Chilcas Riserva Pinot Noir Chilcas Riserva Pinot Noir $11.00

Remarkable value Pinot Noir from Chile. Shows soft,ripe, round fruit tones of strawberry, blackberries, and cherry, with hints of cola and mushroom, one of the better New World pinots that we found try it for yourself.


Undurraga Sav Blanc Undurraga Sav Blanc $11.00

Nice easy drinking style from Chile. Bright green apple and stone aromas with flavors of white peach, grapefruit, lime zest and just a hint of green pepper. Has a nice round mouthfeel with a clean finish. Much mellower than most N.Z. versions.


Terrapura Carmenere Terrapura Carmenere $12.00

Lovely soft green pepper nose with mineral and an herbal touch blended with tobacco and flowers. Black fruits and dried figs on the nose combine with soft and juicy tannins and concentrated fresh fruit flavors. Fire up the BBQ and grill some steaks or Portobello mushrooms to eat alongside a glass. It would be great with Mexican food as well with its subtle spice notes.

Casa Toqui Cabernet Sauvignon Casa Toqui Cabernet Sauvignon $16.00

The world is awakening to Chilean Cab. This one has bright cassis and blackberry fruit with lots of toasty oak. Nicely balanced acidity with the fruit from a cooler but still sunny region in Chile.


Polkura Malbec Polkura Malbec $20.00

This Malbec from Chile gives Argentina a run for its money. Deep purple in color with an explosively aromatic nose of black currant, black cherry, mocha, clove and cinnamon. This full bodied wine shows the same dark fruit on the palate and an tight embrace of tannic muscle. Really shines with some fatty beef, this wine is oozing characcter.


Orchard Wine Cellar Movers and Shakers This Week

  • Tintero Moscato

    #1 Tintero Moscato

    Sori Gramella refers to the one of the only single vineyard Moscatos, and Marco is the only producer to bottle this striking limestone amphitheater commercially. Once the 30 year old vines give up their bounty, and the grapes are harvested and pressed, they are kept in stainless steel at a low temperature to prevent fermentation until an order is received in order to provide the freshest wine possible.
