In mid-July, the Sutton Place Wine
Merchant will
receive early release
of several
2005 Bordeaux wines.
Not only will the 2005 Bordeaux

in Vancouver, but
these fine wines
will also
be virtually exclusive to the Sutton Place
Wine Merchant.
"We are proud and honoured to have
the opportunity to showcase
these select wines
in our Wine
Merchant," says Cosmo Piccirilli,
Manager of the Sutton Place Wine
Merchant.
"The exclusive

Sainte Estephe AOC
2005
Now under the same

selection took place
for the top wine.
The final blend of
59% Cabernet
Sauvignon, 32%
Merlot, and 9%
Petit Verdot has
resulted in a dark
ruby-colored wine
displaying earthy,
herbal, black
currant notes,
medium body and
tremendous
complexity and
depth.
