Hall Sauvignon Blanc 2012 Tasting Notes

"This 2012 release possesses a brilliant pale straw color with a hint of green. Its green undertone demonstrates the freshness of this wine as it was handled extremely carefully to avoid exposure to oxygen from harvest to bottle. The wine is bursting with ultra-ripe ruby red grapefruit, passion fruit, lychee, white peach and banana aromas. The palate is bright and focused, suggesting citrus compote laced with white pepper spice. The mouth-watering finish is crisp and long, its peachy citrus notes echoing through to the next sip." - Winery Notes

Hall Cabernet 2011 Tasting Notes

"This 2011 Hall Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is brimming with aromas of cassis, black cherry and espresso. On the palate, opulent flavors of dark bing cherry, blackberry and notes of caramel lead to a velvety finish." - Winery Notes

No "Wrath" - Just a Price Reduction!

Chandon Nautical Summer















This ShopUncorked.com favorite has just experienced a price reduction!  Now this wonderful New Zealand Pinot Noir is just $16.89 per bottle (reduced from $20.78)!

Take this opportunity to stock up and remember that Pinot Noir is quite possibly the most versatile wine to pair with food.

Product Description

"The 2011 vintage was a strong La Nina summer.  For Marlborough this weather pattern brings warm temperatures with a bit more moisture than average.  Spring was warm and sunny, with excellent flowering.  Mid-summer had some scattered rain events which promoted vine health and healthy canopies.  The warmer temperatures allowed for an early harvest of excellent fruit with great balance." - Winery Notes

Marisco Vineyards "The King's Wrath" Pinot Noir 2011 Tasting Notes

"Dark spiced fruits with attractive floral notes and a subtle hint of forest floor.  Black Doris plums and dark cherries dusted with five spice supported by some savory complexity.  Mocha and coffee notes from the oak complement the dense fruit.  The tannins are fine and velvety." - Winemaker Notes

Marisco Vineyards "The King's Wrath" Pinot Noir 2011 Pairings
