Red Wine Hand-Picked 90 Pts ST <b>90 points Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar</b><p><FONT color=#FF0000><STRONG>Reg. Price $21.99, Our Price $15.99<br>SAVE 27%</STRONG></FONT><br><b>Tasting Notes :</b>Produced from estate grown vines, gravity drives all movements of must/wine to minimize hard tannins. The grapes are hand harvested, destemmed but not crushed, macerated for 10 days in temperature controlled tanks followed by aging in new and 1 year old, 50% French and 50% American oak barrels for 6 months. Bottled without filtration after a gentle egg-white fining. In giving Arrocal Ribera 2006 90 points Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar, had this to say :  ”Opaque ruby. Potent mulberry and blueberry aromas expand seductively, picking up baking spice and floral qualities. Suave, silky and impressively pure, with vibrant dark berry flavors saved from the brink of jamminess by bright acidity and fine-grained tannins. Impressively juicy and persistent, with excellent palate saturation and clarity

White Wine Hand-Picked 90 Pts WA <b>Tasting Notes :</b>The 2007 Sauvignon Blanc from the cool-climate Leyda Valley, a region that appears ideally suited for this grape. Made in an attractive Loire Valley style, this medium straw-colored wine exhibits a grassy, herbal, citrus and apple-scented bouquet. Light- to medium-bodied with a crisp, refreshing feel on the palate, this nicely balanced wine has good depth and a pure, vibrant finish. Drink it over the next 12 to18 months.

Red Wine Hand-Picked 91 Pts RP r <b>Tasting Notes :</b>The 2008 Shiraz offers up aromas of cigar box, damp earth, smoked meat, bacon, and blueberry. Packed with flavor on the palate, it is full-bodied, round, and altogether pleasure-bent. Drink it over the next 4-5 years. <br><br>With veteran vigneron Chris Ringland now in charge of the winemaking, I can state unequivocally that this is the finest collection of Marquis Philips wines since the label was started in 2000. Nevertheless, these wines will be controversial because all but one of the non-Roogle wines is over 16% alcohol. The small but vocal crowd of Australia bashers will have a field day taking these wines to task as they do with the Mollydooker wines (which seem to sell out anyway). Ringland is concerned about flavor and balance which is what these wines are all about. Those seeking low alcohol, subtlety, and finesse should of course look elsewhere. Those who want a big mouthful of sensual pleasure should read on. The Roogle Series is meant to be a bargain-priced introduction to the Marquis Philips upper level wines. The Marquis Philips wines are predominantly sourced from McLaren Vale while the Roogle wines are multi-regional.

Red Wine Hand-Picked 90 Pts RP r <b>Tasting Notes :</b>The 2007 Dolcetto d’Alba Munfrina is a vibrant, pure wine. It offers notable complexity in its dark fruit, spices and menthol, with tons of complexity. A long, resonating finish caps off this incredibly delicious Dolcetto. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2011. Giorgio Pelissero is based in Treiso, in the heart of the Barbaresco zone. While I have long admired his wines, it often seemed as though Pelissero wasn’t getting the most of his vineyards. That seems to have changed with this set of releases. I was simply blown away by what I tasted, and that includes the higher-end wines as well.
