2007 Condrieu Coteau de Vernon_ ________________________ 109.99<br />
“…Expansive aromas…deeply concentrated…extremely persistant finish…”<br />
Steve Tanzer, rated 94/100<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 />
Spectator, rated 97/100<br />
“Absolutely profound and one of the best made in a number of years.” <strong>Wine</strong><br />
Advocate, rated 96/100<br />
“This remarkable bottling showed the longest finish of any Condrieu I tasted<br />
this year.” Steve Tanzer, rated 93/100<br />
2005 Cote-Rotie Maison Rouge___________________________ 99.99<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 />
n the finish, picking up a spicy redcurrant quality and showing very good<br />
length. Nicely focused for such a powerful wine.” Steve Tanzer, rated 90/100<br />
2007 Cotes du Rhone St. Agathe__________________________ 23.99<br />
2006 Saint-Joseph__________________________________ 29.99<br />
100% Syrah. Average vine age is 25 years. “Shows plenty of racy purple and<br />
black fruits, with notes of violet, dark licorice and sweet spice, all laid over<br />
some solid grip on the finish. More like a 2005 than a 2006. Very solid.” <strong>Wine</strong><br />
Spectator, rated 92/100<br />
2007 Viognier Le Pied de Samson_ ________________________ 29.99<br />
100% Viognier. Average vine age is 15 years. “Fresh, tangy mix of peach, anise<br />
and mineral notes, that all stay bright and pure on the finish. Drink now.<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 />
