Pinyolet Garnacha 2011
Aged completely in stainless steel on its lees. Basically a baby Priorato, it reveals rich strawberry and raspberry fruit intermixed with notes of licorice, crushed rock and earth, all offered in a medium to full-bodied, heady style. The price is a steal and the quality of the wine is impressive. Enjoy it over the next 4-6 years or longer.

Niel Santofimia Almansa 2011
This would be a remarkable value at twice this price. Black and blue fruits on the highly fragrant, smoke-accented nose. Juicy, penetrating blueberry and cherry flavors display very good clarity and pick up ripeness and spiciness with air. Fine-grained tannins give shape and grip to the long, spicy finish. A Garnacha, Merlot blend.

Filon Real Calatayud 2011
(100% garnacha, from vines that are reportedly over 50 years old and planted at 2,300 feet): Saturated ruby. Powerful scents of fresh dark berries, cola, flowers and smoky minerals. Broad and chewy, with sweet dark fruit and candied floral flavors and an intense spicy overtone. Dusty tannins add grip to the long, sappy finish, which features notes of bitter chocolate and licorice.

The wines of Chile certainly have a little something for everyone. Whether you are looking for an adventure in taste or simply a solid value, Chile has it all. Chilean wine has been gaining notice here since the late 1980s, but Chilean wineries have been in existence for more than 500 years! Our buyer has searched the country from top to bottom and visited many Chilean wineries. With the spring creeping up on us, we decided to bring some new selections to the table and here are a few shining examples below.
Vaya Vadiso Chardonnay 2012
This Chardonnay boasts aromas of slightly sweet tropical fruits with undertones of smooth vanilla and gentle spice. Well-balanced flavors of bright citrus and crisp pear result in a gentle finish. Enjoy with some flounder, shell fish, or a nice green salad.

Vaya Vadiso Merlot 2012
This Merlot dances with aromas of bramble berry, dried violet and sweet spice. Rich and inviting flavors of concentrated black fruits, juicy plum and dark cherry are balanced by a firm structure and a finish that lasts past the setting sun.
Spring News from Portugal Boas Vinhas Branco 2011
This white Dao has intense flavors of green apple and grapefruit. Fresh and crisp with a nice roundness in the mouth and touch of mineral. The finish is crisp and clean with well balanced acidity. Goes well as a starter, seafood, fish and cold dishes.

Luis Pato Vinhas Velhas 2010
The 2010 Vinhas Velhas red is a big uptick in depth and power over its elegant sibling, the Vinha Barrosa. Intense, crisp and quite stunning this year, it is gripping on the finish, silky and impressive. Its structure and acidity should give it a long life ahead, but it has the depth to support those structural items as well. I wouldn’t be surprised if this closes down hard for a couple of years in the near future. Drink 2014-2030.

Tabali Viognier 2012
This aromatic and subtle Viognier presents aromas of citrus and floral notes. On the palate gentle floral, honeyed and citrus flavors mingle with a soft rounded texture and great purity. This is an amazing wine at a sensible price. Try it tonight with some chilled shellfish or on its own as an apéritif.

Tabali Reserva Pinot Noir 2010
Aromas of strawberries, black cherries and hints of violets start off this juicy Chilean Pinot Noir. On the palate it is dry, with medium body dominated by red fruits and a smooth tannin structure complete with a long finish. It is balanced, interesting and a great wine to share with friends in the afternoon sunshine.
