Banfi "Rosa Regale" [Sparkling Brachetto] Brachetto d’Acqui D.O.C.G. 2008 (Brachetto d’Acqui, Piedmont, Italy)
Retail Price: $25.00
Artisan Wine Depot Price: $17.99
You Save $7.01

Rosa Regale has a delicate bouquet of rose petals and offers sensuous flavors of fresh raspberries and strawberries. Its effervescence is softer than that of champagne, yet it yields a persistent and delicate pink froth.  Its lively garnet color makes other sparklers pale in comparison.  Served chilled and with a low alcohol content, it serves as the perfect partner throughout the entire meal, beginning as an elegant aperitif, moving to a savory appetizer and ending with a sweet dessert. No wine pairs better with chocolate than Rosa Regale.  The bright fresh berry flavors complement the sweet velvet of the chocolate.  Rosa Regale is a seductive red sparkler that turns any occasion into a celebration.
Maloy O'Neill Lagrein 2005 (Paso Robles, California)
Retail Price: $36.00
Artisan Wine Depot Price: $24.99
You Save $11.01

A rare grape from Northern Italy, Lagrein is only produced by a couple of operations on the Central Coast. Lagrein produces wine which has high acidity and low pH, and is also highly tannic, which is why blending with less tannic varietals works so well. As a single varietal wine, Lagrein can be extremely astringent. To manage this, winemakers give the wine long periods of barrel maturation (>18 months) or for younger fresher wines, pre-fine the juice to remove tannins before fermentation. Lagrein produces a very deep yet intense red color in wine, with notable hues of purple which can be seen especially in the macerated juice. The variety typically shows a rich berry-fruit mid palate, savoury tobacco/leather/mushroom notes and some sour cherry astringency on the finish.

Figueirasse Gris de Gris Rose 2009 (France)
Retail Price: $15.00
Artisan Wine Depot Price: $10.99
You Save $4.01

Made for summer and fresh seafood. A pale pink sunrise in the glass,
this rosé reminds of framboise, ripe blood peaches, fresh buttery pie
crust and cherry juice in its aromas. Very expressive! The mouth is a
wave of fresh flowers and pink fruits, with suggestions of rose water
and white pepper. Figueirasse makes its home near the Camargue delta
along the southern French coast, and its terroir is almost exclusively
sand. These unique soils give the wine both a bit of texture in the
mouth as well as a sea-kissed, mineral freshness. Orange zest and more
white pepper offer a lively kick to the finish. A very unique blend of
30% Cincault, 20% Grenache Gris, 40% Grenache Noir and 10% Grenache
Blanc.

It is a rule that where you find volcanoes in Italy, you will too find Aglianico. This full-bodied, powerfully flavored and complex grape prefers the rich volcanic soils of Campania and Basilicata. Intense, persistent yet perfectly balanced; flavors of blackberries, cherries and the unmistakable note of ash show in this juicy wine. An incredible value for such exacting quality.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate - 90 Points:
"The 2007 Seguret Tradition has a glorious nose of garrigue, pepper, lavender, and spices. Its dense purple, concentrated color is followed by medium body, admirable elegance and purity, and a round, generous, even opulent finish. This is a beauty to drink over the next 3-4 years. This excellent estate, which was purchased in 1998 by the McKinlay family and encompasses over 60 acres of relatively old vines, has proven over a short period of time to be one of the stars among all the Cotes du Rhone-Villages estates." -Robert Parker (10/2009)

"The 2007 Zinfandel Mendocino is a super-generic cuvee boasting a deep ruby hue as well as a stunning nose of sweet, briery black cherries, black currants, spice, and an underlying floral character. Abundant flavor, medium to full body, impressive purity, and fine elegance suggest this delicious Zinfandel should drink well for 2-3 years. "
