I am not sure if these still qualify as new since they were both released in June (apologies to Sebastien), but Doukenie Winery has released their new Syrah and Sauvignon Blanc, both are excellent wines.
The 2008 Syrah is a classic Syrah with green pepper and spices on the nose and flavors of dark fruit and chocolate. It has 13% alcohol and is very subtle, with light tannins. Something unique about this Syrah is that 10% of this vintage was aged in Acacia Barrels.
The 2009 Sauvignon Blanc was done entirely in stainless steel. The wine is crisp and refreshing with notes of citrus and, surprisingly, bananas. It is an excellent deck wine, but will hold its own against poultry and fish.
