Have a Safe and Happy New Year!
MERCAT BRUT NATURE
Cava, a Champagne style wine made in Spain, often represent an excellent value compared to their French counterparts. A blend of native grape varietals, this wine offers a rich nose of brioche and pear. The palate is firm with lively beading and a clean acidity framing ripe stone fruit flavors. Ring in the New Year with these festive bubbles!LLAMA OLD VINE MALBEC
Named for the indigenous animal so at home on the slopes of the Andes, this is a vibrant cherry colored wine with violet accents. This is a fruit forward wine with ripe notes of cherries, blackberries and plums underscored by warm toasted oak notes. Full and soft with thick, round tannins this is a wine to warm you fireside this winter.

T-VINE HALLOWED GROUND
A Zinfandel based blend from dry-farmed vineyards, this is a dark and intensely flavorful wine. It opens with a nose of baked blueberries, chocolate truffles and warm, exotic spices. The palate is soft and velvety with berry cobbler, toasted marshmallow and sweet vanilla flavors that linger into a long and appealingly fresh finish.

LO-VE GRENACHE
This stellar Grenache is powerful yet restrained. It is an inky red in color and offers a classic nose of red fruit and dried lavender. The palate is more fruit forward than in typical in Old World wines and offers loads of jammy red fruit, violets and hints of spice. Lush and silky, this is a versatile wine for every occasion.
