Best Selection of 90+ Point Wines Anywhere!!!
We have one of the largest selections of TOP RATED WINES in the nation. Our outstanding
staff selected
many of these wines well before they received outstanding ratings allowing
us to purchase large quantities at bargain prices. These wines all received top honors
from noted wine publications including; Robert Parker's Wine Advocate,
The Wine Spectator, and Stephen Tanzer's International
Wine Cellar.
Best of all, we do not mark these wines up after they received
their high ratings. We maintain our low prices and in many cases we mark down these
wines to ensure that we have the best prices available. If a supplier marks up a wine
after it receives a high rating - we won't offer it to you as we believe we can offer you
outstanding, and high-rated wines, at good prices.
All SALE Wines featured on this page are marked down 10 - 25%. Additionally,
there is a 10% Mixed Case Discount on all non-sale wines. So when you purchase
12 or more bottles of sale and non-sale wines, you get 10% off all the non-sale wines.
You can't beat these wines, or these prices!
CHAPOUTIER TOURNON SHIRAZ "MATHILDA" VICTORIA 2010, AUSTRALIA
Famed French winemaker Michel Chapoutier has had his hand in Australian vineyards since 1997 and bought two vineyards in Victoria's Pyrenees in 2009. Challenged to create a great Shiraz true to its unique terroir yet reminiscent of its French origins, Michel's Victorian vineyards were carefully selected for their superior aspects and the characteristics that their souls impart to the wine. Mathilda Shiraz is named for both an Australian icon and Chapoutier's daughter Mathilda.
"These wines are of very high quality and deserve readers attention. Hopefully my prose has convinced more than a handful of readers to try these remarkable wines from one of the most fascinating and compelling personalities in the entire wine world, and one dedicated to the highest quality."

VEGA SINDOA EL CHAPARRAL OLD VINE GRENACHE 2010, SPAIN
Bright red. Suave raspberry and cherry preserve aromas are compelling and sexy. Musky herbal and floral qualities add complexity to the nose but fade into the red berry aromas, which continue on the palate. Deep, sweet and pure, with strong raspberry and blackcurrant flavors repeating on the finish. This could easily pass for a serious southern Rhone wine and is one incredible value.

DOM LAFAGE BASTIDE MIRAFLORS ROUGE 2011, FRANCE
Jean-Marc Lafage is one of the hottest winemakers on the planet. He is making outstanding wine in Spain and South America but his best is from his own vineyards in France. This wine is made from organically farmed 100% old-vines Syrah and Grenache and it was rated 93 points by Robert Parker.
"70% Syrah and 30% Grenache aged in concrete. The fact that wines such as this can be purchased is unbelievable. Brilliantly pure with a stunning nose of spring flowers, blackberries, cassis and earth. It is almost incomprehensible that something of this quality, complexity and richness can be purchased for this price. This should be gobbled up as quickly as they hit retailers shelves."

MUGA RIOJA BLANCO 2011, SPAIN
This barrel-fermented Rioja Blanco is a luscious carnival of ripe apple and pear aromas with spicy, herbaceous notes. It delivers silky fullness, coating the palate with a peach and pineapple finish livened by lavender and thyme flavors. Delicious with roasted chicken or grilled snapper.

JUAN GIL MONASTRELL JUMILLA 2010, SPAIN
The 2010 Monastrell comes from 40-year-old vines cropped at 2.5 tons per hectare and aged for 12 months in French oak barrels. "It has a clean fresh nose of bilberry and blackberry that is well defined and elegant for a 15% alcohol wine. The palate is medium-bodied with an attractive chewy entry. The acidity is pleasing - cutting a swath through the black fruit laced with licorice and damson, emerging towards the finely tuned finish. The silver label Monastrell is outstanding for the price!"

VALMINOR ALBARINO RIAS BAIXAS 2011, SPAIN
Light yellow. Pit and orchard fruits on the highly fragrant nose and palate. At once fleshy and focused, with very good cut and an undercurrent of chalky minerality. Closes firm and long, with resonating spiciness and a refreshing note of bitter quinine. This wine should be even better in a few months, or even a year.

ROBERT OATLEY GEWURZTRAMINER MUDGEE 2010, AUSTRALIA
Single vineyard, mature Gewurztraminer vines planted by the Oatley family in 2000. Alluring, textured, dry. Hints of rose water, lavender and lychee, finishing crisp and long. Hand-picked across three passes and cool fermented to dryness.
"Aromatic, dry and distinctive for its orange blossom, lavender and pink grapefruit flavors, with a hint of lychee as the finish sails on. Drink now through 2014."

BADENHORST SECATEURS RED BLEND 2011, SOUTH AFRICA
The aromas of this Shiraz, Mourvedre, Carignan, Cinsault and Grenache blend are perfumed, peppery, spicey, smoky and exhibit ripe red fruit notes. As always the palate texture of this style of wine is supple, smooth on the entry but with enough grip to end dry and refreshing. In the mouth the texture and fineness of fruit tannin and drinkability of the wine is immediately evident.
"The 2011 Secateurs Red Blend has light raspberry, briary and tertiary scented bouquet that is vibrant and demonstrates wonderful clarity. The palate is medium-bodied with fresh, ripe redcurrant and wild strawberry fruit. It is very pure with supple tannins and a refined, natural finish. This is beautifully crafted courtesy of the inimitable Mr. Badenhorst."

BODEGAS VOLVER TARIMA HILL MONASTRELL 2010, SPAIN
The opaque purple-colored 2010 Tarima Hill exhibits notes of chocolate fudge, pen ink, graphite, blueberries and blackberries. This full-bodied, 100% Monastrell should drink well for a decade or more. These amazing efforts taste more like they should cost $30 to $50 as opposed to $20!!

CAN BLAU MONTSANT 2010, SPAIN
A blend of Carinena, Syrah and Garnacha. Dark purple. Sexy aromas of blackberry, blueberry, Asian spices and smoked meat. Supple and open-knit, with sweet dark berry preserve flavors, velvety texture and good mineral bite. Manages to be both nervy and concentrated, with very good finishing clarity and cut. Leaves strong blue fruit notes behind and repeats the spicy quality.
