Trivento Bodegas y Viñedos “Select Torrontes”, Argentina $11.99
NEW TO ALABAMA!
The great white wine of Argentina, Torrontes hails from Mendoza, the Napa Valley of Argentina. Characteristics similar to the great white wines of the Southern Rhone Valley. The bouquet is fresh orange blossom & honeysuckle with delicate perfume. Flavors consistent with the bouquet in concert with citrus & rich minerality. In short…it is delicious! Very limited supply.
Trivento Bodegas y Viñedos “Select Malbec”, Argentina
Reg. $11.99 now $10.99
Aged in medium toasted French oak, which adds vanilla aromas and supple tannins to the wine’s rich berry flavors. Deep violet in color with intense fruit on the palate that makes this wine just right for hearty stews and grilled meats.
Trivento Bodegas y Viñedos “Select Syrah”, Argentina
Reg. $11.99 now $10.99
An alluring nose of violets and cassis. Intense red in color, the wine is smooth and velvety on the palate with supple tannins. It offers rich fruit flavors complemented by spice notes. Aged in American and French oak for 5 to 7 months, it is perfect for braised beef or lamb as well as for Mediterranean fare.
Natura Chardonnay, Casablanca Valley, Chile
Reg. $11.99 now $9.99
100% Organic! For Chardonnay lovers, this juicy, succulent white is sure to please. Soft yellow in color with tropical fruit with mineral notes, combined with soft hints of nut and marzipan. Lightly oaked with pineapple and melon flavors, with elegant notes of almonds and balanced by a zesty acidity; it's a winner. This Chardonnay's fruit flavors combine well with spicy fish and shellfish, shrimp in garlic, fried seafood and grilled chicken.
Natura Carmenère, Colchagua Valley, Chile
Reg. $11.99 now $9.99
100% Organic! An ideal wine to get acquainted with the beauty of Carmenère, Chile's unique red grape. Most affordably priced versions can be too herbal and earthy, but this wine captures the spicy, dried herbal notes of Carmenère coupled with its sultry texture. Intense red in color with attractive aroma with hints of chocolate, black fruits, toffee and spices. Big volume on the palate with soft round tannins with a firm, well balanced structure. Good balance between fruit and oak with a long, sweet finish. This wine's soft and fruit forward palate marries well with most red meats, well-seasoned fish such as spicy grilled albacore tuna, French onion soup, or vegetable lasagna.
