Wine # 1: 2012 CHATEAU CLARE-GRAVES- GRAND VIN DE BORDEAUX $13.95/BTL. See pdf

With a hint of toast on the nose, the classic Bordeaux aromas (leather, cherry and brandy) are melted with notes of cedar and coconut. The mouthfeel is rich, chocolaty, soft and round with ripe, fine-grained tannins. It expresses superb elegance with an ultra smooth, long finish, amazing for the money,. Drink 2015-2025. Blend: 40% cabernet sauvignon, 50% merlot and 10% cabernet franc. Chateau Clare has been expertly managed by the Carreyre family for five generations, the intense colour, gorgeous nose and rich yet refined flavours should equate to a $25+ Graves...but guess what, $167 + tax will take home a case of this MAJOR WINNER

Wine # 2: 2014  CAUTIVO JOVEN MALBEC-MENDOZA, ARGENTINA-$12.95/BTL. See pdf 
 
SUCH A FINE REPRESENTATION OF THE MALBEC GRAPE. WE HAD 20 CASES LAST WEEK and THEY WERE GONE IN THREE DAYS. WE WERE ABLE TO BRING IN 13 MORE CASES FROM A DIFFERENT MARKET TODAY.
 
Pretty amazing "LITTLE" BIG RED for ONLY $12.95.
 
A generous, beefy and quite intense Malbec  with aromas of plum and spice, with hints of black pepper, blueberry, clove and licorice. It offers CONSIDERABLE VALUE from the country with the highest wine per capita wine consumption. Partially aged in new French oak, THIS IS QUINTESSENTIAL MALBEC, ripe, dense and chewy with copious amounts of currant, cherry and raspberry fruit framed by a touch of spices and vanilla. Long with silky tannins, IN OTHER WORDS, GOOD JUICE!
