Altamura Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2006 (308042)

750ml

$76.99

WS 94

RP 94

In stock, 12+ available

94 points Wine Spectator: "A brilliant 2006, with gorgeous, rich, supple and juicy blackberry-laced Cabernet flavors that are bold and intense, yet supple and refined, with complex mocha, roasted herb, espresso and anise flavors that combine power with finesse. Drink now through 2020. Highly Recommended. (5/31/10)"

94 points Robert Parker: "The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) possesses aromas of creme de cassis, white chocolate, espresso roast, dusty, loamy soil, and a full-bodied structure. With rich, powerful flavors that cascade over the palate as well as beautiful purity and depth, it will be even better with another 2-4 years of cellaring, and is capable of lasting 20-25 years. (Dec 2009)"

Alysian Chardonnay RRV Cresta Ridge Vineyard Taurin Block 2007 (308096)

750ml

$34.99

CG 91

In stock, 12+ available

91 points Connoisseurs' Guide: "From the very first sniff through to its long, crisply balanced finish, this vital, carefully structured young wine exhibits a particularly fine sense of proportion as regards its mix of perfectly ripened apples, toast and creamy oak. As rich as it may be, however, it possesses a real sense of refinement and grace, and, while there should be no absolutely doubts about its ability to grow into better with time, we admit that it will be tempting to pull a few corks early on. (Nov 2009)"

Producer notes: "Purchased and developed by Gary & Debbie Farrell in 1999, Cresta Ridge Vineyard is highly coveted for its cool, Green Valley location and highly desirable Goldridge soils. The 'no expense spared' approach to development, included matching devigorating rootstocks with low-yielding clones and close vine-spacing; 'stressing' the plants into producing small quantities of very high quality fruit. Wines produced from the Taurin Block (Gary’s favorite) have proven successful, receiving 90+ ratings year after year.

Tasting notes: Classic aromas of fresh lemon grass, citrus and green apple exude from this brilliantly clean wine. On the palate, flavors mirror aromatics, but are infused with a classic, elegant minerality and subtle spicy-oak nuances. This wine is built on a platform of structural integrity; and while its generous fruit profile always commands center stage, it is the supporting acidity and lower alcohol that allows that fruit to build and retain its "leading role" through the long, refreshing finish. Aged in 100% French oak (45% new) for 10 months. 50% ML fermentation (in barrel). 14.1% alc. 469 cases produced."

Alysian Pinot Noir RRV Floodgate Vineyard West Block 2007 (308099)

750ml

$48.99

In stock, 12+ available

List $55.00

Producer notes: "Bill and Sally Hambrecht purchased this Forestville property in 1999. It is located in an area of Russian River Valley referred to as the 'Middle Reach,' where the region's most prestigious vineyards reside. The West Block (planted in the early-1970's) is one of the oldest known plantings of pinot noir in California. Though producing less than one ton per acre, winemaker Gary Farrell insists the vineyard be preserved... not only for its historical significance, but the astounding quality and impeccable structure of wines produced from these thirty five year old vines.

The youthful, purple-tinged color of this wine hints of its adolescence; as do the incredibly deep aromas of violet, fresh blackberry and dark stone fruits. On the palate, wild berry and black cherry flavors expand and become quite exotic; with nuances of enriching oak and spice. The vineyard's contribution of structure becomes quite evident as the flavors build with vibrant, precise acidity and supportive fine-grain tannins. Though enjoyable now for its youthful, uninhibited charms, this wine promises a tremendous future for those who resist the temptation of early consumption. Barrel aged 13 months in 100% French oak (50% new). ML fermentation in barrel. 14.3% alc. 444 cases produced."

Alysian Pinot Noir RRV Hallberg Vineyard Crossroads 2007 (308098)

750ml

$48.99

In stock, 12+ available

List $55.00

PinotFile: "[$55 list] 14.2% alc., pH 3.41, 230 cases. Hallberg Vineyard is located in the Green Valley AVA. This vineyard was developed in 2000 by Kirk Lokka, a skilled viticulturist. Dijon clones 777 and 828. 100% destemmed. Aged 14 months in 45% new French oak barrels. Shy dark stone fruit aromas emerge slowly in the glass offset by scents of oak and toasted brioche. With patient swirling, a tasty array of earth-infused blackberry and plum fruit emerges backed by a hint of lemon zest most evident on the crisp finish. A big-boned wine balanced nicely by lively acidity and very silky in the mouth. Tasted much better 8 hours later. (6/10/10)"

Producer notes: "Hallberg Vineyard is ideally situated in the Green Valley sub-appellation of the Russian River Valley just north of Sebastopol. This area is highly desirable for Pinot Noir cultivation due to its cool, breezy climate and prized Goldridge sandy-loam soils. Many of the region's most respected and decorated vineyards reside in this area. This vineyard was developed 10 years ago by Kirk Lokka, one of Sonoma County's most dedicated and highly skilled viticulturists. His commitment has always been clear... to grow the highest quality fruit possible at any cost. While his fruit is some of the most costly in the region, it is always among the best.

Tasting notes: Deep, succulent blackberry-blueberry aromas lead to rich and expansive dark-fruit flavors, which are framed by lavish oak and mediumfirm tannins. Though this wine never strays from its varietal identity, it displays a bit more extract and substance than is typical of our style. This is certainly not a negative, as all that flamboyance is kept in check beautifully by modest alcohol, low pH and generous acidity. This would be an ideal companion to lamb or spicy meat dishes. Barrel aged 14 months in 100% French oak (45% new). 14.2% alc. 230 cases produced."

Alysian Pinot Noir RRV Russian River Selection 2007 (308097)

750ml

$34.99

CG 91

In stock, 12+ available

List $48.00

91 points Connoisseurs' Guide: "[$48 list] Gary Farrell is the hand behind the new Alysian label, and the wines predictably sport the restraint and refinement that have traditionally been Mr. Farrell's forte. This rich, but decidedly lively, bottling displays ample red-cherry fruit and is deftly highlighted throughout with creamy oak. While it is arguably just a touch tight at the finish, its firmness in no way implies thinness, and there is real potential for four or five years of very positive growth. (Oct 2009)"

Producer notes: "Alluring scents of lavender, blueberry and spice lead to cascading flavors of dark berries, pomegranate and wild plum. Flavors continue to build and intensify on the palate, and though blackberry/raspberry fruit remains the focus, spice and lavish oak elements add amazing depth and richness to the experience. It’s the finish, however, that ultimately substantiates the wine’s credibility; as correct tannins and crisp acidity provide the structural integrity and balance required for long-term cellaring and a refreshing, vibrant finish. Aged in 100% French oak (45% new) for 10 months. ML fermentation in barrel. 14.2% alc. 1,524 cases produced."

Amisfield Pinot Noir Central Otago 2007 (308081)

750ml

$26.99

WE 92

WS 90

In stock, 12+ available

List $45.00

92 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$45 list] Amisfield has been on a hot streak, and the 2007 continues that roll. The aromas show wonderfully high-toned cherry fruit, with a slightly herbal element that adds welcome complexity. In the mouth, the wine is full-bodied and richly textured, with its black cherry fruit framed by a hint of vanilla. Long and lush on the finish, this looks to be at its best now and for the next several years. (Mar 2009)"

90 points Wine Spectator: "Bright and focused, with a lively balance of acidity to the ripe currant and floral flavors, persisting nicely on the finish. Best from 2010 through 2015. (4/30/09)"

Aphillanthes Côtes du Rhône-Villages Cuvée des Galets 2007 (308080) Organic

750ml

$18.99

RP 91

WS 90

In stock, 12+ available

List $25.00

91 points Robert Parker: "[$25 list] The 2007 Cotes du Rhone-Villages Les Galets Plan de Dieu is composed of 60% Grenache, 20% Syrah, and 20% Mourvedre and exhibits a dense ruby/purple color as well as copious blueberry and black raspberry notes intermixed with smoked herbs, cedar, underbrush, and licorice. This full-bodied, silky-textured, voluptuous, tasty wine should drink well for 3-4 years. (Feb 2009)"

90 points Wine Spectator: "Velvety layers of crushed plum, warm fig and boysenberry fruit are layered with dark toast and spice cake notes in this ripe version, which has a long, graphite-tinged finish. Very flattering. A steadily rising producer. Grenache, Syrah and Mourvèdre. Drink now through 2010. (9/30/09)"

Ariel Brut Cuvée NV (4542)

750ml

$7.99

In stock, 4 available

Non-alcoholic. Producer notes: "ARIEL Brut Cuvée is produced from Chardonnay grapes fermented cold (45ºF, 7ºC) in stainless steel cooperage. The cuvée is balanced from the finished wines, with the alcohol gently removed by cold filtration, and is Charmat method sparkling wine processed prior to bottling. ARIEL Brut Cuvée is 100% Chardonnay with less than half of one percent alcohol. The vineyards and vintages are selected based on their consistency of delicately floral fruit aromas. ARIEL Brut Cuvée retains all the natural and delicate flavor of the grapes by removing the alcohol through our own unique and patented method of cold filtration."

Auvigue Mâcon-Fuissé Vendanges Manuelles 2008 (308090)

750ml

$14.99

In stock, 12+ available

The estate of Jean-Pierre Auvigue is a great example of old-school technique and new-world technology. The farming of the estate’s old vine vineyards in this ancient corner of Burgundy is performed following the practice of lutte raisonée, literally 'reasoned struggle', a low impact method which eschews chemicals and encourages natural methods of pest and weed control. The vines are hand cultivated and the fruit hand harvested, as the name would imply. Bright, clean fruit flavors, mouthwatering acidity and amazing density for a wine in this price range.

Benanti Etna Rosso di Verzella 2006 (306674)

750ml

$16.99

WE 89

WA 88

In stock, 12+ available

List $25.00

89 points Wine Enthusiast: "[$25 list] Rosso di Verzella is a rich expression from Mt. Etna with luscious aromas of barbecue smoke, bacon, wild berry and slate roof. The wine is elegant and powerful at the same time and offers a fine berry texture in the mouth. (Dec 2009)"

88 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "The 2006 Etna Rosso Rossodiverzella (Nerello Mascalese, Nerello Cappuccio) offers up dried cherries, sweet herbs, tobacco and dried flowers on a mid-weight frame. Slight notes of greenness detract from the otherwise fine balance. This fleeting, ethereal red is best enjoyed over the next year or two. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2012. (Jun 2010)"

Two Glasses, Gambero Rosso: "The prestigious winery of Cavaliere del Lavoro Giuseppe Benanti is credited with being the first to put Etna winemaking in the international limelight, with the invaluable help of oenologist Salvo Foti. Today, the winery adopts traditional methods, with the reintroduction of bush training and the use of natural yeasts. The business has also found renewed verve thanks to the help of Giuseppe's sons, Antonio and Salvino, and has recently acquired an estate at Pachino, the homeland of nero d'Avola, which is producing excellent results. (2010)"

Benito Santos Albariño Rías Baixas Igrexario de Saiar 2008 (308070)

750ml

$13.99

In stock, 12+ available

Producer notes: "Lemon in colour with hints of green. Clear and bright. Intense aromas of peach, white flowers and somewhat ripe tropical fruits. As it enters the mouth, this wine has a smooth and silky feel, with an intense acidity. It has a slight bitterness in harmony with its acidity. The wine is long-lasting on the nose as well as in the aftertaste."

Bertheau Chambolle-Musigny 2006 (308091)

750ml

$39.99

WA 90

In stock, 12+ available

List $79.00

90 points David Schildknecht (Wine Advocate): "[$79 list] The Bertheau 2006 Chambolle-Musigny -- as in past vintages -- favors high-toned, bright, fresh and distilled red currant and raspberry, with overtones of citrus oil and white pepper that would more typically be at home in a white wine. A hint of carnality creeps in as this opens to the air, and that animal dimension can probably be expected to gain prominence with 2-3 years in bottle. Infectiously juicy, brightly refreshing, subtly chalky and saline, this offers a focused, buoyant, and dynamic finishing interplay of fruit, mineral, and pungently zesty, peppery elements. A little vintage-, village- and domaine-typical gem, it should be enjoyed over the next 3-5 years. (Dec 2009)"

Blank (Grace Family Vineyards) Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2001 (308056)

750ml

$119.99

In stock, 4 available

Wine Spectator: "A minty flavor permeates this wine. Rich and fleshy, with fine balance. With aeration, rich currant and berry flavors rise up to give a broader range of flavors. Best from 2006 through 2012. 450 cases made. (7/31/05)"

Brewer-Clifton Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills 2008 (308019)

750ml

$31.99

In stock, 12+ available

Producer notes: "Once again we have sourced this bottling from a collection of extremely diverse vineyards within the appellation. Dark plum aromas are followed by cranberry and orange peel. Flavors of wild strawberry and fig are complemented by a finish of black walnut like tannin."

Not yet reviewed; 2007 vintage rated 93 points by Robert Parker: "A fabulous introduction, the generic cuvee, the 2007 Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills (just over 1,000 cases produced), possesses a deep plum/ruby hue as well as gorgeously sweet, sexy, plum, cherry, forest floor, and spring flower notes. Sensual and medium to full-bodied with great fruit, good acidity, and an incredible Burgundian-like character that suggests something from Morey-St.-Denis or further north, it should drink well for 7-8 years."

Bunratty Meade (308066)

750ml

$16.99

In stock, 12+ available

Bunratty Meade, made from white wine with honey and herbs added recreates mead, the drink of the ancient Gauls and Anglo Saxons which was made from fermented honey and water. Mead soon made its way into the courts of the Four Kings of Ireland and no banquet was complete without it. This honey-based drink was believed to have powers of virility and fertility, and it became custom for the bride and groom to drink mead for one full moon after their wedding, hence the word "honeymoon." In Ireland today, it is still a tradition to toast the bride and groom with a glass of mead when they depart on their honeymoon from the wedding feast. Bunratty Meade can be drunk chilled, before meals or as a relaxing after dinner drink. You may also enjoy it on the rocks with a slice of lemon. In the winter, nothing takes the chill out etter than mead as a hot toddy. And you may wish to drink it at dinner with your chicken, turkey or game.

Cade (PlumpJack) Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain 2007 (308037)

750ml

$69.99

RP 90

In stock, 12+ available

90+ points Robert Parker: "The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain, a blend of estate and non-estate fruit (from mountain vineyards such Ink Grade, Outpost, True, and Pestoni), is closed at present, but it appears to be loaded with potential. Abundant notes of cassis, black raspberry and blackberry fruit intermixed with notions of chocolate, cocoa, and bay leaf are followed by a structured, tannic, medium to full-bodied wine that needs some time in the bottle. Give this well-built, masculine Cabernet Sauvignon 4-5 years of cellaring, and consume it over the following two decades. (Dec 2009)"

Producer notes: "98% Cabernet Sauvignon, 2% Merlot. The 2007 CADE Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain comes to us from 5 small growers on Howell Mountain: CADE Estate, Ink Grade, Outpost, True and Pestoni. The 2007 CADE Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is a truly powerful wine and a true representation of Howell Mountain. Aromas of baked plums, cassis, black olive and smoke jump from the glass. Secondary aromas of soy, vanilla, black cherry and cola nut come forward with aeration. On the palate dense flavors of black cherry, cocoa powder, black olive and sage are followed with a dense wall of tannins that will allow for this to age gracefully for the next 5-10 years. Aged 19 months in 100% French oak (85% new). 14.8% alc."

RP 95

In stock, 12+ available

95+ points Robert Parker: "Absolutely sensational, the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate Howell Mountain is a blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon and 14% Merlot. It reveals a strikingly provocative aromatic display of blue and black fruits, crushed rocks, violets, and a hint of chocolate. This full-bodied, dense, classic mountain Cabernet Sauvignon is built for long-term aging. Its opaque purple color, awesome concentration and texture, and foreboding personality suggest 5-6 years of bottle age is warranted. It should drink well over the following 30+ years. (Dec 2009)"

Producer notes: "86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Merlot. The CADE Estate is a 54 acre property with 21 southwest facing acres planted to vines. Located in the heart of Howell Mountain the CADE Estate vineyard sits at elevations ranging from 1,520 to 1,700 feet and is planted to 19 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon (Clones: 4,337,SEE) and 2 acres of Merlot (Clone: 181). This is our inaugural release from our Estate Vineyard. Planted in 2003 we are the only winery to produce wine from this exciting and dramatic hillside estate. When first opened it reveals a strikingly provocative aromatic display of graphite, violet and cedar. With aeration aromas of black Currant, dark chocolate and black cherry fill the glass. A classic mountain Cabernet Sauvignon, it is full bodied and benefits from aging with flavors of chocolate truffle, black cherry, cocoa powder and currant. It displays immense concentration and texture suggesting it will benefit with 2-3 years of bottle age or a good decant. It will evolve nicely for the next 15+ years. Aged 24 months in 100% new French oak. 15.2% alc."

Cade (PlumpJack) Cuvee Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2007 (308035)

750ml

$59.99

WS 92

RP 91

In stock, 12+ available

92 points Wine Spectator: "Intense and focused on a rich core of black cherry, currant, plum and cedary oak flavors. Full-bodied and expansive, yet retains a tight focus and a measure of restraint. The flavors pour through on the finish. Drink now through 2018. (2010)"

91+ points Robert Parker: "The 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa (4,000 cases produced) is a serious effort revealing delicious blue and black fruits intermixed with notes of crushed rocks and spring flowers. With supple tannins, loads of fruit and flavor, a full-bodied mouthfeel, and no hard edges, it should be even better in 2-3 years, and last for 12-15. Not surprisingly, it comes from a blend of fruit from some extraordinary vineyards Beckstoffer George III in Rutherford, the Kenefick Ranch in Calistoga, and the Beckstoffer Dr. Crane in St. Helena. (Dec 2009)"

Producer notes: "83% Cabernet Sauvignon (St. Helena, Rutherford, Howell Mountain), 8% Merlot (Oak Knoll), 6% Cabernet Franc (Calistoga), 3% Petit Verdot (Calistoga, St. Helena). The cade Napa Cuvee Cabernet Sauvignon is a Napa Valley Appellation designated wine. Made from some of Napa¡¦s most renowned vineyards located on both the steep hillsides of the Mayacamas and Vaca Mountain Ranges as well as the alluvial fans at the base of both mountain ranges. The vineyards include: Beckstoffer's George the 3rd in Rutherford; Beckstoffer's Orchard Avenue in Oak Knoll; Kenefick Ranch in Calistoga; Dr. Crane in St. Helena. Inviting aromas of black currant, black olive, blackberries, acacia flower and plums jump from the glass. On the palate, flavors of dark chocolate, soy black currant and star anise are followed by wonderful mouth coating tannins that are very plush and long. By far and away the best Cuvee we have produced to date. Aged 19 months in 100% French oak (70% new). 14.8% alc."

Cakebread Chardonnay Carneros Reserve 2007 (308020)

750ml

$54.99

In stock, 12+ available

Producer notes: "Our 2007 Reserve Chardonnay is a blend of grapes from several outstanding vineyards in the cool-climate Carneros district of Napa Valley, with 67% of the fruit coming from our Foster Road, Milton Road and Tinsley Ranch estate vineyards. The wine also blends six different French Dijon clones of Chardonnay, which contribute to its distinctive, complex aromas and intense, vibrant flavors. Our 2007 Napa Valley Reserve Chardonnay boasts fragrant sweet apple, ginger and melon aromas with complex, accompanying scents of citrus zest, mineral, vanilla cream, yeast and toasty oak. On the full-bodied, beautifully structured palate, the wine delivers succulent, deeply concentrated, creamy apple, melon, lemon-lime and peach flavors that persist throughout a long, bright, mineral- and ginger-laced finish. With great reserves of fruit, vibrant acidity and perfectly balanced oak tones, this luxurious, cool-climate Napa Valley Chardonnay makes delicious drinking now, but will handsomely reward five to seven years of cellaring. Barrel aged 15 months in French oak (32% new). 14.8% alc."

List $24.00

Producer notes: "The 2008 Central Coast Pinot Noir has a vibrant, beautiful garnet color. Aromas of black cherry with a hint of sweet oak wrap around a comforting core of boysenberry pie. The taste is lively -- spicy blackberry and cassis, with bramble & briar and good structure. This is a smooth, delightful wine with a lot of personality. 14.4% alc."

Castalia Pinot Noir Russian River Valley Rochioli Vineyard 2008 (308047)

750ml

$49.99

In stock, 12+ available

PinotFile: "14.1% alc. So you're not on the coveted Rochioli mailing list and you want some Rochioli wine. Look no further. Terry Bering, the long time Cellar Master at Rochioli, crafts superb Pinot Noirs from Rochioli fruit that you can actually buy. I have raved about the last few vintages in past issues. This is a no-brainer my friend. The nose entices with fresh aromas of cherries and berries with a hint of brier patch and baking spice. Moderate in weight, this wine flaunts a delicious core of redder fruits with underpinnings of bread crust and spice. Flawless and harmonious, this silky beauty really shows off its breeding. A sophisticated wine with a top hat personality. (4/23/10)"

Producer notes: "As the 2008 fleshes out after bottling, I see that the wine is great in its own right. The growing season was a mix of hot and cool spells . There were enough cool periods that the 2008 has an almost perfect structure. The PH is 3.56 which is exceptional and bodes well for long term aging. The warm spell in September gave just a hint of ripeness. The wine has a very clean, bright tone with an earthy concentration of dark fruit and cola that make it one of my better wines. I recommend that you start drinking my wines when they are four to five years old but are excellent early."

Domaine de Colette is in the small village of Lantignié, regarded as the top village in the Régnié cru, and is owned by Jacky and Evelyne Gauthier. It is less than 1 km from the border of Morgon. The soils at Colette are worked organically in an effort to promote healthy and vigorous root systems. They limit vine treatments during the year and intervene only when completely necessary. A green harvest is performed to give more concentrated grapes. Harvest is by hand, and only healthy grape clusters are emptied into the tank. This wine is delicious, with lots of strawberry and sweet cherry notes evident on the nose and palate. Best served lightly chilled.

93 points Robert Parker: "One of the candidates for wine of the vintage, this beauty has a dense purple color to the rim and a classic, noble nose of graphite intermixed with black currant, spice box, licorice, and red and black fruits. Medium to full-bodied with exceptional precision and definition, this beautifully textured wine stands out as one of the most successful wines of this irregular vintage. A brilliant effort, it should be at its best between 2008 and 2020. (Apr 2005)"

93 points Wine Spectator: "Gorgeous aromas of currants and berries with hints of licorice. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a pretty finish. Silky. This is extremely good for the vintage. The team of Cos worked hard on their 2002 and it shows. Best after 2009. (3/31/05)"

93 points Stephen Tanzer (International Wine Cellar): "Good red-ruby. Deep, aromatic, highly complex nose combines raspberry, espresso, tree bark, leather, graphite, cedar, coconut and exotic woodsmoke. Lush, sweet and pure, with very ripe flavors of currant, dark chocolate and graphite, nicely framed by perfectly integrated acidity. Finishes broad and suave; the tannins here make those of the young 2004 seem a bit tough by comparison. Superb, complete wine. Drink from 2010 to 2020. (May/Jun 2005)"
