Collectors' Corner Sale
Week of August 30 - September 4, 2010
Casa Lapostolle Carmenere Rapel Valley 2008
91 Pts Wine Enthusiast
One of the best value-priced, big and rich wines you're likely to find. The nose impresses with potent blackberry, cedar and marzipan aromas, and the palate bridges the gap between power and elegance. Tastes great, with herbal black cherry and cola leading the way. Very ripe but really well made.

Santa Ema "Amplus One" Red Blend 2006
91 points from Wine & Spirits
Carmenère dominates this blend in notes of red bell pepper and herbs, augmented by syrah and carignan. It's smooth, the tannins firm and delicate, while acidity accentuates the sensation of delicious juiciness.

Tapiz Black Tears Malbec 2006
90+ Robert Parker
It is a glass-staining opaque purple color with an outstanding nose of pain grille, pencil lead, violet, incense, black cherry, and plum. Firm on the palate with full tannin, it has lots of savory fruit. The wine appears to be in balance but will require 5-7 years of additional cellaring. It is a Malbec that is likely to appeal more to the intellect than the senses.

Casa Lapostolle Clos Apalta 2006
4 Pts WIne Spectator
Ripe and packed, especially for the vintage, with gorgeous blackberry, blueberry and fig fruit flavors liberally laced with bittersweet cocoa and Turkish coffee notes. Muscular but rounded, with briar and mineral notes buried deep on the fleshy finish. An impressive combination of density and purity. Carmenère, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Best from 2010 through 2016."
