Primal Roots Red Blend - $8.99
The true essence of Primal Roots begins with the raw qualities of Merlot, Syrah, and Zinfandel that are artfully blended to create a smooth, full-bodied, sensual wine. The Merlot provides aromas of raspberry, red currants, and mocha along with fine-grained tannins that create a soft, luxurious texture. Merlot is the varietal that keeps this wine grounded. Syrah lends a deep purple color, silky texture, and balanced structure to the wine. Aromas of violets, black currants and a gentle earthiness are accentuated by flavors of dried cherry, dark chocolate, and vanilla spice. Zinfandel is concentrated and rich, yet soft on the palate and loaded with black cherry, clove, and wild blackberry. Known for its spicy characters, the Zinfandel rounds out the wine by adding a touch of warm spice. Read more...

Millbrandt Vineyards Pinot Gris - $8.99
Milbrandt’s delicious Pinot Gris ought to be the poster child for Pinot Gris – one of the world’s greatest white grapes and certainly one of most successful grape varietals now grown in the Pacific Northwest. Happily, the Milbrandt Pinot Gris is anything but dull.  In fact, it’s everything good Pinot Gris should be.  It is bright, crisp, and energizing. It also features a knockout nose and a portfolio of flavors that blossom with each sip.  Apple, nectarine, pear, and white fig flavors come front and center, and are followed quickly by a dry, fresh minerality that adds both character and structure to this wine – all of which we found to be thoroughly captivating.
