Exciting Malbec Exclusive

NEW Argentine Malbec – JUST $10 a Bottle A richly fruited arrival that’s bound to become a favorite Argentine Malbec has quickly become one of America’s favorite reds. But at the $10 mark, it can be hard to find one that really shines. Lucky for you, we’ve knocked on cellar doors across Mendoza, and finally found this estate.

“An incredible discovery for me.”

– Robert Parker on Bodega Chakana

And, as you can see, we’re not the only ones. When Parker tasted their $25 estate red, he said: “If this were a Napa Valley or Bordeaux red, it would undoubtedly be priced between $150-$200.” Today, you can enjoy a NEW Malbec that they painstakingly crafted just for you. Full of deep, black-fruit flavors, with wonderful concentration, smooth tannins and a long, fresh finish – it’s more than deserving of a place in your cellar … and at your first cookout of the season.

Chakana’s Malbecs are “fabulous bargains” (Parker). Hurry for this exclusive.

Gold-Medal Rioja

Smooth Argentine Malbec

Gold-Medal California Red

Fragrant French Pinot Noir

From “probably one of the best vintages ever” (Guía Peñin) in Rioja and the renowned Javier Murúa, this strawberrylaced, limited-release Tempranillo won big in Berlin. Try it with lamb.

Barón de Barbón 2010 •

Pascual Toso’s reds offer “pure class for a fabulous price” (The Wine Advocate).

With Napa’s Paul Hobbs on board, quality’s even higher – as you’ll taste with this black-fruited, steak-ready red.

San Lucas 2011 • •

2012 is “one of the best vintages California has seen for decades,” (JancisRobinson.com). Reed Renaudin’s take (just off a San Francisco gold-medal win) is full of ripe, red berries and spicy oak.

The Prospector 2012 •

Made to look and taste like a good red Burgundy, trophy-winning Jean-Marc Sauboua’s cherry-ripe southern charmer is ideal for a wine and cheese party.

Sip lightly chilled.

Acclaimed Chenin Blanc

Vibrant Italian Chardonnay

Zippy Sauvignon Blanc

Trophy-Winning Aussie

Bruce Jack’s last take on South Africa’s star white was “textbook stuff” (The Wine Gang) – and this silver medalist (IWC Catavinum) boasts the same classic citrus and honeysuckle notes.

The Rustler 2012 • •

All the elegant freshness you’d expect from the cool northern region of Alto Adige and the masterful Giuseppe Secchi.

Sur lie aging adds touches of creamy vanilla to the bright stone fruit.

Il Pino 2012 •

The NEW vintage of a big favorite from the talented Cristián Molina and one of Chile’s most historic estates. Full of refreshing lime and kiwi and tasty with seafood, seasonal veggies and more.

Gran Tarapacá 2013 • •

Italian specialty Vermentino also thrives Down Under – and Sam Trimboli’s tropical-fruited gem has an enviable trophy pedigree. Latest win: ‘Best Dry White’ from a top regional show.

Steakhouse Reds

Rich Steakhouse Reds Perfect for prime cuts and served today with a juicy $69 savings

What Makes a Great Steak Red? Look for the same qualities you’d get in a melt-in-yourmouth piece of beef: heft, depth of flavor and luscious texture. Firm tannins and full body (that can both stand up to the weight of the meat) are also important.

Just-Landed Spring Rosé Freshly bottled rosé is a real rite of spring – and always sells quickly. Order now.

Welcome the season in style for only $11.67 a bottle When you see rosé, you know warmer weather’s on its way – and these are the chic pinks to sip this spring. Start in France, where Ludovic Roussillon makes our best-selling red Bordeaux – and his first-ever rosé won gold at the region’s top show.

Don Cristobal’s single-vineyard Malbec is another big favorite – and the pink version offers the same lush berry fruit, with a super-fresh edge. Chilean star and IWSC 2012 ‘Producer of the Year’ Luis Felipe Edwards sends his ripe, round, BBQ-ready Cab-Shiraz; Pamela Geddes’ uplifting Rioja Rosado is just the wine for a sunny afternoon on the patio.
