Something New

Sometimes the decision is out of our hands, but our inventory is constantly changing. New vintages replace the old, different size bottles arrive, new wineries arrive in NJ and others leave. We hope that you never get tired of the varied selection at Joe canal's in Lawrenceville and Woodbridge.

Here is a sampling of our just-arrived, or just-about-to-arrive, products. We can't list everything here, so if you're looking for new products in the store, please ask an associate for assistance.

Limerick Lane Russian River Valley Zinfandel, 2012

Limerick Lane is a thirty acre estate located in the north east corner of the Russian River Appellation, just south of the town of Healdsburg. The estate was first planted to grapes in 1910. In recent years, they were selling the grapes as vineyard designates to several well known local wineries, including De Loach, Chateau Souverain, Ravenswood, Davis Bynum and Gary Farrell. The quality of the wines and reputation of the iconic Collins Vineyard quickly established Limerick Lane as a premier site for growing Zinfandel and Rhone varieties in Sonoma County. In 1986, the first estate wines were produced under the Limerick Lane label. The subsequent quality of the wines produced solidified Limerick Lane’s reputation as one of Sonoma County’s premier producers as well.

This 2012 Zin rated 94 points from Wine Spectator. "A knockout Zinfandel, balancing an opulent texture with great focus and depth. Aromas of rose petal and raspberry lead to rich and layered flavors of cherry, herbes de Provence and cracked white pepper. Finishes with a bounce of acidity and ripe, lively tannins. Drink now through 2020."

Only $29.99 in the Bottle Club®.

                    Stags' Leap Winery The Investor

Captivating for its fresh, lush fruit, elegance and classic balance, the inaugural release of The Investor brims with bright red fruit, blackcurrant, plum and blackberry. A savory, herbal flavor, with hints of spicy vanilla bean, sweet tobacco and sandalwood, add depth and complexity. The tannins are firm, but velvety, and this red blend is impressive for its power, finesse and integrity. 38% Petite Sirah, 38% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon.

"Named after the founder of Stags Leap Winery, the outstanding 2012 Proprietary Red The Investor is a blend of 40% Merlot, 40% Petite Sirah and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon. Ripe blackberry and blackcurrant fruit intermixed with notions of chocolate, lavender, unsmoked cigar tobacco and underbrush are present in this meaty, chewy, attractive, velvety textured 2012. Enjoy this well-made red over the next decade." - 90 points, Wine Advocate.

Available in very limited quantities for $46.99.

Cheers!
