TASTE THE 94 POINT RATED

PEDESTAL MERLOT

ON SATURDAY!

Long Shadows Collection
(from the Long Shadows website)
After twenty years at the helm of the Stimson Lane wine group (Chateau Ste. Michelle, Columbia Crest and other wineries), Allen Shoup retired to pursue a personal dream. For years he had envisioned a joint venture with highly acclaimed winemakers from different regions of the world. His goal was to bring their expertise to Washington to create some of the most special wines ever crafted from the region's top vineyards; wines that would stand shoulder to shoulder with the world's best.


For the first time EVER, the red wines of the Long Shadows Winery are available together, in one beautiful wooden gift box. Unlike any other gift set this season, this box features SIX highly-rated wines in one box.


In each box, you will get 1 of each of the following for only $315.00:
  • 2006 Long Shadows Pirouette                      93 Points Wine Enthusiast                          54%Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 15% Petite Verdot, 6% Cabernet Franc, 5% Syrah         "Concentrated and focused, it is expressive right out of the bottle, supple and clearly defined. Floral, darkly fruited, bursting with black cherry and cassis, detailed with licorice and stone, this excellent wine will be difficult to put away for aging, but well worth the effort."
  • 2005 Long Shadows Chester-Kidder            93 Points Wine Advocate                                               55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Syrah, 5% Merlot "Opaque purple-colored, it reveals an alluring nose of brooding black fruit, pencil lead, mineral, and spice box. Round and ripe on the palate, it borders on opulence while concealing enough tannin to support another 6-8 years of cellaring. The sweet, savory fruit carries through into the lengthy finish."
  • 2007 Long Shadows Saggi                             91 Points Wine Advocate                                       43% Sangiovese, 36% Cabernet Sauvignon, 21% Syrah                                                                                                             "... It was aged for 18 months in 55% new French oak.  Deep purple colored, it displays an expressive perfume of cedar, Asian spices, black cherry, and cassis.  Supple and round on the palate, this savory offering has excellent volume, plenty of concentration, and enough structure to evolve for 1-2 years.  It will drink nicely for the next 8-10 years."
  • 2006 Sequel Syrah                                         93 Points Wine Advocate                                       96% Syrah 4% Cabernet Sauvignon                         "Aromas of cedar, smoke, game, bacon, and violets are alluring while leading to a round, layered, smooth-textured, full-bodied wine with several years of aging potential."
  • 2006 Feather Cabernet Sauvignon               93 Points Wine Advocate                                     100% Cabernet Sauvignon                                                       "The wine was sourced from several prime vineyards and aged for 22 months in new French oak. The nose gives up aromas of toasty oak, scorched earth, Asian spices, black currant, and blackberry. Firm and structured yet elegant on the palate, there are layers of fruit and enough tannin to evolve for another 4-6 years."
  • 2006 Pedestal Merlot                                      94 Points Wine Advocate                                                75% Merlot, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot                                                       "... reveals a fragrant nose of sandalwood, incense, sage, cinnamon, black cherry, and black currant.  Elegant on the palate despite its ample size, it is loaded with succulent fruit set off by enough ripe tannin to support an additional 3-4 years of cellaring.  It will deliver prime drinking from 2013 to 2027."
Again - only $315 for all 6!
Save when you buy the gift set!

DECEMBER PICKS OF THE MONTH

We taste over 2,200 wines a year.
Every once in a while - we taste a wine we like!
Each month, several of us tell you about our current favorite.
Great idea, eh?

Gary's Pick: Hedges CMS Red $13.99

Tim's Pick: Borsao Tres Picos $16.99
 
Hannah's Pick: Laetitia Brut Rose $27.99

Kaitlyn's Pick: Edge Cab. Sauv. $21.99

Adam's Pick: Glenlivet Nadurra 18yr "Triumph" $79.99


WHAT'S TIM DRINKING?
Herbal Tea, alright? I'm drinking herbal tea. No bourbon, in it... just tea. Sure it's lame, but this will be our busiest weekend of the year and all of us at Lukas want to make sure we can be part of the excitement. All the Lukas employees have plans to unwind shortly after the New Year begins, but right now, we're just trying to make it there!


Won't you join us this weekend? We'll have delicious wine open if you still haven't decided what to serve with Christmas or if you still have a few names left on your gift list. Of course, our hard-working sales representatives will be on hand to help - please reward their hard work this year by buying their products. Not sure what they sell? Ask. Every one of the sales reps in the store this weekend has given us at least 12 of the 52 Saturdays in the past year. One Saturday a month every month, they've foregone laundry, gardening, day-drinking (well... excessive day-drinking)... you know - all those wonderful activities normally reserved for the weekends. That's 23% of their Saturdays - and they do it all so that Lukas can continue to be the best place to buy wine, beer and spirits in St. Louis. We'll see you this weekend - and we wish you all a safe, blessed and Merry Christmas.

Cheers!
