<\/a><\/p>\nDe Loach Vineyards Chardonnay from California ($14.99)<\/b> – \u00a0This bright, refreshing wine offers enticing aromas of butterscotch, pear and citrus woven with a hint of orange blossom. Flavors of crisp white peach, Gravenstein apple and subtle oak complement the lush vanilla-cream palate, while a wet stone minerality and bright acidity lifts the structure for a brilliant finish.<\/p>\n
Colome Estate Malbec from Argentina ($26.99)<\/b> – “Colome\u2019s Estate Malbec is annually one of Argentina\u2019s better values. The 2009 Estate Malbec (85%) contains small amounts of Tannat, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah in its blend. It spent 15 months in barrel, 30% new American, the balance second-use French with the fruit sourced from some of the world\u2019s most elevated vineyards. It is purple in color with a captivating nose of cedar, Asian spices, incense, violets, black licorice, espresso, and assorted back fruits. Made in a racy style with uplifting acidity, it is a beautifully proportioned offering with exceptional elegance and length. Give it several more years of cellaring and drink this fantastic value from 2013 to 2024.” 92 Points The Wine Advocate\u00a0 85% Malbec, 8% Tannat, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Syrah, 2% Petit Verdot.<\/p>\n
