RIOJA, Lindes de Remelluri, “Vinedos de Labastida,” Spain, 2010 ...... 60

RIOJA, R. Lopez de Heredia, “Tondonia Reserva,” Spain, 2003 ...... 91

One of the most traditional producers in Rioja, R. Lopez still foot treads their grapes and utilizes their own cooperage for their extended barrel aging of their Reserva and Gran Reserva Riojas—many of which are aged much longer than required, with this 2002 Reserva a great case in point. Showing beautiful notes that only an aged wine can, R. Lopez is simply unique and a producer you will not soon forget.

SUPER TUSCAN BLEND, La Massa, Tuscany, Italy, 2012 ...... 54

A favorite of Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate, always scoring between 90 and 95 points, Giampaolo Motta’s La Massa is a perennial value. 60% with cabernet sauvignon, merlot, and alicante, the wine is concentrated, lush, with loads of dark fruits.

At Dashe Cellars, Michael and Anne are committed to creating wines that reflect the unique soil, climate and regional characteristics of world-class vineyards. Focusing on older vines, steep hillside locations, rocky soils and stressful growing conditions, Dashe zin is then blended with 11% petite sirah giving it a richer, deeper profile. Red cherry and raspberry reverberates on the palate with complexities of mocha and clove.

ZINFANDEL, Turley, “Old Vines,” Paso Robles, California, 2012 ...... 72

Made by Larry Turley and Tegan Passalacqua Turley is simply one of the most sought after Zinfandel’s around. You’d think something that hard to come by would sky rocket in price, but Turley believes in keeping prices low and this value is passed along. Average age of the vines used for this wine is 80 years old and contributes to the layers of deep concentrated flavors. If you love zin and you haven’t had Turley it is a must try. RED WINE
