Allée Bleue 2008 Starlette Blanc White (Western Cape)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $13
This blend of Sauvignon Blanc, Chenin Blanc and Garnacha Blanc is a good-to-go white with fruity, spicy aromas and creamy flavors of pineapple, pear and tropical fruit. A friendly midpalate and spicy finish give it dimension. Its versatile character is good for myriad foods—from creamy cheeses to fresh seafood. Or, sip it alone—it has enough going for it on it own.  — S.K.  (3/1/2009)

Allée Bleue 2007 Starlette Rouge Red (Western Cape)

  • Online Exclusive
  1. $13
A nose of peppery, spiced meat and smoke leads into this savory, spicy red. A full, appealing mouthfeel gives the wine character, but the flavors are a touch rustic. Needs more balance and finesse, but overall, a good everyday sip.  — S.K.  (9/1/2009)
