2005 Quinta de Roriz Duoro Prazo
$ 7.99"The 2005 Prazo de Roriz is another nice value, even with declining exchange rates. It is round and velvety, but with bite on the finish. It has modest depth, although it is quite acceptable for its second wine status. It seems a bit more backward than the 2004 was at a similar time, yet it evolves fairly quickly with air. It will be tasty and a crowd pleaser, fleshy, but tending to thin fast, and having a bright, crisp, flavorful finish. Drink now-2014." 88 points - Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Issue 178 "This is an immediately accessible blend of five of the most highly regarded Douro varieties (tourigas nacional and franca [35 percent each]; tintas barroca, roriz and cão [10 percent each]). The fruit is gentle and ripe, with scents of blueberry and black cherry, the tannins soft, their mineral edge kicked up by acidity. It's structured like a cru Beaujolais grown on schist-a by-the-case buy for casual entertaining." 88 points - Wine & Spirits, April 2007 "Crisp, with pure red plum, mineral and raspberry flavors. Lip-smacking finish of spice, red cherry and maple. Drink now through 2009. 3,000 cases imported." 87 points - Wine Spectator, May 31, 2007
2005 Oxford Landing GSM South Australia
$ 7.99"The 2005 GSM possesses herbal, peppery, red cherry, spice, and earthy notes, light tannin, and ripe, round fruit. Drink it over the next 12-18 months. This wine is an exceptional bargain." 87 points - Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate, Issue 167
Garciarevalo 2005 Casamaro Tinto Rueda
$ 9.49Responding to the market’s demand for great wines at value prices, here is an excellent value red wine that has never seen a day in oak. The gutsy 2005 Casamaro Tinto (100% Tempranillo) possesses a dark ruby/purple color as well as notes of pepper, spice, earth, and sweet cherry fruit. The tannins are elegant in this personality-filled, bistro-styled red. There seems to be an identity crisis at many modern Spanish wineries. Character and distinctiveness are being sacrificed for slickness and precious critical accolades. Casamaro Tinto is the antithesis—instead of a heavy, boorish international style, this Rueda wine. It’s a red to serve a little chilled with a young chèvre covered in rosemary. About Garciarevalo: In the heart of Rueda is the family-owned winery of Garciarevalo. If you visit their vineyards you may notice something odd about the ground; the sandy soils scattered with the occasional ancient seashell might make you forget that these vineyards are located in central Spain, at an elevation of 900 meters. These sandy soils provided a natural protection from phylloxera when the pest spread across the region about 100 years ago. Ranging from 100 to 145 years old, many of those vines still grow today.
This Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon offers layers of flavor, reflecting its varied terroir. Aromatic violets, tobacco, cocoa and bright red berry character leads into rich, concentrated fruit flavors of raspberries, currants and succulent black cherries. The ripe fruit flavor is juxtaposed with natural acidity for a balanced, well-structured wine with medium tannins and a supple finish.
2005 Ramos Pinto Adriano White
$ 9.99A brilliant and clear wine with gold tonality. On the nose, intense aromas of exotic fruits, such as kiwi and passion fruit, ripe peach and apricot are balanced by a touch of almond and mineral notes. This wine is fresh, long and well-structured. Adriano Branco is a can be served as an aperitif and is a good pairing with salads, fish and spicy Asian cuisine.
2005 Graffigna Centenario Cabernet Sauvignon San Juan
$ 9.99"Bright medium ruby. Musky blackberry, cassis and a hint of bitter chocolate on the nose. Suave on entry, then very ripe and sweet in the middle, with crushed fruit flavors just this side of stewy. Finishes with supple, even, building tannins. 87 points - Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar, Jan/Feb 08 "Ripe cherry and vanilla aromas with hints of charcoal and pencil shavings. Charred cherry flavors with woody tannins. Sweet, dry finish with cherry fruit echoes." 87 points - The Wine News, April/May 2008
