Naked Earth 2007 Organic (Vin de Pays d’Oc)
85 Points
“Organic and value priced, this is an attractive and easy-to-drink Merlot-Grenache blend. Cassis and black berry conquer the palate, with traces of bell pepper, juniper and ceddary spice in the background. Imported by Cannon Wines Limited. Best Buy.“

Clos de l’Oratoire receives 91 Points from the Wine Spectator
September 30th, 2009
Cannon Wines is proud to announce that, yet again, Clos de l’Oratoire Rouge has received high marks from the wine press community. The 2007 vintage has received 91 points, continuing a long trend of 90+ ratings since Cannon Wines Limited began importing Clos de l’Oratoire in 1999.
On the 2007 Rouge, Wine Spectator senior editor James Molesworth commented:
CLOS DE L’ORATOIRE DES PAPES
Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2007
“Ripe and full-bodied, with a juicy core of plum, boysenberry and fig fruit backed by cocoa, espresso and black licorice notes. A nice graphite edge helps lends just enough definition on the finish. A textbook expression of the vintage. Drink now through 2017.”

Cannon Wines partners with Bronco Wine to take Naked Earth national
August 18th, 2009
Cannon Wines Limited is proud to announce a new strategic partnership with Bronco Wine to take the Naked Earth organic wine brand to the national stage. Under the new agreement, Bronco Wine will work with hundreds of salespersons across the United States, under its Domaine Napa subsidiary, to promote Naked Earth and the benefits of its organic origins.
“We are pleased with the commitment that Bronco Wine has expressed in spreading Naked Earth’s message of sustainable agriculture,” says Laurent Fortin, CEO and President of Cannon Wines Limited. “We feel that Naked Earth serves as an example that great wine is best made in ecological harmony with the soil.”
Grapes that become Naked Earth Rouge and Blanc originate from the Languedoc region of Southern France, and are certified organic by ECOCERT, the French authority on organic and biodynamic farming. Their certification assures that every grape is grown in respect to environmentally sound European organic farming standards. Naked Earth is also 100% recyclable, from the carton to the bottle, label and screw cap.
Bronco Wine Company, producers of nearly 40 wine brands including Charles Shaw Winery, which changed wine drinking habits in America with a $1.99 wine, is owned by the Franzia family which has made wine in California for more than one hundred and ten years.
Cannon Wines Limited was founded in 1979 to market both imported and domestic premium wines and spirits in the United States. Today, Cannon Wines represents brands from around the globe, partnering closely with its suppliers to create and market successful brands in the United States.
