Haut Poitou Sauvignon Blanc
Green’s Cash Price: $9.99
Haut Poitou lies a short distance to the south of the Loire Valley, near the town of Poitou.

Angel’s Landing Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2009
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $15.99
That’s right; it’s baaaack…but sourced from different sections of Napa Valley than the previous incarnations of Angel’s Landing Cabernet. As usual I can’t tell you the name of the winery from which it comes. The producer of this wine doesn’t want you to know how cheaply we’re selling it, because it’s a fraction of the regular retail price. They are stuck with excess juice and don’t want to cheapen the brand image by slashing the price far below regular retail, but they are willing to sell this delicious wine very cheaply under a fake label, as long as you don’t know what it is. They want to have their cake and eat it too!
I CAN tell you the following. The wine is made from a cuvee of small lots blended from Howell Mountain, Rutherford, Oakville and Calistoga, so you are getting wine from some of the best districts that make up Napa Valley.
Possesses a ripe cassis aroma, there is rich fruit concentration here. Supple, with intense black fruit flavors, the wine has an impressive mid-palate and finish.
Michael Bishop, Green’s Senior Wine Director

Franciscan Cabernet Sauvignon 2008
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $17.99
“A solid Cabernet, dry and full-bodied, showing classic flavors of blackberries, currants and oak, with hints of vanilla and toast. Feels rich in the mouth, a wine to enjoy through a long finish. Great price, and it could even develop in the bottle over the next few years. Editor’s Choice.”

Summers Estate Knights Valley Andriana’s Cuvee Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Buehler Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2008
Green’s Cash Sale Price: $19.99
“A real steal and one of the greatest sleepers I have tasted from Napa (the Mecca for expensive Cabernet Sauvignons) is Buehler’s 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon from their vineyards in Napa Valley. There are only 1,800 cases of this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon, so this offering is likely to disappear quickly from the marketplace. It offers a dark ruby/purple-tinged color, abundant black currant, licorice and smoky tobacco leaf characteristics, medium to full body, a supple, velvety style and impressive purity, texture and length…”

BV Rutherford Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2008

Following in this tradition, Decoy Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon offers a rich and appealing expression of Cabernet crafted to be ready upon release. Aromas of blackberry, boysenberry, cigar box, toffee and mint lead to fresh dark berry and red currant flavors and hints of dried herbs. The palate is soft and inviting, and the finish offers lingering notes of fruit, caramel and almond.”

Dona Paula Estate Malbec 2010

Don Miguel Gascon Malbec 2010
Green’s Cash Price: $10.99
“The 2010 Don Miguel Gascon Malbec delivers plenty of bang for the buck. It was aged for 7 months in French and American oak and offers up a pleasing perfume of cedar, spice box, brier, black cherry, and red licorice. This sets the stage for a medium-bodied, savory, nicely proportioned Malbec with excellent depth and length. This tasty effort is an excellent value meant for drinking over the next 3-4 years.”

Bodegas Trapiche Malbec Oak Cask 2010

Aged for 9 months in French and American oak, this purple-colored effort displays an alluring nose of cedar, spice box, lavender, and black cherry.

Vinos Sin-Ley Zestos Zestos
Green’s Cash Price: $7.99
“The best vintage to date for Zestos has produced the quality equal to a $15 wine. The key to success for this vintage is the Garnacha. From old vines that are dry farmed (no irrigation), tended using organic viticulture, and sited at high elevation. In the words of Josh Raynolds “[Zestos provides] impressive depth for the price. This wine’s liveliness reminds me of pinot noir.”
