Here at the Bacchus Wine Cellar we pride ourselves on providing our clients with great wines that they can afford to drink every day. Every week we make sure that there are several red wines and several white wines in our cellar everyday for you to bring home for less than $10.00! This week we have a variety of wines for you to choose from, just peek inside and you’ll find:
TIERRA SERENA TEMPRANILLO La Mancha, Spain 2001 for just $13.99 - Featured on a few occasions in our newsletter, this wine makes a popular return based on multiple requests for, 1. A wine with some generous age on it and 2. A soft, lightly tannic food wine that will go with almost anything. Well, here it is! This really is one of the best values found in the old world with its rust and ruby colored body, aromas of plum and vanilla and a palate of dark berries and exotic black fruits. Rich and nuanced but filled with finesse, try this with a range of mild to medium cheeses and Latin influenced dishes.
MERCEDES EGUREUN CABERNET 2006 for just $12.99 - Spain brings us a well constructed and easily drinkable Cabernet that has all of the qualities of a top-shelf Cabernet: deep red and purple hues, plenty of vanilla and berry character on the nose and a full length production on the palate of fruit and juice. There is a long finish of soft fruits with a velvety texture that makes it easily drinkable. This is the strongest of our summer red preview and is a great fit for anyone looking to have the Cabernet they like to enjoy from Napa, but want a softer take on the new world style.
DOMAINE MONTMARIN Les Olivieres 2008 for just $11.99 - We’ve found yet another gem in the market. A much lesser known, small producer from the Languedoc, this rosé is bright and fresh with a crisp acidity and fruit-focused finish. The mouth feel is soft and gentle with plenty of aromas on the nose that recall a trip to the Mediterranean coast and the great minerals of the sea. The coastal influence makes this a great rosé to pair with grilled fish and smoked or cured seafood dishes.
Haut Marin, Cuvee Marine 2008 for just $11.99 - 60% Colombard, 20% Ugni Blanc and 20% Gros Manseng – unless you, too, work in a wine shop, you’ve probably never heard of these grapes. Lesser known and from the southwest of France, quite near to the Pyrenees, this is a crisp, light and refreshing white that we’ve been waiting MONTHS to come back into stock. Once it came into stock, we bought darn near all of it! It’s that good, especially for the price. Food friendly and offering a floral bouquet filled with apricots and lightly candied fruits. It’s a grand pairing to foies gras and other foods high in fat concentration. With its proximity so close to the ocean, the mineral content is fully present without forsaking itself in the name of aggressive fruit.
