A Highly Rated Bordeaux and A Cult Italian Red Now In Stock
Chateau La Vieille Cure Fronsac 2010
 "Always one of the ripest and most hedonistic of the Fronsacs, this wine again delivers the goods.
Dense ruby/purple, with loads of black currant and licorice-infused black raspberry fruit, this wine has stunning density, a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, and impressive purity, texture and length. The high Merlot content always seems to ensure a wine that has accessibility young, but also has the potential to easily last for a decade or more.
This is once again a major sleeper of the vintage.
A stunningly opulent, even voluptuous style of wine from proprietor Colin Ferenbach (an American, of all things!), this blend of 75% Merlot, 22% Cabernet Franc and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon emerges from 45 acres of hillside vineyards in Fronsac." (Robert Parker, Wine Advocate)

"This takes a modern approach, with a noticeable dose of dark, roasted espresso and chocolate up front, but remains grounded in the appellation's textbook racy chalk and charcoal profile. The core of lush fig, plum and blackberry fruit sits in reserve, and the finish is polished and long. Impressive. Best from 2015 through 2025. 6,000 cases made." (Wine Spectator)

Occhipinti Nero d'Avola Siccagno 2010
 "There's a wild, untamed quality to this 100% Nero d'Avola that comes forth as almond, wild berry, cola and dried ginger. Made according to biodynamic principles, this is fresh, tart, focused and complex. It offers a thrilling experience." (Wine Enthusiast)
