New Finds at Wide World of Wines

Stop by this Saturday between 1-4 PM and try some of our new additions at great price points.

2009 Ronan by Clinet

A wine made by Chateau Clinet's team at Pomerold since the 2000 vintage. The grapes are selected from amongst the best vineyards on Bordeaux's right bank, and then vinified and blended by Chateau Clinet.

The 2009 vintage reveals a brilliant color with a ruby hue. It has a mesmerizing nose of Morello cherries, creamy raspberries and fresh spices. The attack on the palate is elegant and succulent. Flavors of blackberries, blackcurrants and plums then come through with hints of Madagascar pepper. A deliciously long finish. A wine to enjoy every day for its hedonistic pleasure.

Regular Price: $19.99 Saturday Price: $14.99

2009 Domaine Faiveley Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay

A brilliant pale yellow colour with green glimmers. The very nice expressive nose has white flower scents. The attack is bold and generous. This wine, which is balanced on the palate, has good volume and quite exceptional long-lasting scents and tastes for this appellation.

Regular Price: $19.99 Saturday Price: $16.99

2009 Faiveley Bourgogne Pinot Noir

Very focused and juicy, with pretty raspberry, currant, violet and stone aromas and flavors that meld nicely with the firm structure and sleek profile. Elegant overall, with beautifully defined fruit and nice length

Regular Price: $19.99 Saturday Price: $16.99

Wide World of Wines Rhone Valley Offering

All scores are from Robert Parker

2009 Pegau CDP Reserve

Under the estate Domaine du Pegau label, the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee is spending a longer time in barrel and foudre than usual. Consequently, I tasted through three separate foudres, all of which looked spectacular. The final blend will probably be about 80% Grenache, 14% Syrah, 4% Mourvedre and 2% other varietals. The color is a dense black/ruby (one of the more opaque 2009s I saw), and the powerful nose offers up aromas of licorice, smoked herbs, charcuterie, bouquet garni, roasted meats, Peking duck, kirsch, blackberries and cassis. An enormous success, this cuvee has come on like gang busters since I tasted it last year, and may eclipse the stunning 2007. Given its tannin profile, the 2009 will require 5-6 years of cellaring and should keep for 30-35 years. Could this be a modern day version of Pegau's compelling 1989 Cuvee Reservee?

Pre Arrival Price (750): $89.99
Pre Arrival Price (Magnum): $189.99
Score: 95-97

2009 Domaine de la Janasse CDP Cuvee Chaupin

One of my favorites was already the 2009 Chateauneuf du Pape Chaupin (which is always aged in foudres and 600-liter demi-muids, two-thirds in the former and one-third in the latter) and this wine has really put on richness and intensity since I tasted it last year. An absolutely magnificent wine, it scored a good four points higher this year, and it is unusual for me to vary that much from one tasting to the next. Tipping the scales at 15% natural alcohol, this dense purple wine has noble sweetness and an extraordinary concentration of lavender, black cherry liqueur, licorice, and minerality. Full-bodied, with silky tannins, a multi-dimensional, unctuously textured, voluptuous palate and a stunning finish, this wine is outrageously delicious and a phenomenal expression of old-vine Grenache. It should drink well for up to 20+ years.

Pre Arrival Price (750): $89.99
Score: 95-97

2010 Segries Lirac Rouge Reserve

Pre Arrival Price (750): $16.99

2010 Grand Veneur Les Champauvins

The gorgeous 2010 Cotes du Rhone Les Champauvins possesses lots of kirsch, pepper and lavender notes, sweet tannin, a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, and good focus as well as length. It is fresher and livelier than the lovely 2009 recommended several issues ago.

Pre Arrival Price (750): $16.99
Score: 89-91

2010 Grand Veneur Lirac Clos de Sixte

Along with Domaine de la Mordoree, the Jaumes produce one of the finest wines of Lirac. The 2010 Clos de Sixte Lirac should compete with the brilliant 2009. Black currant, spring flower, licorice and crushed rock aromas jump from the glass of this dense ruby/purple-colored, full-bodied, beautifully pure, textured and dense Lirac. It should drink well for at least a decade.

Pre Arrival Price (750): $19.99
Pre Arrival Price (Magnum): $41.99
Score: 90-92

2010 Grand Veneur CDP Rouge Les Origines

The 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Origines is nearly off the charts in terms of concentration. It is a less sexy, flamboyant effort compared to the 2009, but it is noble, reserved and pure with plenty of black and blue fruit notes intermixed with subtle garrigue, graphite and spice box characteristics. Full and rich with high tannins, good acidity and a style built for the long term, this 2010 will benefit from 4-5 years of cellaring, and keep for at least 20-25 years.

Pre Arrival Price (750): $54.99
Pre Arrival Price (Magnum): $114.99
Score: 94-96

2010 Mordoree CDP Reine des Bois

The 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de la Reine des Bois should rival the estate's terrific 2007, 2006, 2005, 2001 and 1998. It boasts a saturated black/purple color and a glorious perfume of melted licorice, acacia flowers, lavender, blueberries, blackberries and kirsch. Full-bodied and dense as well as extraordinarily elegant, precise and fresh, this sumptuous wine should be cellared for 3-5 years, and drunk over the following 25+. It is a candidate for "wine of the vintage."

Pre Arrival Price (750): $89.99
Pre Arrival Price (Magnum): $179.99
Score: 96-98

2010 Grand Veneur CDP Vieilles Vignes

Possessing compelling richness, the awesome, packed and stacked, inky purple-colored 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Vieilles Vignes possesses remarkable intensity of blackberry and blueberry fruit intertwined with camphor, lavender, licorice and truffle notes. Sensational richness and intensity make this one of the most concentrated, long-lived wines of the appellation.

Pre Arrival Price (750): $99.99
Pre Arrival Price (Magnum): $199.99
Score: 95-99

Please note that all orders are pre arrival. All orders will be confirmed.

Jane Ferrari and Yalumba

Saturday 1-4

About Jane

Jane's official job title - Winemaker / Communications - scarcely gives an indication of the scope of her role, still less of her expansive personality. Put simply, her work encompasses public relations and wine education. Her passion is as infectious as it is heartfelt. Born in Adelaide, brought up in Alice Springs and an inveterate traveller, she's been around enough to know that the blend of elements that makes up Yalumba and the Barossa is rare indeed and well worth talking about.

To say her life has been colourful would be something of an understatement. The daughter of an Italian migrant surveyor, she grew up on Aboriginal missions and in Alice Springs as her father worked on the construction of schools, silos and airport runways. A winemaking graduate from Roseworthy College, Jane joined Yalumba in 1987 and worked in technical roles before leaving to join Rockford in 1991.

The Yalumba Harvest Market during the 1995 Vintage Festival was the spark that got her home and since then she has thrived as Promotions Manager, Wine Room Manager, story teller and today is our best wine communicator at large. Her new role brings to life the Yalumba story and our philosophies on viticulture, winemaking and the environment. She is our company crusader, spreading the Y-word across the globe.

2005 Menzies Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon

Winemakers Notes "Unmistakably Cabernet Sauvignon the nose is full, rich and ripe: reminiscent of blackcurrants, cedar furniture, bay leaves and anise. As with recent vintages of "The Menzies" the wine opens with a full berry attack building to a round full mid palate of fruit and oak. The wine is full bodied with great length given by soft, velvety tannis.

Regular Price $44.99 This Saturday Price $34.99

2005 The Signature Barossa Cab/Shiraz

Winemakers Notes "Deep dark red in colour this wine displays aromas which are dense and currant, yet pure and bright. The nose shows lifted florals, violets and chocolate mints. The palate is brooding and serious with dark chocolate hazelnuts and warm generosity. The Signature finishes with long fine powdery tannins. Regular Price $49.99 This Saturday Price $39.99

NV Yalumba Museum Reserve Antique Tawny

This outstanding old dessert wine is deep tawny in colour, with an aroma of wood aged rancio, elegant brandy spirit and hits of dried fruits and spices. The palate has a firm rich texture, with chocolate and caramel flavours and a persistent aftertaste of nuts and rancio characters. Fine spirit characters produce a balanced drying finish. Regular Price $23.99 Saturday Price $19.99

2009 Delas Northern Rhone Valley Wines

We are pleased to offer you the following highly rated Rhone Valley wines.
All wines are in stock.

2009 Delas Freres Crozes Hermitage Domaine des Grands Chemins

There is a lot of good stuff in the 2010, but the real stunner is the 2009 Crozes-Hermitage Domaine des Grands Chemins. Revealing abundant notes of tar, cassis, black raspberries, tapenade and earth in its rich, full-bodied, stunning personality, it should drink well for 10-15 years.

Reg Price: $37.99
Sale Price: $32.99
Score: 92

2009 Delas Freres St Joseph Cuvee Francois de Tournon

The 2009 St.-Joseph Francois de Tournon is showing even better than it did last year out of barrel. An inky/purple color is followed by notes of graphite, smoke, blackberries, cassis, road tar and truffles. With layers of fruit, an unctuous texture and tremendous purity and depth, this stunning effort is a great sleeper of this fabulous northern Rhone vintage. It should drink well for 10-15 years or longer.

Reg Price: $39.99
Sale Price: $34.99
Score: 94

2009 Delas Freres Crozes Hermitage le Clos

There is no problem understanding the 2009 Crozes-Hermitage Le Clos. Aged completely in small French oak barrels, it boasts a striking minerality, a wonderfully dense ruby/purple color and sweet notes of creme de cassis, black raspberries, licorice, crushed rocks and spring flowers. Full-bodied and dense, with some tannins still to shed, it will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring and is capable of lasting two decades.
Reg Price: $64.99
Sale Price: $54.99
Score: 93

2009 Delas Freres Cote Rotie Seigneur de Maugiron

The 2009 Cote Rotie Seigneur de Maugiron exhibits lots of spice, raspberry, cassis, licorice, incense, Christmas fruitcake and fried bacon notes. The smokiness, seductiveness, lusciousness and medium to full-bodied, round, generous texture make for an endearing, sexy Cote Rotie to enjoy over the next 10-15 years. There is not much of the Cote Rotie La Landonne (approximately 500 cases produced), but it ranks alongside the great La Landonnes made by Marcel and Philippe Guigal.
Reg Price: $95.99
Sale Price: $84.99
Score: 93

2009 Delas Freres Hermitage Domaine des Tourettes

The magnificent 2009 Hermitage Domaine des Tourettes boasts a black/purple color as well as a wonderful nose of creosote, incense, charcoal, blackberry jam, acacia flowers, white chocolate and a hint of espresso roast. Full-bodied and unctuously textured with low acidity and magnificent density, this 2009 can be drunk in 5-6 years or cellared for 30-50 years.

Let Wide World of Wines Keep You Warm Tonight & Saturday Tasting

2011-12-14T14:20:00.000-08:00

Armagnac

Armagnac (like cognac) is distilled from white wine grapes, namely the Folle Blanche, Ugni Blanc and Colombard varieties. After distillation, it's aged in casks made primarily from local Monlezun black oak. The key technical difference between Armagnac and cognac is that the latter is distilled twice, whereas the former is distilled only once. This means more time in the oak for Armagnac; the extra patience required rewards a brandy with more finesse and roundness.

The best glass for enjoyment has a rounded belly with a tapered chimney. If you don't have glasses like this, use a tulip-shaped champagne glass, not a snifter. It may feel strange at first to drink your Armagnac from a champagne flute, but you'll be rewarded with a better drinking experience. Hold the glass at chest level and let the delicate fragrances waft up. In a minute or so, your senses will be luxuriating in a cloud of vanilla, toffee, nougat, pepper, rose and chocolate. Now bring it a little closer, maybe to chin level, and you'll begin to see what Armagnac is all about. Here is a neat trick: stick a finger in the glass and then dab the liquid on the back of your hand -- just as you would a perfume sample. Your body heat will cause the alcohol to evaporate, leaving behind only the essential aromas of the Armagnac. After about a minute, smell it up close. The Armagnac will no doubt remind you of dried fruits like apricots,

As the evening progresses, cradle the glass in your hand to gently warm the Armagnac. As its temperature rises, it will release new aromas and its flavor will change. Keep sipping slowly, contemplating and relaxing. Before you know it, you and your glass of Armagnac will have spent the night together.

Wines for Your Holiday Parties

Wether you are hosting your own party or want to bring a bottle or two of wine to a party, here are some of our favorites.

2010 Mount Nelson Sauvignon Blanc

Light-bodied, but still packs a wallop both in flavor and crisp acidity. Green apple, lemon, lime and gooseberry flavors are intense, focused and very refreshing. Drink now.

Regular Price: $17.99 Sale Price: $14.99

2008 Domaine Faiveley Bourgogne Blanc Chardonnay

Light yellow with pale gold glimmers. Very pretty on the nose, opening up with vanilla and white flower scents (linden tree). Bold and balanced on the palate, full and round; the finish is long-lasting with a slightly vanilla touch.

Regular Price: $19.99 Sale Price: $15.99

2009 Perrin Cotes du Rhone Villages Vinsobres Les Cornuds

A blend of equal parts Grenache and Syrah, the 2009 Perrin et Fils Cotes du Rhone Villages Vinsobres Les Cornuds reveals abundant aromas of crushed rocks, spring flowers and blue as well as black fruits in its darker, more cool climate style. It is completely different from the Grenache-dominated wines from the warmer climates of Cairanne, Rasteau, Vacqueyras or Gigondas. The impressive, deep, rich Vinsobres Les Cornuds comes from high elevation (400 feet) vineyards, and should easily age for 10 years.

Regular Price: $19.99 Sale Price: $15.99 Score: 90-93 WA

2009 Tardieu-Laurent Les Becs Fins, Côtes-du-Rhône Villages

A wine that is also already in bottle and a terrific bargain is the 2009 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Les Becs Fins. Aged totally in tank, this blend is dominated by Grenache, with some Syrah, Cinsault, and Mourvedre. A relatively large cuvee by Michel Tardieu's standards, it exhibits super-deep black raspberry and blackberry fruit intermixed with licorice, lavender, and a hint of Provencal herbs. Round, corpulent, generous, and full-bodied, it is a dazzling effort for this price point

Regular Price: $20.99 Sale Price: $16.99 Score: 90 WA

Join us from 1-4 to taste these wines in the store.

Cheers,

2007 Ornellaia 97 Points Wine Spectator

A wine that does everything right and puts it all in beautiful balance. Full-bodied, yet reserved, silky and elegant, with wonderful fruit and friendly tannins. Best after 2012.

Bottle One: $199.99

Bottle Two: FREE

2007 Sassicaia 95 Points Wine Advocate

The 2007 Sassicaia (Cabernet Sauvignon) explodes onto the palate with masses of rich, opulent fruit that caress the palate with gorgeous length and a seamless beauty that is hard to fully capture. Dark wild cherries, plums, spices, minerals and herbs develop in the glass. This is an especially bold, perhaps slightly uncharacteristic Sassicaia in its extroverted personality, but it is beautiful all the same. The inner perfume and sweetness carries through the long finish, where the sheer weight and glycerol of the fruit leaves a lasting impression. The 2007 is more than a worthy follow-up to the profound 2006. While it may lack that wine's freshness, structure and potential longevity, the 2007 is immensely appealing today, and should drink beautifully pretty much out of the gate. That said, Sassicaia is always the most restrained of Bolgheri's heavy hitters. This is a superb effort from Tenuta San Guido. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2037.

Bottle One: $199.99

Bottle Two: FREE

2007 Solaia 97 Points Wine Advocate

The 2007 Solaia saturates the palate with a heady array of super-ripe black cherries, plums, cassis, mocha and sweet French oak. There is an exotic quality to the Solaia I find totally irresistible. Despite its considerable ripeness and opulence, the 2007 Solaia is never heavy, rather it impresses for its extraordinary finesse and balance. Minerals, graphite and crushed rocks frame a long, seductive finish. This is a wonderful Solaia loaded with vintage and vineyard character. The 2007 Solaia is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Sangiovese and 5% Cabernet Franc, aged in 100% new oak. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027.

Bottle One:$299.99

Bottle Two: FREE

1998 Sassicaia 95 Points Wine Spectator

Lovely, subtle yet complex aromas of currants, sage and green olives lead to a full-bodied red with a solid core of fruit and well-integrated tannins. Still very reserved on the finish, but those who are patient should be rewarded. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best after 2005.

Bottle One: $249.99

Bottle Two: FREE
