FINALLY BACK IN STOCK!!  This 97 point Bordeaux is the bargain of the year

2019 CHATEAU BOURDIEU BLAYE COTES DE BORDEAUX: HIGHLY-RATED, HARD TO FIND, YET STILL ONLY $19.98!!!

"Flamboyant and deep, with ample, lush and fresh forest fruits, bramble and cassis, with cascading sweet spice swiftly following.  A super, brooding wine which will shine brighter with time" - Decanter, 97 pts and Platinum Medal

A Bordeaux rouge with a stratospheric rating and reasonable price is exceedingly rare, so when we offered Château Bourdieu Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux 2019 in April, this super Bordeaux sold out almost immediately.  Wines such as this are highly sought-after and correspondingly difficult to obtain, and we're frankly surprised that we've now been able to obtain more!  So to answer the inevitable question "do you expect to get more?": we simply don't know!  So we suggest acting now while we have the proverbial "bird in the hand", and yes, we've resisted the temptation to hike the price.  A powerful, age-worthy Bordeaux for under $20 is becoming rarer by the day, and with that remarkable 97 point rating from Decanter magazine, this hard-to-find Bordeaux will again sell out at our sale price of $19.98 a bottle!

When tasting this lovely Bordeaux, the adjective "brooding" comes to mind- it offers dark colors and intense concentration of flavor, but also a sense of something held in reserve.  The 2019 Château Bourdieu Blaye Côtes de Bordeaux is like a coiled spring, with a sense of power lurking beneath the dark-fruit surface.  This age-worthy red can easily hold for another five years, but you can enjoy it now by letting it breathe- perhaps decant it, and give it time to open up.  By the way, the appellation "Blaye-Côtes de Bordeaux" is just north of the Gironde River, across from the "left bank" Médoc region.  The vineyards of Chateau Bourdieu are right near the river (see photo), and as the crow flies are in close proximity to famous left-bank appellations like Pauillac and St. Julien.  Still, this is a classic "right-bank" wine, a Merlot-predominant blend supplemented by Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc.  The results exceed anything you'd expect at this price point!

We waited many months for our initial supply of the 2019 Chateau Bourdieu, with wine retailers competing to obtain as much of this special wine as possible.  Once again, on this unexpected resupply, demand far exceeds supply for this tremendous bargain.  We again grabbed as much as we could, but we'll offer the same warning as before: we will sell out, and we don't know if we'll see any more of this vintage.  Don't delay if you want to see what all the excitement is about!  Order online NOW or call 301-987-5933!

And this world-class Malbec is FINALLY BACK IN STOCK as well!

 CUEVA DE LOS MANOS ORGANIC MALBEC 2019: ONLY $16.98

"The purple-ruby color of this wine promises intensity, and the flavors deliver with notes of blackberry, blueberry, violets, wild thyme and rosemary. This exciting wine is made with organic grapes and aged in concrete, which gives the wine a little rustic texture while allowing the top-quality fruit to shine. A terrific bargain." - Dave McIntyre, 3 Stars (Exceptional)

Since we originally featured this beautiful Malbec back in March and subsequently sold out, Cueva de los Manos Malbec 2019 has been our most requested wine.  So we're thrilled to announce that we have obtained some additional (albeit very limited) supply.  This is a beautiful, high-altitude Malbec; if you had to select a single wine that reflects exactly what the world loves about the Malbec grape, this would be it!  Rated "Exceptional" by the Washington Post, at our sale price of only $16.98, this is also an exceptional value! 

This wine's name is a story in itself.  "Cueva de los Manos" translates as "Cave of the Hands".  The Cueva de los Manos is a famous cave in the Patagonian region of Argentina that contains an exceptional array of cave art, executed approximately 10,000 years ago.  It was so named because of the stencilled outlines of human hands in the cave (pictured here), but there are also many depictions of animals, as well as hunting scenes.  Unfortunately, there are no depictions of winemaking or wine drinking- the artists were indeed primitive!  

Dave McIntyre's "Exceptional" rating on this beautiful red is more than justified based on our tasting, especially given its remarkable affordability.  Cueva Malbec earns one of our highest accolades: "This wine tastes like it costs more than it does".  This wine is perfect for the season, perfect for anyone who appreciates fine Malbec, and, at our sale price of only $16.98, perfect for anyone who appreciates a great bargain!  We will run out of this again, and future supplies are uncertain, so don't delay- order today!
