We Couldn’t Decide Which “Hidden Treasure” To Include In This Sixpack So We Are Letting You Choose
Emiliana “Natura” Sauvignon Blanc (suggested retail $12.99) Emiliana’s Organic wines are certified by IMO of Switzerland. These wines with tremendous character and personality are made with great respect for the environment. No pesticides are used in the vineyards, which are worked with an eye toward increasing their biodiversity. The IMO certification guarantees that Emiliana complies with the world’s strictest standards for the organic food production. This Sauvignon Blanc is clean and clear light greenish-yellow in color with a highly complex nose. Aromas of boxwood and herbs meld with lime and citrusy grapefruit notes. The boxwood and grapefruit reemerge on the palate and underscore the wine’s freshness, balanced acidity, and good volume. A refreshing, pleasing wine.
Domaine du Vieux Chene “Cuvee d’ Or” (suggested retail $11.99) In the heart of Provence, in the famous sunny Cotes du Rhone, lies the Domaine du Vieux Chene winery. Beatrice and Jean Claude Bouche, the owners, are impassioned wine-makers. Together they manage their vineyards Cotes du Rhone winesusing organic farming methods, creating organic wines of great character. This wine is a soft, supple blend of 50% Chardonnay, and 50% of the native Rhone Varietal, Roussanne. Pale golden yellow color. Honeysuckle, spice, praline, baked apple aromas. A brisk, soft entry leads to a dryish medium body of spice apple and pear tart and lemon marmalade flavors.

It is an attractive pale color typical of southern French Rosé; slightly salmon pink with silvery hints. Up-front, the nose shows plenty of rich sweetness red currants and gooseberry and finishes with a lingering strawberry flavor. This is the ultimate summer wine that is very versatile. It is great by itself as a “summer sipper”, or with a variety of food off the grill or out of the garden.
Claude Val “Vendanges” Red Blend from Languedoc (suggested retail $9.99) This great value southern France red is a classic blend consisting of 50% Grenache, 20% Merlot, 20% Syrah, and 10% Carignan. Grown in the Aude Valley of the Languedoc, Claude Val is the perfect balance between “Old World” and “New World” styles. It is a vibrantly fruity, well-balanced and rounded wine, with raspberry and floral notes on the nose and palete. Great with any “Tuesday night” meal, pizza, burgers or anything off the grill.
Emiliana “Natura” Carmenere (suggested retail $12.99) 20% of this IMO Certified Organic wine is aged in French oak barrels for 6 months for additional character. It exhibits a deep ruby-red color, with light notes of cherries that combine elegantly with a spicy touch of black pepper, which adds pleasing aromatic complexity. On the palate, the tannins are firm and the acidity bright, resulting in a fresh and juicy wine with a very good finish. This Carmenere is an excellent choice for red or white meats, pastas, pizza, spicy dishes and cheeses. It also goes great with dishes such as meat croquettes, legumes, veal, glazed pork leg, rice with nuts and dried fruits, and stuffed mushrooms.
Treasure Hunter Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, or Pinot Noir (suggested retail $24.99) Treasure Hunter Wine is put through a pain staking examination process from a panel made up of top sommeliers, winemakers, and restaurateurs. They pour through hundreds of wines and select the best available. These wines are “negociant wines” – meaning they don’t make these wines, they buy them from other well known top wine producers, which often have excess supply. Rather than bottle too much wine or try to lower their well-deserved price, they let it be sold under the Treasure Hunter label. It is a win-win situation. The consumer gets a great wine and the winery doesn’t lose their reputation or lower the prices of their flagship brands. One of the following wines is included with this sixpack; 2008 St. Helena Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon, 2009 Sonoma County Merlot, or 2007 Napa Valley Merlot.
