Ninety+ Cellars, a locally based "virtual" winery, has figured out a way to save you money. They approach wineries that have a track record of earning 90+ scores, and offer to purchase their top wines for less. During these tough economic times, producers discover that this is a great way to sell a portion of their wine without having to discount their own wine label. What's more, the savings are passed directly to the customer so you get an outstanding bottle of wine at a price that's $5-$10 less per bottle than if you bought the exact same wine under the original label.
Quantities of each lot are limited, so act now to make sure you get your hands on some of the best deals you'll find anywhere.
Lot 1: Cabernet Sauvignon, McLaren Vale Australia
Aromas of dark berries combine with hints of earthy richness. The palate is full of rich dark savory fruit leaving trails of dark chocolate, cherries and sweet chalky tannins.
Lot 2: Sauvignon Blanc, Marlborough, New Zealand
The nose is exuberant citrus fruits with ripe melon and guava with some underlying herbal and classic gooseberry notes. Fresh, sweet fruit and crisp acid gives balance and an elegant structure with a smooth finish, a classic New Zealand sauvignon blanc.
Lot 6: Chardonnay, Barossa, Australia 2007
The wine is a complex style displaying rich ripe fruit reminiscent of peach and lychee. There is an underlying richness provided by the time spent on lees. The finish is soft with a hint of fruit sweetness balanced with an approachable acid level to leave a long savory, flavorsome finish.
Lot 7: Malbec, Mendoza, Argentina
This wine has great body, with roundness and elegance. Aromas of red currant and vanilla with notes of raspberry and chocolate are balanced with lush flavors of red plum, caramel and black currant with notes of spices and coffee. The flavors complement the sweet tannins and produce an exceptional wine with fruit notes, and a long finish.
