Make Hay with Fall Innovation

September ushers in some exciting new product innovation from CBRANDS, capitalizing on trends in flavor, aging and packaging. Check out the newcomers!

Constellation Brands Monthly Selling Guide

PAUL MASSON APPLE, PAUL MASSON PINEAPPLE: These two new flavors capitalize on the brandy resurgence, leverage popularity of flavored brandies and will continue to grow Paul Masson’s category dominance. CALLIE COLLECTION: Targeted to females aged 30-45, Callie was created for enjoying the moment. The packaging is feminine but bold colors pop on the bottle and shipper.

COOPER & THIEF: This wine intends to be disruptive in both packaging and flavor. Cooper & Thief is a Red Blend that’s aged in Bourbon barrels. Its cask-like feel and unique label will be a highlight amongst competitors. ROBERT MONDAVI PRIVATE SELECTION: You may have already seen the new packaging. This is an exciting innova-tion for RMPS. Boasting a super-premium die-cut label on quality stock and a heavier bottle and broad shoulders, this wine is guaranteed to deliver new quality cues that will lead to a surge in sales.

You’ve heard the expression, “Make hay while the sun shines?” The time is now! Use these new items to set yourself up for a healthy OND.

Michel’s Corner: 2016 Luxury Holiday Portfolio Program

After 22 years we have retired our great Cabernet Day celebration and with much enthusi-asm we are focusing our September through December holiday efforts on the entire portfolios of Simi, Franciscan, Robert Mondavi, Wild Horse and SAVED. Simi Winery is celebrating 140 years of incredible unbroken history. The Winery was founded in San Francisco in 1876 by two Italian brothers, Giuseppe and Pietro Simi, who had immigrated to the United States during the California Gold Rush and moved opera-tions to Healdsburg, California in 1881. It was run by Giuseppe Simi's daughter, Isabelle Simi, beginning in 1904 due to the unfortunate deaths by illness of the Simi brothers. Isa-belle continued to make wine during Prohibition from 1920 until 1933, which she stored in the winery's stone cellars. Simi was one of the few California wineries to survive Prohibi-tion. Enjoy Susan Lueker’s 2015 Sonoma County Chardonnay with true expressions of tropical notes of mango, delicate pear, and bright stone fruit. Aromas of citrus, lightly spiced with toasty oak and hints of buttery cream add a savory character, all farmed from the great vineyard properties of Russian River, Carneros, Sonoma Coast and Alexander Valley. Wild Horse Winery, located in the heart of the Central Coast for 43 years was named for the wild mustangs that roamed the hills east of the vineyard estate. The winery’s commit-ment to a wild spirit has made it a vital force in sustainable viticulture and exploring the best expression of the region’s diversity. Our 2014 Central Coast Pinot Noir has complex aromas of ripe cherry, dark fruit, nutmeg, earth, strawberry pie, and vanilla. The flavors are fresh, balanced, and bright, including lots of cranberry and strawberry. Over 40 years as a pioneering Napa Valley winery, with a rich history and unshakeable devotion to small lot winemaking using the highest quality grapes from the Oakville Es-tates’ has produced Franciscan Merlot, 2013. A warm expression of lovely plum flavors, rich fruits and dark chocolate notes. This is a true Napa Valley beauty, smooth and full bodied with a core of dark cherry fruit with multiple layers of anise, coca and spice. Ex-tremely plush throughout the palate with lots of texture and vibrant notes. All year we’ve been celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Robert Mondavi Winery and Mr. Robert Mondavi, a California Icon of the 20th century wine industry. Our Napa Caber-net, 2014 is everything we love in a Cabernet. This wine provides us with rich texture and silky tannins balanced with fresh, deep aromas of blackberries and plums. This wine entices us with a long harmonious finish. The 2014 vintage is a dream vintage for Califor-nia Cabernets. SAVED, 2013 has produced an incredible red robust varietal blend of Syrah, Malbec and Zinfandel with a touch of Petite Verdot. An elegant rendering of ripe black fruit, it’s a well-balanced, full bodied tribute to delicious Central Coast produce. The wine is an artistic expression of the craft by our inspired winemakers Clay Brock and Todd Ricard and tattoo artist Scott Campbell.
