Trophy-Winning Rival to Châteauneuf
Taste the red that beat dozens of Châteauneuf-du-Papes at the Rhône’s top show, Le Concours des Vins d’Orange 2012. We’re talking one of only 39 wines (from 2,900 entries) to win a trophy. That’s a pretty big deal.
Here’s an even bigger one: Domaine du Mistral has sent us a limited number of HALF-PRICE three-packs to get you to judge their glorious 2011 yourself. The village of Plan de Dieu lies just north of Châteauneuf. Same grapes here (Grenache, Syrah, etc), same heat-trapping galet stones, same heady mix of black fruit and wild herb flavors too. Much nicer price (especially today).
And don’t forget, if you’re ordering a 12-bottle case of any other wine, your Mistral ships at no extra charge.

Huge Hits from Italy and Portugal
Loved by customers and wine show judges, three-time Vinitaly
Winemaker of the Year Angelo Maci’s chocolaty, plum-laden
Primitivo has scooped over 60 awards in seven vintages,
including six gold medals. One taste of his latest release shows
why. Try serving to friends who normally stick to Napa Cab or
Aussie Shiraz — they’ll thank you for it.
★ ★ ★ ★ “Pleasant surprise … full body, nice finish.”
This newcomer to the ranks of ‘favorite big reds’ is a rare
100% Alicante Bouschet — a dark, brooding beast of a grape,
tamed here by superstar José Neiva. As top critic Tim Atkin
points out, “the Portuguese wine revolution couldn’t have
happened without him.” Expect layers of sweet blackberry,
mocha, cinnamon and more in this Berlin silver medalist.
★ ★ ★ ★ ★ “Primitivo Perfection!! … hands down the best.”

“ Simply put, 2012 will be one of the best vintages California has seen for decades.”

California Gold Rush
The critics are raving about California 2012 and wine merchants across the U.S. are rushing to snap up
the best wines. It all comes down to who you know and the Prospector is an exclusive new release from
Reed Renaudin, one of the hottest talents around.
“Shrewd consumers should be buying them by the case load.”
That’s top critic Robert Parker on Reed’s “exceptional bargains.”
The Prospector blends Zinfandel, Petite Sirah, Malbec and Syrah
(none of them shy on flavor) and delivers mouthfuls of ripe black cherry
fruit, with lovely spicy oak notes. Smooth on its own and great with
rich meat dishes.
Take Parker’s advice and buy this “by the case load” — at a special
price while our first shipment lasts.

Smart Buys from Bordeaux’s Historic 2010 Vintage
Right Bank Beauty Wins Paris Gold Eric Gonfrier made the most of this “remarkable” and “compelling” vintage (Parker), winning gold in Paris for his smooth, oak-aged Merlot/Cab. Packed with plum and classic cigar box warmth. Château Haut Terrasson 2010
Old-Vine, Double-Gold Champ The Brulatouts have crafted top-notch wines since 1961. Their rich, Merlot-dominant 2010 is made from sustainably farmed, old-vine fruit — and wowed judges at top shows in Bordeaux and Paris. Château Florie Aude 2010
Full-Flavored, Double-Gold Gem The Cigana family is known for making reds that deliver big on flavor. No wonder judges in LA and Lyon thought their Merlot-laden red outclassed many far pricier bottles from this storied region. Château Les Marcottes 2010
Barrel-Aged, Gold-Medal Classic 2010 set new records for richness and color, and this sumptuous red won a coveted gold in Lyon. Made by a local star who brings Margaux magic to this small estate, it’s full of berry and toasty cedar. Château Moulin de Pillardot 2010
‘Superior’ Gold-Medal Standout This tiny château is run by a dedicated husband-and-wife team. Their Concours de Bordeaux gold medalist showcases the intense aromas and complex flavors of 2010. Sure to impress guests. Château Loyasson Bordeaux Supérieur 2010
Awarded Gold By a Top French Guide Your second Bordeaux Supérieur (a mark of real quality) is a Merlot/Cab with soft tannins thanks to a year in French and U.S. oak. It won a coveted gold from leading French guide Gilbert & Gaillard. Château La Tonnelle Bordeaux Supérieur 2010
Very limited cases — hurry for yours.
“Rich, powerful wines … a classical Bordeaux vintage,

Saint-Emilion’s Sumptuous RedsTop Tastes from 2009 and 2010 — plus a perfectly mature 2004
The medieval town of Saint-Emilion (where Merlot is king) is home to some of the finest Bordeaux of all. Enjoy rich gems from two of the greatest back-to-back vintages ever, and a 9-year-old Grand Cru that’s just hitting its peak.
Luscious, Top-Estate 2010 Montagne is one of only four Saint-Emilion satellite villages. The Arpin family’s rich, oak-aged cuvée boasts lavish black fruit and a long, chocolaty finish. Château Gachon 2010, Montagne Saint-Emilion
Big-Name 2009 Private Reserve Christian Moueix spent 38 years making $3,000-a-bottle Pétrus. You’ll taste his silky Private Reserve Lussac from the landmark 2009 vintage. J-P Moueix 2009, Lussac Saint-Emilion
2004 Grand Cru Rarity This barrel-aged luxury won a top silver, and is sure to be a winner at your table. Complex forest fruit meets spicy oak and vanilla. Decant and serve with lamb. Château Coudert 2004, Saint-Emilion Grand Cru

Founded in 1821, Château La Gorce is a grand estate in Bordeaux’s Médoc, “the most famous red wine district in Bordeaux, and possibly the world.” (Jancis Robinson) Their luscious 2008 Cru Bourgeois majors on Cabernet Sauvignon, and is rounded out with Merlot and a splash of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.
Barrel aged for a full 18 months, and bottled unfiltered (for further complexity), it was released to gold-medal acclaim at Le Concours de Bordeaux. Bordeaux’s 2008s are drinking beautifully right now and offer fantastic value — especially a fine Cru Bourgeois such as La Gorce (as the above quote attests).
Bordeaux values like this are increasingly hard to come by — so don’t delay.

Refreshing Pinot GrigioPerfect for cocktail hour, the catch of the day or a plate of firm cheeses. You’ll taste two uplifting takes on the lighter, crisp style — harvested at dawn from top vineyards in mountain-ringed northeastern Italy. Then a peach-packed, big-award-pedigree Hungarian. Last but not least: Christian Roguenant’s tropical-fruited Pinot Gris from California’s cool Edna Valley.
Scintillating Sauvignon BlancTop-notch Sauvignon provides intense, thirst-quenching pleasure. We’ve included a premium, citrus-filled find from France’s Loire Valley (Sauvignon’s spiritual home) and racy, tropical-fruited numbers from New Zealand’s two best regions — Marlborough and Nelson (the former a double-gold winner). A zesty exclusive from a top Chilean estate completes your case.

The Reds Everyone’s Talking About“OneofthebestI’vetasted.”★★★★“Cariñena is home to some of the best-value reds in
Spain, if not the world.” A big claim from Decanter. We
think you’ll agree when you taste the NEW vintage of
Xavier Domecq’s BIG and juicy old-vine fruit bomb. ElBombero2012,CariñenaDOC
“Wowsa!Exceptional.”★★★★★ “Innovation and quality are its mantra,” says Decanter of
the Zuccardi family. And customers sure do love their
Cabs. Made with premium Mendoza fruit, their Gran
Selección spent a year in oak for even greater complexity.
AlambradoGranSelección2010,Mendoza
“OneofmyfavoriteRhônes.”★★★★★In excellent 2009, Rhône star Olivier Ravoire selected
Grenache and Syrah grapes at peak ripeness. This gem
won a Decanter gold and trophy for “intense mulberry fruit”
with “lots of silky tannins give a long finish.” Final bottles.
OlivierRavoire2009,Côtes-du-RhôneAOC
“Bigandbold.”★★★★
Argentina’s deep, dark reds are big news right now. Few
are bigger than this favorite from Opi Sadler. An inky-
black blend of Shiraz, Cabernet and Malbec, it’s packed
with black fruit — and is made for your juiciest steak.
TheWaxedBat2012,Mendoza
“Thebestbyfar.”★★★★★Customers can’t get enough of this chocolaty, plum-
laden Shiraz/Cabernet blend from Sam Trimboli
(Australia’s most awared winemaker): “I’ve tasted wines
costing five times as much that were not this good.”

Year.” And he’s the BIG name in Puglia — a region whose reds are “sensational bargains with real soul.” (Parker) His “Super Puglian”

Blockbuster 98-Point Château Lynch-Bages“A wine with great beauty and finesse Such elegance and ethereal quality … The best Lynch in a long, long time.” — 98 Points, James Suckling
Situated on a prime-sited plateau west of Pauillac in the village of Bages, Château Lynch-Bages is one of the Médoc’s most famous estates. Its glorious 2010 scored over 95 Points in nearly every major wine publication. Today, you enjoy access to this rare, collectible Bordeaux Cru Classé at one of the lowest prices in the country.
“An absolutely brilliant wine. 96 Points.” — Parker
Given that you can spend well over $1,000 for a top taste of Bordeaux’s landmark 2010 vintage, this Left Bank gem represents phenomenal value. As Parker notes, this is “a massive Lynch Bages, full-bodied and very 1989-ish, with notable power, loads of tannin, and extraordinary concentration and precision … one to hold on to for 5-6 years and drink over the following three decades.”
If 2010 is a special year for you, this cult Bordeaux makes a very special gift to enjoy over the coming years.

91-Point Saint-Julien Château Talbot is one of the best-known names in the storied Left Bank appellation of Saint-Julien. “This is the most impressive Talbot since the 1982 and 1986. Substantial, sexy, and seductive … a thrill to drink.” (Parker)
Château Talbot 2009, Saint-Julien AOC Grand Cru Classé
Glorious 1989 Bordeaux It’s not often a fully mature, 24-year-old Bordeaux comes along at such a reasonable price. Especially a premium Cru Bourgeois from 1989 — a 98-Point vintage (Wine Spectator). Drinking beautifully now — a real holiday treat.
Château Bel Air Lagrave 1989, Moulis-en-Médoc AOC Cru Bourgeois
98+ Point ‘Super Second’ This Saint-Julien estate is rated one of Bordeaux’s top “Super Seconds.” The 2010 is “a blockbuster, fabulous Ducru Beaucaillou … a wine for the ages … should be at its best a good decade from now. 98+ Points.” (Parker)
Château Ducru Beaucaillou 2010, Saint-Julien AOC 2ème Cru Classé
92-Point Haut-Brion Release From 98-point 2009 (Wine Spectator), this second wine from Premier Grand Cru Château Haut-Brion is “fleshy, rich, full-bodied, but not over the top. A super-duper effort … the greatest since 1989.” (Robert Parker)
Le Clarence de Haut-Brion 2009, Pessac-Léognan AOC
Classy Gevrey-Chambertin Gevrey is one of the most coveted wines for Burgundy lovers. From a lauded, biodynamic estate and IWC “Red Winemaker of the Year,” this ripe, single-vineyard 2003 is just hitting its stride. Full of classic Gevrey power.
Domaine de la Vougeraie ‘La Justice’ 2003, Gevrey-Chambertin AOC
2010 Beaucastel Exclusive A real coup for Rhône fans, from the Perrin family, whose iconic Château de Beaucastel is considered by many the finest Châteauneuf of all. The southern Rhône’s 2010s score 97 Parker Points, and you’ll taste the full richness here.
