A Trifecta of Closeouts!  So nicely priced, you'll want to try all three.

We love a good closeout, and right now, we are fortunate enough to have found three sure to please the red-wine lover in you. Our distributors are trying to make room in their warehouses to stock up for the holidays, so we can buy great wines at low, low prices and pass the savings on to you. Here's what we have in our stores right now.
Trapiche Pinot Noir Mendoza 'Broquel', 2010
Was $19.99, NOW $8.99
From vineyards situated at 1150 meters above sea level in the Uco Valley of Mendoza, Argentina, comes this 100% Pinot Noir. It is a toasty and expressive style, with intense cherry, plum and spice notes on the nose and palate. A fleshy wine, it shows impressive depth on the finish. Great with lighter meats, such as veal or chicken, or with meatier fish, such as salmon.

Marchesi de Frescobaldi Rosso di Montalcino Castelgiocondo 'Campo ai Sassi' 2007
Was $26.99, NOW $10.99
100% Sangiovese from Tuscany's Rosso di Montalcino DOC, this wine displays the same characteristics you might find in a great Brunello, but in a more youthful, less complicated manner. Younger vineyard plantings are utilized, yielding a wine that is aromatic, elegant, and less tannic than Brunello. This bottling is full of cherry character, with signature notes of leather and licorice. This one is quite approachable now, or could cellar another 2-3 years. A real treat for pizza or pasta night that won't break the bank.

Pulenta Estate Malbec I 2010
Was $26.99, NOW $12.99
100% estate grown, high elevation Malbec from Mendoza's Uco Valley, this wine expresses intense and unmistakable fruity notes of plum and strawberry, with notes of lilac and vanilla. Elegant and full of character, this wine is drinkable now, or cellar worthy. Try with a nice, juicy ribeye steak.
