With our new series, “Dave’s Top Wine Deals,” our wine manager Dave Bishop is sharing some great wines at even better prices. Check out his top picks for July below!
Hess Block 19 Cabernet Sauvignon 2013 ($29.99, save $6)
This blend has an opaque purple color, with beautiful aromas of blackberry, licorice and a touch of espresso. It’s full-bodied and concentrated, but with supple tannins and a roundness and juiciness. 93 points Wine Advocate
BV Tapestry Red Blend 2012 ($44.99, save $15)
Considered a superb vintage, a dry, sunny growing season gave the 2012 Reserve Tapestry its opulent, dark-fruit character and lush mouthfeel while five Bordeaux heritage varietals contributed layers of flavor complexity. With nuances of blackberry, ripe plum and rose, this wine is a great value. 92 points Wine Advocate
Beringer “Private Reserve” Chardonnay 2014 ($33.99, save $11)
Aromas of grilled pineapple, ripe pear, lemon oil, hazelnut and toasted brioche create a complex, highly drinkable Chardonnay. The bright fruit core is accentuated by a silky texture and flavors of yellow apple, Asian pear, meyer lemon with a lush, continuous finish. 92 points Wine + Spirits
O. Fournier “B Crux” Red Blend 2010 ($14.99, save $15)
Everything about this Tempranillo-led blend rings true. It’s full on the nose, with clean berry and snappy tomato and spice notes. The mouthfeel is bold, with hints of acidity. Flavors span the red-berry spectrum, and the finish is juicy. 90 points Wine Enthusiast
Chehalem “Inox” Chardonnay 2014 ($15.99, save $6)
The fruit shines brightly in this all-stainless cuvée Chardonnay. Ripe golden apples are at the core, with hints of peach and papaya. It’s a lovely, forward, ready-to-drink style that brings extra concentration and detail that is all too rare in unoaked Chardonnays. 91 points Wine Enthusiast
Cheers!
