"Quite Possibly the Best Bottle of Wine you may ever Drink...

Highly allocated, and very hard to get, we only aquired this wine by purchasing it for our private collection years ago, and this is the first time we have ever released it to our customers for sale.."

-Giovanni DeGarimore,

 Owner Giovanni's, STAX Wine Bar,  and Student of the "Court of Master Sommeliers"

The 2007 Clio is in and it is every bit as compelling as prior vintages. [95 pts Robert Parker on the 2006 vintage, 96 pts Robert Parker on the 2005 vintage, 97 pts Robert Parker on the 04 vintage, 93 pts Robert Parker on the 2003 vintage] The consulting winemaker at Bodegas El Nido is Chris Ringland of Barossa Valley fame. Clio is 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 70% Monastrell (from 63-year-old vines). This Spanish masterpiece is glass-coating opaque purple, it exhibits a sensational nose of earth, mushroom, leather, blueberry, and blackberry jam. On the palate the wine is supple-textured, complex, with vibrant flavors of spicy blue and black fruits and a big-time WOW factor. This is a totally hedonistic effort with exceptional length and balance. It is remarkably light on its feet for such a powerful wine.

This wine has a very developed, vibrant ruby-red color in the glass. The aroma is complex and expressive with layers of toffee, black cherry fruit and smoke. A silky mouthfeel with a broad palate of tannins is the heart of this wine and the best virtue of the Cabernet Sauvignon grape.

If you are one of those that believe bigger is better, read on. Appropriately named both for its bountiful bouqet of fruit, as well as where the grapes are grown, our most refined Zinfandel ever captivates the nose with pomegranate, fig, and cranberry. Raspberry jam dominates the mid-palate nuanced by savory butterscotch overtones. Vanilla, white and cayenne peppers, and cinnamon spice makes for a lively finish. Opolo's Mountain Zinfandel isn't known as America's most decadent red for nothing

"One of the finest Champagnes I have ever brought to my lips, Cristal bursts from the glass with fresh hazelnut and apple scents. Elegant, deep, and silky-textured, this medium to full-bodied beauty is immensely concentrated, pure, packed with apple flavors, and astoundingly long in the finish."
