Hey guys,

 

Here’s the tasting selection at the Vintage Cellar this week! Enjoy! And thanks for all the help with the Gary V. campaign! Keep it up!

 

Veleta Brut Vino Espumoso Rosado, NV, $3.95

Spain

Rosé salmon with copper reflections. Slow rising fine bubble that forms “lace” and “rosary”. In the nose is complex and elegant with red fruit, citric, exotic, fresh flowers, and notes of dry fruits and dry flowers. Fresh, gentle, and alive. Perfectly integrated “perlage” with serious and subtle flavors of dry fruits, pomegranate and lemonade. Long lasting scent of flowers and herbs.

 

Veleta Tempranillo Rosado, 2010, $3.95

Granada, Spain

Fresh in flavor and crisp in texture, this dry rosé offers berry, tart cherry and light herbal flavors, with firm acidity and a clean finish. Focused and juicy.

 

Cresta Azul, NV, $5.95

Spain

Moscatel, Macabeo, Parellada, Xarel-lo

Peach, orange cream and vanilla flavors mingle in this softly bubbly white. Off-dry, but with crisp acidity and a clean finish.

 

Château Serres Sainte Lucie Corbières, $4.95

Corbières, France

Syrah, Grenache, and Mourvèdre

Superb dark garnet color with a few reflections of dark orange. Intense nose of ripe fruits, spices, and roasted coffee. The palate is rounded and full, with silky matured tannins and hints of vanilla. This wine is rich and powerful with layers of tannins.

 

Ruta 22 Malbec, $7.95

Patagonia, Argentina

Stout and dense from the beginning, with blackberry and violet aromas. Despite being a bold and dark Malbec, this is fresh and composed, with sweet blackberry and cassis flavors. Good on the finish, with candied fruit and caramel sweetness.
