Arrive in Style
(July 4 Release)

with a rockin’ Rioja

This Spanish beauty totally rocks. Not only did it make Wine Spectator’s Top 100 wines of 2008 (#52, since you’re asking), it was designated a ‘Smart Buy’ to boot! Offering incredible value, this tasty Tempranillo is the ultimate accessory for the barbecue with its smoky fruit flavours and fine structure. Ready to rock the party when you are…

TASTING NOTE: A silky texture carries expressive flavors of black plum, violet, licorice and smoke in this focused, balanced red. Has good intensity yet remains vibrant and accessible. Drink now through 2012. Smart Buy. Score – 90. (Thomas Matthews, www.winespectator.com, Sept. 30, 2008)

Our Benchmark
(July 4 Release)

Your reference point for
Oregon Pinot Noir

Oregon is a mecca for Pinot Noir lovers around the world. Winemaking here is not for the faint of heart: The cooling influences of the Pacific Ocean puts the Willamette Valley at the extreme edge of viticulture, but, as in Burgundy, this gamble results in wines that offer more depth, complexity and nuance. Artisanal winemakers, like Andrew Rich, dot the landscape and are crafting fascinating individual expressions of place. Our Benchmark is classic cool climate Pinot, featuring ripe red fruit, spice and earthy notes supported by crisp acids and fine tannins.

OUR BENCHMARK

ANDREW RICH CUVÉE B PINOT NOIR 2006
Willamette Valley, USA – Oregon
127043 (D) 750 mL $ 33.95

TASTING NOTE: This wine’s fresh woodland berry scent melds with spice mix, sassafras and pink pepper. Its youth doesn’t get in the way of its fineness, with ripe fruit pulled into line by fine acidity and the clean grip of fruit tannin. For roast chicken. Score – 92. (Wine & Spirits, Feb. 2009)
