Santa Ema Reserve Merlot

From Maipo Valley of Chile. A ruby red color. Unique and unmistakable, in this wine you will find red berry fruit with chocolate and toasted coffee notes. On the palate, the fruit is interweaved with toffee notes; the tannins appear mature, giving a good structure, balance and roundness.

Wine of The Week

Budini Chardonnay

An explosive effort, the Budini Chardonnay is as appealing an effort as one can find in marketplace; long and tasty with excellent depth of fruit. Tropical fruit and lemon aromas combined with gentle oak notes to provide an alluring complexity. It is medium-bodied and has well-balanced acidity with hints of lemon and pineapple fruit that lead to a dry, crisp finish. There is just a kiss of oak flavor that frames the fresh fruit flavors. It is a bright, crisp and captivating young wine to enjoy by itself or paired with chicken, pork and seafood.
