RJ Spagnols Restricted Quantity Wine Kits for 2010
New, Lower Prices! Most Varieties Still Available
Every year from January to April, RJ Spagnols releases special wine kits. These unique varietals are available for just one month. Because of the popularity of these wines and their limited availability, sales are made on a reservation basis. These kits are released monthly, starting in January. Both RJ Spagnols and Winexpert are releasing two wine kits in January. We'll post information about Winexpert's offerings as soon as we get it.
These 16-liter kits produce 6 gallons of the best wine that RJ Spagnols offers, and each comes complete with detailed directions.
Each kit also comes with 30 specially designed, full color, easy to use, peel-and-stick bottle labels.
We ordered extras this year and so many varieties are still available.
Winexpert Limited Edition Kits

| Arriving in January |
South African Shiraz |
$137.95 |
This wine has a dense, chewy blackberry, earthiness and robust character. This medium/full bodied wine almost begs for early drinking, with spice and rich fruit, but the bold tannins and rich jamminess (typical of Shiraz) will allow it to improve if aged for an additional 2 years. |

California Lake County Trio Blanca (Dry) |
$132.95 |
A unique blend of three grapes, Selection Limited Edition Trio Blanca is an outstanding white wine that showcases bright fruit flavors, excellent structure, and a long finish. Pinot Blanc contributes the delicate floral character and full body while Chenin Blanc gives a wonderful melony-honeyed aroma with hints of apple. The third grape variety, Sauvignon Blanc, contributes zesty acidity and aromas of gooseberry and herbs. After six months ageing, the Sauvignon Blanc will dominate with zest and crispness. After a year, the Chenin Blanc's honey and melon will come out, and at 18 months to two years the Pinot Blanc will show a perfumed floweriness and lingering structure. |
| Arriving in February |
Australian Petit Verdot |
$137.95 |
Best described as a 'Super Cabernet', it makes dark, rich wines with wonderfully concentrated flavors of spice, blackberry and blackcurrant. With smooth, gripping tannins and an elegant structure leading to a magnificent boldly oaked finish, this is a wine for long term ageing and special occasions. |
| Arriving in March |
Pacific Quartet (Off-Dry) |
$132.95 |
This wine showcases bright fruit, excellent structure and a long finish. Vidal from British Columbia gives spiciness and stone fruit. Chenin Blanc from California gives a wonderful melony-honeyed aroma with hints of apple. Gewürztraminer from Washington contributes lychee, rose petals and floral notes, and Muscat from Australia's Murray-Darling Valley gives wonderful grapey notes with dried fruit and hints of orange peel. |
| Arriving in April |
Italian Brunello |
$137.95 |
Brunello is a large-berried variety of the Sangiovese grape, most famous in Brunello di Montalcino. The flavor profile of Sangiovese is fruity, with strong natural acidity, a firm and elegant assertiveness and a robust finish that can extend surprisingly long. The aroma is generally subtle with cherry, strawberry, blueberry, and violet notes. Medium-bodied but boldly tannic and intense, this gripping wine will begin to open up after six months, but the richer flavors will take at least 18 months to show, with cherry and spice dominating the long, fruity finish. |

Ehrenfelser from Pfalz, Germany |
$119.95 |
| This refreshing white is a cross between Riesling and Silvaner, and the wine is aromatic and very fruity, with peach and tropical notes abounding, with just a hint of rose petal. The flavor is fresh and inviting with mineral notes, hints of orange rind and a lingering off-dry finish. |
| Arriving in January |
Malbec/Syrah from Mendoza, Argentina |
$123.95 |
| A new world spin on an old world wine! This blend of two classic red Bordeaux varietals creates a full-bodied wine with plenty of appeal. The wine is fruit forward and approachable, with balanced toasted vanilla flavors from Hungarian Oak Cubes. The wine hints of cherries and black currant up front, with darker, richer notes of coffee, tobacco, and licorice behind. It's round, smooth, and easy drinking. |
| Arriving in Feb. |
Torrontes from Calchaquies Valley, Argentina |
$119.95 |
| The signature white grape of Argentina, related to Muscat, is one of the "aromatic varietals" distinctive to Argentina, and grown nowhere else in the world. While the wine's bouquet is rich with tropical fruits, honey, and sweet floral notes, the flavor is unexpectedly crisp and refreshing with a vibrant acidity, citrus notes, and a hint of spice with an enduring finish. |
| Arriving in March |
Trio do Vinho Tinto from Alentenjo, Portugal |
$138.95 |
| Aside from its great-sounding name, rolling off the tongue so much better in Portuguese than English (Trio of Red Wines), this dark red wine is an intensely flavorful blend of Aragones (Tempranillo), Cabernet Sauvignon, and Trincadeira. The bouquet is rich with red berries, anise, and black pepper. The palate is layered with complexity: Initial fruitiness followed by notes of mushroom and earth. Rich tannins from the American heavy toast oak spiral and Cabernet GunuWine winery skins help give this wine a long finish. |
| Arriving in April |
Cabernet Franc Merlot from Stellenbosch, South Africa |
$138.95 |
| This wine is rich in every way--deeply colored, aromatic and very flavorful. The nose has green and black pepper and a hint of spice. It is full bodied with a fruit component-cassis, followed by a layer of darker flavors-cigar box and leather. There are hearty, chewy tannins from the GenuWine Winery Cabernet/Merlot grape skins. |
