would represent good QPR.

  • 2005 A to Z Wineworks Pinot Gris 87 Points

    USA, Oregon

    Aromas of peach and pear led to a creamy, lush, and round flavor palate that was soft and easy to drink.
