98 points Robert Parker: "The riveting 2007 Howell Mountain exhibits aromas of black raspberries, blueberries, crushed rocks and flowers along with full-bodied power accompanied by an ethereal delicacy and sublimity that make it a haunting wine to smell and taste. It should drink well for 25+ years. (Dec 2010)"

91 points Wine Spectator: "Supple, fleshy, elegant and stylish, showing a layered mix of plum, black cherry and cranberry, with touches of spice and tobacco. Full-bodied and complex, gaining body and depth on the finish, where the flavors unfold to reveal touches of herb and mineral. Drink now through 2017. 75 cases made. (11/15/10)"
Producer notes: "Sleeping Lady Vineyard, which sits just south of Dominus in Yountville, rivals the best vineyard ground that exists in Napa Valley, and it consistently produces grapes with a unique purity and intensity of aroma, as well as a beautifully distinctive flavor. The wine exhibits an aromatic and flavor profile of crème de cassis, ultra-dark black cherry, and raspberry, and fine-grained tannins."

91 points Wine Spectator: "A firm, fresh red, with a smoky baseline and balanced flavors of black cherry, damson plum, violet, polished oak and spice. This is structured by bright acidity and chewy tannins that come to the fore on the finish. Best from 2013 through 2023. (10/15/11)"
91 points Ian D'Agata (International Wine Cellar): "Good deep ruby-red. Very ripe aromas of redcurrant and crushed rock, with a red berry liqueur-like nuance. Supple, lush and sweet, but with surprising acidity and a recurring mineral quality energizing the middle palate. Finishes with smooth tannins and very good length. This has the stuffing to age but also offers considerable upfront appeal. (Mar/Apr 2012)"

91 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "[$35 list] The 2007 Chianti Classico Riserva Marchese Antinori is a fleshy, radiant wine graced with expressive dark red fruit. This is a fairly plush style for this bottling, no doubt owing to the personality of the vintage. I don’t quite see the delineation or structure of the superb 2006, but in exchange the 2007 is much more pleasing to drink young. Tobacco, sweet herbs, licorice and dark red cherries leave a very positive, lasting impression. The Marchese Antinori is predominantly Sangiovese, with a dollop of Cabernet Sauvignon from the estate’s vineyards in Peppoli, Badia a Passignano and Tignanello. The darker color and flavor profile and presence of Cabernet relative to the 100% Sangiovese Badia a Passignano Riserva makes the Marchese a baby Tignanello of sorts. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020. (Aug 2011)"
90 points Wine Spectator: "[$35 list] Black cherry and black currant fruit paves the way in this red, with spice and leather accents adding depth. Bright and solid, yet remains elegant, with a lingering aftertaste of mineral and spice. Best from 2013 through 2020. (9/30/12)"
90 points James Suckling: "Beautiful aromas of flowers and berries, follow through to a full body and chewy tannins with a berry, woody finish. Best after 2011. (12/19/11)"

97 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "The 2007 Solaia saturates the palate with a heady array of super-ripe black cherries, plums, cassis, mocha and sweet French oak. There is an exotic quality to the Solaia I find totally irresistible. Despite its considerable ripeness and opulence, the 2007 Solaia is never heavy, rather it impresses for its extraordinary finesse and balance. Minerals, graphite and crushed rocks frame a long, seductive finish. This is a wonderful Solaia loaded with vintage and vineyard character. The 2007 Solaia is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Sangiovese and 5% Cabernet Franc, aged in 100% new oak. Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027. (Oct 2010)"
94 points Wine Spectator: "A racy wine that offers so much currant and blackberry character. Full and very silky. Goes on and on. Fascinating. Best after 2012. (10/31/10)"
94 points Ian D'Agata (International Wine Cellar): "(14% alcohol) Fully saturated inky ruby. Knockout nose of blackcurrant, mocha, coffee and nutty oak, plus strong soil tones of tobacco and herbs. Wonderfully ripe and full but with a sappy menthol lift to the utterly pure, drop-dead gorgeous flavors of blackcurrant, tobacco and minerals. Compared to the 2007 Tignanello, which currently comes across as a baby Solaia, this has more of everything, especially including sweetness and flesh. One of the better versions of Solaia of the last decade: it offers plenty of upfront charm and fleshy creaminess, but it may not prove to be as long-lived as the 2004 or the 2006. (Sep/Oct 2010)"
Three Glasses, Gambero Rosso: "Three Glasses again for the Solaia. This blend, based on cabernet sauvignon and sangiovese with a dash of cabernet franc, offers echoes of currants and strawberries on the nose with subtly fresh, clean vegetal hints. The dynamic palate and already relaxed tannins reflect a style that favours elegance and allure, leading to a long, dry finish. (2011)"

95 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "[$99 list] Antinori’s 2007 Tignanello is wonderfully ripe and seductive in its dark cherries, flowers, spices, tobacco, sage, cedar, mint and minerals. This is as opulent a Tignanello as I have ever tasted but there is just enough acidity and structure from the Sangiovese to keep things from going over the top. The wine’s richness and warmth are such that in a blind tasting I mistook the 2007 Tignanello for a wine from Maremma! The dense, muscular fruit follows through to an impeccable finish with no hard edges and impossibly fine, silky tannins. Simply put, the 2007 is a magnificent Tignanello. The 2007 Tignanello is 80% Sangiovese aged in 300-liter French oak barrels (1/3 new), 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet Franc, both aged in 100% new 225-liter French oak barriques. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2027. (5/11/10)"
92 points Wine Spectator: "[$99 list] Displays sweet plum and berry aromas and flavors, with hints of toasty oak and cappuccino. Full-bodied, yet reserved and fine. Turns chewy and juicy. Best after 2012. (10/31/10)"
91 points Ian D'Agata (International Wine Cellar): "Bright, medium ruby-red. Musky black fruits, cedar, graphite and minerals on the cabernet-dominated nose. Broad and lush in the mouth, conveying a full-bodied, weighty impression but also plenty of energy to the flavors of blackcurrant, tobacco and cedar. Finishes very long and smooth, with extremely fine-grained tannins. (Sep/Oct 2010)"

92 points Robert Parker: "This small, artisanal estate has released a dense ruby/purple-colored 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate revealing a distinctive bouquet of chocolate, espresso roast and cassis. Tight for a 2007, the wine reveals exceptional concentration, medium to full-bodied flavors and impressive purity, length and texture. Give it 1-2 more years of bottle age and drink it over the following 15+. (Dec 2010)"
90 points Connoisseurs' Guide: "[$85 list] Nicely defined, blackcurrant fruit is joined in the nose by a touch of forest-floor spice and atypical suggestions of bacon, and that fruit carries forward into this wine's complex, moderately deep flavors. Already showing impressions of layering as well as a fine sense of real varietal range, this concise, nicely made youngster is fit with a good backbone of integral, well-measured tannins, and it will start to come into its own some five or six years down the line. (Dec 2012)"

Jean-Pierre and Michel Auvigue practice noninterventionist winemaking techniques, and their pure, crisp wines are an unadulterated reflection of each of their terroirs. This wine reveals a rich nose of tropical fruit with toasted notes that follows in the mouth with surprisingly vibrant structure, excellent balance and very good to excellent length.

90+ points Jay Miller (Wine Advocate): "[$30 list] The more internationally styled 2007 Deobriga Seleccion Privada was sourced from a single vineyard and aged for 16 months in French oak. It gives up scents of wood smoke, tobacco, Asian spices, violets, and black cherry. Medium- to full-bodied on the palate, it has plenty of spicy black fruit, a firm structure that should permit another 2-3 years of cellaring, and a lengthy, pure finish. Drink it from 2012 to 2022. (Jun 2010)"
90 points Wine Spectator: "[$30 list] Ripe expressive flavors of blackberry and currant are framed by toast and espresso notes in this dense, plush red, which verges on jammy, but firm tannins keep it in line, with acidity keeping it fresh through the finish.

96 points and 'Top 100 Italian Wines in 2012,' James Suckling: "Aromas of ripe plums and berries and hints of tar. Full body, with velvety tannins and a lovely texture. Fruit and coffee character on the palate. Structured. Classy and powerful. Needs two or three years to soften. Better than 2006. (1/25/12)"
94 points Wine Enthusiast: "Named after one of the most beautiful stone castles in Europe, Poggio alle Mura is a dark and compelling wine that shows a clean quality, a fresh mouthfeel and excellent length. Beautiful fruit intensity with cherry, blackberry, spice, leather and tobacco describe the bouquet. Good aging potential. Alcohol 14.5%. (May 2012)"
92 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "The 2007 Brunello di Montalcino Poggio alle Mura blasts across the palate with a heady array of black cherries, camphor, licorice and spices. The wine possesses gorgeous depth and inner sweetness in a plush, inviting style with plenty of early appeal. An explosive finish rounds things out in style. The Poggio alle Mura was aged in 350-liter barrels. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025. (Apr 2012)"
92 points Wine Spectator: "This lush red is full of sweet plum, cherry, cedar and tea notes, getting support from dense, ripe tannins. The result is a balanced combination of sweet fruit and spice elements on the prolonged finish. Best from 2014 through 2027. (9/30/12)"

Producer notes: "97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc. A beautiful nose showing fresh, dark fruits, a little spiced caramel, and crushed floral notes. On the palate, it's all about the fruit. There's plenty of plum, dark cherry, cassis, and black currant that's interlaced with spice and subtle new oak. Although concentrated, the wine has great structure and good acidity. 420 cases produced."

While neither as charming nor accessible as the Juliet, it needs 3-4 years of cellaring, and should last for two decades thereafter. (Dec 2009)"

90 points Josh Raynolds (International Wine Cellar): "($50) Bright red. Redcurrant and strawberry on the nose, with a lively underpinning of brown spices. Finely etched red berry flavors are given spine by a nervy mineral quality and pick up a rose pastille note on the back end. Finishes with a sweeter black raspberry quality and very good, sneaky persistence. This wine should age nicely on its balance and freshness. (May/Jun 2009)"
90 points Wine Spectator: "[$50 list] Light, silky and inviting, with a gossamer texture letting the delicate blueberry, cherry and nutmeg flavors slip easily through the long, enticing finish. Drink now through 2012. 2,414 cases made. (10/15/09)"
Producer notes: "Our 2007 Willamette Valley wine shows a delicate medium ruby color and very expressive aromas consisting of sweet cherries, a walk through the woods and a splash of white flowers. It consists of wine made from the following vineyards: Beaux Frères, Shea, Upper Terrace, Zena Crown, Amalie Robert and Carabella. The wine represents one of the silkiest and most feminine styles we have made to date. There is no lack of concentration but the equilibrium of all the elements seems to be the cheif hallmark of this very successful vintage. This wine is already delicious to drink now and showing complexity which makes us think that it will be a wine to drink within the first 5-7 years of its life. The balance which is always so critical is there. The tannins are unobtrusive and extremely silky. This is a real crowd pleaser, a very lush and beautifully supple Pinot Noir for the fan of instant gratification."

97 points Robert Parker: "The 2007 Private Reserve is composed of 34% Bancroft Ranch, 33% Steinhauer Ranch, 8% Chabot Vineyard, 8% Lampyridae, and the remainder from St. Helena Home Vineyard, Marston Ranch and Rancho del Oso fruit. A mild spring and summer with only a handful of heat spikes was followed by beautiful weather in September and October. One of the finest Private Reserves made over the last two decades, this phenomenal wine is obviously still an infant in terms of development, but it exhibits a dense purple color as well as an extraordinary nose of blackberries, white chocolate, licorice, tobacco leaf, smoky barbecue, charcoal and a burning ember-like note reminiscent of a Graves from Bordeaux. A dense, luscious, full-bodied, opulent style, with sweet tannin, this locked and loaded, intense, full throttle Private Reserve should be accessible in 5-6 years and last for 25-30. (Jun 2011)"
94 points The Tasting Panel: "Dark, rich and dense with velvety texture and stunning ripe plum, blackberry, hints of chocolate and creamy vanilla oak; long and unctuous with a core acid structure that carries it all unobtrusively; elegant, seamless and masterful: one of the best Beringer PRs in a while. (Dec 2010)"
93 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "($119 list; includes 3% cabernet franc) Deep ruby. Lively aromas of cassis, licorice and violet. Sweet and lush but juicy, with a strong chocolatey character and excellent underlying backbone. Very densely packed cabernet, with suaver tannins than the Steinhauer or Lampyridae bottlings. Finishes with lingering licorice and bitter chocolate notes. A very successful blend: 70% from Howell Mountain, 14% St. Helena, 8% Mt. Veeder and 8% Spring Mountain. (May/Jun 2010)"
92 points Connoisseurs' Guide: "Insistent, very precise Cabernet fruit is the bearing by which this well-made wine steers, and its deep theme of optimally ripened cassis shines through its ample blanket of rich oak and powers on past the youthful tannins that presently rough up its finish. There is even now a sense of precision and style that sets this one apart, and, if never an especially big wine in build, it is very well-stuffed and exudes real varietal confidence from beginning to lasting finish. (Dec 2010)"
92 points California Grapevine: "Medium-dark ruby color; attractive, intense, black currant and dark berry fruit aroma with hints of dried herbs and espresso; full body; big, rich, concentrated, toasty, tarrish, blackberry fruit flavors with overtones of creamy oak; well balanced and structured; full tannin; lingering aftertaste. Shows good bottle aging potential though also very enjoyable now. Very highly recommended. 14.6% alcohol; blended with 3% Cabernet Franc. (Dec 2010/Jan 2011)"

Paul Strang (South-West France: The Wines and Winemakers): "The Barré family has been growing vines at Viella since 1850, and Didier represents the sixth generation... His roguish and teasing manner conceals a deep seriousness for his wines, which are regularly cited as among the best of the region. The vineyard covers about 24 hectares, partly on a pebbly-clay plateau to the west of the village and partly on a south-eastern slope over the east where Didier grows his grapes for pacherenc. Some of his vines go back 100 years."
The cuvee "Vitis MCM" is made with 100% Tannat harvested from vines planted in 1900 and aged in 80% new oak barrels.

93-96 points Fine Wine Review: "The Meursault-Genevrières is pure, lacy, and deep with very fine buttery hints. It should turn into a great or near-great wine with time and is a prime example of why Genevrières is a stealth grand cru vineyard. (Issue #125; 2009)"
93 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(Prost says that Bouchard now owns an incredible 2.7 ha, which would make Bouchard the largest owner, surpassing the 2.5 ha of Latour-Giraud). This offers yet another, and more complete, dimension of aromatic depth as well as a bit more elegance with a naturally spicy and mildly exotic fruit nose that is seductive and pure. The detailed, precise and pure medium-bodied flavors possess excellent transparency and impressive finishing power on the mouth coating finish where plenty of dry extract is evident. Terrific. Drink: 2014+. (Jun 2009)"
93 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "[$110 list] Sexy aromas of lemon verbena, minerals, oatmeal, hazelnut and toast, lifted by a floral topnote. Suave, broad and dry, with the energy of the vintage coming through. Long and tactile on the aftertaste. Winemaker Prost noted that his 2007s typically finished with between 1.2 and 1.5 grams per liter of residual sugar, while the 2008s are a bit sweeter, ranging from 1.8 to 2.7. (Sep/Oct 2009)"

96-99 points Fine Wine Review: "...the Montrachet itself shows pure butter aromas and flavors with finesse, great depth, length, and great bite. It is outstanding Montrachet; for me, there is no single Montrachet reference, but stylistically, I would say this is in the middle, with the richness of the Domaine de la Romanée-Conti at one end and the finesse of Drouhin’s Marquis de Laguiche at the other end. (Issue #125; 2009)"
97 points Allen Meadows (Burghound): "(from a .89 ha parcel of Puligny vines). While not more elegant than the Cabotte, this is quite a bit more complex with a stunning range of fruit, citrus, floral and spice aromas that complement to perfection the very rich, full and strikingly concentrated broad-scaled flavors that are supported by plenty of dry extract that buffers a firm core of ripe acidity on the beautifully intense and flat out incredibly lingering finish. What really impresses me about the '07 though is that despite the impressive heft, the finish remains laser-like in its focus. A 'wow' wine in every sense except for one, which is that this is not an imposing or massive vintage for this wine. Otherwise, this is sensational, especially in terms of its impeccable balance. Drink: 2019+. (Jun 2009)"
94 points David Schildknecht (Wine Advocate): "The Bouchard 2007 Montrachet is scented with peaches, ocean breezes, narcissus, musk, and a hint of sweat, setting the tone for a creamy palate brimming with richly ripe fruit and invigoratingly tinged with salt, sweat, white pepper, lemon zest, and peach fuzz. This is more emphatically concentrated than its Chevalier counterparts as well as -- predictably -- more overtly rich, but less alluring, and lacking the dynamic or lift that made the La Cabotte bottling especially memorable. Still it is formidably rich stuff, which one hopes will display stamina in bottle concomitant with its palate persistence. If I had some, I would not open a bottle for several years and would anticipate a decade or more of rewards. (Dec 2009)"

94 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "The 2007 Roses de Jeanne Blanc de Noirs Les Ursules reveals gorgeous richness in its red fruits, spices and flowers. Today the 2007 comes across as a bit two-dimensional, but much of that has to do with its youth and the inevitable comparisons with some of the vintages that preceded it in this tasting. In time, this too should develop into splendid wine, today it is merely outstanding. Bouchard likens 2007 to 2001 -- another cold, damp vintage -- then adds he relishes the challenge of making wines in difficult years as it is precisely these harvests that provide the ultimate test of a grower’s skill. Anticipated maturity: 2015-2025. (Jul 2010)"

The long finish shows sandalwood notes, with hints of mincemeat and touches of cream. Ends on a briary note. Xinomavro. Drink now through 2018. 300 cases imported. (2012)"
Producer notes: "100% Xinomavro. The 'Grande Reserve' designation is only granted to wines that are barrel aged for at least two years, and then bottle aged for at least two additional years.The barrel aging allows the complexity of the Xinomavro grape to fully show through. Aroma: Cinnamon, dry fig and red fruits combined with complex spices. Taste: Well structured, full-bodied and balanced with intense flavor and a long cinnamon and smoked nuts finish. Although ready to drink now, the wine will continue to develop in the cellar for 12-15 years. Serve with red meat, spicy sauces and yellow cheeses. Alcohol 13%."
