2006 Montes Limited Selection Sauvignon Blanc (Leyda Valley, Chile)
An absolute must for summer drinking. The Montes scores again with it’s limited selection 2006 Sauvignon Blanc. It’s a clear, crispy and fruit forward wine with light yellow-green color and wonderful clarity. The nose shows lots of citrus and mineral qualities with pretty floral undertones. Its cold zone origin, with the morning fogs, low temperatures, and long hang time helped develop a wonderful balance of ripe fruit and zippy acidity.

2006 Mollydooker Cabernet “The Maitre’d” (McLaren Vale, Australia)
Sarah and Sparky Marquis have made this whopping 16% Cabernet to go along with their tremendous array of wines.
