Nothing says Party like a big bottle and we are starting off this event with a few 3 liter bottles of Rose, hey if we don’t finish them we have a magnum party the next night at WWWB!
2015 Chateau La Mascaronne "Quat 'saisons" Rose (3 Liter)
Price: $120.00 Sale Price: $60.00
A quintessential Provencal Rosé that’s made from 70% Cinsault, 16% Grenache and 14% Syrah, the 2015 Quat'Saisons offers up a light pink color to go with mouthwatering aromas and flavors of wild strawberries, rosé petal and salty minerality. Medium to light-bodied, juicy and gorgeously fresh and quaffable, with solid fruit and texture, it doesn’t get much better than this for a hot summer day and this beauty should be purchased by the case.
2015 Domaine de La Croix Irresistible Rose AOC Côtes de Provence (3 Liter)
Price: $142.50 Sale Price: $71.25
Quantity in Stock: 27
Cuvée Irrésistible is the flagship rosé of Domaine de la Croix - a brilliant "Cru Classé" for only £11.80! A beautiful pale color, a nice aromatic intensity with notes of white peach and grapefruit. It is supported by an outstanding freshness, preserved thanks to the night harvest. In short, it is a delicious, very pure and light rosé that you will love having when sun is out.
2016 La Spinetta Rose di Casanova
Price: $19.25 Your Price: $16.94
This wine is a salmon color with orange highlights, a pretty nose of wild flowers, light red berry and lime citrus with hints of sage. A very refreshing wine that leaves the mouth yearning for a second glass, tart cherry and pomegranate fruit and that pretty floral nuance through the finish. Finish 35+ Very Good
2014 G Chateau Guiraud Bordeaux Blanc
Price: $19.75 Your Price: $17.38
The only make 150,000 bottles, this is 105 hectare estate and they are in the city between the Church and Chateau D'Yquem, this was the first growth to be classified and this means that the wine is from the region and it must be sweet and the appellation here is Bordeaux dry white wine because of the dryness and they do not have the Moilleux level but there is a minimum level of sweetness to a Sauternes 120 grams per liter. A lovely savory character to the palate with a good amount of fruit, melon, white grape fruit, quince, a gravelly mineral nuance, a rich texture on the tongue, good weight in the mid palate, and a lovely freshness to the finish a long mineral laced finish. A blend of 50/50 Semillon and Sauvignon Blanc they have specific parcels in the vineyard that are dedicated to making this dry wine, tart finish, could use a bit of time and shows much better on the second day, a great introduction to the dry whites of Sauternes! Finish 40+ Excellent (89-91 Points) "The G de Guiraud 2014 has quite a complex bouquet with lively citrus fruit intermixed with sea cave scents. There is something almost marine-like here. The palate is well balanced with crisp acidity, appreciable weight in the mouth with light green apple and spice notes emerging toward the finish. This is how to do dry white Sauternes." Reviewed April 2015 Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:

2013 Clos Du Val Sauvignon Blanc Napa

Wine Enthusiast 89 points - There’s a distinct freshness to this wine. Stainless-steel fermented and aged, it’s high in acidity with enough spirit to feel almost effervescent. Lightly textured tastes range from pineapple to papaya, a squeeze of Lemonheads candy on the long finish. (Feb 2015)
2013 Heritance Sauvignon Blanc Napa
Price: $19.50 Your Price: $17.16
It has typical Sauvignon Blanc varietal aromas - good citrus notes with just a hint of ripe grapefruit. The palate has tropical flavors, with passion fruit and guava undertones. The mouth feel is fresh, round and fleshy, displaying pleasant acidity without angularity. This can be attributed to the Roussanne which softens the inherent acidity in the Sauvignon Blanc while imparting richness to the final blend, important in this cooler year. The wine is smooth and well balanced with great complexity and a long finish.
