Stonestreet "Bear Point" Chardonnay 2011 Reviews

"Orange blossoms, nectarines, white flowers and honey all flesh out in the 2011 Chardonnay Bear Point. Another wine that manages to be both rich but not ponderous, the 2011 Bear Point blossoms in all directions as the fruit opens up in the glass. A creamy, highly expressive finish rounds things out in style. The Bear Point is made from the 'Peter Michael' Chardonnay clone, which is believed to have originated on this property!" - 92, Robert Parker

Stonestreet "Bear Point" Chardonnay 2011 Tasting Notes

"The Bear Point Chardonnay exhibits a powerful floral element in this vintage, with lemon blossom and jasmine backed by apricot and kumquat flavors. The palate is marked by lushness at the forefront, a generosity that’s balanced by all that exuberant fruit and a savory character that frames the wine through a lengthy finish." - Winery Notes

A Rose for Thanksgiving!

Chandon Nautical Summer

WHOA - Thanksgiving is ONLY 10 days away!  How did that happen?!

Unsure about what to serve at Thanksgiving Dinner?  ShopUncorked.com certainly doesn't blame you!  What other meal of the year do you have to accommodate acidic cranberries, savory turkey and mashed potatoes along with green bean casserole topped with onions?  Rarely.

Our suggestion?: Embrace a pink wine - be selective while doing so, but Roses are versatile enough to pair with most foods.  Find a good one and you'll be hero of the day (10 days from RIGHT now!)!

Product Description

"Juvé y Camps has been a family run company for three generations and has garnered an international reputation. Over two hundred years ago, Joan Juvé Mir, a bold and enterprising vine grower with ideas way ahead of his time, laid the foundations of what would become the family firm.
He began the task which was carried on by his son, Antoni Juvé Escaiola, who, amongst other challenges, had to confront the effects of the terrible phylloxera plague. Advocating replanting, with other leading figures of the Penedes, he led a drive to restore the vineyards and to rebuild the wine production of the region.
A man respected and loved by his contemporaries, his example encouraged his son, Joan Juvé Baqués, to build the family's first winery. He married Teresa Camps Farré, an exceptional woman and an enthusiastic supporter who inspired her husband to launch, in 1921, the first sparkling wine under the "Juvé" brand. It was made in the underground cellars beneath the family home in San Sadurní d'Anoia." - Winery Notes

Juvé y Camps Cava Brut Rose N/V Tasting Notes

Brut Rosé Juvé y Camps is produced from Pinot Noir grapes grown in the Feixa 1 vineyard at the Espiells estate. The free run juice is allowed a brief maceration on the skins.
The wine is of a pretty, deep pink color. On the nose there are both floral and berry fruit notes in perfect harmony. Long bottle aging – 3 years -has brought balance, length and weight while retaining freshness and vivacity.

Stay tuned for Uncorked Holiday Boxes to be announced after the holiday.

WOW: Sailor's Grave Red Blend

WOW: Wine of the Week
 

Sailor's Grave Red Blend

Chandon Nautical Summer
Mark your calendar's for Mondays: ShopUncorked.com will be unveiling a new product every week from now until year end - now is the time to discover a new wine!

Sailor's Grave Red Blend is the perfect gift or conversation piece as evidenced by its modern label.  Bring this one to a friend's house or into your own home and get the conversation started!

Product Description

"Michael Pozzan and Richard Bruno, of Michael Pozzan Wines, are the minds behind Sailor's Grave. Highly respected in the world of wine, Michael has dedicated himself to producing high-quality Napa and Sonoma Valley wines in the Italian style of his heritage: wines of rich fruit, excellent character and exceptional value. Richard Bruno decided to put a semiprofessional soccer career on hold in order to pursue his own passionate interest in wine. A well-played career move, Bruno now has 20 years of successful winemaking endeavors under his belt. Together, they have produced this intensely evocative Napa Valley blend. With a small case production of 900, 2010 was the first vintage.
Sailor's Grave is an ode to Michael's late grandfather who was an ex first officer in the Merchant Marines, a former staff member of the Sailor's Union in Oakland, CA in the late 1940's and a tattoo enthusiast. "Sailor's Grave" was a common tattoo around that time for seamen depicting a ship sinking below the image of an Eagle with the American flag. The label incorporates his own tattoos as well as his initials "BP" and his birth and death dates in roman numerals on his arms. The nurses represent "The Rose of No Man's Land" an ode to nurses that help the wounded on the battlefield during WWII and represent life and death on an open and unforgiving sea." - Winery Notes

Sailor's Grave Red Blend 2010 Tasting Notes

"The aromas are well-defined with concentrated cassis and ripe black cherry, backed by mocha and toasted vanilla notes. On the palate, this full-bodied tannic Cabernet-based blend has a firm mid-palate presence and cellar-worthy potential. As the spectrum of flavors unfolds, the huckleberry and raspberry give way to a complex mocha, coffee, vanilla matrix - all balanced under the fruit notes, giving the wine a tingly and silky finish. This is a serious wine - a truly wonderful splurge.  Try it with a mushroom-encrusted filet mignon served with sun-dried tomato compote and a side of roasted blue potatoes with sea salt. This wine, when cellared properly, will drink well through 2030." - Winemaker Notes
Blend: 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Syrah, 2% Merlot, 2% Malbec

Product Description

"The inhabitants of these lands have know the taste of good wine since history can remember.  In ancient times a Roman colony was established here.  The Romans had an immense influence on the traditions of local winemaking and consumption.

The glorious moments of our history:

After Bessarabia was joined to Russia, by a decree of the local authorities, issued in 1827, in Purcari was created the first specialized winemaking company.  As early as 1847, during an agricultural exhibition held in Bessarabia, Purcari wines were exhibited for the first time and tasters were impressed by its delicate bouquet and dense, full taste.

The newest step in the history of Purcari wines starts in 2003, when the "Vinaria Purcari" company was created.  The main purpose of creating the company was to revive the production of unique, historic wine blends.  The Purcari production facility was fully revived and upgraded, and the old cellars, built as far back as 1827, were renovated.  Today the cellars are among the oldest and most famous in Moldova." - Winery Notes
