The 2010 Valle Secreto First Edition Syrah sports a strikingly deep violet color that foreshadows the wine’s gregarious, larger than life personality. Huge black fruit aromas of blackberry and blueberry preserves bound from the glass. To complement its hedonistic berry flavors, this pungeant and seductive wine offers luscious touches of dark chocolate, licorice, mocha, spice, and smooth fine-grained oak tones that explode in the mouth. Warm, supple, and intense, but not overbearing, it will continue to improve for several years in bottle.

In Lorenzo Costantini’s Frascati one gets a taste of the sea, a draught of mountain air, as well as subtle softness born of Frascati’s volcanic soil. Light, fresh, vivacious and utterly satisfying, this Frascati provides the perfect anytime wine. It offers pleasing aromas and flavors born of summer fruits that have been imbued with a gentle minerality and a citrus twist – all of which conjure images of the glorious sun-drenched Alban Hills that gave it birth. Unfolding gracefully to reveal its many faces and facets, Costantini’s Frascati finishes pleasantly dry, with freshness and purity.

The 2010 Príncipe de Viana Navarra Crianza highlights the renaissance in wine making in Navarra and provides ample testimony to this ancient Spanish province’s ability to produce attractive modern-style wine. A rich ruby robe greets the eye and is followed by attractive red fruit aromas of cherry and currant to whet one’s appetite. Smooth, soft berry flavors infused with subtle hints of chestnut, coconut and vanilla fill the mouth. Bolstered by a 12 month hiatus in American oak barrels, this lithe, medium-bodied red finishes smooth and easy.
- Country: Chile
- Wine Vintage: 2011
- Serving Temperature: 40°-45° F
- Grape Varietals: Chardonnay
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
The 2011 Gran Reserva Chardonnay is part of Carmen’s luxury series of wines. It’s a Chardonnay that offers both flavor and grace, along with pure ripe New World fruit and the elegance and finesse of French White Burgundy. Offering up a light golden robe and a pretty bouquet of freshly picked apples, apricots and warm buttered toast, this balanced, medium-bodied Chardonnay follows through with plenty of savory stone fruit flavors and deft touches of oak and spice that make this wine easy to drink and enjoy.
- Country: France
- Wine Vintage: 2010
- Grape Varietals: Pinot Noir
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
Although still in its youth, the 2010 Clos Rousseau red Burgundy is already delicious and reveals itself as a charming and satisfying dinner companion. This appealing ruby red wine immediately ingratiates itself with a set of pretty aromatics that begin with soft scents of ripe cherries and strawberries mingled with a fresh woodsy aroma. An incomparable silky texture conveys its delicate fruit and spice flavors, and in keeping with Girardin’s penchant for producing wines of eminent breeding and grace, the 2010 Clos Rousseau finishes with a soft, satisfying glow.

While other Champagne houses have cut back on the ageing of their Brut Champagnes and have in many cases homogenized their blends, Joseph Perrier has stayed the course. The result is the creamy, sensuous, and eminently drinkable Cuvée Royale Brut – an exquisite, full flavored Champagne imbued with soft scents of acacia, daffodil, and citrus peel. In the mouth, Cuvée Royale provides balanced precision as it offers hints of apple and hawthorn that meld with the savor of freshly baked bread, before exiting with a luxurious, crisp-but-not-acidic finish.
- Country: Italy
- Wine Vintage: 2006
- Serving Temperature: 57°-65°F
- Grape Varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot
- Bottle Size: 12-oz
The 2006 Tenuta Marsiliana Maremma boasts a dark, concentrated color and a soaring bouquet of dark red and black fruits blended with juniper, myrtle, leather, and fresh cut tobacco. In the mouth, this Super Tuscan’s rich fruit blends seamlessly with soft notes of sandalwood and spice. Concentrated and full-bodied, yet supremely elegant, the wine positively fills the mouth with deep, complex flavors. Yet, despite its size and concentration, all the elements in this offering work in symphonic harmony to create a sophisticated wine in which elegance prevails.
