Falesco - Vitiano Rosso, Umbria, Italy 2018 "I cannot for the life of me think of another red wine from Italy that offers this quality at this super low price." - Monica Larner, Wine Advocate The Falesco Vitiano Rosso is a Super Tuscan Blend of equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sangiovese. Falesco focused on the expression of a young red with explosive and succulent black cherry aromas. The wine has a magnificent, intense and deep ruby red color, rich but also with a balanced freshness and acidity, this wine is versatile, innovative and immediately drinkable. This is the perfect pizza/burger/pasta wine, and very flexible for numerous food combinations. Dont let the price fool you, at $11 this succulent wine from the sunny Umbrian countryside way over delivers for the price. Newsletter Special - $10.99 Arrives Tuesday 3/22/22 Wine Advocate 89 - "This wine represents one of the best values in Italian wine, and I really can't imagine how the Cotarella family manages to get so much quality at this super competitive price. A blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese, the Falesco Famiglia Cotarella 2018 Vitiano Rosso represents an ample production of 800,000 bottles. Indeed, most of the fruit from the family's Umbrian vineyard holdings end up in this production. This informal but elegant mid-weight red offers plenty of cherry fruit, spice and balanced touches of tobacco and spice." Tyler Vineyards - Pinot Noir, Sta. Rita Hills, Santa Barbara 2020 Elegant and Honest Terroir Driven Pinot Noir of Exceptional Quality from the Masters at Tyler Vineyards Robert Parkers Wine Advocate 92 Points - "Medium ruby-purple, the 2020 Pinot Noir Sta. Rita Hills has concentrated rhubarb and blueberry preserves on the nose with wafts of cinnamon, lilac and rooibos tea leaves. The palate is delicate, chalky and fresh, with floral-laced fruits and a lifted, juicy finish. It's approachable and soft and will drink best over the next 3-5 years." Newsletter Special - $29.99
Booker Vineyards - My Favorite Neighbor Harvey and Harriet Red Blend, Paso Robles 2019 Jeb Dunnuck 94 Points - "As to the reds, the 2019 Harvey and Harriet can be thought of as the more approachable, lush red in the lineup, and it always seems more black fruit-driven than the straight Cabernet Sauvignon. Blackberries, sweet tobacco, cedar, and some floral violet nuances define the nose, and it’s medium to full-bodied, with a beautiful texture and silky tannins. It’s a smoking value, and while it has plenty of up-front charm, it certainly has a decade or more of overall longevity." Newsletter Special - $29.09
