Something fun for you this month!

Our Mixed Case this month will consist of a "potpourri" of selections (about 20) that you can choose from, "mix-and-match" style.
(Or... we will choose for you.)
These are all wines we like, wines we have sold, a few from past mixed cases. All of them are good values.
Have some fun and "pick your own mixed case"!

A FEW "GEMS" ON CLOSEOUT
Too much inventory. Our loss = your gain.
2009 LUCIEN BARROT CHATEAUNEUF-DU-PAPE
80% Grenache with the remainder consisting of Syrah, Mourvedre and a touch of Clairette rose. All the varietals are fermented together whole cluster in cement (unlined) with indigenous yeasts. then aged in large foudre.
"The ripe core of anise, plum and blackberry is tightly framed for now by sleek graphite and black tea notes. A flash of shiso leaf cuts in on the finish, which is long and graceful, despite its density. Rock-solid. Best from 2012 through 2022. 3,000 cases made."

Wine Spectator
REG $36 Sale $19.99
lots of critical acclaim:
"Deep ruby. Red and dark berry aromas are complemented by Asian spices and floral oils. Energetic but deep in raspberry and blackberry flavor. Shows a refreshingly spicy quality on the finish, which clings with very good authority and length."
91 Points International Wine Cellar
"Ripe and fleshy, delivering a lovely velvety feel to the crushed plum, braised fig and steeped red and black currant fruit notes, all backed by roasted mesquite and tobacco flavors. This is broad, but well-defined, too. Rock-solid. Drink now through 2015. 700 cases imported."
90 Points Wine Spectator
"The most forward and drinkable of these offerings is the 2009 Vacqueyras Cuvee Classique, which is a blend of 60% Grenache, 25% Syrah and 15% Mourvedre primarily aged in cement tanks. This gorgeous effort reveals abundant notes of tapenade, black cherries, soy, new saddle leather, blackberries and earth. This seductive, round, generous, pure, velvety-textured 2009 should drink well for 7-8 years.

2010 J.L. CHAVE "MON COEUR"
On Sale for $17.99
Southern Rhone holdings from the famed J.L Chave.
Deep, saturated purple. Prototypical whiff of violets-very inviting. Dense but medium weight, green olives and black fruit, terrific acidity and some real tannic grip as it gets some air. Exceptionally pure, ageworthy Syrah-based wine at a value price point deal.
2009 LEON BARRAL "JADIS"
95 points, Jeb Dunnuck, The Rhone Report (Issue # 12 - Jun 2012)
Deep in the heart of the Languedoc, in the Faugères appellation just outside the hamlet of Lenthéric, Domaine Léon Barral is a beacon of revolutionary winegrowing. Didier farms thirty hectares of vineyards, and this is no small feat. Incorporating biodynamic practices into a vineyard means working the soil rigorously, and with so much land to farm, it is fortunate that he has so much help. His workers of choice? A team of twenty cows, horses, and pigs that graze the cover crops in and around the vineyards. The simple act of grazing cultivates healthy microbiotic activity in the soil, bringing mushrooms, ants, ladybugs, earthworms, and other essential life forms, which add important nutrients while aerating the soil. This is the concept of sustainability at its finest, where the ecosystem creates interdependence between the animals and the vineyards.
