Matthieu Roux Pouilly-Fuisse, Grand Vin Bourgogne, France $19.99  This wine is classic White Burgundy, the famed chardonnay grape. This vineyard is one of the most celebrated white wines of Pouilly-Fuisse, the jewel of the Maconnais. There is a lot of minerality in Pouilly-Fuisse with a clear soft finish that balances the flavor of the wine without over ripening the fruit. Look for this wine in our French Wine Section.
  Villa De Famille Reserve Malbec, Lionel Osmin Cie, Southwest France $11.99  The Cahors.  This is the home of Malbec. In France, the terroir to produce Malbec is a soil that is rich in limestone. The Causse is the plateau overlooking the Valley of Cahors. This region is full of shallow soils that are sensitive to draught and the region produces rich minerality with firm, dark black plum fruits with a core of dark tannin.  Plots are hand selected to ripen the grapes in the Cahors. The fruity flavors in this Malbec are juniper, nutmeg and cedar wood. Reserve de Famille in French means “enjoy this wine on any occasion.”  Awarded 89 points by Wine Enthusiast.

L’Uncle Charles Merlot is full of flavor and is our newest imported French Boxed Wine. The wine is zesty and full of robust flavors from the beginning of the palate to the end.

  H.D. Pillar Box Red Blend, Padthaway, Australia, 2008 $13.99  The Pillar Box is a blend of 66% Syrah, 25% Cabernet and 9% Merlot. The wine is a darkened vibrant color full of aromas of fresh blueberry, liquorices, and dried mint with cinnamon and oaked undertones.

  La Playa Late Harvest Sauvignon Blanc, Colchagua Valley, Chile, 375 ml $13.99 This is a dessert wine made from Sauvignon Blanc, one of the varietals that is used to make the great Sauternes of France. The key to this wine is a beneficial fungus called Botrytis Cinera. When the conditions are correct, Botrytis infects the grape skins late in the season. The grapes are left on the vines to rot. The grapes then shrivel as a result of their water loss. The wines produced from this process are sweet and concentrated with high sugar levels. The flavors are full of these flavors, ripe citrus, melon, honey, nutmeg and butterscotch.
  La Playa Loud River Roaring Red, 2009, Colchagua Valley, Chile $12.99  The Tinguiririca River, flows from the high Andes Mountains across Chile to the Pacific Ocean. In the spring, when the snow-capped peaks begin to melt, the placid stream becomes a Loud River. Loud River Roaring Red is full bodied blend of 40% spicy carmenere, 30% rich syrah and 30% peppery petit verdot. The wine is full of expressive cherry and berry flavors which bursts with rich, ripened plums sparked with spices, pepper and tobacco. 
  Four Sisters Merlot, Australia $12.99  This wine is produced from premium vineyard lots sourced throughout Australia. The wine is named from Trevor Matts four daughters. Deliah, his oldest daughter, designed the winery label. The flavor of the wine is full bodied with bold flavors of wild blueberry and rich currant coming through in the wine.
