Sonoma Chardonnay Bargain!
Gary discovered this delicious Sonoma Chardonnay on a visit to California, and brought it back for all the world to taste. 100% barrel fermented for richness and complexity, it way overdelivers on style and flavor for the price.
Winemaker's Notes
A lovely yellow gold color and classic flavors of lemon and grapefruit. The finish is pleasantly spicy and dry. A classic sipping wine, as an aperitif with robust cheeses or with grilled fish or chicken.

Mike Hallock came to winemaking, as many do, in a circuitous manner. He was a petroleum engineer living in Denver when an “urban winery” opened up in downtown Denver, and Mike volunteered to help out. The wine bug bit him hard, and several years later, he purchased the 58 acre Carabella Vineyard in the Chahalem Mountains AVA of Willamette Valley, Oregon. He now farms the vines sustainably, using no herbicides and counting on the diversity of 11 different clones to help him make wines of elegant complexity.
Plowbuster is his second label of Pinot Noir, named for the soil his vines call home. “The earth is littered with bits of steel from several generations of plows,” he says. “Vine roots run so deep that irrigation is moot. There are rocky red soils only a winemaker or a geologist could love. Fortunately I’m both.” An exceptional quality Pinot Noir for around $20, dark fruited, deep and earthy, and from a fantastic vintage for the Willamette Valley.
2007 Angels Landing Jaeger Oak Knoll Merlot
Category: California
Size: 750 ml
Brand: Angels Landing
Region: Napa Valley
Varietal: Merlot
Style: Red Wine
Price: $16.99
Reg: $24.99

A few months back, we got rave reviews from our customers for bringing in a new brand of Napa Cabernet called Angel's Landing. We've long since sold out of that bottling, but we practically rejoiced when we got their Oak Knoll Merlot just in time for the holidays. Now as Merlots go, this isn't the demure "little sister to Cabernet" that many Merlots may be. This bottle, as Merlots go, is a monster.
Sourced from the Jaeger Vineyard in the Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley, this is actually a Pomerol-style blend of 78% Merlot and 22% Cabernet Sauvignon. With its ripe berry and cherry flavors and a touch of cassis, this wine is downright rich with great depth and complexity usually found in wines two times this price. Serve it up with venison, grilled pork chops, veal dishes and turkey.
