Also, we made a special purchase of the following wines and want to pass the savings along to you.  All these wines have been big hits at Imbibe. They all over-deliver.

Wily Jack Chardonnay Reg $9.99 Sale $7.99

 
This is a pleasing and unpretentious wine showing fresh tropical and citrus notes joined by fragrant notes of apple and baking spices. The supple palate is laden with flavors of pineapple and bright lemon zest. The warm-climate ripe fruit marries nicely with the bright acidity from cooler regions, resulting in a wine with medium acidity that can be enjoyed on its own or paired with an array of foods.

Wily Jack Cabernet Sauvignon Reg $9.99 Sale $7.99

 
The main characteristic of Wily Jack Cabernet is its bold yet approachable style. The Red Hills region of Lake County offers aromas and flavors of blackberry, while the Hames Valley in Monterey County contributes ripe plum and dark cherry. The concentrated fruit flavors are accented by sweet vanilla and toffee from the oak aging and hold up to the well-structured tannins.

Razor's Edge Shiraz Reg $10.99 Sale $9.99

The Razor's Edge Shiraz is dark purple in color, yet bright and appealing in its clarity of fruit flavors, persisting on the finish against firm tannins. First released with the 2004 vintage, the Razor's Edge Shiraz led Wine Spectator's Harvey Steimen to say "...in that under $12 category I find I prefer what the independent guys are doing with Shiraz, such as... Razor's Edge."
