2008 Borsao<br />
Tres Picos<br />
“Opaque purple. Exotically perfumed<br />
bouquet of dark berry<br />
preserves, smoky minerals, potpourri<br />
and indian spices, with a<br />
strong note of cracked pepper;<br />
smells like a high-end northern<br />
Rhone wine. Very spicy and<br />
tightly focused, offering juicy red<br />
and dark berry flavors and sexy<br />
notes of candied flowers and<br />
cocoa powder. Finishes with a<br />
wallop of sweet red berries and<br />
lingering, seductive spiciness; as<br />
ridiculous a value as one can find<br />
these days. <strong>The</strong> yield for this<br />
wine was reportedly under two<br />
tons per acre.” Steve Tanzer<br />

2008 Foxglove<br />
Chardonnay<br />
“<strong>The</strong> sensational 2008 Chardonnay<br />
Central Coast, which is fermented<br />
and aged completely in stainless<br />
steel with no malolactic fermentation,<br />
is a 30,000-cuvee of fabulous<br />
Chardonnay. Loads of tropical<br />
fruit, honeysuckle, and orange<br />
blossom notes fill the olfactory<br />
sense, as does the luscious mediumbodied<br />
texture on the palate. <strong>The</strong><br />
wine is buttressed by crisp underlying<br />
acidity, and the result is a<br />
fresh, naked expression of<br />
Chardonnay that is top-flight.”<br />

Chateau Montelena<br />
Cabernet Sauvignon Estate<br />
“Revealing sweeter tannin and a softer, riper, fuller-bodied<br />
style, the 2006 Chateau Montelena Cabernet<br />
Sauvignon Estate is a beautiful, classic wine with loads<br />
of berry fruit, an earthy character, and a spicy, pure,<br />
rich finish. <strong>The</strong> silkiness of the tannins suggests this<br />
2006 will be drinkable in several years. It is another<br />
candidate for nearly two decades of aging.” <strong>Wine</strong><br />

“Well-worth visiting, assuming one can get an appointment, is this exceptionally<br />
impressive vineyard and gigantic fortified château-like estate owned by the<br />
Blankiets. <strong>The</strong> vineyards were set up and the early winemaking done by Helen<br />
Turley and her husband Jtohn Wetlaufer, but they have departed in favor of<br />
Martha McClellan (wife of Bob Levy of Harlan estate), and of course the wellknown<br />
Michel Rolland, who serves as outside consultant. 2005 marks the last<br />
vintage where a separate Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot were produced (I agree<br />
100% with their decision). <strong>The</strong> Blankiets prefer to go with one<br />
proprietary blend, which gives them the opportunity to put<br />
together the best possible wine comprised of both Merlot and<br />
Cabernet Sauvignon, and that’s exactly what they did in 2006.<br />
<strong>The</strong> vineyard is known as Paradise Hills, and that’s an appropriate<br />
name for it.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />
Just Released 2006 Vintage!<br />
2006 Paradise Hills <strong>Vineyard</strong>____________________________ 219.99<br />
“<strong>The</strong> real star is the nearly 1,000 case-lot of the Paradise Hills <strong>Vineyard</strong><br />
Proprietary Red. <strong>The</strong> dense, opaque plum/purple-hued 2006 Paradise Hills<br />
<strong>Vineyard</strong> exhibits a beautiful, sweet bouquet of melted chocolate, burning<br />
embers, blackberries, mocha, espresso roast, cassis, and cherries as well as stunning<br />
concentration, and formidable, but velvety, beautifully integrated tannins.<br />
This wine comes across like a hypothetical blend of California, a great Graves,<br />
and something from further north in Bordeaux, such as a Pauillac. Full-bodied<br />
and powerful, it requires 2-4 years of cellaring, and should evolve for 20-25+<br />
years.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 96/100<br />
“Vibrant, complex nose combines currant, minerals, tobacco and brown spices.<br />
Wonderfully sweet, lush and fine-grained, with its silky texture enlivened by<br />
compelling inner-mouth perfume. Intriguing mineral and licorice notes add to<br />
the complexity of this very deep, layered wine, which finishes with spreading<br />
tannins and outstanding length. Large-scaled and rather powerful but with a<br />
lovely light touch. A superb and beautifully balanced 2006 with excellent cellaring<br />
potential.” Steve Tanzer, rated 95/100<br />
2006 Rive Droite Paradise Hills <strong>Vineyard</strong>_ ____________________ 109.99<br />
“<strong>The</strong> 2006 Rive Droite reveals elegant, attractive, plum, black cherry, coffee, and<br />
wood spice notes offered in a lush, full-bodied style meant to be drunk over the<br />
next 7-8 years. “ <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 90/100<br />
“Highly aromatic nose combines mulberry, boysenberry, tobacco and flowers.<br />
Intensely flavored and sweet, with a scented quality to the fruit-driven flavors of<br />
ripe plum, mulberry and flowers. For all its breadth and sweetness this also<br />
boasts excellent tannic structure and grip. .” Steve Tanzer, rated 92/100<br />

In those appellations from the South of France (Maury,<br />
Rivesaltes, Banyuls), there is a long tradition of producing<br />
fortified wines. <strong>The</strong> winemaking is very similar to normal<br />
wines but the fermentation is stopped by the addition of<br />
alcohol to keep a sufficient sweetness (16° alc.). <strong>The</strong> winemakers<br />
keep the best of their production of the best years<br />
to beef up the weak vintages. <strong>The</strong>se particular wines have<br />
been undisturbed in 500 litre casks at the domaines and<br />
only recently bottled. Deep tawny in color with aromas<br />
and flavors of coffee, raisins, and caramel. Ready to drink<br />
now, this is an ideal wine to savor after dinner, and<br />
requires no decanting.<br />

“Ken Wright is engaging and passionate about Pinot Noir<br />
and an indefatigable champion of its Oregonian editions. He<br />
is also almost an icon among its many producers, having<br />
created, from scratch, no less than three brands of persistently<br />
high reputation: Panther Creek, Domaine Serene, and<br />
Ken Wright Cellars. At one point when Wright was the<br />
winemaker for both Domaine Serene and Ken Wright<br />
Cellars, those houses (which then cohabited) were simultaneously Robert M.<br />
Parker’s choices for Oregon’s two outstanding producers of Pinot Noir.” North<br />

Grenache is the equivalent of Pinot Noir’s more exuberant and<br />
dramatic sibling. It has to be made from very ripe fruit in very<br />
low yields, and generally does not like loads of new oak. A few<br />
promising Grenaches exist in California, and they deliver<br />
unbridled black cherry fruit with scents of licorice, lavender,<br />
and pepper. <strong>The</strong>y are usually fuller-bodied and deeper than<br />
Pinot Noir, and just as aromatically complex.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />

2007 Dry White Bordeaux<br />
“<br />
Many properties in Graves and Pessac-Léognan produce white Bordeaux, and they can be very long-lived wines. 2007 is undeniably a top vintage for white<br />
Bordeaux. <strong>The</strong> fruit was harvested under textbook conditions, and made from fully ripe Sauvignon Blanc, Semillon, and Muscadelle.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />
“<br />
One of the great white wine vintages of recent years. <strong>The</strong> summer was never too hot, and saw big temperature differential between day and night - key for developing<br />
white wine aromas.” Decanter<br />
2007 Aile d’Argent___________________________________ 79.99<br />
“(65% Sauvignon Blanc and 35% Semillon, harvested between<br />
September 12 and 20) Fresh apricot and sappy white peach<br />
lifted by floral and citrus notes. Supple and spicy, with excellent<br />
floral intensity and a creamy but restrained honeyed sweetness<br />
leavened by spearmint. Boasts superb fruit for this cuvee,<br />
and finishes with exotic lingering perfume and a slightly phenolic<br />
character. Just 25% of the wine went through malolactic<br />
fermentation. Mouton-Rothschild produces around 1,500<br />
cases of this white wine.” Steve Tanzer, rated 90-93/100<br />
“Mouton’s white wine. Light straw. Very intense and just this side of oily - big<br />
impact! Sweet side of Sauvignon Blanc with some lime and real density. Quite<br />
creamy - even a hint of coconut cream. Exotic! Racy but with some real weight<br />
too.” Jancis Robinson<br />

2007 Ch. Bouscaut Blanc_ ______________________________ 44.99<br />
“Another of the many Pessac-Léognan properties in the hands<br />
of the Lurton family, this up-and-coming estate is run by<br />
Laurent Cogombles, husband of Sophie Lurton. This white is<br />
fresh, straightforward, but with a great balance between herbaceous<br />
flavors and more weighty white fruits. It is the style of<br />
white that opens slowly, satisfyingly, and could even be decanted”<br />
<strong>Wine</strong> Enthusiast, rated 91/100<br />
2007 Ch. Carbonnieux Blanc_ ____________________________ 54.99<br />
“Dominated by the grassy characters of Sauvignon Blanc, this is a tight wine,<br />
almost cool in its character. <strong>The</strong> fruit skin tannins are very apparent, giving the<br />
wine a crispness, layering acidity and a strong citrus element.” <strong>Wine</strong> Enthusiast,<br />

“Good bright lemony color. Candied lemon peel, pineapple,<br />
peach, fresh apricot and subtle leesy nuances on the rather<br />
serious nose. Very ripe but with the vintage’s excellent cut to<br />
the stone fruit and spice flavors. A sweet and voluminous wine<br />
with lovely intensity and length. Nicely integrated, fresh acidity<br />
frames the fruit and gives the finish a firm edge.” Steve<br />
Tanzer, rated 90-93/100<br />
“Fieuzal is showing style and promise under new director, Stephen Carrier, and<br />
this white is a good indicator. It has forward, ripe white fruits that are lifted<br />
with spicy wood and a great waft of herbaceous and citrus flavors. A delicious,<br />
rich and aromatic wine.” <strong>Wine</strong> Enthusiast, rated 92/100<br />

until the last two vintages.<br />
This 2007, almost entirely<br />
Sauvignon Blanc, continues the<br />

Rated 92-94/100, <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />
“(A 80/20 blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon) Very pale<br />
yellow. Ripe white peach complicated by flowers, mint and<br />
spicy oak on the nose. Juicy and vibrant on the palate, with<br />
a lanolin richness cut by lemon zest, spring flowers and mint.<br />
Very spicy, subtle finish is framed and extended by the wine’s<br />
firm acidity. At once rich and vibrant, in the style of the<br />
vintage.” Steve Tanzer, rated 89-92/100<br />
“Light, green fruits - very juicy. Nice easy mouthful with good length. Sweet<br />
citrus and smoky bacon notes. Some depth and fruit concentration to balance<br />
the acidity. Powerful, zesty and just in balance.” Jancis Robinson<br />
“A truly grassy aroma leads to a fresh, herbaceous and crisp wine. To top its<br />
crispness, it also has some weight, wood flavors and a creamy core with a white<br />
pear texture. It could benefit from aging, at least three years, to bring out the<br />
inherent richness of the wine.” <strong>Wine</strong> Enthusiast, rated 93/100<br />
2007 Ch. Malartic Lagraviere Blanc_ ________________________ 74.99<br />
“An intense wine, this is certainly full-bodied, but has fruit<br />
weight and concentrated power to match. Beautiful yellow<br />
stone fruits—apricots, peaches—are super ripe, their richness<br />
allied to sweet acidity, pink grapefruit tones and a smooth,<br />
almost oily texture. <strong>The</strong> one downside is the alcoholic burn<br />
that shows through, an unfortunate end to an otherwise spectacular<br />
wine.” <strong>Wine</strong> Enthusiast, rated 90/100<br />
2007 Ch. Latour Martillac Blanc<br />
“Bright, pale color. White peach, underripe<br />
nectarine, licorice and lime on the<br />
sappy nose. In a very fresh style, with a<br />
slight youthful hard edge to the flavors of<br />
lemon and grapefruit peel. Almost austere<br />
today but with a sappy quality that is currently<br />
masking the wines underlying density.<br />
This grew thicker with aeration,<br />
showing a lime leaf element reminiscent<br />
of Sancerre and finishing with notes of<br />
vanilla and honey.” Steve Tanzer, rated<br />

for this cuvee, which is made from a single hectare of vines<br />
planted to 60% Sauvignon Blanc, 30% Sauvignon Gris<br />
and 5% each Muscadelle and Semillon. <strong>The</strong>re’s terrific cut<br />
and lift to the flavors of spices, fresh herbs and honey; a<br />
bit like chewing on grapes today. Finishes very long, pure<br />
and perfumed. Promises to be the finest and most complex<br />

9% Muscadelle) Lemon-yellow color. Sexy aromas of pineapple,<br />
lemon and minerals, along with a resiny honeyed suggestion.<br />
Very rich and fat, with a slight youthful aggressiveness to<br />
the expansive flavors of mirabelle and honey. Impressively full<br />
wine, finishing with a slightly phenolic character and a flavor<br />
of ripe pineapple. For all its power, this also displays an elegant<br />
side.” Steve Tanzer, 90-93/100<br />
“One of the oldest vineyards in Bordeaux, founded by Pope<br />
Clément in the 14th century. This white is full, rich, packed with white fruits.<br />

offers a rare combination of silky volume and inner-mouth<br />
energy and perfume. Lovely intensity of lemon and pineapple<br />
flavor. Finishes quite firm, even a bit youthfully bitter, but with<br />
terrific length and lift. I can’t recall a more promising white wine<br />
from this property.” Steve Tanzer, rated 91-94/100<br />
“This is rich, but the balance of the wine is excellent, the wood very much<br />
underneath the smooth, opulent apricot and pear fruits. <strong>The</strong>re is spice, which<br />

on the finish, with the brisk citrus and floral flavors<br />
joined by resin and spicy nuances. <strong>The</strong> wine’s harmonious<br />
acidity serves to intensity its flavors.” Steve Tanzer, 88-<br />

almost painful intensity and sappy cut. This saturates the<br />

“In 1999, Joe Gunselman went looking for a place where he could both<br />
manage a medical practice and indulge in a little winemaking as well. On<br />
one of the many drives he took in Washington wine country, he was<br />
brought to a halt on a stretch of road near Champoux <strong>Vineyard</strong>.<br />
Something about the wind, and the way the loess puffed up around his<br />
boots, attracted him to this area on Phinny Hill, what is now part of the<br />
Horse Heaven Hills AVA.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Gunselmans ran into growers Dick Beightol and Rob Mercer,<br />
and within a few weeks they were making deals on fruit. <strong>The</strong> following<br />
year, they planted their first block on a long-term contract.<br />
It seems they’ve found the right spot. <strong>The</strong> Robert Karl wines display<br />
what the Horse Heaven AVA’a southern reaches have come to be known<br />
for: depth, plenty of power and exceptional elegance.” <strong>Wine</strong> & Spirits<br />
2007<br />
Horse Heaven Hills Claret<br />
2007 was a warm, dry vintage in Washington.<br />
Plenty of summer heat produced grapes with wonderful<br />
intensity, deep, dark color and great balance.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 2007 Horse Heaven Hills Claret (red wine) is<br />
a blend of 55% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot,<br />
10% Cabernet Franc, 10% Petit Verdot, and 5%<br />
Malbec. <strong>The</strong> fruit was sourced from their estate vines at Gunselman<br />
Bench, Andrews Horse Heaven Ranch, McKinley <strong>Spring</strong>s and Phinny<br />
Hill vineyards. It was aged in 70% French oak and 30% American oak<br />
for 21 months, 50% of the oak was new. <strong>The</strong> ideal consumption is 2<br />
to 5 years from release date, but this wine will<br />
develop for another 5-7 years. <strong>The</strong> alcohol by volume<br />
is 13.5 %. This wine was bottled August 4,<br />

For the first time, the Gault Millau <strong>Wine</strong><br />
Guide has granted its highest award.<br />
At a gala dinner in Wiesbaden’s Restaurant “Ente” chief editor<br />
Armin Diel presented Klaus Keller with the award “<strong>Wine</strong>maker of<br />
the Decade”. Diel honoured the extraordinary achievement of the<br />
Keller family, who practically alone built a new, better reputation for<br />
an entire region. Brilliant performances in all categories — from red<br />
Spätburgunder to the noble sweet Rieslaner and Riesling — are the<br />
Keller’s trademark.<br />
-Additional Accolades-<br />
“Klaus Peter Keller has taken this estate to new heights.” Steve<br />
Tanzer<br />
“A remarkable revival of once renowned sites in Dalsheim and<br />
Westhofen - Hubacker, Kirchspiel and Morstein - has taken<br />
place at the Keller winery whose rise to fame has been almost<br />
without precedent. Even the generic bottlings are impressive.”<br />
<strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />
“All in all, Klaus-Peter Keller is a winegrower at the top of his game at the present<br />
time, and given his commitment to quality and detail, it is hard to imagine<br />
that as great as his wines are today, that the future is not even brighter for this<br />
great domaine down the road.” John Gilman<br />
“Keller” I hear the fanatical Keller fan-club exclaim.“How about Klaus-Peter<br />
Keller” Please wait a slither of your lifetime. I tasted comprehensively with<br />
Klaus-Peter Keller at his winery…I will just say that his wines are what the<br />
Germans call “Fantastisch.” Neil Martin<br />

Luc Morlet, proprietor<br />
<strong>The</strong> origins of the Morlet family in the region of France are difficult to precisely<br />
retrace. It is certain, though, that the Morlet family has been cultivating<br />
vineyards in Avenay-Val-d’Or since the early 1800’s.<br />
Today, the Morlet family vineyards are comprised of over thirty parcels totaling<br />
forty acres in Avenay-Val-d’Or (Premier Cru), Aÿ (Grand Cru), Bisseuil<br />
(Premier Cru), and Mutigny (Premier Cru). <strong>The</strong>se vineyard blocks are situated<br />
next to parcels that produce the super premium cuvées for such famous<br />
Champagne houses as Bollinger, Krug, Moet & Chandon, Mumm, Pommery,<br />
and Veuve Clicquot-Ponsardin.<br />
After four generations, Champagne Pierre Morlet et Fils has become synonymous<br />
in France for authentic and handcrafted Champagnes. Now, wine connoisseurs<br />
around the world are discovering the unique harmony of Pierre Morlet<br />
Champagne.<br />

of the Cuvée Suivie, also representing all of the Morlet family’s<br />
terroirs of Premiers Crus Avenay-Val-d’Or, Bisseuil and<br />
Mutigny and of Grand Cru Aÿ.<br />
Partially fermented in French oak “Demi-Muids” barrels – a<br />
rarity in Champagne – the Grande Réserve also aged one<br />
additional year in the deep caves. More mature flavors and<br />
aromas characterized the Grande Réserve which has built the<br />
Pierre Morlet reputation.<br />
N/V Grande Reserve Rosé_____________________________ 44.99<br />
100% Pinot Noir<br />
Obtained by the “Saigneé” technique, the “Rosé Grande<br />
Réserve” is exclusively comprised of Pinot Noir. Its<br />

wild strawberries, blackberries) intermixed with<br />
notes of limestone and hazelnut. Full-bodied and elegant,<br />
“Rosé Grande Réserve” displays flavors of fresh raspberries<br />
and pomegranate and a long finish with mineral notes<br />
and a hint of Kirsch. This Rosé Champagne will age<br />
gracefully for a decade.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Morlet family only selects the best years to produce<br />

“Tor Kenward and his winemaker, Jeff Ames, have produced<br />
some breakthrough efforts in 2005 and 2006. A longtime executive<br />
at Beringer as well as a meticulous wine connoisseur who<br />
knows great wine as well as anybody, Kenward is carving out a<br />
superb reputation for wine quality. His total production is just<br />
under 2,500 cases, and the best way for consumer to purchase<br />
his wines is through the winery’s mailing list. His Chardonnay’s<br />
are superb. Kenward’s knowledge of northern California viticulture<br />
and vineyard sites has put him in the position to get great<br />
fruit, which has translated in to artesian hand-crafted wines.”<br />

“<strong>The</strong> 2007 Clos de Los Siete, a wine made by the<br />
peripatetic Michel Rolland, remains one of<br />
Argentina’s finest values. It is a blend of 48% Malbec,<br />
28% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 12%<br />
Syrah. Dark ruby-colored, it offers up a fragrant<br />
bouquet of mineral, violet, black cherry, and black<br />
currants. This leads to a medium- to full-bodied<br />
wine with both elegance and stuffing. Ripe, intensely<br />
flavored, and well-balanced, it will evolve for 1-2<br />
years but can be enjoyed now and over the next 6<br />
years. ” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, Rated 90/100<br />

“Attorneys who follow their hankering for viticulture,<br />
chucking legal briefs for pruning shears, is a<br />
recurrent theme in California wine. Geoff Rusack<br />
is another case in point. After practising aviation<br />
law in Los Angeles, Rusack and his wife Alison<br />
moved their family north in 1994 to remote<br />
Ballard Canon, in the wilds of Santa Barbara’s<br />
burgeoning wine country.<br />
<strong>The</strong> first vintage for the new Rusack <strong>Vineyard</strong>s came in 1995. By 2001,<br />
the couple felt confident enough to rip out many of the original vineyards and<br />
replant with varieties better suited to the canyon’s microclimate; Syrah,<br />
Sangiovese and Sauvignon Blanc. Bordeaulais varieties Cab Franc, Merlot and<br />
Petit Verdot were also added to create their St. Emilion-like blend, Anacapa.<br />
John and Helen Falcone—one of California’s few winemaking couples—<br />
came onboard for the 2001 harvest, bringing a confident hand to these wines.<br />
Fruit for Rusack’s Burgundian-inspired Pinot Noir and Chardonnay programs<br />
are sourced from some of the best independent neighboring vineyards in Santa<br />
Barbara County, including Fiddlestix and Bien Nacido. I recently tasted<br />
through a few recent releases and was very impressed with what I saw.” Anthony<br />
Dias Blue<br />
2008 Chardonnay Santa Barbara_________________________ 22.99<br />
<strong>The</strong> distinctive flavors from the cool Northern and Western extremes of Santa<br />
Barbara County came together in this bottle. Here, their love of blending has<br />
resulted in a marriage of exceptional fruit aromas with carefully balanced acidity,<br />
capturing the best qualities of the area. Honeydew melon, Asian pear,<br />
orange blossom as well as citrus notes are highlighted in this appealingly crisp<br />
white wine.<br />

2007 Pinot Noir Santa Maria Valley_ _______________________ 29.99<br />
“This is a flat-out spectacular Pinot Noir from the neighborhood of the movie<br />
Sideways. You’ll never crave Merlot again after experiencing the velvety<br />
smoothness and perfect pitch of this medium-bodied but intensely penetrating<br />
red wine. <strong>The</strong>re’s an almost electric purity to its black-cherry flavor that just<br />
screams “Pinot.” This wine captures the style of a $150 French Burgundy but<br />
adds an extra measure of California fruit. Wonderful!” Michael Dresser,<br />

silky texture carries ripe fruit and tannins on the palate.<br />

“<strong>The</strong> world of wines needs more people like Doug<br />
Tunnell. Having had a successful career as a television<br />
news foreign correspondent, Tunnell returned to his<br />
native Oregon and started a ‘farm,’ as he calls it. Certified<br />
organic since 1990, Brick House <strong>Vineyard</strong>s produces<br />
Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Gamay Noir (of Beaujolais<br />
fame) that have soul. A difficult quality to describe, a<br />
wine with soul (or ‘character’ if you prefer), is never<br />
squeaky clean (yes, obsessive/compulsive Californian<br />
winemakers may find hint of Brett or VA in some of<br />
Tunnell’s wines), smells and tastes as though it was made<br />
of the land (and not in a lab), and reveals both its terroir<br />
and its vintage. Not all wines with soul are successful, but<br />
when they are they can be awe-inspiring. Tunnell, a<br />
gentle bear of a man, is dedicated to producing soulful<br />
wines on his ‘farm’ in a manner that enhances nature, not<br />
harms it.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />

2007 Pinot Noir Cuvee de Tonnelier_ _____________________mag. 79.99<br />
“<strong>The</strong> 2007 Pinot Noir Cuvee de Tonnelier is 100% Pommard clone. Medium<br />
ruby-colored and super-fragrant, it displays aromas of cinnamon, clove, iron,<br />
cherry, and raspberry. This leads to an elegant, medium-bodied, sweetly fruited<br />
wine with succulent flavors (not so easy to achieve in 2007), good acidity, and<br />
a lengthy finish. Drink it from <strong>2010</strong> to 2017.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 91/100<br />
2007 Pinot Noir Les Dijonnais_ __________________________ 37.99<br />
“<strong>The</strong> 2007 Pinot Noir Les Dijonnais is 100% Dijon clone bottled 6 months after<br />
the Cuvee de Tonnelier in March 2009. <strong>The</strong> bouquet displays sandalwood,<br />
violets, mineral, spice box, and assorted red fruits. More structured than its<br />
sibling, it has plenty of layered, ripe, savory fruit, excellent balance, potential<br />
complexity, and a long, pure finish. Drink it from 2011 to 2019.” <strong>Wine</strong><br />
Advocate, rated 91/100<br />
“Light in color and texture, feeling silky and tasting of pomegranate, currant and<br />
plum, with hints of loamy earth and rose petal on the polished finish. Drink<br />
now through 2015. 550 cases made.” <strong>Wine</strong> Spectator, rated 91/100<br />
“<strong>The</strong> ‘07 Les Dijonnais has a pretty bergamot note complementing orange zest<br />
and strawberry jam aromas. Its flavors are savory, earthy and dark, the plushtexured<br />
palate giving way to a clean, fruit-skin finish. Match its slight bitter<br />
edge with wild mushroom pasta.” <strong>Wine</strong> & Spirits, rated 91/100<br />
2007 Chardonnay Ribbon Ridge_ _________________________ 24.99<br />
“If your preference is for a Burgundian-style interpretation of this lovely grape—<br />
round and unctuous but with sufficient acidity to enhance a wide array of foods<br />
(and no new oak!)—then I strongly recommend you give the 2007 a try. Next<br />
to 1995 and 1996, the 2007 is our favorite Brick House Chardonnays to date.”<br />
Doug Tunnell, proprietor<br />
“<strong>The</strong> 2007 Chardonnay, from a superb vintage for the Willamette Valley’s white<br />
wines because of the vibrant natural acidity, is light gold-colored with an enticing<br />
nose of honey, tropical fruits, and mineral. This is followed by a mediumbodied,<br />
creamy-textured wine with layered, rich fruit, impeccable balance, and<br />
a lengthy, pure finish. It is likely to evolve for 1-2 years and drink well through<br />
2014.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 92/100<br />
“Polished, focused and appealing for its almond-scented pineapple, grapefruit<br />
and cream flavors, lingering on the spicy finish. Drink now through 2012. 650<br />
cases made.” <strong>Wine</strong> Spectator, rated 90/100<br />

“Still the most prestigious wine estate in Spain (deservedly so), Vega Sicilia is located 100<br />
miles north of Madrid in the Duero River valley on the high remote plateau of Castilla y<br />
Leon at 700 meters of altitude. <strong>The</strong>re are currently 250 hectares under vine. In a good<br />
year, 20,000 cases are produced. Valbuena (typically 75% Tinto Fino and 25% Merlot<br />

70% Tinto Fino, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Merlot, Malbec, and Albillo) is<br />
always at least 10 years old, and as much as 25 years old depending upon the vintage and<br />

“<strong>The</strong> 1998 Unico is purple-colored with a complex bouquet of wood smoke, violets, Asian<br />
spices, mineral, blueberry, and assorted black fruits. This is followed by a full-bodied, dense,<br />
loaded wine with gobs of sweet fruit, great concentration, and layers of flavor. It will continue<br />

1996 Unico Reserva_ ___________________________________ 399.99<br />
“<strong>The</strong> 1996 Unico seems more developed aromatically than the 1995 with elements<br />
of coffee and mocha but not quite the richness of fruit of the 1995. It is more supple on<br />
the palate but with less depth. It can be enjoyed now and over the next 20 years.” <strong>Wine</strong><br />

<strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 95/100<br />
“<strong>The</strong> 1995 Unico is a worthy successor to the profound 1994 (awarded a score of 98+ in Issue<br />
#159). Opaque purple in color, it has aromatic complexity which nearly defies words. <strong>The</strong>re<br />
are notes of earth, licorice, hard wood charcoal, and black currants. Full-bodied, and powerful,<br />
the wine has beautiful balance with a multi-dimensional character and the structure to last for<br />
25-40 years.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 97/100<br />
1991 Unico Reserva_ ___________________________________ 349.99<br />
“…the 1991 Unico Reserva, will have to satisfy lovers of this great Spanish red until the<br />

youthful effort offering sweet vanilla notes intertwined with black currants, cherry liqueur,<br />
flowers, spice box, and tobacco leaves. Full-bodied and intense, with sweet tannin, outstanding<br />
density as well as purity, and a layered mouthfeel…” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated<br />

2004 Valbuena_______________________________________ 179.99<br />
“<strong>The</strong> saturated purple 2004 Valbuena offers up an expressive perfume of mineral, scorched<br />
earth, espresso, incense, and black cherry. This is followed by a medium to full-bodied,<br />
intensely flavored, spicy wine with layers of fruit, soft tannins, and a pure, lengthy finish.<br />
It will benefit from another 5-7 years of bottle age and offer optimal drinking from 2015<br />
to 2029.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 94/100<br />
2003 Valbuena_______________________________________ 199.99<br />
“<strong>The</strong> 2003 Valbuena is purple-colored and super-fragrant with aromas of pain grille, pencil<br />
lead, black currant, and blackberry liqueur. This is followed by a powerful, concentrated<br />
wine with an opulent palate-feel, layers of flavor, and beautiful integration of oak, tannin,<br />
and acidity, no mean feat in the torrid 2003 vintage.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 94/100<br />
2001 Valbuena_______________________________________ 159.99<br />
“<strong>The</strong> 2001 is especially good because all of the wine normally reserved for Unico went into<br />
this bottling. It has a similar personality to the 2002 but with more of everything as if it<br />
has been on an extended workout regimen. Youthful in appearance and with classic aromatics,<br />
it has the extract and the structure to blossom for 6-8 years and drink well for<br />
another 20.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 92/100<br />
Xavier Jasas, wimemaker<br />
“Bodegas Alion was started by the renowned estate of Vega<br />
Sicilia in 1991. Grapes are sourced from vineyards next to<br />

Valbuena. Eighteen hectares of Tinto Fino (Tempranillo)<br />
form the actual Alion estate.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />
2005 Alion_ __________________________________________ 84.99<br />
<strong>The</strong> 2005 Alion has a captivating perfume of smoke, pencil lead, violets, truffle, cherry,<br />

from 2013 to 2025.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 94+/100<br />

violets, mineral, blackberry, and blueberry compote. This is followed by a full-bodied, rich,<br />
opulent, wine with incipient complexity, and notes of licorice, mocha, and espresso emerging<br />
on the palate. <strong>The</strong> lengthy finish is pure and persistent. Give it 3-5 years in the cellar<br />
and drink it through 2025.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 96/100<br />
2000 Alion_ __________________________________________ 64.99<br />
“Alion’s 2000 Ribera del Duero is a beautifully rich offering that was aged 13 months in<br />
French oak prior to bottling. A gorgeous perfume of espresso roast, smoked herbs, roasted<br />
meat, and black currant liqueur is followed by rich, full-bodied flavors, a velvety texture,<br />
and a long, luscious finish.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 92/100<br />
“When a winery is first designated a <strong>Wine</strong> & Spirits <strong>Wine</strong>ry of the<br />
Year, it’s usually the product of several vintages, lots of hard work,<br />
some trial and error, some growth and maturation. This year,<br />
Evening Land nailed the award in its third vintage.<br />
From its inception, Evening Land aimed high, with the objective<br />
to depict Pinot Noir and Chardonnay from several different terroirs<br />
(currently three), using two winemaking teams and multiple<br />
approaches—all gathered together by managing partner Mark<br />
Tarlov.<br />
Tarlov is a New Yorker with a résumé that seems to belong to<br />
more than one person. Suffice it to say that it’s unusual for a former<br />
speechwriter for Justice Warren Burger to go on to produce a movie<br />
called Cecil B. Demented. As a producer and director in the film<br />
business for the better part of 20 years, he developed some friendships<br />
in the restaurant and wine world, including Daniel Johnnes in<br />
New York, and Larry Stone in California. According to Tarlov,<br />
Johnnes and Stone have been instrumental in helping to shape the<br />
Evening Land project. When he mentioned to them an interest in<br />
purchasing vineyard land, both recommended Oregon, where Tarlov<br />
secured a lease with a purchase option on Seven <strong>Spring</strong>s <strong>Vineyard</strong> in<br />
the Eola-Amity Hills, a storied vineyard that had been supplying fruit<br />
to some of Oregon’s most prestigious wineries. Tarlov has also purchased<br />
Occidental <strong>Vineyard</strong> in the Sonoma Coast, and acquired some<br />
of the most westerly vineyard land in Santa Rita Hills. <strong>The</strong> result is<br />
astonishing pedigree right out of the gate, with wines crafted by two<br />
talented winemakers, Sashi Moorman in California, and Isabelle<br />
Meunier in Oregon, in addition to consultants, like Meursault producer<br />
Dominique Lafon.<br />
Taken as a whole, these aren’t forward wines, they’re mysterious<br />
and elusive. On first taste, the 2007 Seven <strong>Spring</strong>s La Source<br />
Chardonnay possesses an indefinable, almost weightless presence that<br />
suggests Burgundy—so much so that Lafon’s involvement comes as<br />
no surprise. <strong>The</strong> Summum Pinot, from the same vineyard, is equally<br />
haunting, a potpourri of spice supporting smoky red fruit and a<br />
texture as sensuous as silk. All in all, a tour de force from a new force.”<br />

2008 Pinot Noir Oregon__________________________________ 24.99<br />
“Mostly from Seven <strong>Spring</strong>s <strong>Vineyard</strong>, this Pinot is rich and plump. It has a plummy<br />
scent and a woody flavor to accompany broad, black cherry flavors. <strong>The</strong> char on the<br />
finish would pair nicely with grilled chicken.” <strong>Wine</strong> & Spirits, Best Buy!<br />
“Consulting French winemaker Dominique Lafon has imbued this Oregon Pinot with<br />
an elegant Burgundian character. Medium-bodied, with a silky texture and finespun<br />
finish, the 2008 Evening Land <strong>Vineyard</strong>s Pinot tastes of black cherries and wild<br />
plums. A lithe acidity and undertone of minerality give this vintage definition. A<br />
beautiful expression of Pinot Noir, and at this price, it is a stunning buy.” Los Angeles<br />

notes of lavender, tar and smoke. With firm, gripping tannins, it’s a little tight at the<br />
moment; cellar it before serving with an herb-roasted pork loin.” <strong>Wine</strong> & Spirits,<br />
rated 91/100<br />
2007 Pinot Noir Seven <strong>Spring</strong>s La Source________________________ 59.99<br />
716 six-pack cases<br />
“Elegant, softly contoured in its structure, this wine reveals a fine cherry blossom<br />
scent accompanied by a savory note of forest floor. It fills the mouth with succulent<br />
fruit, remaining fresh and silky on the palate, lively and energetic, supported by oak<br />
but not dominated by it.” <strong>Wine</strong> & Spirits, rated 93/100<br />

2007 Chardonnay Seven <strong>Spring</strong>s Summum_______________________ 119.99<br />
“It’s unuaually mineral for a New World Chardonnay, with aromas of crushed white<br />
rock. <strong>The</strong> palate has even more richness and fruit than on the nose, displaying fleshy<br />
pear, melon, lemon curd, and toasted brioche. Beautifully balanced and an excellent<br />
candidate for aging, it is quite possibly the best example of this varietal being produced<br />
in the United States. Only 115 cases were made.” Sommeliers Journal<br />

Madeira is one of the world’s legendary<br />
wines, not only for its uninterrupted<br />
production, dating back to the 15th<br />
century, but also because it is the longest<br />
lived wine category, with unique flavors<br />
and aromatics persisting in wines that can<br />
date back 200 years or more.<br />

“W has built a strong portfolio of<br />
wines from Stolpman <strong>Vineyard</strong>s, one<br />
of the up-and-coming estates in the<br />
Santa Ynez Valley. With more than<br />
220 acres that include some superb<br />

2007 Grenache Estate________________________________ 29.99<br />

92/100<br />
2007 L’Avion_ ____________________________________ 34.99<br />
“Complex bouquet displays tangerine, lemon zest, floral honey<br />
and a strong chalky note. Deeply concentrated pear and citrus<br />
flavors stain the palate, picking up notes of succulent herbs and<br />
jasmine with air. Very interesting wine that blends power and<br />
vivacity seemlessly and finishes with impressive minerality and cut.” Steve<br />
Tanzer, rated 92/100<br />

2006 L’Avion_____________________________________ 34.99<br />
“Lastly, readers should not overlook the white wine made by Sashi Moorman<br />
called L’Avion. Made from 100% Roussanne, the 2007 L’Avion (rated 93/100)<br />
is terrific. <strong>The</strong> 2006 L’Avion (rated 94/100) a blend of 90% Roussanne and<br />
10% Viognier, is even better. Both wines are full-bodied, dry whites offering<br />
copious quantities of honeysuckle, and a hint of that petroleum/terroir-like<br />
character that one finds in a late harvest wine from Alsace. However, these are<br />
dry, beautifully rich, layered, perfumed whites that represent excellent examples<br />
of what can be achieved in California’s Central Coast with top-notch<br />
whites. <strong>The</strong>y should drink well for 2-3 years.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />
2007 Syrah Estate__________________________________ 27.99<br />
“Made from 100% Syrah, the 2007 Sytrah Estate displays the<br />
vintage’s terrific fruit purity, wonderful aromatics, and stunning<br />
acidity that buttresses all the components. Aged in a<br />
combination of 500 liter pungeons and smaller barriques, it is<br />
a deep, full-bodied, dense purple-colored Syrah that appears to<br />
have excellent potential.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 91/100<br />
“Bright, finely etched aromas of boysenberry, blackberry, cracked pepper and<br />
licorice, with a smoky overtone. Deep, juicy and precise, with energetic flavors<br />
of bitter cherry, candied dark berries and violet and pastilles. Dense but surprisingly<br />
lively, with superb finishing clarity and alluring floral persistence. This<br />
wine is extremely attractive now but balanced to age.” Steve Tanzer, rated<br />

2007 Vintage Futures<br />
“2007 was a difficult growing season in Sauternes too, but there was no lack<br />
of botrytis. <strong>The</strong> flowering was uneven, which affected the ripening process.<br />
<strong>The</strong> August rains arrived too soon to bring noble rot, and some Sémillon<br />
grapes began to split. Fortunately, September was dry and warm. Sauvignon<br />
Blanc was the first variety to be attacked by botrytis and at Yquem, grapes were<br />
harvested from 20 September onwards. Early October was dry, while sunny<br />
conditions further concentrated the fruit. Climens completed at the end of<br />
October, Yquem on 7 November, and Rieussec on 16 November.<br />
<strong>The</strong> wines are a triumph. One welcome feature of the vintage is that it is<br />
not only the top growths that performed superbly. Many more modest wines<br />
also achieve great heights. <strong>The</strong> cool summer may have been frustrating, but the<br />
weather helped to maintain acidity, and it is the racy freshness of the wines<br />
that makes them so delicious. Styles vary but winelovers are spoiled for choice.<br />
This has to be the best Sauternes vintage since 2001.” Decanter<br />

“After tasting the 2008s here, it was hard to avoid concluding that William Fèvre is approaching<br />
the level of the two pillars of the appellation, Ravenaeau and Dauvissat…” Steve Tanzer<br />
Sacha Lichine, proprietor<br />
Kendall Mix, winemaker and Michael Corliss and<br />
Lauri Darneille, proprietors<br />
As enchanted as his father was by Provence, Sacha Alexis Lichine,<br />
convinced by the potential of these sun-drenched soils, became the<br />
owner of Château D’Esclans in 2006. Since that day, he hasn’t<br />
ceased to combine his talent and know-how to this magical terroir,<br />
and has given a new dimension to Provence Rosé making a unique<br />
assemblage of refinement and pleasure.<br />
A new chapter has begun in<br />
the world of Rosé.<br />
“What wine goes with soul food and an extremely diverse crowd<br />
I played it safe and offered red, white and rosé. Counting empty<br />
bottles the next morning, it seemed that the rosé won the day. It<br />
was Whispering Angel from Château d’Esclans in Provence, the<br />
new project from Sacha Lichine, son of one of the 20th century’s<br />
most influential figures in French wine. This sleek, dry rosé<br />
offered the luscious berry fruit of old-vine Grenache, the<br />
sophistication of St. Tropez, and the simple pleasures of<br />
summer on the beach. I rated it 90 points, non-blind, a<br />
perfect piece of a flawless party.” <strong>Wine</strong> Spectator<br />
“A text book Provence rosé, this is possibly the most aptly<br />
named wine we’ve tasted this year. Feminine and delicate,<br />
with biscuity, strawberry notes that lure you in. It’s willowy<br />
and crisp, with supported by firm acidity and a<br />
clean, mineral, elegant<br />
finish.” Decanter<br />

2007 Château D’Esclans Esclans_ ________________________ 24.99<br />
“Two thumbs up. Light, bright and pleasant, it had charming aromas and flavors<br />
of minerals, flowers and red berries. Quite refreshing and the most<br />
straight forward of the four.” Gil Kulers<br />
“And then there’s Corliss Estates, this year’s #1 new superstar on the<br />
Washington scene, with a bullet…Owner Michael Corliss, a longtime<br />
wine lover who told me that what he likes best is ‘10-to-20-<br />
year-old Bordeaux,’ has taken a page out of the Bill Harlan playbook<br />
by making numerous vintages before releasing the first wines<br />
under his name. This is the most exciting new set of Washington<br />
State wines I sampled this year…Good deep ruby-red. Fruit-driven<br />
aromas of cassis and blueberry. Sweet and lush but much less<br />
approachable today than the 2003 version, with its dark berry fruit<br />
in the background. Finishes with substantial, slightly tough tannins<br />
that will call for a good five or six years of cellaring. But then this<br />
wine won’t be released until the fall of 2009.” Steve Tanzer<br />
“<strong>The</strong> 2004 Red <strong>Wine</strong> is made up of equal parts Cabernet Franc,<br />
Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot aged in 60% new oak for 28-32<br />
months. It offers up an enticing nose of spice box, tobacco, cassis,<br />
and black cherry. Made in an elegant style with soft tannins, this<br />
flavorful, Bordeaux-like effort will evolve for 2-3 years and drink<br />
well from 2011 to 2019.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />

flavor and outstanding length.” Steve Tanzer, rated 93-95/100<br />
“Extremely discreet notes of wood set off the ripest nose among these Grand<br />
Crus in 2008 with orchard fruit and pure citrus aromas leading to impressively<br />
precise big-bodied and powerful flavors brimming with dry extract and more<br />
minerality than usual on the refined, intense and hugely long finish. A wine of<br />
class and grace but with no lack of muscle.” Allen Meadows, rated 93-95/100<br />

2007 Syrah Castelli-Knight Ranch Russian River_________________ 44.99<br />
2007 Syrah Griffins Lair Sonoma Coast_____________________ 44.99<br />
“Griffins Lair is in the Petaluma Wind Gap, a southwest-facing slope planted<br />
on coarse gravel and rock. <strong>The</strong> conditions restrain the young vines (‘02 was<br />
the first vintage), bypassing the clumsy vigor new plantings often express<br />
and creating a youthful brilliance instead. <strong>The</strong> structure is racy, opening up<br />
as the scent of the wine grows more compelling with each sip. It has the<br />
crush of black pepper intersecting with the saltiness of cured meat, or more<br />
directly, the saltiness of coastal air. Enjoy this bottle over the course of<br />
several days to catch the evoltuion it may parallel in the cellar.” <strong>Wine</strong> &<br />
Spirits, rated 95/100<br />
“Complex blackberry, wild berry, cedar, spice and chicory flavors are fullbodied<br />
and focused, with a minearally edge turning to tar and ending with<br />
chewy, gripping tannins that turn cedary as well.<br />
Drink now through 2016.” <strong>Wine</strong> Spectator, rated<br />
92/100<br />
2007 Syrah Sonoma Coast__________ 39.99<br />
“This could pass for a dead ringer in a northern<br />

2006 Condrieu Coteau de Vernon_ ________________________ 99.99<br />
100% Viognier. Average wine age is 60 years. “Very rich and lush, with lots of<br />
butter, cream and peach flavors up front, pushed by notes of almond, warm<br />
brioche, mango and green plum. Dense and muscular on the finish, this will<br />
need to unwind a bit more. A truly rare Viognier that needs cellaring.” <strong>Wine</strong><br />

100% Syrah. Average vine age is 40 years. “Gorgeous aromas of Turkish coffee,<br />
warm fig bread and dark cocoa lead the way for a lushly layered palate of fig,<br />
boysenberry and black currant paste notes. Very alluring, with ample structure<br />
buried on the finish. Don’t overlook the reds at this Condrieu-based domaine;<br />
they’ve really improved in the last few vintages.” <strong>Wine</strong> Spectator, rated 94/100<br />
“Deep, bright red. Powerful aromas of palate, offering sweet, liqueur-like dark<br />
berry flavors and a refreshing jolt of minerals. I looked for tannins but they<br />
were buried under the sexy fruit. Finishes bright and delineated. This is far<br />
more elegant than most wines from this vintage. <strong>The</strong> red wines from Vernay<br />
have been going from strength to strength in recent vintages.” Steve Tanzer,<br />
rated 92/100<br />
2004 Cote-Rotie Maison Rouge___________________________ 89.99<br />
100% Syrah. Average vine age is 40 years. “Shows a mix of sweet tea, black olive,<br />
currant, sanguine and mineral notes, with a long, supple finish. <strong>The</strong> fresh acidity<br />
lets the herb and mineral notes linger nicely.” <strong>Wine</strong> Spectator, rated<br />
91/100<br />
“Deep, rich, dark fruit aromas joined by spices and roasted herbs. Full and<br />
round, with cherry and cassis flavors and more power than most ‘04s. Firms up<br />

length. Nicely focused for such a powerful wine.” Steve Tanzer, rated 90/100<br />

<strong>The</strong> Dream Team: Paul McBride, Chris Gorman, Ben Smith, Ryan Johnson,<br />
Ross Andrew Mickel, Carolyn Lakewold, Mark Ryan McNeilly<br />
Founded in 2004 by entrepeneur Paul McBride and vineyard manager Ryan<br />
Johnson, Grand Reve introduces a new collaborative approach to winemaking in<br />
Washington State. Ryan Johnson has been growing wine grapes on Red<br />
Mountain for 11 vintages and is the vineyard manager for Ciel du Cheval,<br />
Cadence Cara Mia, Quilceda Galitzine Estate, and DeLille Grand Ciel vineyards,<br />
all located within Washington’s famed Red Mountain AVA.<br />
By utilizing several of Washington State’s most accomplished winemakers:<br />
each with prowess in different winemaking styles, combined with their finest<br />
cultivated fruit, they achieve world-class quality across multiple varietals. This<br />
effort is called the Grand Rêve Collaboration Series, and its all-star cast includes<br />
Ben Smith (Collaboration I), Ross Mickel (Collaboration II), Mark McNeilly<br />
(Collaboratin III), Carolyn Lakewold (Collaboration IV), Chris Gorman<br />
(Collaboration V), and James Mantone (Collaboration VI).<br />
“We intend to show how uncompromising attention to detail, progressive<br />
viticulture practices, deep experience, care and passion in the vineyard can yield<br />
profound wines of finesse, balance and character,” explains Johnson.<br />
2004 Collaboration Series I_ _____________________________ 54.99<br />
Ciel du Cheval <strong>Vineyard</strong>. 137 produced<br />
64% Cabernet Sauvignon, 18% Cabernet Franc, 18% Petit Verdot<br />
This release is their first library wine and the inaugural wine by Grand Rêve.<br />
<strong>The</strong> nose leads with blue and red fruit, spice, and silky barrique. On the palate<br />
it is a gorgeous mix of deep bright berry and caramel flavors, set in a plush<br />
framework of sweet tannin and velvety texture. Great complexity and power<br />
weave through the long finish. This wine will reward those patient enough to<br />
cellar, but is delicious now to enjoy decanted.<br />
2006 Collaboration Series IV_ ____________________________ 54.99<br />
Ciel du Cheval <strong>Vineyard</strong>. 196 produced<br />
75% Merlot, 13% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc<br />
<strong>The</strong> first release of Collaboration IV made by master winemaker Carolyn<br />
Lakewold with Ciel du Cheval fruit selected by vineyard manager Ryan Johnson.<br />
Made exclusively from free-run juice, this powerful yet complex Merlot-driven<br />
red wine is achieved by the judicious blending of Cabernet Sauvignon and<br />
Cabernet Franc.<br />

Jean-Louis Peste was a doctor at the<br />
Hospices de Beaune for 30 years in the mid-<br />
19th Century. His daughter, Baronne du<br />
Bay, bequeathed a vast estate to the Hôtel-<br />

<strong>Vineyard</strong>s located in Corton-Chaumes & Voierose, which is south and<br />
south-west facing land beside the road leading from Pernand to Aloxe, constitute<br />
37% of this Cuvée. <strong>The</strong>se vines were planted in 1976, 1982 and 1985.<br />
Corton-Bressandes makes up the next largest constituent, with half the parcel<br />
dating from 1940, the balance being Clos du Roy and Grèves.<br />

2006 Corton Pougets<br />
Domaine des Heritieres Louis Jadot_ _____________________ Sale 59.97<br />
“Bright medium red. Highly perfumed nose<br />
combines red berries, cherry, dried flowers,<br />
spices and earth. Precise but quite tightly<br />
wound, with an almost medicinal austerity to<br />
its flavors of minerals, flowers, spices and mint.<br />
Offer lovely inner-mouth perfume and verve<br />
but not quite the volume of a top grand cru.<br />
But this rather feminine style of Corton finishes<br />
with excellent grip and length.” Steve Tanzer,<br />
rated 91+/100<br />
“Even after the bottling the nose remains highly expressive with notes of freshly<br />
crushed berries, in particular cranberry, earth and a touch of spice that merges<br />
into intense and mineral-infused medium-bodied flavors that turn reticent and<br />
austere on the impressively long finish. Just as it was from barrel, this is beautifully<br />
balanced but it remains on the grumpy side and is going to need a long<br />
cellar snooze before it will play nicely with others. In sum, this is a Corton that<br />
makes no concessions to the “early accessibility” mantra so many present day<br />
wines adhere to - patience required. Tasted April 1, 2009; Drink 2018+.”<br />

<strong>The</strong> winery’s ultimate goat is to produce<br />

recently as winemaker of eight years at Hartford Family <strong>Wine</strong>ry. Under his<br />
leadership, Hartford became one of California’s best producers of Pinot Noir,<br />
Chardonnay and old-vine Zinfandel. In recognition of his skills, Mike was<br />
named <strong>Wine</strong> Personality of the Year by Robert Parker, Jr. in 2002 and was<br />

great as the 2003, and such legends as 1990 and 1978…it is<br />
utterly profound – full-bodied and multidimensional with astonishing<br />
purity, length, equilibrium, and intensity. This is a superb<br />
vintage for the Avrils, and Vincent deserves huge accolades for producing a<br />

2008 is a spectacular vintage. <strong>The</strong> various Merlot grapes from different vineyards<br />
and blocks show so well individually that the final blend ended up being<br />
comprised of 100% Merlot. <strong>The</strong> last time they had a 100% Merlot was in the<br />
remarkable vintage of 2000, and that wine is still drinking beautifully—speaking<br />
to the stand-alone capabilities of Merlot. I’d be proud to serve this wine<br />
blind against any straight Merlot from anywhere in the world, including<br />

After twenty years at<br />
the helm of the Stimson Lane wine group (Chateau Ste.<br />
Michelle, Columbia Crest and other wineries), Allen Shoup<br />
retired to pursue a personal dream. For years he had envisioned<br />
a joint venture with highly acclaimed winemakers<br />
from different regions of the world. His goal was to bring their expertise to<br />
Washington to create some of the most luxurious wines ever crafted from the<br />
region’s fabled viniferous grapes. <strong>Wine</strong>s that stand shoulder to shoulder with<br />
the world’s best.<br />
“Build it and they will come.” Actively encouraged by his associates, including<br />
long time friend and mentor, Robert G. Mondavi, Allen did just that. He<br />
invited several of the world’s most venturesome and exciting vintners to the<br />
sunny slopes where the Snake River and the Yakima River flow into the mighty<br />
Columbia. With their enthusiastic support and advice, Allen drew up plans to<br />
establish individual wineries that would reflect the status and acclaim of each<br />
vintner. He named the venture “Long Shadow Vintners,” in tribute to this<br />
select group of individuals, who shape the industry with their benchmark wines<br />
and wineries.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Long Shadows project includes seven wineries, each produced by a worldrenowned<br />
winemaker. <strong>The</strong>y are:<br />
—Poet’s Leap by Armin Diel of Germany.<br />
—Sequel by John Duval of Australia.<br />

Rated 93/100, <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />
Jolie & Luc Morlet<br />
“This is a brilliant portfolio of wines from Frenchman<br />
Luc Morlet. Production for these cuvees ranges from<br />
a low of 75 cases for several of the Chardonnays and<br />
Pinot Noirs, to a high of 660 cases for the Semillon/<br />
Sauvignon Blanc/Muscadelle blend called La<br />
Proportion Doree. Only indigenous yeasts are used in<br />
the fermentations as well as 100% French oak barrels,<br />
there is no fining or filtration, and all the wines are<br />
made with a hand-crafted zeal for high quality. <strong>The</strong><br />
2007 and 2008 Chardonnays would make a tremendous<br />
comparative tasting to decide which vintage<br />
turned out better…I suspect the only way to secure<br />
any of the Morlet Family <strong>Vineyard</strong>s’ wines is to get<br />
on their mailing list.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />

Burgundy’s<br />
Grande Dame<br />
2007 Rhone Valley<br />
No name enlivens and ignites a discussion of Burgundy as quickly as Lalou Bize-Leroy. She is unrelenting<br />
in every aspect, from personality to charm and quality to the very wine in the bottle. <strong>The</strong> Leroy<br />
family’s 50% ownership of Domaine Romanée-Conti gave Madame Leroy ample ability to amass the<br />
deepest and most revered cellar in Burgundy over the last 60+ years. Speculation is rampant about its<br />
size and holdings. Guesses range from 1.5 to 2.5 million bottles. Only one person knows for sure.<br />
With an astute (and legendary) palate and relentless standards, she hunts out some of the most surprising<br />
and thrilling parcels each vintage, and never fails to impress with her depth and understanding of<br />
the most hidden corners of Burgundy’s terroir.<br />

Blockbusters on a Budget<br />
Affordable Indulgence<br />
2007 Louis Martini Cabernet Sauvignon County (California)______ 14.97<br />
“…blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest the other<br />
Bordeaux varietals. An exquisite value, this is a seductive, fleshy,<br />
fruity wine with excellent texture, body, and balance. Lots of cassis<br />
as well as silky tannins characterize this top bargain pick!…”<br />
<strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 90/100<br />
2007 Angel’s Landing Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley (California)_ _ 16.99<br />
<strong>The</strong> 2007 Angels Landing Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a<br />
big, rich wine, exhibiting aromas of dark fruits —blackberry and<br />
plum come to mind—and cocoa. <strong>The</strong>se notes carry through on<br />
the palate, which adds in hints of vanilla and perhaps a touch of<br />
tobacco leaf. <strong>The</strong> wine is solidly structured, with mild tannins.<br />
<strong>The</strong> ‘07 Napa Valley Cab should hold up in the cellar for five<br />
years or more, but is completely enjoyable at this point. One of<br />
the best qualities of this wine is its price—just $17 per bottle! One<br />
taste and you’ll see that it will hold its own against wines in the<br />
$30 and up range—it is easily one of the best buys we’ve seen all year long, and<br />
comes in at a time when a great value is highly appreciated!<br />
2008 Borsao Tres Picos (Spain)_______________________ 16.99<br />
“Opaque purple. Exotically perfumed bouquet of dark<br />
berry preserves, smoky minerals, potpourri and Indian<br />
spices, with a strong note of cracked pepper; smells like a<br />
high-end northern Rhone wine. Very spicy and tightly<br />
focused, offering juicy red and dark berry flavors and sexy<br />
notes of candied flowers and cocoa powder. Finishes with<br />
a wallop of sweet red berries and lingering, seductive spiciness; as ridiculous a<br />
value as one can find these days. <strong>The</strong> yield for this wine was reportedly under<br />
two tons per acre.” Steve Tanzer, rated 91/100<br />
2007 Can Blau (Spain)___________________________ 14.99<br />
“<strong>The</strong> 2007 Can Blau is purple-colored with a nose of cedar,<br />
mineral, baking spices, blueberry, and black cherry. This<br />
leads to a full-bodied wine with layers of flavor, enough<br />
structure to evolve for 2-3 years, and a pure, fruit-filled<br />
finish. It will be at its peak from <strong>2010</strong> to 2018.” <strong>Wine</strong><br />
Advocate, rated 90+/100<br />
2007 Coudoulet de Beaucastel (France)_ _________________ 29.99<br />
“<strong>The</strong> blockbuster 2007 Cotes du Rhone Coudoulet,<br />
always one of the best bargains from the south, may be<br />
the finest Coudoulet ever produced. A blend of 30%<br />
Mourvedre, 30% Grenache and the rest Syrah, Cinsault,<br />
and a few other authorized varietals, is incredibly opulent<br />
and rich, with sensational notes of black currants,<br />
licorice, smoked herbs, and meat juices, a full-bodied<br />
mouthfeel, savory tannins, and good acidity as well as length. This outstanding<br />
wine can be drunk now or cellared for 10-15 years.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated<br />
92/100<br />
2007 Foxglove Zinfandel (California)_ ___________________ 14.99<br />
“<strong>The</strong> outstanding 2007 Zinfandel (86% Zinfandel and 14%<br />
Petite Sirah) is another winner and phenomenal bargain. This is<br />
classic Zinfandel with loads of berry fruit, pepper, earth, and<br />
roasted Provencal herbs. <strong>The</strong> wine is pure, full-bodied, ripe, with<br />
not a hard edge to be found.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />
2007 Foxglove Cabernet Sauvignon (California)_ _____________ 14.99<br />
“ Foxglove also scores highly with their 10,800-case cuvee of 2007<br />
Cabernet Sauvignon. A blend of all-Paso Robles fruit and composed<br />
of 94% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petit Verdot and<br />
Cabernet Franc, the wine has a dense ruby/purple color and plenty<br />
of black fruit intermixed with loamy soil undertones, licorice, and spice. <strong>The</strong> wine<br />
is luscious and. medium to full-bodied , with silky tannins and a heady, opulent<br />
finish. Drink it over the next 2-4 years, although it could last a lot longer.” <strong>Wine</strong><br />
Advocate<br />
2006 Le Conseiller (France)__________________________ 27.99<br />
“A top-notch effort from Jean-Philippe Janoueix, this blend of<br />
90% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc is a sleeper of the vintage.<br />
Its deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by sweet blackberry<br />
and black currant fruit, licorice, earth, and camphor notes, a<br />
fleshy, succulent mid-palate, and a ripe finish. A very good wine<br />
from a humble appellation, qualitatively it transcends it pedigree. Excellent<br />
value.”<br />
Chateau Le Conseiller was purchased in 1996 by the young Jean-Philippe Janoueix<br />
(Le Croix Saint-Georges, La Confession & Chabrun). With its exceptional soils,<br />
and the vision of the young winemaker, this estate has brought a new level of quality<br />
and creativity to the area.<br />
2006 Nicholas Cole Cellars GraEagle Red Wing (Washington State)____ 24.99<br />
A play on words, Red Wing is their proprietary blend that changes<br />
each year. A table wine of excellent refinement, it is a Bordeaux<br />
style wine, showcasing the best grapes the harvest has to offer. Each<br />
bottle is carefully crafted and blended for the ultimate balance of<br />
concentration, complexity and grace while remaining true to Walla<br />
Walla Valley terroir. Production is extremely limited.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 2006 GraEagle Red <strong>Wine</strong> is a Walla Walla Valley estate blend of 38%<br />
Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc, 18% Merlot, 6% Syrah and 3% Petit<br />
Verdot.<br />
2007 Robert Karl Claret Horse Heaven Hills (Washington State)_____ 21.99<br />
2007 was a warm, dry vintage in Washington. Plenty of summer heat produced<br />
grapes with wonderful intensity, deep, dark color and great balance.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 2007 Horse Heaven Hills Claret (red wine) is a blend of 55%<br />
Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc, 10% Petit<br />
Verdot, and 5% Malbec. <strong>The</strong> fruit was sourced from their estate<br />
vines at Gunselman Bench, Andrews Horse Heaven Ranch,<br />
McKinley <strong>Spring</strong>s and Phinny Hill vineyards. It was aged in 70% French oak and<br />
30% American oak for 21 months, 50% of the oak was new. <strong>The</strong> ideal consumption<br />
is 2 to 5 years from release date, but this wine will develop for another 5-7<br />
years. <strong>The</strong> alcohol by volume is 13.5 %. This wine was bottled August 4, 2009.<br />
2005 <strong>The</strong> Paring Red <strong>Wine</strong> by Jonata (California)_ ____________ 24.99<br />
“Cassis, plum and grilled meat notes jump out from the glass from the<br />
Bordeaux varieties. Hints of mushroom, strawberry, truffle and lifted<br />
violet from the Sangiovese emerge from the wine as it sits in the glass.<br />
Powerful nose with a complexity similar to the Sangiovese based wines<br />
of Italy. Smoke, fruit and flowers. Smooth and generous on the palate<br />
with black fruit and earth intermingling. Finishes with melted tannins<br />
and a cleansing touch of Sangiovese acidity.” Matt Dees, winemaker of Jonata<br />
2007 <strong>The</strong> Paring White <strong>Wine</strong> by Jonata (California)_ ___________ 19.99<br />
“Honeysuckle, grapefruit peel, jasmine and mineral nuances on the nose.<br />
Honey and bees wax. Slight hints of toasty oak. Rich and round on the<br />
palate. Semillon gives density and weight in the mouth. Sauvignon<br />
Blanc keeps the wine fresh, while the perfume from Viognier continues<br />
to shine through on the finish.” Matt Dees, winemaker of Jonata<br />
2007 <strong>The</strong> Paring Pinot Noir by Jonata (California)_ ____________ 24.99<br />
“A dizzying array of dark chocolate, cake batter, black licorice, lifted<br />
black cherry, plums, black pepper, thyme and cured meats. Floral and<br />
perfumed. Velvet fruit on the entry. Plum skin. Bright red fruit and<br />

2007 <strong>The</strong> Table Red <strong>Wine</strong> (California)_ ___________________ 19.99<br />
For centuries, the great restaurants of France have worked with their<br />
favorite winemakers to create a unique and exclusive “vins de maison”.<br />
<strong>The</strong>se wines are considered as essential an element of the dining<br />
experience as the food and the service. Once <strong>Wine</strong>s and its<br />
winemaker, Sashi Moorman, together with the chefs and wine directors<br />
of some of the the nation’s best restaurants create unique “vins<br />
de maison” for the dining tables at such restaurants as Craft, Restaurant Daniel,<br />
Thomas Keller’s Bouchon Bistro, Restaurant Michael Mina and Restaurant Jean<br />
Georges. <strong>The</strong>se wines are made from grapes sourced from some of Napa Valley’s<br />
best growing regions and are created with the same care as the refined cuisine of<br />
each of our restaurant partners. Sashi has selected one of these unique cuvees to<br />
celebrate the “American Table” and for the first time this wine is available outside<br />
of their restaurants through their exclusive retail partners. Please make these wines<br />
your own “vins de maison” and celebrate the most important Table in America,<br />
yours.<br />

Conditions of Sale for Pre-1980 Vintage<br />
Ports:<br />
• Before 1975, Vintage Port was commonly<br />
bottled in London, thus they may not have<br />
what you consider to be standard labels. <strong>The</strong>y<br />
may even be typed.<br />
• It’s common for the labels to be worn (with<br />
scratches and/ or small tears) and have dried<br />
stains on them.<br />
• <strong>The</strong> capsules may be worn, slightly torn or<br />
have dried stains on them.<br />
• <strong>The</strong> Portuguese strip of authenticity, usually<br />
located under the capsule, may be worn, torn<br />
or missing.<br />
• <strong>The</strong> bottles are commonly dusty.<br />
• <strong>The</strong> corks are generally quite fragile and<br />
might crumble upon opening.<br />
• Sediment should be expected - the older the<br />
wine, the more sediment.<br />
• Fill levels will vary - for example a 1970<br />
Vintage is 35+ years old thus a mid-shoulder<br />
level is considered acceptable.<br />
<strong>The</strong> Symington Family<br />
Martinez was founded in 1790 by the Spaniard<br />
Sebastian Gonzalez Martinez, who sold Port,<br />
sherry and cigars from an office in Mincing Lane<br />
in the City of London. In 1822 he was joined by<br />
an Englishman, John Peter Gassiot, a Member of<br />
<strong>The</strong> Royal Society and a great friend of Faraday<br />
the famous scientist. By the time Sebastian<br />
Martinez retired in 1849, the company had<br />
become the largest shipper of Port to<br />
the UK, with its own lodges in<br />
Oporto acquired in 1834. Martinez<br />
Gassiot was well known for its swift<br />
sailing ships, the “Betsy” and the<br />
“Maria Manuela”, which carried its<br />
wines from Oporto to the West<br />
Country of England. In fact it is<br />
recorded that the “Maria Manuela”<br />
was one of the last sailing boats<br />
of its kind to carry Port before<br />
this method of transport was<br />
supplanted by the age of<br />
steam.<br />
Martinez produced some outstanding<br />
Vintage Ports in the<br />
20th Century. James Suckling<br />
wrote in the <strong>Wine</strong> Spectator of<br />
the 1994 Martinez Vintage<br />
Port. “<strong>The</strong> sleeper of the vintage.<br />
A stunning, huge, amazingly<br />
young Port that makes<br />
your mouth pucker in delight.<br />
Full-bodied and medium-sweet,<br />
with masses of fruit and tannins.<br />
Best after 2012.” 97 out<br />

“…an expressive bouquet of smoke, minerals, damp earth, spice box, cherry,<br />
and raspberry. Moderately structured on the palate with excellent depth and<br />
savory fruit, this lengthy, substantial Pinot will evolve for 2-3 years and drink<br />
well from 2011 to 2019.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 92/100<br />
“Firm in texture, with raspberry and strawberry flavors rolling easily over a bed<br />
of fine tannins, picking up floral and bay leaf notes as the finish lingers. 250<br />
cases made.” <strong>Wine</strong> Spectator, rated 91/100<br />
“<strong>The</strong> reputation for this extraordinary estate was largely created<br />
by the eccentric but charmingly devilish Jacques Reynaud,<br />
who died of a massive heart attack in January 1997. His<br />
nephew, Emmanuel, and sister (who looks amazingly like her<br />
brother) now manage the estate. In my personal collection<br />
there are a few wines with which I would never part. Among<br />
the few ‘untouchables’ are the finest vintages of Rayas. In<br />
some vintages, Rayas reaches a level of sumptuousness and<br />
extraordinary intensity, allied with an opulence in texture and<br />
flavor, that can even humble a great Bordeaux or Burgundy.”<br />

admirably ripe for the vintage—with well-structured plum sauce, graphite,<br />
loam and spice flavors moving through the fine-grained finish.” <strong>Wine</strong> Spectator,<br />

2002 Vina Almaviva_________________________________ 74.99<br />
“<strong>The</strong> 2002 Almaviva is the finest produced to date by this joint venture between<br />
Vina Concha y Toro and the Baron Philippe de Rothschild. This Cabernet<br />
Sauvignon-based wine has a saturated, opaque, black ruby color as well as nose<br />
of sweet dark fruits, spices, and vanilla-laced smoky new oak. On the palate,<br />
this medium to full-bodied effort is broad, lush, and velvety-textured.<br />
Blackberries, cassis liqueur, and black cherries make up this deep, seamless<br />
wine’s flavor profile. It is concentrated, has outstanding balance, and a long,<br />
suave, ripe tannin-filled finish.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 93/100<br />

“A<br />
lois Kracher, Jr., was one of Austria’s most prominent wine<br />
personalities, creating profound Trockenbeerenauslesen that<br />
number among the greatest sweet wines in the world. While his<br />
father had already been making wines at the family estate in Illmitz,<br />
on the eastern shores of Lake Neusiedl, it was Kracher who, in the<br />
early 1980s, created the style of wine for which the estate is now<br />
known. Sadly, Kracher passed away in December of 2007 at only 48<br />
years of age, after a battle with cancer. His son, Gerhard, involved<br />
with the winery since 2000, continues to carry on his father’s work.”<br />

“I have said it so many times that it may seem redundant, but “let me repeat it -<br />
Lalou Bize-Leroy stands alone at the top of Burgundy’s quality hierachy.<br />
Because she is a perfectionist, and because she has the courage to produce wines<br />
from low yield and bottle them naturally, without fining or filtration.” <strong>Wine</strong><br />

2007 Bourgogne Rouge<br />
<strong>The</strong> Bourgogne Rouge has an abundance of dark cherry fruit and deep notes of<br />
earthiness. <strong>The</strong> tannins are round and smooth with good structure, balanced<br />
acidity and a long finish.<br />
Pascal Danjean<br />
Danjean-Berthoux<br />
A relatively unknown winemaker in the U.S., Pascal Danjean inherited his family<br />
vineyards and decided to strike away from the path of his parents, who had<br />
sold the grapes off in bulk. He has slowly built the winery from scratch over the<br />
years to almost 30 acres today. He began bottling for himself in 1993, and it<br />
has been everyone’s good fortune. As Allen Meadows noted recently in<br />
Burghound: “Danjean is clearly a talent.”<br />
2007 Bourgogne Rouge<br />
A high toned nose of bright cherry fruit and earth leads to<br />
similar notes on the palate, framed by a bit of spice.<br />
Extremely fresh and lively, with a lingering finish of red<br />
fruit and minerals. A simple, yet beautiful wine.<br />

<strong>Wine</strong>maker’s Comments:<br />
<strong>The</strong> Quilceda Creek 2006 Galitzine <strong>Vineyard</strong> Cabernet Sauvignon from the<br />
Red Mountain A.V.A is from a vineyard partnership between our family and<br />
the Holmes family of the highly acclaimed Ciel du Cheval <strong>Vineyard</strong>. This high<br />
density vineyard (2074 plants/acre) was planted in 2000 and 2001 with Clone<br />
8 Cabernet Sauvignon on windblown Hezel over Warden soils. <strong>The</strong>se deep,<br />
consistent, sandy loam soils are ideal for root development, vine health and<br />
vineyard uniformity. <strong>The</strong> 2006 offers wonderful aromas and flavors of deep<br />
blackberry, black walnut, espresso, truffles and pipe tobacco. <strong>The</strong> first two<br />
vintages received 97 points from <strong>The</strong> <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, making them instant classics,<br />
and this vintage is their qualitative equal. Aged in 100% new French oak<br />
for 22 months, this 100% Cabernet Sauvignon displays the wonderful terroir<br />
of the Galitzine <strong>Vineyard</strong>. This wine will drink beautifully for the next 30<br />
years.<br />
Reviews:<br />
<strong>International</strong> <strong>Wine</strong> Cellar, Nov./Dec. 2009<br />
“Deep ruby-red. Sweet blackberry, cassis, licorice pastille<br />
and violet on the nose, plus a whiff of mocha. Very fresh<br />
flavors of crushed blackberry, bitter chocolate and menthol<br />
boast excellent definition and lift, with exotic floral<br />
and spice notes adding nuance. <strong>The</strong> most complete vintage<br />
yet for this bottling, finishing with suave, building tannins and complex<br />
notes of cocoa powder, dried flowers and incense. Not at all overly sweet.<br />
Especially remarkable in light of the fact that these vines were planted in 2001<br />
and 2002.” Rated 94/100<br />
<strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, #185, October 2009<br />
“<strong>The</strong> 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Galitzine <strong>Vineyard</strong>, located in the Red<br />
Mountain AVA, is 100% varietal. Dark ruby/purple in color, it delivers an<br />
enticing nose of pain grille, pencil lead, earth notes, spice box, violets, and<br />
assorted black fruits. On the palate it is dense, ripe,<br />
full-bodied, and structured. Still a bit tightly wound,<br />
it will reveal its full potential with another 5-7 years<br />
of cellaring. It will provide much pleasure from 2015<br />

does the luscious medium-bodied texture on<br />
the palate. <strong>The</strong> wine is buttressed by crisp<br />
underlying acidity, and the result is a fresh, naked expression of Chardonnay<br />
that is top-flight.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />
2007 Zinfandel__________________________________ 14.99<br />
“<strong>The</strong> outstanding 2007 Zinfandel (86% Zinfandel and 14% Petite Sirah) is<br />
another winner and phenomenal bargain. This is classic Zinfandel with loads<br />
of berry fruit, pepper, earth, and roasted Provencal herbs. <strong>The</strong> wine is pure,<br />
full-bodied, ripe, with not a hard edge to be found.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />
2007 Cabernet Sauvignon____________________________ 14.99<br />
“ Foxglove also scores highly with their 10,800-<br />
case cuvee of 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon. A blend<br />
of all-Paso Robles fruit and composed of 94%<br />
Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Petit Verdot<br />
and Cabernet Franc, the wine has a dense ruby/<br />
purple color and plenty of black fruit intermixed<br />
with loamy soil undertones, licorice, and spice.<br />
<strong>The</strong> wine is luscious and. medium to full-bodied<br />
, with silky tannins and a heady, opulent finish. Drink it over the next 2-4 years,<br />
although it could last a lot longer.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />

“Of course, 2007 (Pinot Noir) is a more fragrant, purer vintage from an integrity perspective, so those wines will be a no-brainer…I<br />
must offer a word of advice: don’t dare ignore the brilliant Zinfandels and Chardonnays that Cabral turns out. <strong>The</strong>y are not as<br />
renowned as the single-vineyard Pinots, but they are top-flight wines.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />
“<strong>The</strong> fruit that was brought into the winery in 2007 was as perfect as I’ve ever seen,” said winemaker Bob Cabral: “clean and incredibly<br />

2008 Chaleur Estate Blanc_ ___________________________ 34.99<br />
“A 62/38 blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Semillon. Sexy aromas of orange blossom<br />
and almond, plus a whiff of Rainier cherry. Sweet, concentrated and fat,<br />
with subtle honeyed quality to the sexy fruit and smoke flavors. A leesy complexity<br />
adds to the wine’s appeal. This boasts terrific intensity for Washington<br />
State white wine and finishes with superb persistence. <strong>The</strong> percentage of new<br />
oak used for this cuvee has declined steadily from 100% in 2005 to 60% in<br />
this 2008, and I applaud this strategy.” Steve Tanzer, rated 93/100<br />
Earlier vintages (‘05 & ‘06) were big hits with Robert Parker “…could easily<br />
pass for a top Pessac-Leognan such as Fieuzal or Smith Haut Lafitte.” And<br />
Steve Tanzer said of the 2007. “This belongs on the same table as a top tier<br />
white Bordeaux; I was reminded of Domaine de Chevalier! One of the most<br />
exciting whites I’ve tasted to date from Washington.”<br />

in Washington. Dark ruby-colored, it offers up a fragrant nose of wood smoke,<br />
sage, mineral, incense, black currant, and blackberry. Smooth-textured, ripe,<br />

has participated in organizing an association<br />

its promotion. Lafon could have sat<br />

“Impressive portfolio…All of these offerings reveal beautiful balance, suppleness and intensity.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />
“It’s quite rare, however, for the very first vintage of a wine to knock my socks off. But when I got my first taste of<br />
Blackbird <strong>Vineyard</strong>s out of the barrel a couple of years ago, I quite literally couldn’t bring myself to spit it out. I<br />
was immediately in love…I’ve been watching the Blackbird brand evolve, and tasting the wines along the way and<br />
I continue to be thrilled with them. I don’t personally buy many Napa wines on release, but Blackbird is most<br />
certainly one of them.” Vinography<br />

Biodynamics. (Bio=life) + (Dynamics = in action)<br />
Love for vines and wine and the awareness of the need<br />
to respect the earth and its terroir have led the Maison M.<br />
Chapoutier to adopt a biodynamic cultivation method.<br />
This demanding technique of wine growing has become a<br />
genuine philosophy for Maison M. Chapoutier.<br />
Michel<br />
Chapoutier,<br />
the 7th<br />
generation<br />
to lead his<br />
family’s firm.<br />
An unflinching desire: ensure that soils are living and as expressive as possible.<br />
As to propose an “appellation d’origine contrôlée” is to propose above all<br />
an expression of the terroir. This expression, consisting in a transmutation of<br />
mineral to vegetal, can only exist with a terroir that is in good condition, a terroir<br />
that is alive.<br />
Auguste Clape, Ron Junge and Pierre-Marie Clape<br />
“<strong>The</strong> tasting I conducted in Marcel Lapierre’s<br />
courtyard was one of the great experiences of my<br />
life. <strong>The</strong> Gang of Four, composed of Marcel<br />
Lapierre, Jean Foillard, Guy Breton (“Max”), and<br />
Jean-Paul <strong>The</strong>venet, are capable of producing<br />
superb, eye-popping Beaujolais. Readers with a propensity<br />
to believe that Beaujolais is not serious wine<br />
will find their preconceived notions shattered if they<br />
take the trouble to taste one of these<br />
Morgons…<strong>The</strong>se Morgons are delicious<br />
young, and can age remarkably well, as evidenced<br />
by a recently tasted 1985 from Marcel<br />
Lapierre. It is awesomely rich, full-flavored,<br />
extremely complex, and has evolved better<br />
than many of the Burgundies from the Côte<br />
d’Or…<strong>The</strong> art for Lapierre and the other<br />
three members of the Gang of Four is to respect the fruit. Unlike the vast<br />
majority of their neighbors in the Beaujolais, the Gang of Four harvest moderate<br />
yields by hand, use little sulphur, if any, almost never chaptalise, and have<br />
never acidified. Furthermore, these wines are neither fined nor filtered…this<br />
philosophy can lead to some of the finest Beaujolais ever crafted.” <strong>Wine</strong><br />

In 1990, Mike was hired to be the Head <strong>Wine</strong>maker at<br />
Chateau Ste. Michelle <strong>Wine</strong>ry. Over the course of the next<br />
nine years, he played a critical role in its development into a<br />
world class winery. During his tenure, Chateau Ste. Michelle<br />
was consistently recognized for the high quality of their<br />
wines. Literally dozens of Januik-made wines have<br />
received 90-plus scores in <strong>Wine</strong> Spectator.<br />
(During 1997 and 1998 alone, the <strong>Wine</strong><br />
Spectator gave eighteen of his wines a score of<br />
90 or above.) In 1999, <strong>Wine</strong> Enthusiast<br />
Magazine named Mike one of the<br />

<strong>International</strong> Rosé<br />
“Savvy sippers in Europe have long known the power of pink. Rosé wines are not only refreshing, but they pair with a great<br />
range of food from salads and seafood to steak. But in this country, they’ve often been the unfashionable clunky shoes at a<br />
party full of sexy high heels. However, that’s starting to shift as rosé wines are experiencing a renaissance of sorts in the<br />
New World. More rosé is being imported into the United States than ever before, and California winemakers are also producing<br />
more of it. <strong>Wine</strong> drinkers are realizing the new breed of dry rosés is not the sweet stuff of years past.” Drinks<br />

Merlot and Cab Franc, given a four-hour soak and then fermented in neutral oak,<br />

2007 Kapcsandy State Lane Rosé Napa Valley_ ____________________ 24.99<br />

Robert Parker wrote that Kapscandy’s 2006 was “the finest rosé I’ve tasted in years.”<br />

2008 Niebaum Coppola Sofia Pinot Noir Rosé Carneros________________ 17.99<br />

fruit while being dry and refreshing on the palate.<br />
2008 Sola Rosa Rosé Russian River__________________ 16.99<br />
This year, the classic SoloRosa blend is made principally from Syrah<br />

remains dry in the signature SoloRosa style.<br />

refined as the other three.<br />
2007 Château D’Esclans Esclans_ ____________________________ 24.99<br />

of the four.<br />
Our Favorites<br />
2009 Tensley Lea Tierra Alta Syrah Rosé<br />
Jennifer (Joey’s wife) makes her rosé from a single vineyard and a single clone, in this case the Tablas 99 clone from Tierra Alta<br />
vineyard. Jennifer and her six-year-old son Oliver crushed the grape for this Rosé with their feet (their very clean feet). Half of the<br />
fruit remained on the skins for only three hours before being pressed to neutral French oak barrels. <strong>The</strong> other half stayed on the<br />
skins overnight before going into barrel. <strong>The</strong> resulting wine is rich in color with a silky, rounded mouthfeel and a crisp, refreshing<br />
finish. Look for notes of rose petals, strawberries, and guava complemented by hints of earth and minerality.<br />
This wine pairs beautifully with spicy Mexican or Asian dishes as well as the Cajun cuisine of<br />
Jennifer’s hometown, New Orleans - who dat! It should be enjoyed over the next two years.<br />

2008 Domaine Lafond Tavel_ ______________________________ 16.99<br />
“Fair prices and exuberant fruit make it easy for Domaine Lafond’s wines to attract<br />
fans. Whether it be their exquisite Tavel rose, their delicious Cotes du Rhones, or<br />
their most ambitious wines, the Chateauneuf du Papes, all are noteworthy efforts.”<br />
<strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />
2009 Domaine de la Mordorée Côtes du Rhône_ ___________________ 14.99<br />
Pink, slightly orange color (mordorée color). Aromas of crystallized oranges and<br />
cherries, hints of aniseed. Very round palate, fresh and a long finish.<br />
2009 Domaine de la Mordorée Tavel_ _________________________ 22.99<br />
Steady pink, brilliant and limpid color. Very complex nose with flowers, red and<br />
white fruits aromas. Round, full bodied with a long lasting aniseed and fruity finish.<br />
2008 Domaine de la Mordoree Tavel_ _________________________ 19.99<br />
Selected by Robert Parker as “One of <strong>The</strong> World’s Great <strong>Wine</strong> Estates.” He also<br />
said, “Some of the finest rosés from southern France emerge from Mordoree.”<br />
Tavel has often been called the king of rosé.<br />
2008 Domaine Ott Bandol Rosé Les Domaniers_ ___________________ 21.99<br />
Within the past few years, Domaine Ott has skyrocketed in popularity among the<br />
hip European crowd, and this sophisticated rosé is now all the rage on the east<br />
coast as well. This unique Domaine Ott has a bouquet of aromatic fruits and<br />
spices, along with apricot and grapefruit. Delicate, vivid flavors of the grape dance<br />
across the palate, offering a refreshing counterpoint to a wide spectrum of fresh<br />
summer dishes.<br />
From South Africa<br />
2009 Mulderbosch Cabernet Sauvignon Rosé______________________ 11.99<br />
“This is almost criminally inexpensive for such an utterly charming wine that takes<br />
you right into a field of strawberries on a beautiful, clear day.” Wall Street Journal<br />
From South America<br />
Joey Tensley<br />
2009 Maipe Malbec Rosé_ ____________________ 12.99<br />
Dry in the style of European Rosés, this is as elegant and inspiring<br />
as a walk through the rose garden midsummer. You will<br />
definitely want a bottle or to of this ruby beauty for lunch or<br />
dinner.<br />

2008 Leonetti Merlot Walla Walla Valley<br />
2008 is a spectacular vintage. <strong>The</strong> various Merlot grapes from different vineyards and<br />
blocks show so well individually that the final blend ended up being comprised of 100%<br />
Merlot. <strong>The</strong> last time they had a 100% Merlot was in the remarkable vintage of 2000, and<br />
that wine is still drinking beautifully—speaking to the stand-alone capabilities of Merlot.<br />
I’d be proud to serve this wine blind against any straight Merlot from anywhere in the<br />
world, including Pomerol.<br />

2008 Eroica<br />
“Eroica is the finest dry Riesling I’ve tasted from the United<br />
States” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />
“Eroica may well be the best dry Riesling made in the<br />
United States…This is truly a world-class wine, capable of<br />
holding its own with top renditions from Alsace and<br />
Germany.” <strong>The</strong> Washington Times<br />
“<strong>The</strong> 10th vintage of Eroica (2008) may be the<br />
best ever.” <strong>Wine</strong> Enthusiast<br />
“It seems as if Eroica gets more precise with each vintage.<br />
<strong>The</strong> joint venture between Ernst Loosen and Chateau<br />
Ste. Michelle produced a 2008 that’s simply brilliant,<br />
its scents of Thai pineapple and passionfruit leading to<br />
limelike flavors hurried along by rippling acidity.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s tension between the brisk and creamy textures,<br />
a contrast of generosity and mineral edges.”<br />
<strong>Wine</strong> & Spirits, rated 94/100<br />
“It’s supremely fresh, spicy, and mineral-driven. <strong>The</strong><br />
well-textured mouthfeel runs the gamut from celery,<br />

Rated 90/100, <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />
“Bright, green-tinged yellow. Candied lemon peel, resin and a minty nuance on<br />
the floral nose. Fat and sweet, but with lovely cut to the pungent citrus and<br />
medicinal herb flavors. A fining will reduce the bitterness of this wine and it<br />
should develop a crème brûlée character with aging, 2008 than in 2007. Just a<br />
hint of alcohol on the back end of this rather 2008 than in 2007. Just a hint of<br />
alcohol on the back end of this rather powerful and uncompromisingly dry<br />
wine…” Steve Tanzer, rated 89-91/100<br />
2007 Chardonnay Napa Valley__________________________ 39.99<br />
“Pretty aromas of pineapple, green apple, white flowers and mint, plus hints of<br />
lees and butterscotch; smells like a ripe Chablis. Juicy, spicy and moderately<br />
fleshy; quite dry but opened nicely and expanded with aeration. Comes across<br />
as a bit more phenolic than the 2006 version but finishes with bright fruit and<br />
good acid grip. Ric Forman picked this fruit very early in 2007 because the<br />
grapes were “losing it above 23 degrees Brix. We need acidic grapes to retain<br />
minerality.” Forman’s wine remains among the most consistently successful-and<br />
ageworthy-Napa examples of no-malolactic chardonnay.” Steve Tanzer, rated<br />

“<strong>The</strong> 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon is sweeter and more opulent,<br />
with sweet cassis as well as much more exuberance and<br />
flamboyance, as it was a slightly riper year, but great structure<br />
in the mouth, terrific fruit purity, and oodles of black currant and cassis<br />
fruit intermixed with some licorice, subtle smoke, and spice.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate,<br />
rated 93/100<br />
“2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley (includes 12% Cabernet Franc, 8%<br />
Petit Verdot and 5% Merlot) Bright red-ruby. Aromas of crushed cassis, tar,<br />
licorice and minerals. Sweet, lush and broad, but with harmonious acidity and<br />
underlying minerality giving shape to the blackberry and tar flavors. This boasts<br />
lovely sweetness without any heaviness. Finishes with big, rich, palate-dusting<br />
tannins, very good breadth and a note of chocolatey oak. This will merit a score<br />
at the high end of my projected range if it carries its freshness and lift into the<br />
bottle.” Steve Tanzer, rated 91+/100<br />

Domaine Tempier, unquestionably the best producer of<br />
Bandol, is the province of Lucien Peyraud, an animated<br />
elf <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, Robert Parker called, “the most vivacious<br />
outgoing, charming and colorful proprietor I have<br />
ever met.” Peyraud and his wife Lulu have presided over<br />
more than 50 vintages, now assisted by sons Jean -Marie<br />
and Francois. <strong>The</strong>ir 64-acre estate includes the two best<br />
vineyard sites, known as La Tourtine and La Migoua,<br />
which from very old vines yield wines well worth seeking<br />
out for their quality and rarity. La Tourtine, dominated<br />
by mourvedre, is a brooding, backward wine; La Migoua<br />
is more feminine and forward. All of Peyraud’s lovinglymade,<br />
natural wines are, as Robert Parker put it, “quintessential<br />
Bandols, the appellations’s greatest, and revelations<br />
to those who have not tried them.”<br />

Gigondas<br />
Domaine de Font-Sane is one of the most rewarding stops in the lovely village<br />
of Gigondas, due in no small part to the enormous talent and gracious manner<br />
of the Veronique Peysson-Cunty. Passed down from father to daughter, Veronique<br />
is the 4th generation of the Peysson family to practice viticulture and<br />
wine making at this outstanding Gigondas estate. <strong>The</strong> average age of the vines<br />
at Font-Sane are nearly 40 years old. <strong>The</strong> youngest 20 year old vines are planted<br />
hundreds of meters up the foot of the Dentelles de Montmirail. Important parcels<br />
of 50+ year old vines are on the middle slopes. A small plot of 100 year old<br />
vines sits adjacent to the house and cellars on more level ground. <strong>The</strong> yields are<br />
low. <strong>The</strong> mix of grape varieties is weighted towards Grenache, but Veronique<br />
also puts fully 25% Syrah into its blend for Syrah’s elegant aromas of dark fruit<br />
and fresh wild green herbs and its firm structure. Lesser amounts of Cinsault<br />
and Mourvèdre are used. Both the complexity and the balance in Font-Sane’s<br />
Gigondas comes from the mix of 4 different grape varieties planted on 5 five<br />
soils with every conceivable exposure and at various elevations from 150 to 350<br />
meters. This creates an exceptionally diverse array of aromatics and structural<br />
characteristics. In blind tastings among the growers of Gigondas, Font-Sane is<br />
often chosen as the best of the appellation.<br />
“…reveals sweet raspberry and black cherry fruit intermixed with notions of<br />
flowers, cedar, garrigue, pepper, and crushed rocks. This full-bodied, lush<br />
Gigondas should drink nicely for a decade.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 90-92/100<br />
“Strongly perfumed, spicy aromas of fresh violet, raspberry, white pepper and<br />
minerals. Bright, sharply focused red berry flavors show silky texture and no<br />
rough edges. Finishes clean and energetic, with repeating red fruit notes. This<br />
reminded me of a rich Pinot Noir.” Steve Tanzer, rated 91/100<br />

“As I wrote last year, this is a fabulous success story, and one of<br />
the reasons why the wine world can be so exciting. Former<br />
Hungarian immigrant, Lou Kapcsandy, along with his wife,<br />
Roberta, and son, Louis, purchased Beringer’s old State Lane<br />
<strong>Vineyard</strong>, which was often a component part of the Private<br />
Reserve Cabernets, brought in Bordelais Denis Malbec to over<br />
look the winemaking (the vineyard was planted to the specifications<br />
of Helen Turley and John Wetlaufer), and in a few short<br />
years Kapcsandy began producing world class wines. His<br />
Roberta’s Reserve may be the finest Merlot-based wine in the<br />
New World.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />

Robert Parker wrote that Kapscandy’s 2006 was “the finest rosé I’ve tasted in<br />
years.” While the 2006 just sold out, the new 2007 is even better! Very limited,<br />
as only a few hundred cases are made.<br />
“An atypically deep colored, full-bodied, dry rosé with loads of personality… it<br />
is bursting with character.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />
Solaia<br />
Just to the east of Tignanello lies the remarkable 25-acre<br />
vineyard known as Solaia, the “sunny one”. Widely<br />
considered one of the best Cabernet blends in the world,<br />
Solaia is produced only in exceptional vintages. Smoothly<br />
blending the aromas of black pepper, coffee, chocolate,<br />
vanilla, and plum, Solaia is strikingly elegant with nicely<br />
blended tannins that support the sensation of sweetness<br />
and weight. Hints of licorice and coffee return in the impressively long finish.<br />

Tignanello<br />
Named after a choice vineyard on the property,<br />
Tignanello was introduced in 1973, and set the<br />
standard for exceptional Italian wine, pioneering<br />
a whole new category of luxury wines known as<br />
“Super Tuscans”. Tignanello is the first Sangiovese<br />
aged in small oak barrels: the first red wine<br />
in modern times to use a non-traditional grape<br />
variety (Cabernet) in the blend; and among the first red wines made in Chianti<br />
with no white grapes. Boasting an intense ruby red color with light garnet hues.<br />
Tignanello offers complex and harmonious aromas of tobacco, curry powder,<br />
blackberry and blackcurrant jam. Silky on the palate, this wine has a light hint of<br />
sweet, nicely rounded tannins in its persistent finish.<br />

Cabernet Franc is famous in Bordeaux, think Cheval Blanc or<br />
as it is showcased in Anjou-Touraine in the Loire. It grows<br />
exceptionally well in Washington State, so much so that winemaker<br />
Mike Neuffer decided to show off its beauty. Known to<br />
be light to medium in body with an immediate fruit character<br />
and a marked fragrance, this wine is no exception. <strong>The</strong> terroir<br />
in Walla Walla adds a little something to the nose not seen in<br />
the old world, and we are quite fond of it. 100 cases produced<br />

This 554 case, 100% Cabernet Franc was produced from a<br />

Smooth, velvety and appealing for it’s floral-scented blueberry<br />

2006 Cabernet Franc Columbia Valley______________________ 24.99<br />
This is a twelfth vintage they have crafted this iconic wine.<br />
<strong>The</strong> 88% Cabernet Franc is blended with 12% Merlot.<br />
This is a “gimme some more” Franc that oozes with rich,<br />
creamy flavors of sweet spices —<br />
nutmeg, ground allspice,<br />
clove and lavender<br />
laced Herbs de<br />
Provence.<br />
“Spicy and lusty Zinfandel is America’s heritage red wine, and<br />
California winemakers are producing Zins that all the world<br />
craves…Once again, when Americans see a challenge, they go<br />
for it. And when they recognize a great red wine, they flock to<br />
it. Commit a Zin.” <strong>Wine</strong> Enthusiast<br />

“2006 is exceptional for Tuscany…its hard to<br />
go wrong with a bottle of Tuscan red. <strong>The</strong><br />
wines offer a combination of ripeness and<br />
structure that is remarkable…As I have written<br />
here before, 2006 seems to have been<br />
especially kind to the wines of Maremma, and<br />
Sassicaia is no exception. <strong>The</strong> 2006 Sassicaia is shaping<br />
up to be a monumental, breathtaking wine of the highest<br />
level. It is a glorious, magical Sassicaia that readers won’t<br />
want to miss…” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 97/100<br />
“Dark ruby in color, showing aromas of currant, new oak<br />
and fresh herbs, with hints of spices. Full-bodied, with<br />
very chewy tannins and an outstanding concentration of<br />
fruit. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Needs<br />
plenty of bottle age. Best after 2012. 20,000 cases made.”<br />

cherry aromas. In the mouth, it is full-bodied with superb fruit concentration<br />
as well as Provencal typicity.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 93/100<br />

“<strong>The</strong> 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Réservée, tasted from multiple<br />
foudres, stylistically, looks to be a hypothetical blend of the 2003 and<br />
1990. <strong>The</strong> 2007 is full-bodied and powerful, with high tannins, high<br />
extract, and tremendous color, stuffing, and richness…Dense, rich,<br />
more structured than the 2003, sumptuous, and deep (in the style of<br />
the 1990), it should evolve for 20-25 years.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 94-<br />

“<strong>The</strong> 2006 exhibits gamy, meaty, new saddle leather, kirsch liqueur,<br />
black currant, pepper, lavender, and spice notes. <strong>The</strong> wine is full-bodied,<br />
rich, deep, and long. One foudre, which may become a Cuvee<br />
Laurence, appears to be of the same quality as the Cuvee Réservée, but<br />
the Laurence will be bottled much later than the Réservée, which was<br />
about to be bottled at the time of my visit in late August.” <strong>Wine</strong><br />

2005 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Réservée_____________ 99.99<br />
2004 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Réservée_____________ 89.99<br />
“A candidate for ‘wine of the vintage’ is the 2004 Chateauneuf du<br />
Pape Cuvee Réservée. …Meaty, full-bodied, stunningly concentrated<br />
and pure, and in need of 4-5 years of cellaring, it promises to be one<br />
of the longest - lived wines of the vintage, lasting for a minimum of<br />
two decades.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate rated 94+/100<br />
2005 Edouard de Rollat Cabernet Sauvignon Walla Walla_ ___ 59.99<br />
75% Cabernet Sauvignon -Seven Hills <strong>Vineyard</strong><br />
20% Merlot - Pepperbridge <strong>Vineyard</strong><br />
5% Cabernet Franc -Seven Hills <strong>Vineyard</strong><br />
“This is a show stopper, the top of the line at Chateau Rollat…Deep and compact,<br />
it’s a classic wine to cellar, holding its dark and smoky secrets tightly<br />
wound around a core of dense black fruits nuanced with streaks of bark, soil,<br />
earth and barrel. A subtle, moody and yet quite expressive wine, it engages the<br />
intellect as well as the palate—a rare treat indeed.” <strong>Wine</strong> Enthusiast, rated<br />
95/100<br />
“It offers a more saturated color, a slighting brooding perfume with elements of<br />
pain grille, earth notes, and an amalgam of black fruits. Layered, with superb<br />
depth and grip, the wine is reminiscent of a top level Pauillac (Christian<br />
LeSommer worked for many years at Chateau Latour). <strong>The</strong> wine has enough<br />
structure to develop for another 4-6 years.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 92/100<br />
“Expressive cabernet nose melds sappy cassis, licorice, graphite and sexy oak<br />
spices. Densely packed, sweet and powerful, with terrific intensity of fruit and<br />
an outsized structure. Finishes with huge, ripe tannins and impressive grip and<br />
length. This needs a good decade in the cellar.” Steve Tanzer, rated 92+/100<br />
2005 Rollat Cabernet Sauvignon Walla Walla_ __________ 34.99<br />
Paul Gregutt of the <strong>Wine</strong> Enthusiast and Seattle Times writes: “the word that<br />
kept cropping up as I tasted the wine was ‘polished.’ It has a sophisticated<br />
finesse that moves the beautiful fruit flavors into a more elegant dimension than<br />
all but a handful of Washington wines.”<br />
“Purple-colored, it exhibits aromas of cedar, pencil lead, spice box, black cherry,<br />
and black currant. Made in an elegant, seamless style, the wine has excellent<br />
grip, fine depth, and a lingering, fruit-filled finish. Allow 2-3 years in the cellar<br />
and drink it from 2012 to 2020.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 90/100<br />
“Bright ruby-red. pure aromas of black cherry, licorice, pepper, minerals and<br />
earth. Suave and nicely delineated, with an enticing light touch to its flavors of<br />
bitter cherry, fresh herbs and cocoa powder. Finishes with fine-grained tannins.<br />
A juicy, lively cabernet with the polished texture of a Medoc wine…” Steve<br />
Tanzer, rated 91/100<br />
2007 Ardenvoir Rose Columbia Valley_ ______________ 14.99<br />
“As one might expect, this is Washington rosé with a French touch, courtesy of<br />
consulting winemaker Christian LeSommer. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon,<br />
Merlot and Cab Franc, given a four-hour soak and then fermented in neutral<br />
oak, it is exceptional in every way. Silky and flavorful with a mix of peach and<br />
strawberry, vanilla cookie and amazing length.” <strong>Wine</strong> Enthusiast, rated 90/100<br />

Sauvignon, 5% Petit Verdot” <strong>The</strong> <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate rating was 92-95<br />
2006 Jersey Boy_ _____________________________ 59.99<br />
This wine has a beautiful dark garnet color with a nose that opens up<br />
to floral aromas of orchid and violet and moves on to notes of sage and<br />
Asian Spice. <strong>The</strong> mouthfeel is lush and balanced with plenty of stuffing.<br />
Focused flavors of black cherry, tamarind and sassafras follow<br />
through to a plum and cardamom finish. 46% Syrah, 34% Merlot,<br />
13% Cabernet Franc, 7% Petit Verdot. 330 cases produced.<br />
2006 Petite Sirah <strong>Spring</strong> Mountain District_ ______________ 54.99<br />
<strong>The</strong> <strong>Spring</strong> Mountain District Petite Sirah is yet another 2006 that<br />
leaves us gushing about the layers of sweet and rich spice. A gorgeous<br />
purple/black color with edges of magenta, the wine exudes marvelous<br />
aromas of holiday spice, cinnamon, clove and telicherry. This is a powerful<br />
wine with silky tannins and a solid structure to support the flavors<br />
of cola, cassis, espresso and sweet, smoky oak. 92% Petite Sirah,<br />
8% Cabernet Sauvignon. 300 cases produced.<br />

“Tokaji invigorates every fiber of the brain and<br />
brings forth an enchanting sparkle of wit and<br />
good cheer from the depths of the soul.”<br />
Voltaire, 1749<br />
Tokaji Aszu—Aszu is the term for grapes infected with noble<br />
rot. Destalked hand-picked Aszu grapes are stored 6-8 days,<br />
then kneaded to a pulp which is added to base Tokay wine, or<br />
to must, by the puttony (hod of 20-25 kilos). <strong>The</strong> eventual<br />
sweetness depends on the number of puttonyos added to the<br />
136-140 litre barrels (called Gorci) of one-year-old base wine -<br />
usually 3,4 and 5 puttonyos. 6 is exceptional.<br />
Tokaji Aszu Essencia—Only individually hand-selected<br />
Aszu grapes. Only produced in exceptional years from the best<br />
vineyards.<br />
Tokaji Aszu Essence—Destalked hand-picked Aszu grapes.<br />
While grapes are being stored (see Tokay Aszu) the pressure of<br />
their own weight the tub (one puttonyo yields only 142 millimeters<br />
of this Essence). <strong>The</strong> juice is then allowed to ferment<br />
extremely slowly for many years in oak casks<br />

replaceable. New vintages and other similar wines replace those that are no longer available. All of our wines are stored in a climate-controlled environment, and we take great care in<br />
checking the condition of the wine we purchase. However, as is tradition in the wine trade, all bottles over 10 years old, are at the buyer’s risk. Every effort has been made to ensure<br />
accuracy, but in the event of a misprint, the price posted in the store will prevail.<br />

regulations. We reserve the right to hold wine orders up to 90 days before shipping<br />
as a quality control measure. <strong>Wine</strong> can be damaged by temperature extremes.<br />
We will not ship if the temperature in our area is above 75 degrees or below 40<br />
degrees. It is your responsibility to advise us what temperatures are in your area.<br />
We cannot be held responsible if you request shipment and the wines travel in<br />
a climate outside an acceptable temperature range. We will hold and store wine<br />
purchases up to 30 days. After that time a $3.00 per case per month charge will<br />
be automatically assessed. Any cancellations are subject to a 10 percent restocking<br />

somehow mishandled in the delivery system to us. In the event any wines do not<br />
arrive, or are damaged in shipment to us, or are damaged by us prior to shipment<br />
to you, we will make every effort to substitute, subject to your approval, wines of<br />
equivalent value. Should we be unable to make an acceptable substitution, we will<br />
then refund your payment together with 5 percent simple interest.<br />

“A terrific source of sensational Pinot<br />
Noirs and Chardonnays made very much<br />
in the style of the wines proprietor Stephen Hansel<br />
loves the most, white and red Burgundies, this 80-acre<br />
estate continues to build on a brilliant track record of<br />
high quality wines offered to consumers at sensationally<br />
fair prices.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />
“This has become a very reliable address in the last few<br />
years and prices have not caught up to quality yet.”<br />

“<strong>The</strong>se wines were first brought to my attention when Mark Herold was the<br />
consulting winemaker, but the 2007s were finished by Thomas Rivers <strong>Brown</strong>.<br />
All three are brilliant, mountain-styled Cabernets that showcase this hillside<br />

2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Lakeview <strong>Vineyard</strong>_ ______________ mag. 319.99<br />
“<strong>The</strong> most fragrant of this trio is the 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Lakeview<br />
<strong>Vineyard</strong>. Beautiful floral, blackberry, blueberry, wild mountain berry, and forest<br />
floor scents soar from the glass of this opaque purple-colored 2007. Velvetytextured<br />
and opulent with terrific fruit on the attack, mid-palate, and finish as<br />
well as admirable intensity and power, this seamless wine can be drunk now<br />
(because of its awesome purity of fruit), but should evolve beautifully for two<br />
decades or more.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 95/100<br />
“Good full ruby-red. Lovely lift to the primary aromas of black cherry, plum,<br />
licorice and smoke. Sweet on entry, then dense but nicely delineated in the<br />
mid-palate, with a juicy quality to the youthful dark berry and espresso flavors.<br />
Very nicely balanced cabernet-and the longest of these wines to this point. <strong>The</strong><br />
finish is long on primary black fruits and dark chocolate.” Steve Tanzer, rated<br />
