Introducing LE17 – Five Remarkable Wines from Five Remarkable Regions Time is running out to order the Winexpert LE17 collection with the order deadline 6:00 pm Monday December 4th. A welcome showcase of popular varietals and unique blends. This vintage collection offers something to appeal to every wine lover. Fruit driven, spicy, floral or herbaceous; whatever your preference, these wines will awaken your palate.

Due to the popularity of the LE program and its restricted availability, sales are made on a reservation basis. The program has sold out the last several years so we recommend ordering the kits you'd like to guarantee that you will receive them. These unique kits are available only for a short time.

Petit Ruby Cabernet - January, Riverland, Australia A true gem, Petit Ruby Cabernet is a blend of Petit Verdot and Ruby Cabernet. The Ruby Cabernet takes the best qualities of its parents, Cabernet Sauvignon and Carignan, creating a structured, robust wine with soft tannins, while the Petit Verdot brings intriguing flavors of dark berries and vanilla. Elegant fruit flavors of currant, juicy plum and dark berries complemented by notes of spicy ground black pepper with hints of herb and vanilla, make this medium-full bodied wine a delight to enjoy with grilled meats. Sweetness: Dry | Body: Medium | Oak: Medium | ABV: 13.5%

Chardonnay Chenin Blanc, Rawsonville, South Africa Permeating the white wine world, Chardonnay is refreshing to layer with lesser known varietals like Chenin Blanc, South Africa's signature white. Carrying distinct cultivar characteristics, tropical fruit aromas marry with baked apple, citrus zest and juicy peach. On the palate, the buttery complexity of Chardonnay is complemented by Chenin Blanc's tart acidity to make a beautifully balanced wine. Delicious to sip on its own or enjoy with food, this is a crowd-pleasing and unique addition to any cellar. Sweetness: Dry | Body: Light-Medium | Oak: Light-Medium | ABV: 13%

Merlot – February, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand From the oldest wine producing region in New Zealand, this popular and enduring varietal produces a soft yet rich and fruity juice that is pleasing to the palate. Ripe fruit with spice and soft tannins take precedence in this Merlot. The lingering finish brings dark oaky spice as well as hints of mocha and licorice. Treat yourself and enjoy. Sweetness: Dry | Body: Medium | Oak: Medium | ABV: 13%

Milagro Blanco – March, La Mancha, Spain Muscat, Verdejo and Sauvignon Blanc are wonderful on their own, but sing when blended. Muscat is fruity and crisp, Verdejo has mineral and citrus notes and Sauvignon Blanc is herbaceous with pleasing acidity. When married, their unique elements create an off-dry, soft, refreshing, fruit-forward flavor with a bright bouquet and complex finish. Milargo Blanco carries notes of passion fruit and white flowers on the nose, and is supported by juicy melon, peach, fresh lime and grass with a hint of honey on the palate. Sweetness: Off-Dry | Body: Medium | Oak: None | ABV: 13%

Negroamaro with skins - April, Apulia, Italy Negroamaro comes from vineyards graced by cool winds from the Mediterranean Sea and the most fertile soil in Italy. The Apulia region has the perfect environment for ripening grapes. Negroamaro, is richly jewel-hued, full bodied and a classic varietal in Apulia. This wine has mild hints of wood and spice on the nose which play with fruity notes for a complex aroma. On the palate, ripe berry is complemented by ground baking spice and silky tannins with a long finish. The wine couples well with many cuisines, but Italian, of course, is a flawless paring. Sweetness: Dry | Body: Full | Oak: Medium-Heavy | ABV: 14.5%
