Great New Wines

by Admin 6/29/2008 5:46:00 PM

Another week in the life of a wine buyer tasting upwards of 30 new wines a week.
I will mention a few that have “grabbed” my attention. Paso Robles continues to put great wines and two from Sextant Winery particularly, 2006 Nightwatch which is a blend of Zinfandel and Petite Sirah. The winemaker left the bottle for me to sample our customers and they all said “I’ll buy it”! Another wine that is great is the new Layer Cake Primativo. This wine is from Italy and it tastes much like a big, rich Paso Zinfandel. The sample was passed around to good reviews.. Look for these wines in the coming weeks.

Our Picks

  1. 2006 Marin Codax Albarino
    Alberino is a white grape that is rapidly growing in popularity. It is a food friendly wine showcasing a pale yellowish color with touches of tropical fruits.  It is an very aromatic wine that is complex with very crisp clean finish.

    ACU’s rating 89pts

  2. 2005 Pariso Chardonnay

    I love this Chardonnay’s from Monterey County.  This wine is very rich with tropical fruits allied to a creamy mouth feel, toasty oak and vanilla nuances-all balanced by refreshing acidity.  Excellent with richly-sauced poultry and seafood dishes.

    ACU’s rating 90pts

  3. 2005 Qupe Syrah

    Winery owner Robert Lindquist has been making wonderful Syrah for many years and this is another example.  Robert’s goal is to make wines with impeccable balance that can be enjoyed in their youth.  The rich fruit and soft tannins combined with good acidity allow it to age beautifully for 3 to 5 yrs.

    ACU’s rating 90pts

  4. 2006 Castle Rock Pinot Noir

    Sonoma, California

    Castle Rock sourced another great Pinot Noir, this time from Sonoma.  This is a well made, medium bodied Pinot that is a good choice for an everyday sip.
