<H1>Stella Maris Red 2005, Columbia Valley -- Wine Thieves Shopping Cart</H1> $26.99 <IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/winethief/images/Stella%20Maris.jpg" ALIGN=right ALT="Stella Maris Red 2005, Columbia Valley" NAME="Stella Maris Red 2005, Columbia Valley" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10> The BEST meritage-style red we've tasted in a long time at this price point! Northstar Winery sources these grapes from eight select vineyards in the heralded Columbia Valley. The final blend of 51% cabernet sauvignon, 44% merlot, and 5% malbec is aged for 18 months in new and one-year-old French and American barriques. This is the kinda stuff you'll want a case of... delicious after an hour or so in a decanter, but even better after a few years in the cellar! Beautiful aromas of cedar, mint, blueberry and a mildly gamy earthiness. The brawny flavors of bing cherry and blackberry are perfectly balanced by the structure and dusty tannin of an ageworthy red. A truly American Bordeaux! <LI>SKU: 88586 00125 Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/winethief/Category12" TITLE="Red Wine">Red Wine</A> / <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/winethief/Category4" TITLE="Domestic Reds Over $10">Domestic Reds Over $10</A>: <A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/winethief/Product343 TITLE="Avalon Cabernet Sauvignon 2006, Napa Valley"><IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/winethief/images/2004%20Avalon%20Napa%20-%20Label1.jpg" ALIGN=left ALT="Avalon Cabernet Sauvignon 2006, Napa Valley" NAME="Avalon Cabernet Sauvignon 2006, Napa Valley" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10></A> <A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/winethief/Product343 TITLE="Avalon Cabernet Sauvignon 2006, Napa Valley">Avalon Cabernet Sauvignon 2006, Napa Valley</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/winethief/Product255 TITLE="Buehler Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2006, Napa Valley">Buehler Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2006, Napa Valley</A> <LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/winethief/Product273 TITLE="David Noyes Zinfandel 2006, Sonoma Valley">David Noyes Zinfandel 2006, Sonoma Valley</A> <A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/winethief/Product17 TITLE="Grgich Hills Zinfandel 2006, Napa Valley"><IMG SRC="https://store.nexternal.com/winethief/images/2003_zin_nv.jpg" HEIGHT=80 ALIGN=left ALT="Grgich Hills Zinfandel 2006, Napa Valley" NAME="Grgich Hills Zinfandel 2006, Napa Valley" BORDER=0 HSPACE=10></A> <A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/winethief/Product17 TITLE="Grgich Hills Zinfandel 2006, Napa Valley">Grgich Hills Zinfandel 2006, Napa Valley</A> -- All of the grapes in this Zinfandel come from Grgich Hills' organically farmed Calistoga vineyard.
