R Wines Evil, Pure Evil and Bitch - $9.99, or Mix and Match At Least 12 Bottles for $8.99
A few weeks ago we introduced you to winemaker Chris Ringland's new venture called R Wines from Australia. The wines will instantly blow you away, both with their creative, unconventional packaging and sensational value. We promise, you have never seen bottles like this before or tasted wine that is this good offered at such ridiculously low prices.
Today's offer features three RP90 point rated wines from R Winery that over-deliver in quality and have some very inventive label designs and names. Thinking about that Valentine's Day gift you waited until the last minute to get last year? Then consider the Bitch Grenache. Just like Grenache can be a 'bitch' to grow and make, so can a loving relationship, but when everything goes right they can help make life pleasurable. Then there is the Evil Cabernet Sauvignon and Pure Evil Chardonnay, priced so your evil side doesn't even have to try to convince you to buy by the case.
Of course, what matters most is what's in the bottle, which doesn't disappoint. At less than 10 bucks, the wines are already an unbelievable deal - but today, we are making it irresistible. Mix and match at least 12 bottles of any of the wines in this offer and receive a 10% discount - just add enough bottles to your shopping cart and the discount will be automatically applied!
Once again, the story of R Wines:

Dan, who's palate Robert Parker refers to as 'brilliant', has been creating and importing top Australian wines for over a decade.

2005 R Winery Chardonnay Pure Evil 750ml - $8.99 Mix and Match (reg $9.99)
Wine Advocate, Jan 2007, 90 points: "The 2005 Pure Evil Chardonnay spent some time in French oak. It is light gold-colored with an attractive perfume of butterscotch, spice box, baked apple, and poached pear, more like the nose of a wine three times the price. Medium-bodied, it delivers intense, ripe, spicy flavors buttressed by good acidity and a long finish. This is an awesome value in Chardonnay. R Wines is a new company founded by importer and marketing genius, Dan Philips, along with co-owner, renowned winemaker, Chris Ringland. Winemakers for R Wines are Chris Ringland, Lisa Wetherell, Andrew Hercock, and John Hughes. It encompasses four familiar labels, Marquis Philips, 3 Rings, Roogle, and Bitch, along with 13 others created especially for R Wines. Needless to say, the packaging of these wines is amazingly creative but, more importantly, what is in the bottle consistently over-delivers from low-end to high-end."
JJ Buckley, Nov 2007: "Light yellow gold in the glass. Fresh aromas; bright tropical fruits. Very lively and rich, with an underscoring of oak. Tropical on the palate as well with some sweet cantaloupe and lemon kicking in. Good acidity makes this an easy wine for foods, as well as an aperitif. Pineapple and yellow pears lead to a crisp, clean finish." - Mike Supple
2006 R Winery Evil Cabernet Sauvignon 750ml - $8.99 Mix and Match (reg $9.99)
Wine Advocate, Jan 2007, 90 points: "The 2006 Evil Cabernet Sauvignon saw 25% of the wine aged in French oak. It reveals a fragrant bouquet of cedar and black currants. Fruit-driven, full-bodied, with tons of flavor, this Cabernet is an exceptional value. It will provide pleasure over the next 6-8 years..."
JJ Buckley, Jan 2008: "Bright purple in the glass. Black fruits on the nose with forward licorice, vanilla, oak and cinnamon. Thick and full on the palate with ripe, chewy tannins and flavors of blueberries, cherry, and roasted coffee. Beautiful round and velvety texture. Stands well on its own." - David Derby
2006 R Winery The Bitch Grenache 750ml - $8.99 Mix and Match (reg $9.99)
Wine Advocate, Jan 2007, 90 points: "Bitch Grenache is sourced from 40- to 60-year-old vines from the Ebenezer sub-region of the Barossa. With the price of Cotes du Rhone soaring due to the weak dollar, I am hard pressed to think of a better value in full-flavored Grenache. The 2006 Bitch Grenache received no oak treatment. Medium ruby-colored, it presents an alluring bouquet of earth, smoke, rhubarb, cherry, and strawberry. Supple, sweet, and tasty, this wine totally over-delivers for its humble price and is an exceptional value..."
JJ Buckley, Nov 2007: "Misleadingly light ruby and pink in the glass this wine is a big fruity monster. Bright blueberry and cherry aromas with a light citrus zest. On the palate it is rich and full, with good acidity to keep it from getting cloying. Big candied blood orange flavors back ripe cherry and raspberry with a light earthy edge to the lingering fruit." - Mike Supple
Vad kan man inte säga till sin älskade genom att bjuda henne på ett glas väl dekanterad Bitch Grenache? ;D
Det är ju inte bara sortimentet som lockar, utan även den (i vissa fall) mycket kunniga personalen.
