Halloween Wine Picks
Gambler’s Ghost Cabernet Sauvignon
Gambler’s Ghost Cabernet Sauvignon is from the North Coast of California. This wine is #36 in Wine Enthusiasts Best Buys of 2024 and has been rated 92 points from Wine Enthusiast. “The wine is deep violet-hued with aromas of huckleberry-laced bourbon, black molasses, aromatic florals on the nose. The midpalate is maple syrup-enriched blackberry, black currants, cardamom-scented blueberry wafting into espresso crema and a mouthwatering finish. Pair with your favorite hearty proteins or good conversation.” – Wine Enthusiast
Time Waits for No One
Time Waits for No One is from Finca Bacara Winery, located in Jumilla, Spain. This is a perfect label for spooky season! Don’t let the label fool you though, this 100% Monastrell is delicious year round! Wine Enthusiast has rated this wine 91 points and describes this wine as, “This ruby-colored Monastrell has a bouquet of blackberry, cassis and olive tapenade. Bold acidity and bright cranberry and pomegranate flavors are tempered by rugged tannins and deeper notes of black currant, dark chocolate, coffee and sage.”
Marionette

The fruity aromas of red berries, blackberry and raspberry stand out, balanced with sweet hints of vanilla, coconut and caramel typical of the American oak barrels.

With 92 points from Vinous and 90 points from Wine and Spirits and Wine Enthusiast the Vinyes Occults Malbec is so good it will scare you! “Aged for 12 months in used barrels and is a dark purple hue.The attractively pure, bold nose displays plum, violet and lavender notes with secondary aromas from the aging process.In the mouth, its fairly smooth with gentle, juicy tannins and a tart, precise freshness that lends tension. The 2020 is a rewarding wine.” – Vinous “Enticing aromas of cedar and violets lead to a full-bodied and smooth palate. There is a good amount of black fruit and herbs in this wine. It’s juicy and has a solid structure holding it all together.” – Wine Enthusiast
