Red Wine

Domaine de Compostelle Meritage 2020, Pomerol, Bordeaux A.C., France: Domaine De Compostelle 2020 is an elegant and plushy red wine bend of 85% Merlot with the balance in Cabernet Franc. Fragrant with ripe dark berry, spice, walnut and roasted coffee aromas and flavours, the wine is dry, full-bodied and framed with velvety tannins. Delish now, but try it in 2026 when it will show its best through 2033. Château La Cabanne's second wine is Domaine de Compostelle and is produced from younger vines. Meritage food pairings: pork tenderloin, filet mignon, duck confit. Drink: 2026 - 2038 38200 14.5% XD 750 mL $61.95 Score: 94/100. September 2026. Top Rated Red Wine Full Review Add to Shopping Cart

Sparkling Wine

Cygnus Sador Organic Brut Nature 2022, Penedès D.O., Spain: Toasty and earthy rather than fruity Spanish sparkling wine. Still refreshing at an exceptional price. Cava is the Spanish term for bubbly and translates to "cave." Buy by the caseload for holiday parties. Love the refreshing acidity here to enjoy this wine as an aperitif or companion to fried chicken. This sparkler is a blend of 40% Parellada, 30% Macabeo and 30% Xarello grapes and the producer uses the classic Champagne method for the second fermentation in the bottle. Food pairings: turkey, cheese, shellfish. Drink: 2026 - 2028 352856 11.5% XD 750 mL $19.95 Score: 91/100. September 2026. Best Value Sparkling Wine Full Review Add to Shopping Cart
