The holidays are over, a new year is ahead of us and yet all we're thinking about is what wine should we have with dinner. Many spring to mind. However, tonight with that juicy New York strip steak and green peppercorn sauce, it's
Finca Luzon 2004 Altos de LuzonOne of many
Duke favorites! This outstanding, delectable red from Jumilla, Spain, merits your immediate attention. It has become a "fan" favorite with
Duke customers and the staff here at the
Duke takes great pride in reccommending it. Powerhouse quality-to-price ratio is one reason, but the main one is that it is simply excellent wine. Many of you have purchased wines from us that were imported by
Jorge Ordonez -
Muga,
Termes and
Sandoval are good examples. Altos de Luzon would certainly rank as one of the
finest values he has ever brought to these shores.
Wine critics agree with us. The Wine Spectator made the 2003 vintage number 43 on the Top 100 List for 2005. Bloggers have noted this achievement and then commented that the 2004 vintage "blows the doors off the 2003." Robert Parker weighs in with, "The seriously endowed 2004 Altos de Luzon is a blend of 50% old vine Mourvedre (52 years) and equal parts Cabernet Sauvignon and Tempranillo, aged 12 months in a combination of French and American oak. A dense ruby/purple color is followed by beautiful aromas of smoky licorice, black currants, cherries, and earth. Offering wonderful ripeness, an alluring texture, sweet tannin, and adequate acidity, it certainly over-delivers for its price," as he awards it 90 points.
Meant to retail at $19.00, the Duke has this Spanish beauty for $15.99 per bottle. You can get 6 or more for $14.99 per bottle. Buy 12 or more and we will knock $2.00 off the our regular price of a bottle - making your final cost just $13.99 each.
