2011 Château Lagrezette Le Pigeonnier exhibits a dark, deep inky and ruby color. On the
nose, it is powerful and intense – with hints of crème de cassis, licorice and roasted bread.
The wine can be medium to full-bodied – with beautifully integrated tannins.

2011 Palmeri Dark & brooding Red Wine: Young and fleshy. Veils of juicy black cherry,
black raspberry and minted cassis lure you to voluptuous flavors of blackberry, cherry, cedar
and dark chocolate. The finish lingers with vanilla bean laced black currant.

2009 Château Lagrezette Malbec exhibits an intense, saturated ruby color, and offers
opulent flavors of small red fruits with beautifully integrated oak components – layered
with vanilla and licorice. Overall, a well-mastered, well-defined wine. Typically medium to
full-bodied. Complexity, a long finish and great aging potential.

2012 Palmeri Sweetwater Saddle Cabernet Sauvignon: Inviting aromas of fresh cut
cedar, vanilla bean, black licorice, ripe plum, and winter spices. Mouth punctuated by Rainer
cherries and cocoa powder. Sprightly tannins support well-integrated brightness, notes of
sweet fruit and a lingering finish.

2013 Château Lagrezette Malbec Purple the Original Malbec is a deep purple color.
In a modern, smooth style, with plush, black fruit and rich tannins, this wine is ripe and open
– revealing a modern expression of Malbec.

2006 Palmeri Alexander Valley Syrah Van ness Vineyard: Deep and intense purple hues define
the color. The aroma is inviting with hints of licorice, black cherry, violets, and smoky anise.
