1. Sexy Wine Bomb – Red Blend

Sexy Wine Bomb red blend is a California wine that has flavors of warm, juicy red plums, baked cherry spice, and cherry cola layered with vanilla and butterscotch.

It’s got layers of complexity provided by nearly two years of oak aging and precise blending of quality Mendocino County fruit.

The blend includes 38 percent Merlot,  38 percent Zinfandel, 23 percent Syrah, and less than 1 percent of Petite Sirah.

2. Sexy Rosé

A gourmet rosé that is a fusion of leading Portuguese and French varietals that produce a wine with considerable depth and complexity, so attractive they could only call it SEXY!

It has a clear ruby-cherry color. The strawberry fragrance of Aragonez combines with the floral notes of Touriga Nacional while the Syrah gives characteristic delicious juicy red fruit.

The creamy texture on the pallet and a sensation of sweetness is perfectly balanced with a refreshing level of acidity.

3. 2011 Eroica Riesling

The 2011 Eroica Riesling exhibits aromas and flavors of white peach, grapefruit, and sweet lime with subtle mineral notes. The mouth-watering acidity is beautifully balanced by flavorful Washington Riesling fruit.

After more than a decade Bob Bertheau and Ernst Loosen have truly found their ‘Eroica style,’ striving for beautiful bright fruit with crisp acidity and enhanced minerality.

4. Williamson Sultry  – Cabernet Franc

Originally planned for use in their Bordeaux blends this heady,  Williamson Sultry is a seductive wine that deserved to be bottled as a single varietal. Anyone who loves Loire Cabernet Franc or a beautiful bouquet will treasure this wine.

It has style and an abundance of sultry elegance presented in a seductive fashion with an exotic roasted nut and dark fruit character.

Surprisingly approachable because it is so elegant and balanced with rich, rounded dark fruits and mineral notes while ripe, supple tannins underpin the entire taste experience.

5. Hugel Cuvee les Amours – Pinot Blanc

Delicate, subtle, and well built, it makes an excellent apéritif because, although nicely rounded, it is also refreshing. The perfect all-purpose dry white wine.

It pairs nicely with sushi, shellfish, fish, and Asian cuisine.

6. 2011 Château Calon-Ségur

Château Calon-Ségur sells like hotcakes in Tokyo during the week leading up to Valentine’s Day because it has a heart on the label.

Why is the heart there? An 18th-century marquis, Nicolas-Alexandre, owned Châteaux Lafite, Latour, and Mouton in addition to Calon-Ségur. While Lafite was the big seller in London, Nicolas-Alexandre said his heart was with Calon-Ségur.

Made from 78 percent Merlot, 20 percent Cabernet Sauvignon and 2 percent Petit Verdot, this powerful classic, tannic, firm, bright, cassis, spice, and blackberry-filled wine demands a lot of time in the cellar.

7. Cycles Gladiator Pinot Noir

This label’s whimsical illustration of a full-figured, flaxen-haired beauty sailing through the galaxy on a bicycle seems innocent enough (the label is actually a Parisian art poster from 1895).

One hundred and some odd years after its creation, however, the good people of Alabama deemed this nymph’s unmentionables too pornographic for public viewing in 2009 and banned the wine statewide.

Initial aromas reminiscent of raspberry and cloves draw the drinker in for their first taste, where they are greeted by racy acidity and pomegranates.

A playful and exuberant wine, the 2010 Cycles Pinot Noir balances a rich fruity aroma and vibrant flavors across the palate.  A touch of vanilla lingers on its round finish.
