Great wines, great prices



2010 Clos du Bois North Coast Chardonnay...$7.99 
Comparte to $15 at ClosduBois.com
"Following its brilliant, silver straw-yellow hue, this Chardonnay has intense primary aromas of apple blossom, ripe pear and sweet lemon drop, complemented by toasty oak, spice and cream. The wine’s silky smooth texture is overlaid with bright juicy flavors of rich, ripe apple and pear, lingering into a fresh, satisfying finish." -- winery




2010 Chateau St. Jean Chardonnay Sonoma...$7.99
Compare to $13.79 at Wine.com
"The 2010 Chardonnay is a fabulous wine for the money. There is nothing fancy here, just a beautiful wine with excellent varietal character and terrific balance. Hints of lemon, flowers and spices linger on the pointed finish. The Robert Young vineyard in Alexander Valley is at the heart of this county-wide blend. Once again, the level of quality is remarkable considering the production of a whopping 350,000 cases. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2014. This is a fabulous set of wines from Chateau St. Jean, winemaker Margo Van Staaveren and her team. From top to bottom, these wines deliver tons of value and character." -- The Wine Advocate

2010 Chateau St. Jean Fume Blanc Sonoma...$7.99
Compare to $13.79 at Wine.com
"The 2010 Fume Blanc impresses for its focus and balance. Smoke, minerals and white stone fruits linger on the long, refined finish. The wine was mostly aged in tank and the finished blend includes 9% Semillon and 1% Viognier. This is truly an incredible wine considering its modest $13 price tag [our price is $7.99] and production of 32,000 cases. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2014. This is a fabulous set of wines from Chateau St. Jean, winemaker Margo Van Staaveren and her team. From top to bottom, these wines deliver tons of value and character." -- The Wine Advocate

2009 Chateau St. Jean Cabernet Sauvignon....$7.99
"The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon reveals plenty of Sonoma County Cabernet structure. Firm tannins support an expressive core of blackberries, cassis, menthol, graphite and minerals. The 2009 needs another year or two to soften, but it is highly intriguing. The 2009 is 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Cabernet Franc, 3% Merlot and 2% Petit Verdot drawn from vineyards in Knights Valley, Alexander Valley, Sonoma Valley and Dry Creek Valley. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2021. This is a fabulous set of wines from Chateau St. Jean, winemaker Margo Van Staaveren and her team. From top to bottom, these wines deliver tons of value and character." -- The Wine Advocate
