wines for monday

4 distributors today with wine or reps to taste and Tito Vodka..tip for the day never hug someone until you are 100% sure they are a long lost friend you havent seen for 10 years

Lapostolle/Sancerre with Ginevra Altomara

Sancerre Cuvee de Connetable 2004 the age showed on this..softer palate..light flint and mineral..a little ml but a soft sancerre is like a pig with makeup why bother??

Casa Lapostolle Sauv Blanc Chile 2o07 refreshing style..not the grapefruit bomb that kiwi wines can be.. grassy

Lapostolle Chardonnay Cuvee Alexander 2006 rich ml flavor..not quite showing the fruit on the nose but the volume of the wine shows tons of character.

Casa Lapostolle Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 dark color and fruit..great value for the wine quality..soft tannins.

Lapostolle Syrah Cuvee Alexander 2005... the winner of the bunch.. a sweet lacquery aromas of red fruit..bacon fat and iodine that translates well on the tongue...rich and a finger stainer for sure

Clos Apalta 2004 made with majority of carmenere the grape of chile...the lost grape of bordeaux dark brooding in the glass and some grip on the front palate.. a rustic style that can benefit from aging. but always gets great parker and spectator ratings.. we have the 05 version in stock.
