Carpe Divem Trois
$115.00This wine's real point of difference is that it is a blend of three consecutive vintages. The blend number is written in letters on the label, to identify the different blends of each vintage. CARPE DIVEM 'TROIS' (2011, 2012, 2013) was bottled in August 2016. The blending of different vintages is very common in Champagne but very rare for red wines, most famous example being Vega Sicilia's Reserva Especial. The weather makes a great difference to our vintages, and because of this, blending different vintages is a way of reducing the effect of the weather, by evening it out; poetically speaking, one might say the wrinkles of time is smoothen away. Some might say that by blending, something is lost, and in a way this is true. The mark of a particular year is effectively erased, in other words, the vintage effect. Blend of Merlot 70%, Grenache, Syrah, Mourvèdre, Cinsault 30%

Arnoux & Fils Vacqueyras...
$95.00Rather than a date, this cuvée is about paying tribute to the beginning of the vintner history in our family. Product of the oldest vines in our family estate, this wine delivers itself in an intense garnet color, deep and attractive. It exudes a powerful bouquet in which touches of vanilla flirt with notes of red fruits, crushed strawberries, cherries, all on a tenderly spiced background. The mouth matches the nose's complexity, on a beautiful texture. wrapped by lovely tannins, ever present but sumptuously silky. It smoothly evolves toward a melting finish in which the perfect dose of wood embraces passionately the aromas from fruit ... An hymn to sensuality ...

Domaine Maby "La Fermade"...
$42.00Another beautiful wine from this estate is the value-priced 2014 Lirac la Fermade. Mostly Grenache, mixed with Syrah.

I suspect it will evolve nicely. (The Wine Advocate, 2016) Blend: Grenache 70%, Syrah 20%, Mourvedre 10%

Ampelos Cellars Sta. Hills...
$48.00As Peter Work owner of Ampelos describes this wine: "This Pinot is a great friend of ours. It all started when he walked in wearing a suit and tie. He was gracious in his offerings of dark cherry, rich cola and butterscotch so we invited him to stay for dinner. Arriving at the ranch, the suit was gone, the boots were on and the stories of well worn leather and spice began. Like the perfect playlist, the fruit for this wine was carefully selected from two small vineyards aged in French oak and the result - a killer wines for every occasion."
