2007 Sauvignon Blanc
Penalolen's Sauvignon Blanc comes from Chile's prestigious cool
climate appellation, the Limari Valley. With this wine, Penalolen
demonstrates how impressive Sauvignon Blanc can be when grown
in the right place and guided by a talented winemaker. The use
of pure, ripe fruit gives this wine a powerfully rich and complex
flavor free from oak or residual sugar. The aromas of mandarin
orange and fresh cut flowers, combined with good acidity, make
this Sauvignon Blanc a classic partner for food.

Retail: $12.00

2006
Estate Cabernet Sauvignon
Low yields and hand harvesting indicate the care given to the
superior fruit from this single-vineyard winery located on the
gravelly slopes of the Maipo Valley. These standards extend
to the wine-making process, with meticulous grape selection
and aging in French oak barrels for 12 months. Made from a blend
of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot and 8% Cabernet Franc,
this is a complex and velvety wine with a soft structure, spicy
tannins, and a fruity finish. The Wine Spectator enthusiastically
described the prior vintage as “rock solid” and gave it 90 points.
Suggested Retail: $18.00 |
