Zorzal Terra Unico Pinot Noir
91 Points, Wine Advoctate, 2013 Vintage
Mendoza, Argentina - $22.99
Christmas is all about gathering together with family and friends over tables of delicious food paired with the perfect wines. Here we find a Pinot Noir that is very intense on the nose, a result of the terroir. It presents aromas of blackberries, strawberries and earth, with mineral notes. The flavours are direct, clear, and vertical, and flows with plenty of life and smoothness. It has good volume and great acidity, making it very fresh with a long, sweet finish. As noted by the Wine Advocate "The 2013 Terroir Unico Pinot Noir follows the idea of the Terroir Unico range, to show the pure expression of the grape and the place in a line of unoaked wines. This was 20-30% whole-cluster fermented and is very pale colored, almost a rose, very perfumed, with aromas of red fruit and flowers opening to a light to medium-bodied palate, high acidity (blood orange), and a pure, fresh finish. Highly drinkable." One thing to note is that there are only 120 cases of this limited edition Pinot in BC, so be sure to stock up on a few before it’s too late!

Bolla Creso Red Blend
90 Points eRobertParker.com, 2010 Vintage
Verona, Italy - $39.99
Next up, we have a beast of a bold red that is screaming to be paired with food! The colour is intense, dark, and deep ruby. On the nose are aromas that are ample, complex, elegant and fruit-filled with notes of toasted wood. The palate is powerful and persistent with ripe berries, cocoa, plum and offers sweet, silky, velvety tannins. The wine was aged in French barrique (new and one year old) for about 12 months. Creso is then further matured in the bottle for about six months. This gorgeous wine received great praise when panel tasted with team members of Everything Wine, and is a fantastic Spanish red to gift this holiday season. Enjoy with grilled meats such as steak, pork tenderloin, as well as with a variety of cheeses!

It is full-bodied, rich and certainly one of the best Cairannes I’ve tasted.” - Robert Parker, Wine Advocate. The Cairanne is showing juicy acidity and excellent overall purity, it has outstanding potential and will deliver the goods over the coming 6-7 years. Drink now-2020.

Cubo Seleccion Tempranillo

La Mancha, Spain - $17.49
Another one of our customer and staff favourite Spanish Tempranillos is back in time for holiay git giving! Cubo Seleccion Tempranillo has a slight toasted coffee flavour with a hint of milk chocolate, and a delicious smooth vanilla finish.  “…La Candelaria’s 2011 Cubo Seleccion is 100% Tempranillo aged in French and Bulgarian oak barrels for 11 months and 5 months in the bottle. Cedar, fragrant berries, and incense compose the bouquet of this tasty red. In the glass, a hint of milk chocolate adds a note of complexity. Smooth, savory, and well-balanced, it will deliver enjoyment for another 4-5 years.” – Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. Tempranillos are generally versatile when it comes to pairing with food and Cubo is no different – try a creamy mushroom risotto while you warm up in this chilly weather. Also delicious with hamburgers and steaks. Don’t forget the garlic mashed potato! Rich, juicy, and all things decadent, I know you're going to love this wine. Grab a case of this staff and customer Spanish favourite today!

Orestiadi Ludovico Red Blend
90 Points Wine Spectator, 2008 Vintage
Sicily, Italy - $34.99
This in an incredible wine that is new and exclusive to Everything Wine. With roughly 70 cases available in the province, this unique and rare 90 point gem is a fantastic option to gift your boss, friends, or to treat yourself. It’s an Italian blend of Nero d'Avola and Cabernet Sauvignon, and is a gorgeous premium gift wine that we discovered this year and had to bring in! Even though it's a 2008, there's still a couple years of ageabilty left for this wine. Notes of mint chocolate and hints of spice on the nose and pallet. Wine Spectator called it, "Dark and meaty, with layers of game, olive and smoke to the dark cassis and black plum skin fruit. Rich and chewy, with a long smoky finish." I recommend you pair this staff favourite with a nice Italian dish with spice, red sauce and/or red meat. I can’t wait for you to try this wine!
