According to Mollydooker's winemakers,
2009 was its BEST vintage ever!
These wines are definitely worth celebrating, so come in for this years Mollydooker before its gone again!
2009 Mollydooker The Boxer Shiraz
As a sneak peek, the 2009 Boxer Shiraz was by far the BEST Boxer ever produced and keep in mind that previous Boxer vintages have received 95 point scores. Without a doubt, the 2009 Boxer is my BEST VALUE WINE in the world. That's right, I said the world. Nowhere I have found since an amazing wine experience for $25 a bottle. If this wine was produced from a boutique Napa winery, it would sell for $100 a bottle.

Domaine de la Mordoree Lirac la Dame Rousse 2007
92 points, Robert Parker
The outstanding 2007 Lirac La Dame Rousse, a blend of equal parts Syrah and Grenache, reveals a dense purple color as well as a gorgeous, sweet nose of creme de cassis, crushed rocks, violets, and licorice. This layered, full-bodied Lirac could easily pass for a Chateauneuf du Pape priced twice as high.

Marquis Philips 2008 Shiraz
91 points, Wine Advocate
The 2008 Shiraz offers up aromas of cigar box, damp earth, smoked meat, bacon, and blueberry. Packed with flavor on the palate, it is full-bodied, round, and altogether pleasure-bent.
Wine Advocate # 186
Chateau de Campuget Rose 2009
Sherwood Estate Pinot Noir 2008
91 points, Wine Advocate
The wonderful 2008 Pinot Noir has a lovely cranberry and raspberry leaf nose with superb definition. The palate is very well crafted with fine tannins, well judged acidity allowing the joyous fruit to really express themselves: raspberry, a touch of blueberry and dark cherry. Given the price, this is exceptional value and comes highly recommended. Bravo!

Foxglove Zinfandel 2009
A classic zinfandel - true to the variety. Full bodied with loads of fruit and earth flavors. Smooth and well balanced.
Foxglove Chardonnay 2008
91 points, Robert Parker
The sensational 2008 Chardonnay Central Coast, which is fermented and aged completely in stainless steel with no malolactic fermentation, is a 30,000-cuvee of fabulous Chardonnay. Loads of tropical fruit, honeysuckle, and orange blossom notes fill the olfactory sense, as does the luscious medium-bodied texture on the palate. The wine is buttressed by crisp underlying acidity, and the result is a fresh, naked expression of Chardonnay that is top-flight.

Thorn-Clarke Milton Park Shiraz 2008
88 points, Wine Advocate
The 2008 Milton Park Shiraz was aged in American oak. Aromas of spice box, plum, anise, and blueberry lead to a sweetly-fruited, smooth-textured wine with good depth and a medium-long finish.

Cave de Pomerols Picpoul de Pinet Hugues Beaulieu 2008
89 points, Wine Advocate
The latest installment of a perennial amazing value, the 2008 Coteaux du Languedoc Picpoul de Pinet H.B. from the region's Cave de Pomerols coop smells of clover, musk, peaches, and melons. Its refreshing, yet downright lush, palate suggests salt-tinged honeydew and watermelon, with invigoratingly bitter and pungent notes of melon rind, peach kernel, and mint chiming in on a long, savory, lip-smacking finish. This is ideal "refrigerator white," except for the fact that instead of putting the plastic stopper back into it, you'll want to finish the bottle!

San Elias Sauvignon Blanc 2009
The grapes for this Sauvignon Blanc are selected from vineyards in the Central Valley. Pale in color with a goosberry bouquet, apple and citrus fruits aromas, and fresh zesty flavor. Excellent aperitif or with salads, fish and poultry.
kysela.com
Bogle Vineyards Old Vine Zinfandel
What makes this wine so special is that the grapes are harvested from vines that are 45-80 years old! These old vines consistently produce fruit that is concentrated with an unsurpassed quality and intensity. Pairs well with just about everything. Definitely one to give a try!
Maipe Malbec 2009
This Malbec has a deep purple color with violet tints, complex plum, fig, strawberry, spices and floral aromas; rounded and velvety tannins, excellent length with a distinguished character. Excellent when paired with game, roasted red meats, pasta or pizza.
kysela.com
Duck Pond Chardonnay 2007
The 2007 growing season yielded a smaller crop, resulting in extremely concentrated fruit, with abundant natural acidity. This Chardonnay displays aromas of ripe tropical fruit with a hint of minerals. The perfectly balanced body and silky texture is due in part to barrel fermentation in 100% new oak. The addition of a small amount of fruity Gewurztraminer really makes this wine pop! duckpondcellars.com
An Oregon favorite and great value for many years!

Marquis Philips
Our cellar's best seller under $15!!!
Jay Miller, reviewer for Wine Advocate states, " With veteran vigneron Chris Ringland now in charge of the winemaking, I can state unequivocally that this is the finest collection of Marquis Philips wines since the label was started in 2000.
Now is the time to try (if you haven't already) the Sarah's Blend and the Shiraz. Both have been awarded 91 points and are only $12.99 each.
Cheers!
Marquis Phillips Sarah's Blend 2008
91 pts
$12.99
The purple/black 2008 Sarah's Blend is composed of 63% Shiraz, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the balance Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Notes of smoke, espresso, damp earth, spice box, and assorted black fruits lead to a full-bodied, already complex, rich wine with loads of ripe fruit. The finish is long, smooth, and filled with flavor.

Napa Wine Prices Dropping!
01/21/2010 07:53 PM
As consumers are trading down and buying less expensive wines, some Napa wineries are cutting prices. Napa wines tend to be expensive, but even the ones that are now lower in price still maintain their quality. Ramey Cabernet Sauvignon is one of these wines. Regularly $49.99 this high quality and highly rated wine is now only $39.99!
Don't miss this opportunity to experience such a fantastic wine at such a low price!
Ramey 2005 Napa Cabernet
$39.99
was $49.99
91 points, Robert Parker
The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa exhibits a dense ruby/purple color as well as sweet, tarry, black currant, chocolate, cedar, and wood smoke-like flavors, and decent acidity. Drink it over the next 10-15 years.
One of Northern California's most successful winemakers/consultants, David Ramey's personal winery continues to go from strength to strength. Ramey has had the best of both worlds, working in Bordeaux for the Moueix family, and in California at Dominus, Chalk Hill, and Rudd Estate. Ramey has two hierarchies of Chardonnays, his generic appellations as well as his single vineyard cuvees.

2005 Columbia Crest Walter Clore Private Reserve
$25.00
90 points, Wine Advocate
Columbia Crest's flagship is the 2005 Walter Clore Private Reserve, a blend of 48% Cabernet Sauvignon, 45% Merlot, and 7% Cabernet Franc. It was aged for 26 months in new French oak. Purple-colored it exhibits an alluring bouquet of toast, coconut, chocolate, graphite, spice box, black currant, and black cherry. Medium to full-bodied, savory, and structured, this well-balanced effort will improve for another 3-5 years in the bottle and offer prime drinking from 2013 to 2025.
Columbia Crest, owned by Ste. Michelle Wine Estates, has long been known for the quality of its value-priced wines. The current collection will only enhance the winery's reputation. Columbia Crest is usually thought of as a producer of value-priced wines selling for under $20. However, their upper-level, limited-production wines merit serious attention as they, too, are value-priced compared to the competition
2007 Chateau Pesquie
Cotes du Ventuoux
Cuvee des Terrasses
$10.99
91 points, Wine Advocate
The 2007 Terrasses Rouge is a custom cuvee put together for importer Eric Solomon. Made from 60-year-old Grenache and 30-year-old Syrah, one-third is aged in small barrels and the rest in foudre and tank. I'm sure discounters will offer this cuvee for around $12 a bottle, which makes it a remarkable bargain. A dense ruby/purple color is followed by aromas of cassis, kirsch, lavender, pepper, and spice. The sweetness of the tannins, abundant glycerin, razor sharp focus, and wonderful depth make for a wine that transcends its humble price and bucolic appellation.
Glenfiddich
$25.99
A fragrant malt which balances the fruitness of pear with the richness of subtle oak
Balvenie Doublewood 12yr
39.99
1.75 L
The Balvenie DoubleWood is a 12 year old single malt which gains its distinctive character from being matured in two woods. Over its period of maturation it is transferred from a traditional oak whisky cask to a first fill European oak sherry cask. Each stage lends different qualities to the resulting single malt ~ the traditional casks soften and add character, whilst the sherry wood brings depth and fullness of flavour.
Glenlivet
29.99
Honeyed floral notes shine through. A silky feel, flowing on the tongue. Smooth and sweet fruit notes of white peaches and pears poached in vanilla syrup.
McClellands

Highland
Highland malts capture the true spirit of Scotland; the moorlands, heather and fresh pine forests - rounded, firm and fruity.
Lowland
The malts crafted in the Lowlands match the soft rolling landscape.
Smooth and light they make the perfect aperitif.
Speyside
Speyside malts are sweet and fruity;
sometimes delicate, sometimes rich and robust.

Islay
Famous throughout the world for their peaty character and dry finish, the Islay dram is the unmistakable taste of Scotland.

Robert Parker
The outstanding 2007 Zinfandel (86% Zinfandel and 14% Petite Sirah) is another winner and phenomenal bargain. This is classic Zinfandel with loads of berry fruit, pepper, earth, and roasted Provencal herbs. The wine is pure, full-bodied, ripe, with not a hard edge to be found.

2008 Foxglove Chardonnay

Loads of tropical fruit, honeysuckle, and orange blossom notes fill the olfactory sense, as does the luscious medium-bodied texture on the palate. The wine is buttressed by crisp underlying acidity, and the result is a fresh, naked expression of Chardonnay that is top-flight.

The 2007 Merlot Reserve is a glass-coating opaque purple. The nose offers up coffee, mocha, and cherry leading to a wine with no hard edges and plenty of character. If all Merlots offered this much pleasure, Pinot Noir would never have become so popular.

2008 Foxglove Chardonnay
91 points, Robert Parker
The sensational 2008 Chardonnay Central Coast, which is fermented and aged completely in stainless steel with no malolactic fermentation, is a 30,000-cuvee of fabulous Chardonnay. Loads of tropical fruit, honeysuckle, and orange blossom notes fill the olfactory sense, as does the luscious medium-bodied texture on the palate. The wine is buttressed by crisp underlying acidity, and the result is a fresh, naked expression of Chardonnay that is top-flight. Drink it over the next year or so.

Medium straw-colored, the fragrant nose offers up notes of baking spices, pit fruits, melon, and floral aromas. On the palate it has a creamy texture, ripe flavors, and excellent balance.
This gorgeous verdelho is the only white we make. The aromatics virtually leap out of the glass! It has a lovely creamy texture, great acidity, and long, persistent flavours of honeysuckle, pineapple, and citrus.

Thorn-Clarke Eden Valley Chardonnay 2007

87 points, Wine Advocate
winemakers notes
The colour is a rich vibrant green. The nose shows lifted clean, sweet fruit of apricot and peach. The palate is medium to full bodied and exhibits predominantly peach and nectarine flavours, with cloves and cardamom evident from the use of a small amount of French oak. The wine finishes full and long with a nice balance of sweet fruit and creaminess.
Castano Monastrel 2007
$6.99
90 points, Wine Advocate
Dark purple. Luscious blackberry and blueberry aromas are at once expansive and precise, with floral and spice qualities adding complexity. Juicy dark fruit flavors deliver a wallop of sweetness, with no rough edges or animal, earth or herbal character. This very fresh wine finishes with impressive cling and length. And the price is unreal.
Jay Miller
Jip Jip Rocks Chardonnay 2008
$10.99
90 points, Wine Advocate
White grapes are gently crushed before fermentation. Traditionally Jip Jip Rocks Chardonnay is a blend of 2/3 Chardonnay grapes fermented and matured in stainless steel, and 1/3 that starts fermentation in stainless steel and then goes into French and American oak to continue fermentation for about 4 weeks, and then matured for up to 5 months in new and older French and American oak. Pale Straw. A pure and complex nose, with fresh citrus characters as well as stonefruit, melon, cashews. The palate is clean and fresh with subtle oak characters. Like the nose, the palate is quite fruit derived and has great poise. This wine will age beautifully over the next 4-5 years.

Grand Veneur 2007 Cotes du Rhone Reserve
3L bag in a box

The colour is purple-tinged garnet. The aromatic range of the nose goes from fresh berries (wild raspberry, blackcurrant, blackberry) to spices. The palate is big and full-flavoured, with silky-smooth tannins and aromas of the fruit already mentioned. The finish introduces touches of liquorice and pepper.
Ideal throughout the meal, but particularly with poultry and other white meats, as well as mild cheeses. And perfect for drinking by the pool - no glass!

Up to 96 points! Rhone wines worth celebrating!
05/13/2009 07:35 PM
We would like to again celebrate the unbelievable vintage that is
Rhone's 2007 and return our focus to
Domaine Grand Veneur.
Robert Parker gave southern Rhone an outstanding 98 out of 100 points, marking this vintage as extraordinary!
The Jaume family has long been an important winemaking establishment in Chateauneuf du Pape, France. Over the years, their family tradition has continued with vineyards in the areas of Chateauneuf du Pape, Lirac, Cotes du Rhone Villages, and Cotes du Rhone,
as well as the creation of Grand Veneur Winery. The wines of this estate are all truly amazing, most have received high praise or awards for achieving such success in combining the aspects of terroir, grape variety, and climate.
Not to mention each vintage in this area since 2003 have been well above average if not extraordinary.
2007 Domaine Grand Veneur Cotes du Rhone Reserve
87 points, Robert Parker
$11.99
The 2007 Cotes du Rhone Reserve exhibits a peppery, roasted Provencal herb, meaty black cherry, and black currant-scented nose. With a lovely texture and silky tannins, it begs for consumption over the next 2-3 years.

2007 Domaine Grand Veneur Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee les Origines
93-96 points, Robert Parker
$49.99
The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Les Origines may turn out to be one of this estate's finest cuvees, although one should not overlook the 2006 Les Origines. A luxury cuvee sold at a reasonable price, the 2007 boasts a dense blue/purple color as well as a sweet perfume of blueberries, charcoal, creme de cassis, graphite, smoked meats, and herbs. Dense, full-bodied, and exceptionally pure, with a multilayered texture, moderate tannin, and a stunning finish, it will benefit from 2-4 years of cellaring, and should drink well for 20-25.

2007 Domaine Grand Veneur Cotes du Rhone Villages les Champauvins
91 points, Robert Parker
$14.99
An outstanding sleeper of the vintage, the 2007 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Les Champauvins is an amazingly good effort displaying a dark ruby/purple hue as well as a big, sweet bouquet of black raspberries, kirsch, pepper, garrigue, and earth. Dense, full-bodied, and ripe, it is as good as many producers- Chateauneuf du Papes. It should drink well for 7-8 years or more.

2007 Domaine Grand Veneur Chateauneuf du Pape

The superb 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape exhibits a deep ruby/purple color followed by notes of cassis, black raspberries, licorice, charcoal, and a hint of camphor. It possesses superb concentration, full-bodied richness, great purity and texture, and a long finish that lasts 35-40 seconds. Drink it over the next 12-15+ years.

Domaine de la Mordoree
2007
2007 was a sensational year from the Rhone!
Robert Parker gave southern Rhone an outstanding 98 out of 100 points, marking this vintage as extraordinary by his standards!
The following wines are all truly amazing, but try the Cotes du Rhone for a tasting experience you will never, ever forget!
Cotes du Rhone 2007
$13.99
88 points, Robert Parker
As for the 2007 Cotes du Rhone Red, this blend of Grenache, Syrah, Cinsault, Carignan, and Counoise shows wonderfully earthy, meaty black cherry and black currant notes with some spring flowers. The wine has good tannins, fresh acidity ( a characteristic of this vintage), and medium-bodied, pure, fresh, vibrant flavors that last on the palate.
Wine Advocate #178, Aug 2008
Cotes du Rhone Rose 2007
$13.99
88 points, Robert Parker
Almost as good and a lot less expensive is 2007 Cotes du Rhone Rose. This is a terrific rose offering up notes of watermelon, red berry fruit, and some hints of citrus and flowers. It is fresh, medium to full-bodied, and wonderfully deep and long. Drink it over the next year.
Wine Advocate #178 Aug 2008
Pair with : cold meats and delicatessen, fowl, white meats, grilled lamb with Provence herbs, fish soup, fried fish, pastas, pizzas and all Asian dishes.
Lirac La Reine des Bois 2007
$29.99
This wine is a deep, dark red, with blueish hints. The aroma is highly fruity (dried prunes, blackberry) and intense with a grilled touch (coffee). This full bodied wine has melted and concentrated tannins with a very long, fresh finish.
Pair with : grilled meats, sauce meats, game birds, game rabbits and semi-mature cheeses.
Lirac Dame Rousse 2007
$18.99
90 points, Robert Parker
Deep red in color, with aromas of raspberry, black currant, and violet. The palate is full and rich with a long finish and nice concentration.
Pair with : red meats with sauce, grilled meats, game birds and semi-mature cheeses.
Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de la Reine des Bois 2007
$89.99
96-97 points, Robert Parker
The purple-colored 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Reine des Bois is loaded. Although still primary and backward, it reveals an extraordinary depth of juicy blackberry and cassis fruit interwoven with notes of roasted herbs, meat juices, camphor, and a touch of licorice. The wine boasts great depth, a superb texture, and a full-bodied richness nicely framed by high yet velvety tannins and fresh acidity. The vintage’s remarkable aromatic complexity and freshness are apparent in this big, substantial, authoritative wine. It will need 3-4 years of cellaring, and should keep for 20-25 years.
Wine Advocate # 179
Oct 2008
Ideally located at the crossroads of Provence and Languedoc, the Domaine de la Mordorée produces some of the greatest vintages of the Rhone Valley :
Châteauneuf du Pape, Lirac, Tavel.
The Mediterranean area granted it a climate and beauty which are exceptionally favorable to tourism.
This outstanding environment naturally inspired the name of the Domaine.
The Mordorée is the poetic nickname used locally for the woodcock that flies over the lands during its migrations.

Clos de los Siete

There may be no finer red wine value in Argentina than this superb blend of 48% Malbec, 28% Merlot, 12% Syrah, and 12% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is aged for 11 months, two-thirds in 100% new French oak and the balance in vat and bottled without fining or filtration. Opaque purple-colored, the wine coats the glass while offering up a superb bouquet of toasty oak, violets, mineral, black currant, blueberry, and black cherry. This is followed by a layered wine with gobs of ripe fruit, a plush texture, outstanding balance, and several years of aging potential (not that many buyers will be laying this down). This lengthy effort over-delivers and then some.

Louis Martini Cabernet Sauvignon

One of the finest bargains in California Cabernet Sauvignon... Fabulously sweet aromas of black currants, licorice, and cedar soar from the glass of this medium to full-bodied wine. With silky tannins as well as surprising concentration, depth, and texture, this 2006 should drink well for 8-10 years.
Now owned by the Gallo family, but still run by Michael Martini, the quality of these wines merits serious attention.

Excellent example of the Monastrell grape in its early years. Intense aromas of black fruit (plums) and less ripe red fruit (cranberries, mulberries, redcurrants, blackcurrants). On the palate it is fruity and fresh, and alive with tannins which leaves a pleasant aftertaste.
Hecula Monastrell 2005
$9.99
winemaker's notes:
Dense, clean and brilliant color. Magnificent fruity display (plums, fig bread combined with red fruit), medium strong balsam aromas(mentholated) which are perfectly integrated. On the palate, it is smooth and silky with mature, polished tannins and a full, pleasant finish.
Sideral Altair 2003
$19.99
The 2003 Sideral, a blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 4% Syrah, and 2% Sangiovese, is purple-colored with aromas of toasty black currants, cedar, and spice box. This is followed by a smoothly textured wine with ripe red and black fruits, spicy flavors, and soft tannins. The wine is forward enough to be enjoyed now but will evolve for several years.

The 2007 vintage is back in! Although it has not yet been rated, the 2006 was given 91 points - and the 2007 is sure to be just as good!
Thorn-Clarke, Milton Park 2007 Shiraz
90 points, Robert Parker
only $8.99
2007 was a mild growing season with very low crops resulting in wines with good color and flavor, that achieved optimum ripeness. The color is a deep red. The nose is clean and lifted, with complex characters of bitter chocolate and thyme. A lovely rich and creamy mouth feel is accompanied by soft integrated tannins. There are predominant flavors of plum, anise and raspberry, backed by spicy notes throughout the pallet. Good length of chocolate and plumb fruit characters combine well to create a long finish.

Thorn-Clarke, Eden Valley Terra Barossa Single Vineyard 2007 Chardonnay
91 points, Wine Spectator
only $9.99
This sneaks up on you. A pretty, open-textured wine at first, but the pear, melon and spice flavors just keep sailing on, getting deeper and longer. It has elegance and restraint, but won't shortchange on flavor. Drink now through 2012. –HS

2007 Clos de Los Siete

reg price $22.99
There may be no finer red wine value in Argentina than this superb blend of 48% Malbec, 28% Merlot, 12% Syrah, and 12% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is aged for 11 months, two-thirds in 100% new French oak and the balance in vat and bottled without fining or filtration. Opaque purple-colored, the wine coats the glass while offering up a superb bouquet of toasty oak, violets, mineral, black currant, blueberry, and black cherry. This is followed by a layered wine with gobs of ripe fruit, a plush texture, outstanding balance, and several years of aging potential (not that many buyers will be laying this down). This lengthy effort over-delivers and then some.
Located right at the foothills of the Andes in a magnificent setting, this Michel Rolland project is off to a flying start. Currently 430 hectares out of a total of 850 are densely planted so there will be no lack of wine to go around.
