2005 Sofia Rose Carneros Pinot Noir Rating: 88+ points Year: 2005 Appellations: Carneros Blend: 100% Pinot Noir Alcohol: 11.5% by volume Residual Sugar: Dry 750 ml. $14.99
The 2005 Sofia rose is a refreshing, dry wine with a lovely pink hue and perfume that alternates between sun-warmed rose petals and just picked strawberries. Black Cherry, Raspberry and Strawberry flavors share the palate with a vibrant acidity.
Nicolas Feuillatte Brut Rose Champagne NV Review by Wine Spectator Dec. 15th, 2000 Issue Score: 88 Region: Champagne Country: France 750 ml $39.99
The aroma hints at cut apple, while the flavors lean toward cherry and bread dough, with a hint of autumn leaves. Fresh and focused. A solid rose. Drink now through 2012. Only 3,700 cases made.
Georges Duboeuf St.-Armour Flower label 2005 Review by Wine Spectator Oct. 31, 2006 Issue Score: 88 Region: Beaujolais Country: France 750 ml $13.99
Nice richness, with red plum and black cherry fruit layered with mineral and floral hints. Pure, racy finish. Drink now. Only 3,400 cases made.
2005 Layer Cake Shiraz (Barossa Valley) Review by Wine Enthusiast Score: 90 points 750 ml $14.99
Layer Cake refers to the soils of his Barossa Vineyard, but it could equally apply to the richness and density of the wine. It’s creamy in texture, and filled with blueberries, spice and everything nice.
2004 Paraiso Pinot Noir Review by Robert Parker Wine Advocate #167 (Oct. 2006) Rating: 90 points South Australia 750 ml $22.99 For more information, visit www.paraisovineyards.com
Paraiso’s flagship varietal. Wonderful Burgundian character: rich cherry and plum flavors with hints of spice, smoke, and toasty oak. All wrapped by structuring tannins and acidity. Amazingly food-versatile: salmon, roast chicken, beef tenderloin.
