					<description><![CDATA[For many years, the isolated mountain valleys of Northern Argentina were home to the Incas. Today the valleys are home to the highest vineyards in
the world, lying at an altitude of 2000 metres above sea level. Here the crystal clear skies, pure mountain air, and a long cool growing season provide perfect conditions for the production of quality grapes.

This Malbec is vinified in a modern style with cooler temperatures, in order to keep the delicate fruity character of the Malbec grape.

					<description><![CDATA[Malbicho is regarded as someone who dares to try something new, who abides by the dictates of tradition, who has a confident and challenging attitude toward life. Therefore, these wines convey the vision of someone who thinks outside the box, someone who challenges limits, who fears nothing. Argentine wines, but with their own unique perspective: free and challenging. That and much more lives in every bottle of Malbicho.

A great Argentinean Malbec offering aromas of red fruits and plums with violets and subtle, toasty vanilla notes.

					<description><![CDATA[The vineyards around Chateau de Clotte may date back to the 13th century, while the chateau was built in 1782 by Mr. Roy de Clotte, after whom the estate is named. The current owner is Bruno Laporte, who purchased the chateau in 2002 and also owns a number of other properties in the area.

The blend of 4 varieties in the 2016 vintage gives the wine complexity. Merlot brings aromas of red fruit and silky tannins. Cabernet Franc gives the wine a distinctive color and aroma of black fruit, while Cabernet Sauvignon balances with character and structure. Finally Malbec adds a hint of spice, which is enhanced by aging in oak barrels.

<strong>VARIETALS</strong>
60% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 5% Malbec

					<description><![CDATA[Over the centuries, the Jouffreau family at Clos de Gamot, has cultivated vines, produced wine and lived to the rhythm of the moments of glory or misfortune of Cahors wine. The most serious misfortune came in 1882, with phylloxera that began to attack the Clos de Gamot vineyard: Guillaume Jouffreau had just saved the Clos de Gamot vineyard but also the entire Cahors vineyard that will be replanted largely thanks to the clones coming from the Clos de Gamot, a 15-hectare vineyard with a single grape variety, Malbec, on a magnificent clay-limestone-silica terroir, with pebbles and flint.

Clos de Gamot represents today the most 'traditional' aspect of Cahors, having been one of the most innovative in the region. No barriques here; the aging, which lasts about two years, is done only in the 'Foudres' and the 'Demi-Muids', producing wines that never play on the abundance of primary aromas.

					<description><![CDATA[Opus One is the realized dream of two men: Baron Philippe de Rothschild of Chateau Mouton Rothschild in Bordeaux and Napa Valley vintner Robert Mondavi. Together, our founders set out to create a single wine dedicated to the pursuit of uncompromising quality. This singular mission shapes every vintage, today and for generations to come.

The "Opus One" is the result of a careful selection of the best Cabernet Sauvignon bunches, which are combined with small percentages of other varieties of Bordeaux origin. It matures in new oak barrels for about 17 months. The result is a red wine of incredible depth and elegance. Long and enveloping, it probably represents the best that California wine has been able to express for decades.

For more info, visit <strong>Opus One</strong> <a href="http://www.en.opusonewinery.com/">website</a>.

<strong>VARIETALS</strong>
78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot, 6% Petit Verdot, 6% Cab. Franc, 2% Malbec

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>TECHNICAL DATA</strong><br />
Alcohol 14%</p>
<p><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br />
Dark ruby red.</p>
<p><strong>NOSE</strong><br />
The Opus One 2021 effuses seductive, dark fruit aromas of crushed cassis, blackberry, and black cherry with subtle hints of violet, vanilla, and baking spices.</p>
<p><strong>PALATE</strong><br />
Bright and fresh on the attack, concentrated flavors mirror the aromas and are coupled with an exceptionally plush, creamy texture in the mid-palate from the fine-grained tannins. Poignant notes of black tea, licorice, and chocolate lead to a long lingering finish.</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
This bold wine makes a great pairing for steaks, barbeque and full-flavoured cheeses.</p>
<p><strong>AGEING</strong><br />
In new oak barrels for about 17 months.</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
Throughout the meal, Opus One is a wine that goes well with large meat dishes, perhaps enhanced with a sprinkling of fine black truffle.</p>

					<description><![CDATA[The year was 1924. It was the heart of the Prohibition Era and wine’s darkest hour when it was outlawed and deemed unconstitutional. It was also the year the Delicato family first planted vineyards in California and farmed grapes that were sold to friends and neighbors.

Crafted with rich, dark fruit aged in Premium Whiskey Barrels, the grapes for the Whiskey Barrel-aged French Blend were picked at optimal ripeness based on winemaker evaluation, vineyard condition and an eye on weather. The fruit is harvested in the cool of the night and delivered to the winery to be destemmed into fermentation tanks. Once the wine is made, a portion is aged in Whiskey barrels, imparting classically smooth vanilla, toasty oak notes to the structured blend.

					<description><![CDATA[Chappellet is recognized as one of the great Napa Valley wineries, and one of the few which remains family owned. Today, the second generation is committed to continuing the vision of their parents, Donn and Molly Chappellet. Together, the siblings are dedicated to maintaining sustainable farming techniques, a relentless focus on wine quality, respect for Pritchard Hill’s natural beauty and the preservation of family ownership for generations to come.

The Signature Cabernet Sauvignon has been a foundational wine in Chappellet Winery portfolio for more than five decades. It is a benchmark for the long-lived hillside wines of the Napa Valley; full of structure and aging potential, yet seductively forward in its concentrated varietal character. The dry, rocky soils of Pritchard Hill produce small, intensely flavorful grapes. Crop thinning allows for full, even ripening and elevates flavor complexity.

For more info, visit <strong>Chappellet Winery</strong> <a href="http://www.chappellet.com">website</a>.

<strong>VARIETALS</strong>
77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Petit Verdot, 8% Malbec, 3% Merlot

Alcohol 15%</p>
<p><strong>APPEARANCE</strong><br />
Luxuriously dark and concentrated.</p>
<p><strong>NOSE</strong><br />
It displays alluring aromas of cassis, dark cherry, plum, chocolate, and sweet baking spices, with hints of toasted oak, cardamom, clove and vanilla from French oak aging.</p>
<p><strong>PALATE</strong><br />
On the palate, this wine is voluptuously full bodied, with a lavish structure and supple tannins framing the ripe dark berry and black currant flavors. As it glides to a long resonant finish, sophisticated hints of cedar, espresso, cigar box, anise and fresh herbs emerge, adding nuance and depth.</p>
<p><strong>PAIRING</strong><br />
This bold wine makes a great pairing for steaks, barbeque and full-flavoured cheeses.</p>
<p><strong>READINESS FOR DRINKING</strong><br />
