Two New Blowout Wines

CUNE is one of the oldest wineries in Rioja, still family owned and operated by it’s now FIFTH Generation! CUNE was one the FIRST bodegas to bottle and export their wines into the US Market. We are super happy to have gotten our hands on their fantastic entry level Riojas!

2009 Cune Rioja Crianza $9.99 ($13.99)
89 points Wine Advocate (WA)

The 2009 Crianza in a blend of 80% Tempranillo and 20% Garnacha and Mazuelo aged for 12 months in used barrels plus six months in bottle. It has a ripe bouquet of fresh strawberry and red cherries that is competently enmeshed with the oak. The palate is fresh and lively with taut tannins. There are notes of dark cherry, licorice and a touch of mocha with a finely-tuned, delineated finish. There is a pleasing brightness to this Crianza that is approachable now and should age with style. Drink now-2019.

2011 Cune Blanco Rioja $9.99 ($13.99)

(100% viura): Bright straw. Highly aromatic bouquet evokes ripe pear, peach, melon and white flowers. Round and chewy, with deep honeydew and pit fruit flavors that expand with air. Shows good energy on the finish, picking up a bright citrus quality that adds delineation and cut.
 

Both are $9.99 (13.99) 10% Discount on a case, mix or match

2010 Dominus Presale

Rated 96+ points by Wine Advocate

“The sweetest and most succulent black cherries, plums, violets, graphite, cinnamon and cloves come to life in the 2010 Dominus, a wine that stands out for its superb precision and balance. There is a purity and sheer sweetness in the fruit that is completely striking. As with the Napanook, today the 2010 lacks some of the depth of the 2009. It will be fun to see how the wine develops in bottle. The 2010 Dominus is a model of class and elegance. I find it utterly compelling. The blend is 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. Anticipated maturity: 2020-2035” WA December 2012

$188.99 ($202.99)

2010 Seghesio Zinfandel Dry Creek Valley Cortina

Only 12 bottles available

Rated 94 points by Wine Spectator

“Dark and intense, yet well-polished, with floral blackberry and pepper aromas and concentrated black cherry, bitter chocolate and black olive flavors that finish with muscular but ripe tannins. Needs time. Best from 2015 through 2022. 2,200 cases made.”

$36.99 per bottle
 

******************************************

2007 Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino Riserva

Rated 96 points by Wine Spectator

Only 20 bottles available

“There's a delicacy to this version, showing a latent structure and a distinctive spiciness surrounding the core flavors of cherry, raspberry, licorice and mineral. Harmonious and persistent, featuring a long finish. A compelling Brunello riserva. Best from 2015 through 2032”. 150 cases imported. –BS

$77.99 ($86.99)
