Spring $1.00 SALE, this week is:
Schramsberg, Mirabelle Brut Rose Sparkling for Easter, 93 pts., Wine Spectator. Our price  is $24.00 and Get the Second Bottle for $1.00:
The Mirabelle Brut Rosé is a specially crafted blend of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from Schramsberg's select cool-climate vineyards in Carneros, Anderson Valley, and the Sonoma and Marin coastal areas of Northern California. Pinot Noir lots, including a few fermented with skin contact, provide brightness of berry fruit and body, while Chardonnay lots lend length and zest to the palate. Additional flavor depth and aromatic complexity results from the blending of base wine lots aged in barrels and tanks for one or more years. The finished Brut Rosé exhibits fresh, elegant and toasty aromas that lead into lively and delicious fruit flavors on the palate.
2007 Pride Mountain Vineyards, Syrah,
Sonoma  County, 92 pts., Wine Spectator. Our price is $69.00 and Get the Second Bottle for $1.00:
The 2007 Syrah opens with enticing brambly and spicy aromas, subtle floral notes and a hint of meatiness. In the mouth, a blue fruit character emerges ranging from blueberry syrup to candied cherries, while subtle hints of salt water taffy and caramel add dimension. The texture is silky and soft, with tannins that are present but fully integrated. With its brambly and spicy notes, it would pair beautifully with wild game, aged cheeses, or the wild mushrooms of springtime.

This Week's Village Wine Cellar Features
-
2010 Caymus Conundrum, Red Table Wine, California; $23.00: Even better than the 2009 vintage, the Conundrum Red Blend is a great segway for white wine drinkers into red wine. Less of the sweetness and more of a Rhone characteristic, and still attractive to first time red wine imbibing.
-
2011 Tablas Creek, Patelin de Tablas, Rouge, Paso Robles; $24.00: The 2011 Patelin de Tablas marries the spice, mineral and structure of Syrah with the generous fruit of Grenache, the backbone of Mourvedre and the brightness of Counoise. Drink it now or over the next decade.
-
2009 Treana, Proprietary Red, Paso Robles, 91 pts., Tanzer; Was $45.00, Now $39.00: Displays up-front aromas of ripe, dark fruit and exotic spice. Depth and power come from the Cabernet, while a Syrah component lends inviting fleshiness. The wine's full mouthfeel leads to a silky, lasting finish.
-
2009 Charles Smith, King Coal, Proprietary Red, Washington, 95 pts., Wine Enthusiast; $99.00: This fantastic co-ferment leads with cabernet all the way. In an instant you recognize Stoneridge Vineyard in this wine. With its savory herb and pipe tobacco aromas, to the currants, lavender, and black olive, it comes together so harmonious and regal it can only be related to the Royal City.
- 2009 Freemark Abbey, Cabernet Sauvignon, Bosch', Napa Valley, 95 pts., Wine Enthusiast; $85.00: This Cabernet is opaque with a dark ruby-garnet color, complimentary to the rich dark aroma and flavor. The aromas of black currant, black cherry, berry and Santa Rosa plum are intertwined with the spicy sweetness of oak, cedar, cinnamon, clove and toast. The entry is soft, with dark cherry/berry flavors that develop from start to finish. With great texture and mouth feel, this Cabernet is full bodied, rich and opulent.
-
2008 Antica, Cabernet Sauvignon, Townsend Vineyard, Napa Valley, 94 pts., Wine Enthusiast; $90.00: The Antica Napa Valley 2009 Townsend Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon offers a weave of ripe plum, blackberry, and currant joined together by mocha, espresso, and mineral notes. This is a full-bodied wine with a savory, long and graceful finish.
-
2008 Ramey, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa Valley, 1.5 Litre, 95 pts., Parker; $149.00:"The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon impresses for its layers of dark, plush fruit. Hints of cassis, grilled herbs, tobacco and cedar develop in the glass, adding further complexity and depth. Firm tannins frame the long finish. This is a very classic and beautiful Cabernet. In 2008 the blend is 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, sourced from a number of sites, including Somerston, DeSantis, Lamoreaux and Snowden."
- 2009 Blackbird, Proprietary Red, Contrarian, Napa Valley, 93 pts., Wine Enthusiast; $125.00: The 2009 Contrarian opens with expressive scents of toffee, dark chocolate, blackberry, and smooth vanilla. On the palate, flavors of black fruit complement layers of intricately structured fine-grained tannins that hold great density and weight. The finish is polished, supple, and harmoniously precise. This wine is delicious now and will also age well over time. Blackbird's 2009 vintage wines showcase grapes farmed with an ideal hang time, offering wines with bright flavors, balanced sugars, and acidity.
- 2009 Opus One, Napa Valley, 93 pts., Tanzer; $225.00: "(a blend of 81% cabernet sauvignon, 9% cabernet franc, 5% petit verdot, 4% merlot and 1% malbec): Full medium ruby. Wild, flamboyantly expressive aromas of black raspberry, crystallized blackberry, smoke, leather, licorice, bitter chocolate and cedar, lifted by violet and spices. Smooth, mouthfilling and decidedly dry, with a lightly dusty character to its flavors of dark fruits, minerals and game. The broad, very long finish features building tannins. Quite different in style from the higher-pitched 2008, which was tighter and more floral at the same stage of its evolution."
- 2009 Harlan Estate, Proprietary Red, Napa Valley, 97 pts., Parker; $850.00: "The 2009 Proprietary Blend Harlan Estate is just as impressive from bottle as it was from barrel. Cloves, dark plums, cherries, smoke and graphite add richness and resonance to this powerful, incisive wine. Juicy and exuberant, the 2009 has always had a certain raciness that is impossible to resist. Layers of fruit continue to build to the enveloping, sensual finish. Readers will have a hard time keeping their hands off this hugely delicious wine. Anticipated maturity: 2019-2034."

 Village Wine Cellar - Where we keep our entire store at a constant 64 degrees
From Parker's Wine Buyers Guide No 7 by Robert M. Parker, Jr. is this quote from the introduction, How to Store Wine, page 9:
"If you can somehow get the temperature down to 65 degrees Farenheight or below, you will never have to worry about the condition of your wines."
Here at the Village Wine Cellar we proudly keep we proudly keep our ENTIRE store a constant "64 degrees temperature controlled," 365 days a year, hence Village Wine Cellar. This separates our store from all others as temperature is vital to the keeping wine from being spoiled. Proper storage is crucial to keeping the wine's integrity and quality from being compromised. As you are aware, all too often, someone has purchased a bottle of wine elsewhere only to find that their purchase is ruined due to the store temperature was too warm. This will never happen at Village Wine Cellar. |
