Description<p>Our Premium Holiday Wine Collection contains a sampling of premium wines from around the world....a delicious blend of Cabernet & Merlot from France, a Tawny Port from California, an Australian Chardonnay, a Rousane & Torrontes from France and to top it all of, a Bordeuax.</p><p>This collection contains two bottles each of the following wines*:</p><p><strong>Vignerons de Buzet 2008 La Fleur Red</strong><br />Their wines are made by a very small number of producers, notably the Vignerons de Buzet co-operative who produce the vast majority of these wines. This co-operative has been making its own barriques for over sixty years, which enables it to give its wines the high quality oak maturation associated with the more expensive wines of Bordeaux. The use of Merlot to produce softer, more approachable wines is increasing as the modern consumer demands more supple, younger-drinking wines.</p><p><strong>Arnold Palmer 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon</strong><br />The 2009 Arnold Palmer Cabernet Sauvignon has aromas of plump dark plums and cherries. The flavors of the wine hint of mint while filling the mouth with raspberry candy, dark chocolate, and espresso. The finish has elements of dark fruit, integrated with an elegant tannin structure.</p><p><strong>Maison 2545 2008 Roussanne, Vin de Pays d'Oc</strong><br />Wines like this are what you're likely to see in any simple neighborhood wine shop in Paris. Food-friendly, and a real steal too!</p><p><strong>Grass Tree 2009 South Eastern Australia Chardonnay</strong><br />Aromas of tropical fruits. Citrus blossom with a hint of lifted vanilla. Palate displays soft fruit flavors of melon and tropical fruits with a crisp citrus finish and generous length.</p><p><strong>Maison 2545 2009 Roussanne, Vin de Pays d'Oc</strong><br />Roussanne is a fragrant white grape found predominantly in the northern Rhône but also in the top estates of the South. Although it is often blended with Marsanne, here it stands alone in all its glory, displaying a bouquet of acacia flowers and tropical fruit in a round, delicate wine.</p><p><!-- <strong>Robert 2008 Mondavi Momentum</strong></p><p>Each red grape variety offers its unique profile to this wine, creating a complex array of aromas and flavors. A blueberry base note is complemented by licorice, cassis and graphite. Hints of dried herb linger on a lively palate. The structure and flow is a perfect balance between Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon textures. Earned a 93-point rating from Wine Enthusiast and regularly retails at $50 a bottle.</p>--></p><hr /><div align="center"><h2 style="text-align: left">Our 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.</h2><p style="text-align: left"><img alt="100% Guarantee" src="/assets/client/Image/guarantee.png" style="margin: 5px 10px; width: 77px; float: left; height: 80px" />At Winetasting.com, we guarantee every wine we sell.
