Fine Wines Under $15!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3 CALIFORNIA SELECTIONS

Castle Rock Sonoma County Pinot Noir 2007
$13.99

I have always been a fan of Pinot Noir, so it was nice
to find two that give great Pinot character at a very
affordable price.

The first one, Castle Rock, is made entirely from
Pinot Noir grown in Sonoma County. Here, the cool
breezes from the Pacific Ocean make for ideal growing
conditions. This is a full bodied, yet elegant Pinot Noir
bursting with ripe fruit. Flavors of plum and black cherry
are complemented by aromas of red fruits and spice.
There is a hint of oak which gives nice balance.

Mark West California Pinot Noir 2007
$13.99

Mark West Winery specializes in Pinot Noir. This wine
is a crowd pleaser. It has a dark red color with plenty of
intense fruit and a nice spicy aroma from aging in French
and Hungarian oak for 8 months. It is full bodied and has
a long, pleasant finish.

Hart & Mc Garry Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
$12.99

I cannot remember the last time I saw a Napa Valley Cabernet
Sauvignon for $13. I thought to myself, what do I have to lose?
How could I go wrong with a Napa Valley Cabernet from an
excellent vintage?

What a pleasure this wine is. Aromas and flavors of black
cherries and raspberries are balanced with medium tannins
and a velvety finish. I highly recommended this to anyone
who enjoys a full bodied Cabernet.
