Red Wine Hand-Picked 90 Pts RP r <FONT color=red><STRONG>90 pts Parker</STRONG></FONT><BR><FONT color=blue><STRONG>One Of The Greatest Big Red Wine Values<BR>In One Of Spain’s Greatest Vintages </STRONG></FONT><BR>The first rime I tasted Prima, I was blown away. It was the end of December 2004 and I was beat. We had just finished up a busy holiday season and I was cooked. One of my favorite Spanish importers Aurelio Cabastrero called saying that he had to see me. He had this incredible wine and I had to try it. With apprehension I said yes but I was not into it. He came by that afternoon and he had a Winemaker with him and his two sons. The wine was from a region called Toro in Spain and the we tasted was Prima. The wine absolutely floored me. I taste a lot of wine and once in a while you taste a wine that you instantly know is an absolute winner. Prima was that kind of wine. I could hardly hide my pleasure with the wine. We had to negotiate a price. I can now tell you that the Winemaker I met that day was the great Mariano Garcia. Mr Garcia is one of the greatest Winemakers of our time. He had made 28 vintages of Spain’s First Growth Vega Sicilia, Spain’s most famous red wine. Mr Garcia had decided to leave Vega Sicilia to make wine with his two sons in Toro and this was there first offering. We have since learned that the region of Toro is making some of the greatest red wine we have seen in the last five to six years. Robert Parker was recently asked which is the next great red wine region in the world and unequivocally stated that it is Toro. Now back to 2004! I had a chance to buy this wine and I blew it. I told Aurelio I would follow up with him the next day and when I did it was gone. Another house, I will not mention names picked up the whole allocation and I was pissed and I have never forgotten. Prima is one of those insane red wines at the price that when I have it available I always recommend that customers pick them up. Since its release Parker has never given the wine less than 90 pts which brings me to the vintage. The 2009 vintage for Spain is spectacular, the best we have seen since 2004 and 2001. The wines are rich, endowed with superb fruit, drinking gorgeously young but will also age out brilliantly. The 2009 Prima is a definite buy in this great vintage. When you pop a bottle, you will see why. Save big on a case. <BR><BR><B>Tasting Notes:</B> Sleek and racy. The purple-colored 2009 Prima is made up of 90% Tinta de Toro and 10% Garnacha aged for 12 months in seasoned French oak prior to bottling without filtration. Earthy minerals, espresso, truffle, licorice, and blackberry aromas lead to a ripe, dense, sweetly-fruited, layered wine. Give it 1-2 years to fill out and drink it through 2021. The grapes for Prima are sourced from vines aged 25 years from the villages of San Roman de Hornija, Villaster and Morales. The grapes are harvested by hand with a selection of grapes in the vineyard. The wine is fermented in temperature controlled, conical, stainless steel tanks which allow for caps to naturally be broken very softly during pump overs. The wine was aged for 12 months in second and third fill French and American oak barrels.

Red Wine Hand-Picked 91 Pts Wine Spectator <B>Tasting Notes:</B> Sun-dried black cherry and blackberry coulis mix with mulling spices, tobacco and sandalwood notes in this lightly chewy red, which show good focus and length, with a spicy, mouthwatering finish. Drink now through 2020. 250 cases imported. –AN Color ruby to strong red, sometimes with orange nuances due to maturation. Bouquet very clean, of undergrowth, sour black cherries and plum jam, spicy slight pepper. Body robust, complex, it reminds you of its scents, well-balanced, slightly tannic. 91 pts Wine Spectator

Red Wine Hand-Picked 94 Pts Wine Spectator <FONT color=red><STRONG>94 pts Wine Spectator</STRONG></FONT><BR><FONT color=blue><STRONG>A Spectacular Red For The Money<BR>Ranked 26 On Wine Spectator Top 100</STRONG></FONT><BR>The wine from Spain’s Ribera del Duero are some of the greatest big red wines being made today. Icons like Vega Sicilia come from this region and some of the most exciting wines like Aalto have made Ribera one of the go to places when looking for Big Reds. The best from the region are Pricey and they should be but once in a while we get a stunner, a wine that rivals the quality of the best at a fraction of the price. I have tasted all the greats from Ribera and the 2005 Bodegas Resalte de Penafiel Crianza rivals the absolute best. The wine got a monster score of 94 pts by Wine Spectator. Other wines that got this score are selling at $50 to $100 a bottle. We can offer you the wine at $29.99 and I can not stress it enough that this is a remarkaeble wine at this price. Perfect for the fall, drinking to perfection and oh so delicious. Reslate like many of this regions Wineries was founded pretty recently in 2000 and the Wineries goal was to make the finest red wine coming out of the competitive region. No expense was spared and only the very latest technology is utilized to make the absolute finest wines possible. The wine is 100% Tempranillo, aged for 15 months in predominately French oak. This wine was the Top Spanish in the Wine Spectator for 2010. If you love Napa Cabs, Brunello and Bordeaux, this wine will blow you away at the price in fact at any price.<BR><BR><B>Tasting Notes:</B> Vivid cherry-red color, high robe, clean and bright. • The nose is complex, intense fruit aromas of ripe red and blackberries but without losing freshness. • The palate shows good acidity, smooth yet powerful, meaty and balanced, fruit aromas are well balanced with wood, candied fruit aromas appear in aftertaste, licorice and roasted coffee makes the finish very long and persistent.
