This Just In

Here's our weekly review of new products at Joe Canal's in Lawrenceville and Woodbridge.

Bacardi Mango Fusion

We ought to start with a rum that is all about summertime. Bacardi has created a unique fusion of mango and orange rums that creates an unforgettable taste experience. Mango Fusion fuses the refreshing and juicy flavor of mango with a recognizable hint of orange.

The Bacardi Mango Fusion is currently available in the 1 liter bottle, and it's priced at $20.99.

Francis Ford Coppola Director's Cut Cabernet Sauvignon

Strictly speaking, this is not new to our store. This is, however, only available on occasion, and always sells out quickly.

The Director's Cut Cabernet Sauvignon showed a beautiful degree of richness and structure because of the season’s excellent weather. Coppola added small amounts of Merlot, Malbec and Petit Verdot to enrich the complexity of the fruit profile. Full-bodied with sturdy tannins, deep, layered fruit character, and a lushness on the palate, Coppola Director’s Cut Cabernet Sauvignon boasts a mélange of red and black berry flavors, cherries, cassis, notes of lavender, and a broad range of spices and toasted oak. Will show best with a few years of aging, but can be enjoyed now after an hour or two of decanting.

Decadent and complex, Coppola Director's Cut Cabernet is fragrant with exotic notes of clove and toasted oak. Aged primarily in French oak barrels, this wine will develop further for several more years.

Only $15.99 in the Bottle Club®.

Block 478 Wines

Under the direction of consulting winemaker Alison Crowe, Block 478 wines express the individual character of each vineyard site, resulting in consistent wines from each vintage. Every block of grapes harvested is 10 acres or less; because of this they are able to focus their attention on every vine.

Their minimalist approach to winemaking and hands-on attention to detail, results in consistently high quality wines year after year. Every step of the winemaking process is done carefully. The grapes are sorted 3 times before fermentation: on the vine, going into the picking bins, and on a sorting table before fermentation. The result is the purest expression of the fruit in the wine.

We are bringing in four varities of Block 478 wine: Chardonnay ($11.96 in the Bottle Club®), Pinot Noir ($12.96 in the Bottle Club®), Zinfandel ($12.96 in the Bottle Club®) and the cabernet Sauvignon ($14.96 in the Bottle Club®).
