Lovingston Wahoo White 2010 – $13.99

(100% Chardonnay; Monticello, Virgina)

The 2010 vintage of the Wahoo White is 100% unoaked Chardonnay, with a bright citrus nose and a clean, crisp palate. Fresh acidity balance with subtle lemon and apple notes that finish with a hint of green grass reminiscent of Sauvignon Blanc. A good deal of CO2 provides a surprising textural quality.

Tilia Torrontes 2010 – $9.99

(95% Torrontes, 5% Viognier; Salta, Argentina)

“Torrontés is the unique, fragrant white wine of Argentina, cultivated there since the day of the Conquistadors. Tilia Torrontés captures all of the aromatic characteristics of this Argentine grape, with lively notes of citrus and peach fruit interwoven with delicate layers of jasmine blossom and fresh herbs. The wine is light and fresh on the palate with excellent balance and a bright, crisp acidity.”

Vega Tolosa 11 Pinos Bobal VV 2010 – $11.99

(100% Bobal; Manchuela, Spain)

“The wine is produced from our 50 acres of Bobal vines averaging 80 years of age and more. It expresses aromas and flavors of mountain herbs, minerals, and red fruit and has a lengthy, refreshing finish. The wine is an ideal partner to grilled meat and poultry. The wine's name, 11 Pinos, refers to the name of one of our vineyards and to the typical landscape of our wine region where a small forest of pine trees has grown up among the vineyards. A pure expression of the Bobal grape with its wild cherry and wild raspberry notes, along with herbs such as chervil and tarragon, this wine is free of the uber-ripe treatment that Bobal so often receives. The tannins are a bit dusty, but that too is Bobal’s proclivity, and if the wine lacks a bit of acidity, it makes up for it in tannin and spicy currant notes at the finish. Drink soon or in the next few years.” – The winery
