The touch of oak provides a spicy component and the acidity, depth and overall equilibrium suggest this beauty should drink nicely for 3-4 years. &#8221; 91 Points The Wine Advocate.<\/p>\n<p><b>Perrin &amp; Fils Chateauneuf Du Pape Les Sinards from France ($39.99)<\/b> &#8211; &#8220;Vivid ruby. Heady aromas of Asian spices, red berries and garrigue, along with a hint of white pepper. Fresh, precise and sappy, offering sweet red fruit compote flavors and showing very good energy. Finishes with excellent clarity and lingering spiciness. I like this wine&#8217;s vivacity. Range: 90-92&#8221; 92 Points International Wine Cellar.<\/p>\n<p><b>Klinker Brick Farrah Syrah from California ($22.99)<\/b> &#8211; Deep garnet in color, this wine exhibits aromas of dark fruits, tobacco, leather and pepper. On the palate, there are with layers of plum, chocolate, tobacco and exotic spices. This wine is mouth filling with bright fruit, velvety texture and exceptional balance.<\/p>\n<p><b>Croze Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon from California ($39.99)<\/b> &#8211; Danial Benton was in the shop a few months ago tasting his great Croze Cabernet Sauvignon.\u00a0 Here is what he has to say about it.\u00a0 &#8220;CROZE Cabernet Sauvignon, Rutherford displays classic Rutherford notes with a dusty elegance and complexity.\u00a0 This wine is rich with a balance of red and dark fruit character along with all the earth aroma&#8217;s that make Rutherford such a special place for Cabernet.\u00a0 The aromas are reminiscent of an early morning stroll through a briary blackberry patch.\u00a0 On the finish there are spice notes of licorice and anise with a subtle cigar box charm.\u00a0 With firm but subtle tannins, this is approachable now, but will age gracefully for many years.&#8221;\u00a0 Daniel Benton, Assistant Winemaker &amp; Sommelier<\/p>\n<p><b>St. Wenceslaus Holiday Spiced Wine from Missouri ($9.99)<\/b> &#8211; St. Wenceslaus is a festive Holiday tradition at Montelle.\u00a0 What a unique way to entertain guests at your holiday parties, as a gift for your favorite host or hostess, or just to curl up with by the fire on a cold winter night. St. Wenceslaus is a ruby red sweet wine full of spice and is ready to enjoy right out of the bottle.\u00a0 Just warm and serve.\u00a0 For extra flair, you can add lemon slices, orange slices, cinnamon sticks, and even apple juice.\u00a0 Can also be served chilled, if preferred.<\/p>\n<p><b>Gift Baskets!<\/b><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-959\" alt=\"Holiday Basket 8\" src=\"http:\/\/chateaulavin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Holiday-Basket-81-224x300.jpg\" width=\"224\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/chateaulavin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Holiday-Basket-81-224x300.jpg 224w, https:\/\/chateaulavin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Holiday-Basket-81-764x1024.jpg 764w, https:\/\/chateaulavin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/12\/Holiday-Basket-81.jpg 1936w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 224px) 100vw, 224px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Need a last minute gift?\u00a0 We have our gift baskets ready to pick up.\u00a0 Want a custom basket?\u00a0 We can do that too!\u00a0 Stop in and take a look at our selection!\u00a0 We also have gift certificates and wine accessories!<\/p>\n<p><b>Like us on Facebook! <\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So far so good!\u00a0 The world has not ended yet, so Ron, Carol and Luke are still planning on playing tonight at Chateau La Vin!\u00a0 We will also be tasting some great wines for your Christmas Day Celebration!
