2007 Baldacci Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon Stag’s Leap Napa Valley
$65.99/$59.99/$53.99
“A classic example of an elegant, restrained, gracious Stag’s Leap wine. Its dark ruby/purple color is accompanied by aromas of blue and red fruits, medium body and sweet tannin in a Bordeaux style. It should drink well 2010 through 2020.”

2009 Sanford Santa Rita Hills Pinot Noir Central Coast California
$46.99/$27.99/$25.19

$16.99/$13.99/$12.59
“100% Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) aged for eight months in French and American oak before bottling without filtration. Aromas of cedar, spice box, mineral, leather and black fruits give way to a surprisingly dense, intense and savory wine that over-delivers for its humble price. It is a great value for drinking now through 2015.” –Wine Advocate, 90 points
2011 Zolo Malbec Mendoza Argentina $12.99/$9.39/$8.45
