Penner Ash 

As a teenager Lynn spent her summers working for the Smithsonian Institute in 

Washington, D.C. Her curiosity for the natural world lead her to UC Davis to 

study Botany. It didn’t take long for her to realize that crushing grapes is a lot 

more interesting (and fun!) than dissecting flower stamens. Upon graduating 

with degrees in both Enology and Viticulture, Lynn gained invaluable experience 

in some of Napa’s premier wineries, including Domaine Chandon, Chateau St.Jean and Stag’s Leap Wine Cellars. 

In 1988 Lynn and Ron headed north to the “Land of Endless Rainbows” and a young emerging wine industry. 

Lynn spent the next 14 years producing world-class wines as winemaker/president of Rex Hill Vineyards Vineyards. 

Just last year she turned over the reins at Rex Hill to join her husband, Ron, to focus full-time on Penner-Ash Wine 

Cellars. 

Lynn and Ron are currently producing their wines at the Carlton Winemakers Studio, a cooperative venture 

located in the heart of the Northern Willamette Valley wine region. Along with partners Chris and Tyanne Dussin, Lynn 

and Ron have purchased 80 acres of vineyard property located of Ribbon Ridge Road. The first phase of planting was 

completed this past April. Dussin Vineyard will be planted to 100% Pinot Noir and will be the site of Penner-Ash Wine 

Cellars for Harvest 2005.

“Cupa Numismae” 

CHÂTEAU LA ROQUE 

JACK BOUTIN, PROPRIETOR, 

HIS DAUGHTER AND WIFE 

The 2000 vintage was recently a Wine Spectator Selection, scoring 93 points on 

a 100-point scale. The other 93 pointers on the page were $50 and $37 per bottle. 

(It pays to stick with us, folks.) They mentioned its “almost Hermitage-like 

structure.” They did not say “Hermitage-like character,” but at this price we’ll 

settle for anything Hermitage-like, don’t you agree 

La Roque’s cuvée Spéciale, Cupa Numismae 2001, has a deep, pure 

Syrah nose. It is, after all, two-thirds Syrah. The ripe Mourvèdre (the other 

third) makes its presence felt on the palate: tasty, enveloping, with abundant, 

texturally correct tannins.

2001 

Vieux Telegraphe 

Chateauneuf du 

Pape 

Just Arrived! 

THE BEST VINTAGE SINCE 

THE REMARKABLE 1998! 

DANIEL BRUNIER, PROPRIETOR 

AND WINEMAKER 

“The 2001 Vieux Telegraphe La Crau (a 17,000-20,000-case blend of 60% 

Grenache, 1% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah, and other diverse varietals) should rival 

the great 1998, which is just now emerging from a dumb, closed state, something all recent vintages 

seem to pass through. It tips the scales at 14.8% alcohol, but that is hidden by the wine’s wealth of 

fruit and concentration. A dense dark ruby-colored effort with a sweet, heady nose of licorice, seaweed, 

iodine, black currants, and cherries, the soft, fleshy attack is followed by a full-bodied, concentrated, 

and structured wine that will require some patience. It is a richer, more structured, powerful, 

and larger-scaled example than the 2000. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2020.” Robert Parker, rated 91- 

93/100 

“It is a big wine, but ‘powerful’ is not the appropriate word. Voluptuous is more like it, because the 

palate-saturating tannins are so ripe and velvety. Have you noticed that harsh tannins can cut the 

length of a wine These tannins perpetuate the length, and believe you me, the flavors deserve to 

linger. it is glorious stuff, deep, ripe, luscious, spicy, and very generous.” Kermit Lynch

2000 Ch. Laplagnotte-Bellevue ............................................................................22.99 

“Showing far better out of bottle than it did from cask, the 2000 Laplagnotte-Bellevue exhibits a saturated dark ruby/purple color and a sexy, up-front 

nose of sweet jammy cassis and currant with some espresso, vanilla, and white flowers. The wine is opulent, medium to full-bodied, yet at the same time, 

elegant and pure. This is impressive and precocious. Anticipated maturity: 2004-2015.” Robert Parker 

2000 Ch. Carsin....................................................................................................14.99 

“This is another Bordeaux fruit bomb, somewhat in the style of the Thébot that I am so high on. Readers looking for sexy, up-front, fruit-driven Bordeaux

Serious wine. Best after 2006.” Wine Spectator, rated 90/100 

1999 Silver Oak 

ALEXANDER VALLEY 

CABERNET SAUVIGNON 

“The story of Silver Oak needs little introduction. These highly successful wines 

are about as California/American as they can be. Aged in 100% new American oak (all from Missouri) for 30 

months prior to bottling, they are gaudy, big, spicy oak and fruit bombs that are delicious young, yet seem capable 

of lasting 12-15 years, and in certain vintages, much longer. Their legion of admirers seems to get larger and 

larger and, on my tour of Napa and Sonoma, there is rarely a more packed and boisterous tasting room than Silver 

Oak’s, regardless of the time. The 1999 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley touts an intense olive, smoky, toasty 

nose intermixed with kirsch and currant fruit. The wine is sweet, dense, with an opaque ruby/purple color. 

Expansive fat mid-palate, and long finish. This certainly should be as good 

as most of the Alexander Valley Cabernets released this decade.” Robert 

Parker

Robert Parker 

“The 2000’s remind me of 1990. They have that vintage’s depth, concentration, focus, and brightness. 

It is a great vintage, with high maturity, some botrytis,a nd loads of fruit. The wines are ample,

2000 Domaine de la Bongran Macon Villages Cuvee Tradition....................................27.99 

“Domaine de la Bongran’s Mâcon-Villages Cuvée Tradition has fulfilled all expectations. This outstanding, seductive offering explodes from 

the glass with poached pears, honey, white pepper, spices, mint, and creamed minerals. A plush, broad, concentrated wine, it coats the taster’s 

palate with layers of sweetened herbal teas, spices, pepper, and a myriad of white fruits. This well-focused beauty also reveals an exceptionally 

long, flavor-packed finish.” Robert Parker, rated 92/100 

2000 Domaine Emilian Gillet Macon Villages..............................................................22.99 

“Apples, honey-laden minerals, and a hint of roasted coffee bean can be detected in the nose of Emilian Gillet’s 2000 Mâcon-Villages. Bursting 

with spices, this light to medium-bodied wine is lush, satin-textured, and crammed with flavorful fruit. Apples, pears, loads of spices and sweet 

minerals can be found in its deep character. Projected maturity: now-2008. Originally reviewed from tank in The Wine Advocate’s issue #138 

(rated 90-92)” Robert Parker, rated 89/100 

2000 Merlot 

MARCO CAPPELLI, 

WINEMAKER 

“Swanson’s Merlot grapes are grown on two estate vineyards in the Oakville appellation, one situated along the 

Napa River and the other (Schmidt Ranch) against the Mayacamas foothills on the west side of the valley. An 

early bud break was encouraged by a spring of warm balmy days, which warmed the vineyard soils sooner than 

anticipated. We then experienced some cooler weather in the beginning of summer, slowing bud break, which 

had us all thinking “early harvest.” Two short periods of very hot weather, one in July and the other in August, 

did result in a slightly early harvest. Rapid sugar development, a warmer-than-average season with an extended 

“hang time”, all came together to produce a wine of excellent floral and fruit character.” Marco Cappelli, winemaker 

“An elegant, supple style, with ripe, spicy currant and 

plum-scented fruit, shaded by a light mocha flavor. Wellfocused, 

intense and vibrant, with fine-grained tannins; a 

touch of heat shows on the finish. Drink now through 

2007.” Wine Spectator

Two New Releases 

2001 Merlot Las Amigas ..................................................................................39.99 

The cool Carneros vineyard source of this wine creates a unique style Merlot. While lighter in body than the Oakville 

Merlot, it is a well-structured wine with sound acidity that balances the tannins. Floral notes, blackberry and vanilla are in 

the nose followed by raspberry and red fruit flavors. Joe Bob said, “this is a wine ready to drink tonight,” and that’s just 

what he did. You’ll love this wine, too. 100% Merlot. 450 cases produced. 

2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa.......................................................................49.99 

The 2000 vintage of this wine was their first venture into a multi-vineyard blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, and it exceeded 

all of their expectations. The 2001 offering continues this new tradition. While they consider many of their 2001 wines to 

be ageing wines, this offering is very approachable now with soft tannins and fully developed flavors. You will be able to 

enjoy the nose of cherry and toasty vanilla with blueberry, lavender and cinnamon flavors. This wine is soft, clean and pure 

with a lingering finish that make you want more. Don’t miss out on this great expression of the 2001 vintage.

CLARENDON HILLS 

he power of the press strikes again (for better or worse) creating massive national interest in the 2001 vintage of Clarendon Hills 

Tbased on some shockingly high scores in the the Wine Advocate Online. These reviews are based on a barrel tasting in mid-June. 

While we can’t give you the full story, (Big Bob is pretty serious about his copyrights) he does say “Clarendon Hills has probably had its 

greatest vintage with this extremely hot year that produced miniscule yields of extraordinary ripe, concentrated fruit…This is undoubtedly 

one of the world’s greatest wineries.…While I do not have the space to review them until they are in the bottle, barrel samples of the

Selection de Grains Nobles 

Restricted to four noble grape varieties, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Muscat, these rare wines are subject to France’s 

most stringent wine laws. Vendages Tardives wines are picked last of all, and only from the choicest plots in the greatest years, the 

grapes are always over-ripe and often affected by noble rot. 

Selection de Grains Nobles wines are even richer and rarer than Vendage Tardive ones. They are only harvested under ideal climatic 

conditions, the botrytised grapes literally being picked one by one. These rare nectars have an unrivaled aromatic intensity and can 

improve for decade after decade.

initial fermentation and maceration with the 

skins, Casalferro is matured in barriques for a 

period ranging from sixteen to eighteen months; 

this is followed by a lengthy refinement in the 

bottle. 

The 1999 is truly remarkable, following 

brilliantly in the footsteps of the 1997 and 

1998. The 1998 was rated 92/100 by the Wine 

Spectator and received “Tre Bicchieri,” or “Three 

Glasses” the highest recognition given to Italy’s 

best wines by Gambero Rosso.

HIGHLY RATED 

1998 La Carraia 

Fobiano 

“The outstanding 1998 Fobiano is a blend of 

70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 

aged in new French oak casks, and bottled with 

neither fining nor filtration. A dense opaque 

purple color is accompanied by notes of new 

saddle leather, blackberry liqueur, smoke and 

licorice. An opulently-textured wine with medium 

to full body, a chewy, lush mid-palate, and 

outstanding purity and ripeness, it can be 

drunk now as well as over the next decade.” 

Robert Parker, rated 90/100 

“Rich and jammy, with chocolate, plum and 

smoky aromas. Full-bodied, with soft tannins 

and a chocolaty, berry aftertaste. Somewhat 

flabby, but delicious. Best after 2001. 2,330 

cases made.” Wine Spectator 

2000 Gaja 

Ca’Marcanda 

Magari 

“The brilliant 2000 Magari (6,000 cases) is a blend 

of 50% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc, and 25% 

Cabernet Sauvignon. Its opaque purple color is followed 

by a gorgeous perfume of espresso, new saddle 

leather, blackberries, crème de cassis, smoke, 

and licorice. The wine is full-bodied and opulentlytextured, 

with fabulous fruit concentration, great 

purity, and a savory, long mouthfeel. The tannin, 

acidity, and wood are brilliantly integrated in this 

exceptional effort. Anticipated maturity: now-2013. 

Kudos to Angelo Gaja, who has taken up the challenge 

of producing great wines far from his home 

base in Barbaresco. These debut releases are 

immensely promising” Robert Parker, rated 93/100 

1997 Castello Dei 

Rampolla Sammarco 

“For more than two decades one of the greatest 

Tuscan proprietary red wines has been Castello 

dei Rampolla’s Cabernet Sauvignon/Sangiovese 

blend called Sammarco. What has always made 

this wine exceptional, especially in the top vintages, 

is its complexity and elegance. It is closer 

to a great Graves than any other wine I have 

ever tasted outside of France.” Robert Parker 

“Black color. Aromas of blackberries, minerals 

and mint. Very subtle. Full-bodied, with amazing 

concentration of silky tannins and a finish 

that goes on and on. Monumental Sammarco. 

Best ever for me. Best after 2005.” Wine

1997 Antinori 

Tignanello 

“Very full ruby-garnet, dark and deep. Ample in 

aroma, with sweet cassis fruit, light accents of sage 

and rosemary, chocolate and roasted coffee from the 

oak, and some alcoholic warmth. Dense, round and 

velvety on the palate, with expanding flavors. 

Finishes with important tannic strength and 

impressive weight and force. The fusion of the 

Sangiovese and Cabernet components of this wine 

is more accomplished than in past vintages.” Steve 

Tanzer, rated 93/100 

“The 1997 Tignanello is a blend of 80% 

Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% 

Cabernet Franc, aged in small French oak casks for 

12 months, and bottled with no filtration. It possesses 

a dense, ruby/purple color, and an expansive 

nose of black currants, cherry compote, vanillin, 

and earth. Sweet, jammy, and opulently-textured, 

this expansive, concentrated, low acid wine is flashy 

and gorgeously-proportioned. it should drink well 

for 10-15 years, although who can ignore it now” 

Robert Parker, rated 93/100 

1999 

Domenico Clerico 

Arte 

An incredible blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, 

Nebbiolo and Barbera. Aged 20 months in 100% 

new French oak. 

1999 G. Rivetti 

La Spinetta 

Pin 


“This exceptional producer has been receiving 

well-deserved raves from the international press… 

The 1999 releases continue to push quality to 

extraordinary heights. Rivetti’s blend of Cabernet 

Sauvignon and Nebbiolo, the 1999 Pin 

Monferrarto Rosso, is an exotic, ripe, luxuriously 

intense effort displaying extravagant flavors that 

border on excess. It is voluptuously textured with 

intense aromas of red and black fruits, smoke, and 

new oak. While there is a tendency to think of this 

as an internationally-styled offering, Nebbiolo gives 

the wine a finesse and complexity not found in 

most new breed wines. Its texture, richness, and 

thickness are a total turn-on. Who knows how it 

will age, but certainly it is impossible to resist at 

present, My instincts suggest drinking it over the 

next 7-8 years, but it may be uncommonly longlived.”

Vintage 2002 Germany 

POSITIVE INDICATIONS OF ANOTHER GREAT VINTAGE 

ARRIVING THIS FALL! 

Official statistics just released by the German Wine Grower’s Association indicate nearly 10.2 million hectoliters was harvested 

in 2002, just slightly higher than the average of the past ten years. The 2002 crop also nudged higher than 2001 in 

average ripeness (Oechsle levels) and acidity levels, and produced a greater percentage of Germany’s highest quality category, 

Qualitätswein mit Prädikat. 

First tastings of the 2002 are already very impressive. Those who have have already enjoyed the 2001 

vintage wines, will find that the benchmark has been maintained for the 2002, and although fixed costs continue 

to increase for the estates, with better yields in 2002, prices for estate wines will generally remain stable.

2000 Talbott 

CHARDONNAY 

SLEEPY HOLLOW VYD 

In appearance, this wine exhibits a medium golden straw color 

reminiscent of the 1997 vintage. The nose presents notes of 

tropical fruit, hazelnut, white truffle, and minerality, frame by a 

hint of French oak. On the palate, concentrated rich flavors of 

peach, honeydew melon, Pippin apple, and guava marry with mineral 

elements and well-integrated French oak accents. A typically 

high level of acid produces a long, clean finish and promises to 

make the wine cellarable. Still tightly wound, this Chardonnay will 

open nicely over the next several months.

2000 Cloud View Vineyards 

PROPRIETARY ESTATE 

Cloud View produces a single proprietary premium red wine blended from Cabernet 

Sauvignon and Merlot— “The best we can grow and make on this special hillside.” They 

use only their own grapes. Their first vintage (1999) was limited to 400 12-bottle cases. Vintage 

2000 production is 560 cases. They plan to grow to 1500 cases by the 2004 Vintage. 

Cloud View is grown and produced at Pritchard Hill in Napa valley California.Wineries 

and vineyards on and near Pritchard Hill include Bryant Family, Chappellet, Colgin, 

David Arthur, Harrison, Long, and Versant. 

Blended from estate grown fruit, 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot, Cloud View 

2000 is enjoyable now and well worth cellaring. 

“If 2000 is not the vintage one might choose for a debut, Cloud View has pulled it off spectacularly 

with this lovely rendition. Its black cherry and curranty fruit is fit perfectly to rich oak in both 

nose and mouth, and the wine’s supple entry and its smooth passage across the palate add to its 

current come-hither charms. A youthfully tannic edge in the finish provides plenty of grip for 

present-day service with steaks and chops, and a bit of cellaring will bring increasing polish.”

2000 Domaine 

du Pegau 

Chateauneuf du Pape 

Cuvee Reservee 


This is one of the benchmarks for traditionally-made Châteauneuf du Pape. Paul Féraud, a classmate of Henri Bonneau, is still involved in the running of this 

estate, but he has given more and more responsibility to his charming, talented daughter, Laurence. 

Readers looking for uncompromising Châteauneuf du Pape that can age for two decades need look no further than Pégau. Their primary vineyard plots are 

well-placed lieux-dits called Monpertuis, Rayas, and La Crau, the latter being the parcel from which the bulk of Pégau’s wine emerges. All of the Cuvée Réservée 

and Cuvée da Capo is aged in large foudres and bottled with neither fining nor filtration. The Cuvée Laurence is aged both in foudre and smaller used barrels, and 

is bottled after a four year élevage. While I love the Cuvée Laurence, I generally prefer the Cuvée Réservée because of its fresh fruit… 

The 2000 Châteauneuf du Pape Cuvée Réservée may be one of the few 2000s that is better than its 1998 counterpart. A deep ruby/purple color is accompanied 

by sweet aromas of crème de cassis, kirsch liqueur, cedar, licorice, and pepper. It smells like an open-air Provençal market. Sweet, fat, opulent, and voluptuous, 

with fabulous fruit concentration, sweet, fat, opulent, and voluptuous, with fabulous fruit concentration, sweet tannin, and a long, 45+ second finish, this powerful, 

deep, seamless 2000 is impeccably well-balanced. A tour de force in traditional Châteauneuf du Pape, it is accessible now, but should age easily for 1-20 years.”

Cuvee de Capo 

Rated 96-98+/100 

“The 2000 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee de Capo, a spectacular effort, achieved nearly 16% natural alcohol from extremely old vines of 

Grenache and other assorted varietals. It will be bottled in April, 2003, and released several months later. It is a monument to the old vine 

richness that exists in Chateauneuf du Pape. The color is a dense ruby/purple, and the aromatics include a boatload of kirsch liqueur intermixed 

with leather, herb, cedar, and spice box scents. It has a level of unctuosity, thickness, and purity that must be tasted to be believed. Over 90% of 

the blend is Grenache, all from the famed terroir called La Crau. The 2000 is a humongous, blockbuster 

effort that may be too exaggerated and powerful for many tasters, but it represents the essence 

of old vine Grenache made in the traditional manner. Despite its alcohol, it is neither heavy nor 

hot…this is spectacular wine. Be-bop-a-lula!” Robert Parker

MARIANO 

BODEGA LA RURAL’S TRUMPETER WINES 

DI PAOLO, HEAD 

WINEMAKER 

Four generations of the Rutini family have maintained the legacy begun in 1855 by Don Felipe Rutini. In 1925, the Rutinis were the first 

to plant vineyards in the high-altitude region of Tupungato at almost 4,000 feet elevation. These vineyards, with bright, sunny days and cool nights—essential for the 

production of intense wines of concentrated aromas and flavors—are the the source of grapes for these Trumpeter wines. In 1995, Nicolas Catena became part owner 

of the Bodega La Rural and now it boasts the latest in winemaking technology: stainless steel tanks, new French barriques, and pneumatic presses. Gentle handling at the 

winery and moderate aging preserve the fruit flavors and distinctive character of each Trumpeter varietal. 

2002 Chardonnay 

Nicely ripened apple and pear-like fruit is comfortably joined by creamy, toasty oak in the aromas and flavors of this wholly likeable offering. Medium-bodied with a nice 

richness of fruit as well as depth, this is tasty on its own or paired with creamy fowl or seafood dishes. 

2002 Cabernet Sauvignon 

The Trumpeter Cabernet Sauvignon harvest 2002 has an intense red ruby color with some dark violet tones. In nose it displays concentrated aromas to red fruit, intermingled 

with notes of tobacco, chocolate and spices. In mouth, it is full, but soft, presenting flavors of ripe plums and black cherries, with accents of vanilla. It finishes with 

soft and sweet tannins. 

2002 Malbec/Syrah 

The Trumpeter Malbec/Syrah 2002 harvest, has a deep violet color with intense and vibrant red tones. The nose is full in spices of ripe red currants that intermingle with 

the aroma of tobacco and vanilla. Of great body and very structured in mouth, this wine has concentrated flavors of wild berries, with 

soft and velvet tannins. 

2002 Merlot 

Aromas of ripe black cherry fruit as well as coffee give in to flavors of the same in this medium-weight, slightly spicy, excellent food 

wine. The tannins are velvety, well-integrated with the rich fruit from start to finish. The cassis, black cherry, raspberry and oak flavors 

are enticing—all in all a terrific bargain.

1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 6.............................6.0 liter 899.99 


“Delicious elegant, rich, vibrant and complex, with deep, sharply focused, ripe 

plum, black cherry, blackberry, spice and light cedary oak shadings. Best from 

2001 through 2007. 300 cases made. “ Wine Spectator, rated 94/100 


“Ripe, rich, smooth and complex, with deeply concentrated currant, black cherry, 

herb, spice and vanilla, and a wonderful aftertaste that keeps pumping out the flavors. 

The tannins, while firm, are physiologically ripe and supple for a wine this 

young. Tempting now, better in 2000. The first bottling of the Clone 6, which was 

previously a component of the Private Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon. 250 cases 

made.” Wine Spectator, rated 93/100 

“This limited bottling from BV’s new Signet Collection series of wines (all expensive 

and made in small quantities) is an immensely impressive offering. The color 

is a saturated dark ruby/purple. The wine, from an old clone of Cabernet 

Sauvignon, is a rich, full-bodied, powerful yet harmonious Cabernet with gobs of 

black currant fruit, a nice touch of oak, and outstanding ripeness and purity. It is 

also long in the mouth, with a youthful, unevolved personality. This should prove 

to be an impressive, long-lived Cabernet Sauvignon. Anticipated maturity: 2001- 

2015.” Robert Parker, rated 91/100

1996 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve ..............6.0 liter 799.99 


“Ripe, round and smooth, with a core of coffee, currant, sage cedar and spice. 

Gains nuance and complexity on the finish, where the tannins are firm and integrated. 

Wonderful texture and polish. Drink now through 2008/ 13,000 cases 



“Really fruity, with an abundance of raspberry, violet and berry character. Fullbodied, 

with a velvety tannin structure and a long berry and toasted oak aftertaste. 

The oak is a bit dominant, so give it time to mellow.—Georges de Latour Private 

Reserve vertical. Best after 2004. 12,000 cases made.” Wine Spectator, rated 

93/100 

1994 Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve .................3.0 liter 499.99 

“One of the most prestigious wines in California, the 1994 version shows and 

impressive core of spicy currant and mineral-laced Cabernet flavors emerging from 

chewy tannins, picking up cedary oak, coffee and sage notes. Most enjoyable if cellared 

a bit. Best from 1999 through 2004. 13,500 cases made.” Wine Spectator, 

rated 93/100 

“This is one of the finest efforts from Beaulieu in some time. Not since the mideighties 

has BV made a Private Reserve Cabernet with such richness and potential. 

The wine boasts a dark ruby/purple color, an attractive nose of sweet, toasty new 

oak, and ripe red and black fruits. In the mouth, there is a layered texture, fullbodied 

richness, excellent purity, and sweet tannin in the long finish. This wine 

can be drunk now as well as over the next 15-20 years. Bravo to BV!” Robert 

Parker, rated 91/100 



“Generous, soft and big, with a dark ruby color and mint, plum and smoke character. 

Full-bodied and very velvety, with lots of ripe berry and chocolate flavors 

and a long, long finish. Best after 2002. 14,200 cases made.” Wine Spectator, rated

Tapestry 

1997 Tapestry .............................................................6.0 liter 549.99

Cabernet blend laden with ripe plum, currant, anise, green olive and cedar notes 

and finishing with gripping tannins. Best from 2002 through 2012. 27,000 cases 




“Tight in structure while plush in texture, offering rich plum, dark chocolate, cinnamon, 

spice and earth flavors that linger deliciously on the long, complex finish—this 

is one seductive California red. A blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, 

Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2005. 14,500 cases made.”

RATED 93—“A real mouthful of delicious Chardonnay, with a range of 

flavors stretching from ripe pear, fig and citrus to pretty smoky oak, hazelnut 

and caramel. Finishes with a pure gush of rich earth and Chardonnay flavors, 

turning elegant and graceful. Drink now through 2006. 5,000 cases made.” 

Wine Spectator 

RATED 90—“Pale yellow-gold. Oaky aromas of yellow fruits, honey, 

nuts and mint. Fat and sweet, with exotic fruit flavors of apricot and guava. An 

impressively chewy wine, finishing with some alcoholic warmth.” Steve Tanzer 

RATED 92—“Attractive, forward, intense, buttery, oily, ripe tropical fruit 

aroma with overtones of butterscotch, hazelnut, and vanilla; full body; forward, 

rich, lush, concentrated, toasty, oily, buttery flavors with notes of butterscotch 

over the long finish. Stylistic. Very highly recommended.” California Grapevine

Critical Acclaim 

RATED 94— “A sensational effort. The opaque plum/purple color is followed 

by a super nose of smoked herbs, melted licorice, and cassis jam. Full-bodied, with a 

silky texture, and an opulent personality, this sexy full-throttle Cabernet Sauvignon 

will be delicious young, yet last for 18-20 years.” Robert Parker 

RATED 93— “With a track record of excellence, it’s no surprise the Beringer 

Private Reserve rates highly in the ‘99 vintage. Complex aromas of currant, herb, 

tobacco, olive and cedar lead to similar flavors in a rich, concentrated yet elegant presentation. 

Turns smooth and creamy, with vanilla, mocha and blackberry flavors peeking 

through on the finish. Best from 2005 through 2014. 10,000 cases made.

The Northwest’s Most 

Famous Ice Wine 

2001 

Andrew Rich 

GEWURZTRAMINER 

ICE WINE 

Oregon 82% and Washington State 18% 

Made in the manner of German eiswein—except that the grapes are frozen after harvest. The rockhard 

little gewurz marbles are pressed for a full day or more as the thick, sweet juice drips slowly 

into the pan. Yields are about half that of fresh grapes, but with nearly twice the normal sugar level. 

The juice will then ferment for more than two months—until the acid/sugar/alcohol balance is 

judged to be ideal—before bottling. 

The 2001 vintage is at once powerful and harmonious, showing the classic gewurz markers of 

litchi and roses, along with honey, tropical fruit, and spice notes. While very intense, it seems to be 

perfectly balanced, with a long, clean, elegant finish. It is probably best served by itself—as a 

dessert—or with a mild, creamy cheese. Then again, there is always foie gras…92 points, Wine

Japan’s 

Finest Premium Saké 

Saké, often called the “Drink of the Gods” by the Japanese, is a beverage created 

from rice, water, kiji, and yeast, usually with an alcohol content of 15%-16%, just 

slightly higher than that of an average wine. Saké is brewed like a beer, but it is 

served and enjoyed like a fine wine. Premium saké is usually served lightly chilled, 

while lower grades of saké are often served warm. The saké we are talking about 

here is more specifically referred to as Junmai-shu or chilled, ultra-premium, pure 

rice saké—not the boiled, cheap stuff that has (unfortunately) been served to 

Americans in small, ceramic carafes for decades. 

When we tasted these saké for the first time, we were floored. These were 

glasses full of complex, aromatic, thought-provoking, pleasure-inducing liquids. 

They are created from premium saké rice, water & koji, without using distilled 

alcohol or other additives, and using a painstaking and laborious production 

Ginga Shizuku - Divine Droplets..................................59.99 

A prominent fragrance, a clean and fresh taste, with flavor deep into the recesses. 

Truly one of the “Rolls-Royces” of saké. 

Sato no Homare - Pride of the Village...........................44.99 

An elegant, super-premium saké. A pleasingly light and fruity nose, laced with violets, 

strawberries, pear and grape, a refined and clear flavor, yet settled and deep. 

Semi-dry with a superbly clean finish. 

Takatenjin - Shrine of the Village..................................49.99 

A clean and dry saké with a bit of richness in the recesses and a crisp finish. 

Tentaka Kuni - Hawk in the Heavens............................27.99 

A mature well-rounded flavor with a settled fragrance. Dry but with an underlying 

richness. Drier and lighter when chilled, and a bit fuller as it warms. 

Mantensai - Star-filled Sky ............................................29.99 

Soft, honey-laced nose with just a tad of fruitiness. Dry overall, but with a sweet 

element creeping out of the background. Good richness and overall balance in a 

slightly dry profile. 

Hand-crafted by Small, Ancient, 

Family-run Japanese Brewers 

process. These products will change the way people think about saké. 

We have incredible respect and admiration for the results of these brewers’ 

efforts. While every one of these brewers has been making saké for over 80 years 

(and one for 850 years), the category of pure, premium, chilled saké has only been 

produced in Japan for the last 30 years. In terms of grade or quality, this category 

represents approximately the top 12% of all saké produced in Japan. 

They are rare, and they are more expensive than saké produced in the U.S. 

or Japanese saké produced by the mega-breweries. This is a first time that they 

have been available in the U.S.

Castello di Brolio 

Chianti Classico 

TRE BICCHIERI 

“THREE GLASSES” 

Castello di Brolio, established in 1141, is the oldest winery in Italy still 

owned and run by the original family. Barone Bettino Ricasoli invented the 

original formula for Chianti by figuring out how to use the best grapes to 

make the best wine for the region. The Italian government used his formula as 

the base of the D.O.C.G. rules for the wine we know as Chianti. 

The grand cru of the Brolio estate, the flagship wine by which all other 

Chianti Classicos will be judged. Made from Sangiovese with a small addition 

of Cabernet Sauvignon for structure, this wine shows an immensely concentrated 

aroma of dried fruit with secondary notes of vanilla and tobacco. Potent, 

fresh, and well balanced, the wine finishes long and lush with lingering fruit and 

smooth tannins. A long maceration (19 days) and long aging (18 in barriques, 

65% new and 8 months bottle age) period brings all the intense flavors together 

harmoniously.

food and wine publication. Competition for the three glass award is fierce. 

Over 12,600 wines were evaluated, including wines from each of the 21 

regions. 

The wines are tasted blind, by panels made up of at least five members. In lieu of 

point scores, the ratings are expressed by a four tier system…

Dino, purchased 55 acres. Today it consists of over 500 acres, of which almost 

300 are cultivated with D.O.C. and D.O.C. G. vineyards. 

This wine is a blend of 80% Sangiovese, 10% Merlot, & 10% Canaiolo 

Nero and Mammolo. The wine has a deep ruby red color with scents of 

graphite, chocolate, coffee, and blackberries. Full-bodied & elegant, it flaunts a 

finish of great depth. Vinification: After soft pressing, the grapes are macerated 

on the skins for more than two weeks. The wine is then aged in French oak 

(80% new oak) for 16 months an additional 10 months in the bottle.

Januik 

(WASHINGTON STATE) 

In 1990, Mike was hired to be the Head Winemaker at Chateau Ste. Michelle 

Winery. Over the course of the next nine years, he played a critical role in its 

development into a world class winery. During his tenure, Chateau Ste. 

Michelle was consistently recognized for the high quality of their wines. Literally 

dozens of Januik-made wines have received 90-plus scores in Wine Spectator. 

(During 1997 and 1998 alone, the Wine Spectator gave eighteen of his wines a score 

of 90 or above.) In 1999, Wine Enthusiast magazine named Mike one of the world’s 

ten Masters of Merlot. And twice in the last three years under his guidance, Chateau 

Ste. Michelle was named Winery of the Year by Wine and Spirits Magazine. 

“Understand the man and you will understand the wines. Behind the exuberance, behind the dominating personality, 

behind the Latin passion, behind the skilled manipulation of the domestic and export market and the 

media there is a poet and a philosopher, a man of sensitivity and taste, a thinker and a perfectionist. 

And behind the wines, underneath the still atypical cleanliness and vibrant expression of Nebbiolo fruit, 

in addition to the oakiness and the concentration, is the element that sets Gaja wines above the rest: breed. You 

can see it in the Chardonnay; you can see it in the Barbera. Above all you can see it in the single-vineyard 

Barbarescos. This is triumphant, aristrocratic Nebbiolo. Wine of great individuality - and wine which for all its 

‘modernity’ has not lost its soul.” Clive Coates

Mike attributes much of this success and his development 

as a winemaker to the experience he’s had with 

other winemakers. In addition to the work he has done 

with winemakers in Bordeaux, Mike has had the unique 

opportunity to work with Piero Antinori, Italy’s best 

known and most innovative wine producer. Together 

with Antinori winemaker Renzo Cotarrella, they have 

produced Col Solare. This has been a long-term collaborative 

effort intended to produce the best Washington 

State red wine possible. 

Through all of his experiences over the last sixteen 

years, Mike considers himself extremely fortunate. 

During this time, he has had a diverse enough range of winemaking experiences to 

fill a lifetime. And he still feels as though his journey is one that has just begun.

‘The Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Petit Verdot all show signs of potential greatness.’ said Bob Levy, winemaker at Harlan Estate in 

Napa Valley. ‘The wines have the power and concentration of ‘94 and ‘97, without the superripe character that ‘97 brought us.’ 

‘Best since 1997,’ added Mia Klein, winemaker for Dalle Valle, another Napa cult winery. The 2001 reds show ‘great concentration, extract and sap.’ 

The delicious young wines I tried this week in two separate barrel tastings offered every indication that this new vintage will yield dozens of outstanding 

wines and compare favorably in overall quality with two recent stars, 1999 and 1997.” Wine Spectator, James Laube 

2001 Caymus Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley.......................................................................................................62.99 

“A plush, rich, complex wine, with layers of currant, earth, pencil lead, light toasty oak and minerally flavors. Packs in lots of flavor and follows through with a concentrated 

aftertaste.” Wine Spectator, rated 92-94/100 

2001 Ramey Wine Cellars Diamond Mountain District Napa Valley ......................................................................................54.99 

“Opaque medium ruby. Sappy aromas of black raspberry, mocha and exotic spices. Much denser and sweeter than the Claret, with superb mouth feel. Flavors of black 

raspberry, currant and chocolate offer a penetrating sweetness. A huge wine with a boatload of tannins and a finishing flavor of bitter chocolate. ‘The young-vines tannins 

are not yet noble,’ admits Ramey.” Steve Tanzer, rated 91-93/100 

“A wine with sensational potential…” Robert Parker, rated 91-94/100 

2001 Ramey Wine Cellars Jericho Canyon Vineyard Napa Valley............................................................................................84.99 

“Saturated ruby to the rim. Perfumed nose is at once cool and superripe, melding cassis, black licorice, bitter chocolate, mocha and espresso. Lush but penetrating in the 

mouth, with hugely concentrated, urgent, liqueur-like fruit that currently makes the 15+% alcohol disappear. Here the huge tannins are noticeably smooth and fine, and 

the fruit shows terrific staying power on the aftertaste.” Steve Tanzer, rated 93-95/100 

“…is a seamless, lush offering…” Robert Parker, rated 90-92/100

2001 Philip Togni Cabernet Sauvignon....................................................................................................................................79.99 

2001 Philip Togni Cabernet Sauvignon...........................................................................................................................mag. 169.99 

“The wines mirror the owner…what you see is what you get…authenticity, no B.S., and plenty of character. In what is an abundant vintage for Togni, the 2001 Cabernet 

Sauvignon looks to be a superlative effort. It boasts a saturated black/purple color as well as a strikingly pure nose of crème de cassis, tapenade, licorice, white flowers, and 

subtle roasted wood notions. Dense, velvety-textured, and opulent, with sensational concentration, and the vintage’s outstanding seamlessness, this classic Cabernet is best 

purchased only by those with patience and cold cellars.” Robert Parker, rated 94-96/100 

“Saturated full ruby. Superripe aromas of black raspberry, dark chocolate and nutty oak; shows the confectionery and roasted hints of the vintage’s riper examples. Rich, 

dense and stuffed with currant, blackberry and chocolate flavors; supple for this wine but with excellent backbone and solid acidity. Finishes with big but lush tannins and 

plenty of grip.” Steve Tanzer, rated 91-93/100

JOAN & WALT FLOWERS, 

PROPRIETORS 

2001 SONOMA COAST CHARDONNAY 


“This vintage of our Sonoma Coast Chardonnay is immediately captivating in its aromatics. All the regular ‘players’ are here including 

an abundance of citrus (lemon, orange, grapefruit), tart green apple, and our distinct floral signature. Supporting cast members include 

fresh brioche, subtle wet-stone minerality, and an intriguing caramelizd crème brulee character. The palate is creamy and balanced from 

entry through finish with crisp acidity and a lingering aftertaste of brioche and mineral.” Walt Flowers 

2001 SONOMA COAST PINOT NOIR 


“The aromas of this wine are, again, distinctly forward and multilayered. The clean brightness of fruit is what sets this vintage apart. 

A predominance of “red fruits” is accented by a touch of curry-like spice and a “kiss” of well-seasoned French oak. The texture is plush 

and round with the underlying structure and acidity not becoming apparent until the late palate and finish. This Pinot was a joy to 

blend with it never ceasing to amaze us how the sum can be so much greater than the parts. And there were several parts! Five key vineyards 

and five minor ones were the sources for the blend this year; with two of the key vineyards being Camp Meeting Ridge and our 

new ranch off Fort Ross Road. The purity of this wien is what is so striking and reflects the preciseness and delineation of fruit taht 

was a common denominator in many of the Pinot lots this vintage. Drinking surprisingly well for such a young wine, I believe this 

vintage will continue to evolve and improve over the next 3 years.” Walt Flowers

Outstanding Wines 

From Australia 

d’Arenberg 

One of the undisputed kings of Australian Shiraz and Rhone varietals, it appears that Chester Osborn of d’Arenberg can do no wrong. With vineyards over 80 years old and 

utilizing minimal handling techniques that include the use of the 19th century basket presses (for both white and red wines) foot treading and small batch submerged cap 

open fermenters for reds, the range displays incredible depth, from the flagship icon’s right through to the entry level “The Stump Jump’s.” Robert Parker commented in 2002 

that… “this is one of South Australia’s most renowned wineries and an institution in McLaren Vale.” 

“Chester Osborn, the remarkable person behind this enormous array of both impeccably high quality and value-priced wines, deserves considerable accolades for what he is 

able to achieve at all price ranges. If you love Australian wines, d’Arenberg is a winery to seek out as these offerings all possess abundant soul as well as character.” Robert 

Parker 

2002 Laughing Magpie Shiraz/Viognier.........................................................................................................................................29.99 

“The 2002 The Laughing Magpie Shiraz/Viognier (93% of the former and 7% of the latter) is the La Mouline of McLaren Vale. An exotic, heady, flamboyantly-styled red, it 

boasts an inky/purple color as well as a gorgeous nose of lychee nuts, acacia flowers, blackberries, and crème de cassis.” Robert Parker, rated 93/100

“Readers should be on the look out for the 2001 The Dead Arm Shiraz, one of the greatest examples of this cuvée. Its dense black/purple color is accompanied by celestial aromas 

of melted licorice, graphite, blackberries, cassis, incense, anise, and toasty oak. Fabulously concentrated, with great purity, an unctuous, viscous texture, and an amazingly 

long, 60-second plus finish, this fabulous baby will need 5-6 years of cellaring, and should drink well over the following 20-25 years.” Rated 98+/100, Robert Parker

Leeuwin Estate 

In 1972, following an extensive search for the area most suitable to produce the best varietal wines in Australia, Robert Mondavi identified the future 

site of the Leeuwin Estate vineyard, which evolved under the direction of founders Denis and Tricia Horgan (with Mondavi acting as consultant and 

mentor). The initial vineyards were planned, deep plowed, deep ripped, emptied of stone and eventually planted over a five year period from 1975. 

The winery building was opened in 1978 and the estate was thrust into the international spotlight when Decanter Magazine (UK) gave its highest recommendation 

to the 1981 ‘Art Series’ Chardonnay in an international blind tasting. It has since become a benchmark estate on the world stage, with 

Wine Spectator awarding two of the past four Art Series Chardonnays 97 points. 

“These are the highest ratings I have yet bestowed on a group of wines from Leeuwin Estate, one of the benchmarks, if not the reference point winery 

in Margaret River.” Robert Parker

“These singular treasures from Australia should not be missed!” Robert Parker 

The Chambers winery has been family owned since its establishment in 1858. The winemaking duties and care of the “old material” have been handed 

down from father to son through five generations and for the last 40 years have rested with Bill Chambers, one of Australia’s most respected wine personalities. 

Acclaimed by critics the world over, it is perhaps Robert Parker who summed it up best in 2001: “Anyone who has ever tasted Chambers fortified 

Tokay or Muscat realizes the world’s reference point for these wines begins and ends with Chambers. In summary, life is too short not to try one 

of the Muscats or Tokays from William Chambers…a true Australian treasure.” 

“William Chambers’s offerings, which are among the greatest fortified whites in the world, basically elicit the same comments as well as nearly identical scores every year. I was 

simply going to write…blah, blah, blah, blah…but I thought that might not be sufficient for new readers who have not seen my tasting notes in the past. The real values are 

the inexpensive Muscat and Muscadelle. The Muscadelle (Tokay) exhibits a light amber color as well as a gorgeous fragrance, and plenty of honey and molasses characteristics 

in a full-bodied, unctuous style. The Muscat is even better, offering a rose/amber color followed by notes of black tea. This sexy effort is the equivalent of liquid viagra. Fullbodied 

and opulent, these two cuvées average 10 years in age. 

The two “Grand” cuvées average 70 years in age. The dark amber-colored Grand Muscadelle (Tokay) possesses scents of caramel, toffee, figs, molasses, and black tea. The 

Grand Muscat reveals more orange marmalade notes. It is an incredibly unctuous, sweet, thick wine, but, like its siblings, it is neither heavy nor cloying because of good underlying 

acidity. 

The non-vintage rare Muscat and Rare Muscadelle are off any earthly chart in terms of richness and intensity. The major component in these fortifieds date from 1890. The 

Rare Muscadelle (Tokay) is a thick, unctuous, brown sugar-imbued fruit bomb revealing notes of balsamic vinegar intermixed with a smorgasbord of heavenly delights including 

caramel, melted toffee, maple syrup, and Asian spices. It must be tasted to be believed. The Rare Muscat may be even better, but the system stops at 100 points. It is equally 

rich, profound, concentrated, and unctuous, with explosive aromatic fireworks.

Mandarin oranges, citrus, and smoke in a medium-bodied, intensely

“The 1999 Merlot (which includes 10% Syrah) exhibits a Pomerol-like character. 

It represents a synthesis in style between the elegance and complexity of a French 

wine, and the power and ripe fruit of a top-flight California offering. An opaque 

purple color is followed by aromas of cola, chocolate, and macerated jammy black 

cherries. This super-concentrated, high strung, packed effort appears to be as tight 

as a coiled spring. There is great fruit on the attack as well as an imposing structure, 

but it feels like that is all being held in check at present. Despite the big, 

intense flavors, the wine is elegant and light on its feet.” Robert Parker, rated

graphite characteristics. Chewy, thick, and unevolved, it only hints at its ultimate 

potential.” Robert Parker, rated 90-92/100

wine is Brunello di Montalcino. At one-third the price, try this. 

Deep garnet core with a ruby rim. Heady sottobosco aroma reminiscent of sweet pipe 

tobacco laced with the perfumed scent of violets. Deep plum flavor mingles with cherry jam, bitter 

chocolate and roasted coffee bean; very fresh and clear. the wine offers a superb sense of depth 

and harmony on the middle palate, and the tannins are firm but ripe. The long, silky finish is 

graced by an undercurrent of anise. Generous, suave, and delicious.” Steve Tanzer, rated 96/100.

1997 Casa Nova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino...............64.99 

“Like finely meshed cashmere. Exotic aromas of plums, incense and Indian spices. Full-bodied,

time. Best after 2004. 4,580 cases made.” Wine Spectator, rated 95/100

1997 Il Poggione Brunello di Montalcino..........................54.99

with a lovely caressing texture and a long, reserved, fruity finish.: Wine Spectator, rated 91/100 


1997 Tenuta Caparzo Brunello di Montalcino la Casa ......99.99 

“A big, modern Brunello, with berry, cherry and vanilla character. Full-bodied, with round, polished 

tannins and a long raisin and dried cherry aftertaste. A departure from the finesse of La Casa. 

Still needs time to come together. Best after 2003. Wine Spectator, rated 94/100.

OLIVE OIL 

The property supports 1,700 mature olive trees

marsh on elevated hillsides. Between the marsh 

scrub and cork trees; the poor soils and more 

severe climatic exposure produce small olives 

of extremely intense flavor.

“Best ever from this producer. Subtle yet complex aromas of leather, plum, spices and berries. 

Full-bodied, with glorious crushed raspberry flavors and superfine, caressing tannins. Extremely 

long finish. Best from 2003 through 2012.” Wine Spectator, rated 95/100. 

1997 Lisini Brunello di Montalcino...................................69.99 

“A rich, yet refined red. Super plummy on the nose, with hints of fresh spices. Full-bodied and

1997 Marchesi de Frescobaldi Castelgiocondo 

Brunello di Montalcino ............................................59.99 


1997 Pertimali Brunello di Montalcino Livio Sassetti.....139.99 

“Always a top-notch Brunello, the 1997 is staggering in its aromatic fireworks and concentrated, 

long, intense flavors. Sumptuous aromas of dried Provencal herbs, roasted meats, soy, spice box, 

asphalt, truffles, and black fruits linger in the air. Flavors of new saddle leather are added to jammy 

black fruit characteristics. Opulently-textured, full-bodied, and gorgeously pure, this wine creates 

an olfactory overload. Its low acidity, high glycerin, and huge fruit reserves suggest drinking it now 

and over the next 12-18 years. Mamma mia!” Robert Parker 96/100 

1997 Soldera Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Intistie.....299.99 

1997 Uccelliera Brunello di Montalcino ............................54.99 

“The spectacular 1997 Brunello di Montalcino, which has been bottled, but will not be released 

until January, (2002) is a thrilling, seamless example of Brunello that I hope is indicative of how 

special this vintage will be. A deep opaque ruby/purple color is atypical for Brunello, but the nose 

of dried herbs, spice box, fruitcake, red and black fruits, minerals, and earth is stunningly complex. 

It is full-bodied, with supple tannin, a velvety texture, and a tremendously long finish. It can be 

drunk now or cellared for 14-15+years.” Robert Parker, rated 94/100 


1997 Vitanza Brunello di Montalcino................................51.99 

“A classy wine, with tobacco, mineral, licorice and cherry aromas. Full-bodied, with wonderfully 

silky tannins and a gloriously caressing finish. Ultraclean, ultra well-made. Drink now through 

2010. 515 cases made.” Wine Spectator, rated 93/100.

2002 Chardonnay ‘Carneros District’ 

2002 Chardonnay ‘Napa Valley’ 

2002 Chardonnay ‘el Novillero’ 

“In recent months, all of us at Neyers Vineyards have been gratified at the wine media’s response to our several bottlings of 

Chardonnay. This began last December with a ‘hat trick’ in Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar. Our three newly 

released bottlings of 2001 Chardonnay were scored 90 Points, 92 Points and 91 Points, In January we were included (twice!) 

in the Wine & Spirits Magazine annual list of ‘The 100 Best Wines of the Year.’ Of the 100 top wines listed only four were 

California Chardonnay, and two of these four wines were from Neyers Vineyards. Our 2000 El Novillero Chardonnay and 

our 2000 Napa Valley Chardonnay were both given a score of 94 Points. 

A few days later, The Wine Spectator listed our 2001 Carneros District Chardonnay in the January 15, 2003 issue, scoring it 91 

Points. After another week went by, we learned that California Grapevine had included our 2001 Napa Chardonnay in its 

February-March, 2003 issue as the First Place finisher in one of that issue’s tastings, rating the wine ‘Very Highly 

Recommended’ with a score of 91d The Wine Spectator reviewed our 2001 Thieriot Vineyard Chardonnay, scoring it 94 Points, and observing ‘…Deeply concentrated, 

(the wine) is remarkably complex.’ While Sophocles did indeed write ‘For God hates utterly the bray of bragging tongues,’ I think it was Dizzy Dean who said, ‘It ain’t 

bragging if you done it.’ 

Not surprisingly, those 2000 and 2001 wines are sold out. But Ehren has a new set of offerings for us, and, after tasting them, we’re convinced that we’ve got new 

wines in the bottle every bit as good. You be the judge. Here’s what’s available now” Bruce Neyers

2000 Vintage Port 

an excellent year… 

“With respect to a buying strategy, no one will regret 

purchasing the top 2000 vintage ports, even at the prices 

they fetch.” Robert Parker 

“The new millennium brings a classic vintage.” 


2000 Cockburns .................................................................64.99 

“Potentially one of the most compelling wines of the vintage, this inky 

black/purple-colored 2000 exhibits notes of scorched earth, melted asphalt, 

blackberry liqueur, and a pungent, penetrating intensity that reverberates in the 

mouth as well as the head. Full-bodied, massive, and concentrated, with a 45- 

second finish, this thrilling effort should drink well between 2010-2035.” Robert 

Parker, rated 95+/100 




2000 Croft.........................................................................69.99 

“A striking, individualistic nose of spring flowers, blackberries, blueberries, and 

lead pencil shavings emerges from this saturated purple-colored 2000. Evolved 

yet expansive, sweet, and generous, it admirably conceals moderately high tannins 

under a wealth of fruit and glycerin. The aromatic profile and attack merit 

a score in the mid-nineties, but the finish is short, thus lowering the overall rating. 

My instincts suggest there is more to this port than it revealed the days I tasted 

it. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2025” Robert Parker, rated 90+/100 



2000 Delaforce ..................................................................62.99 

“Made in a sweeter, more open-knit, precocious style, Delaforce’s 2000 reveals a 

dense ruby/purple color a swell as sweet, accessible black cherry/blackberry fruit 

with hints of smoke, earth, and truffles. This lush, medium to full-bodied, juicy, 

succulent effort will last for 15+ years.” Robert Parker, rated 90/100 



2000 Fonseca......................................................................89.99 

“Dense ruby/purple-colored, with an exotic, exuberant perfume of black fruits, 

flowers, incense, and licorice, this unctuously-textured, full-bodied port is one of 

the most concentrated of the vintage. Sweet, expansive, and succulent, this largescaled, 

but remarkably well-balanced effort is surprisingly forward and accessible 

(by Fonseca’s standards). Anticipated maturity: 2006-2025.” Robert Parker, rated 

95+/100 




2000 Quinta do Noval........................................................89.99 

“The saturated blue/purple/black-colored 2000 Vintage Port reveals a distinctive 

bouquet of graphite, creme de cassis liqueur, licorice, and spice. Sweet tannin, 

full body, and outstanding concentration provide an impressive entry on the 

palate. Notions of chocolate make an appearance in the long finish of this sweet, 

lush, precocious effort. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2030.” Robert Parker, rated 

92/100 

“This young Vintage Port shows wonderful focus, with laserguided aromas of 

violets, berries and anise. Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins and a long, long finish. 

Very, very fine. Noval does it again.” Wine Spectator, rated 95-100/100 



2000 Silval..........................................................................34.99 

“A dense ruby/purple color is followed by sweet aromas of ripe black fruits. Not 

a blockbuster, Silval’s 2000 is a full-bodied, elegant, soft, fleshy, accessible effort 

that should reach full maturity in 5-7 years, and last for 15-18.” Robert Parker, 

rated 90/100 

“Textbook young Vintage Port. Beautiful aromas of crushed blackberries, mulberries 

and flowers. Full-bodied, medium-sweet, with loads of grip. Super tannin 

backbone.” Wine Spectator, rated 92-94/100 

A finely crafted wine, showing concentration, sweet fruit and delicious toasty flavors. 

With its final impression of delicious, sweet fruit, this is going to be a wine 

to drink in 5 to 10 years.” Wine Enthusiast, rated 88-91/100 



2000 Taylor Fladgate ....................................................half 49.99 

“Among the most saturated blue/purple/black-colored examples of the vintage, 

Taylor’s 2000 tastes like a young vintage of Château Latour on steroids. Aromas 

of graphite, blackberry liqueur, créme de cassis and smoke jump from the glass. 

Spectacularly concentrated and enormously endowed, with sweetness allied to 

ripe tannin, decent acidity, and layer upon layer of fruit and extract, this is the 

leading candidate for the port of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2040.” 

Robert Parker, rated 98+/100 



2000 Warre.........................................................................64.99 

2000 Warre ...................................................................half 32.99 

“A solid and powerful-young wine, with mineral and currant character. Full-bodied, 

with well-integrated tannins and a long finish. May move up a notch after 

bottling. Outstanding Warre. 9,000 cases made.” Wine Spectator, rated 92- 

94/100 

“Straightforward yet intense, ripe black raspberry liqueur and cassis scents are 

followed by medium to full-bodied, elegant, restrained, balanced port with moderately 

high tannin as well as outstanding purity. It is a vintage port with moderately 

high tannin as well as outstanding purity. It is a vintage port with impeccable 

finesse. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2020.” Robert Parker, rated 91/100 





2000 Bordeaux 

Second Labels 

“Sometimes second place can beat coming in first. Consider Bordeaux’s ‘second wines,’ for example. Officially, these wines are made 

from grapes that top châteaus don’t consider quite good enough for inclusion in their best wine, or ‘grand vin.’ But in a spectacular 

vintage such as 2000, serious producers made wines of such high quality that even their second-best bottlings are terrific. And, 

because they don’t carry the famous label, they are often great values as well. This issue, James Suckling points you to some of 

Bordeaux’s best second wines.” Wine Spectator 

Les Pagodes de Cos 92 points.................................................27.99 

“Second wine of Chateau Cos d’Estournel. Very intense aromas of crushed berries 

and pressed flowers, with a hint of currant bush. Full-bodied and chewy, with lots 

of tannins but loads of fruit. A muscular, big wine. Very well-done. Best after 2010.” 


Chateau Palmer Alter Ego 92 points .......................................44.99 

“Second wine of Chateau Palmer. This is super for a second wine. Fantastic aromas 

of chocolate, berry and coffee. Yet very classy and subtle. Full-bodied, with a 

reserved, rich and caressing texture. Loads of ripe and wonderful fruit. Best after 


Sarget de Gruaud-Larose 91 points .........................................22.99 

“Second wine of Chateau Gruaud Larose. This chateau made a classic grand vin, and 

the second wine is outstanding. very rich and plummy on the nose. Full-bodied, 

with chewy tannins and plenty of fruit on the finish. Serious concentration here. 

Best after 2007.” Wine Spectator 

Chateau Bahans Haut-Brion 90 points....................................59.99 

“Second wine of Chateau Haut-Brion. Berry, tobacco and coffee aromas. Mediumto 

full bodied, with lots of flavor and a silky and luscious finish. Best after 2007.” 


Chateau Haut-Bages-Averous 90 points ...................................34.99 

“Second wine of Chateau Lynch Bages. Clean and focused, with raspberry, currant 

and just the right amount of wood on the nose and palate. Medium-to full-bodied, 

with silky tannins and a long finish. Best after 2005.” Wine Spectator 

Moulin Riche 90 points.........................................................22.99 

“Second wine of Chateau Leoville Poyferre. Impressive aromas of crushed berries, 

blackberries and raspberries. Full-bodied, with ultrafine tannins and a long, long finish. 

This is a beautiful red than entices you to taste it. I mean drink it. Best after 


Reserve de la Comtesse 90 points............................................29.99 

“Second wine of Chateau Pichon-Longueville-Lalande. Rather decadent, with berry, 

plum and tobacco character and a hint of meat. Medium-bodied, with chewy tannins 

and a medium finish. Best after 2007.” Wine Spectator 

Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux 94 points........................59.99 

Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux 94 points ...............mag. 139.99 

Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux 94 points ...........3.0 liter 269.99 

“Second wine of Chateau Margaux. Margaux’s No. 2 was created in the 19th century, 

but production was halted in the 1930’s. It was revived in the 1970’s by the father 

of current sole owner, Corinne Mentzelopoulos. Best Pavillon Rouge I have ever 

tasted. Glorious aromas of freshly picked raspberries, with tiny hints of cream and 

minerals. Full-bodied, with superfine tannins and a long, long finish of berries and 

cherries. Best after 2010. From France.” Wine Spectator 

Les Forts de Latour 93 points.................................................69.99 

Les Forts de Latour 93 points ....................................... mag. 169.99 

Les Forts de Latour 93 points ...................................3.0 liter 349.99 

“Second wine of Chateau Latour. Les Forts is made from grapes from young vines 

in the prime Vineyards —where-the mature-vine fruit that goes into Chateau Latour 

is grown-near the Gironde, but also from secondary vineyards inland that are nearly 

surrounded by Pichon-Lalande. Best Les Forts in years. Superenticing aromas of 

crushed raspberries, Indian spices and hints of vanilla. Full-bodied, with a refined 

and tight tannin structure and long, refreshing finish. A beauty. Best after 2009.” 


Pensees de Lafleur 93 points.................................................139.99 

“Second wine of Chateau Lafleur. It might seem excessive to squeeze a second wine 

from an estate that owns fewer than 12 acres of vineyards and produces only 1,000 

to 2,000 cases of its first wine per vintage, but owners Jacques an Sylvie Guinaudeau 

introduced Pensees de Lafleur in the difficult 1987 vintage, and the results testify to 

the wisdom of their decision. This is fantastic. Lots of black licorice, berry and wet 

earth aromas. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a fantastic, fruit and mineral 

aftertaste. Love this. Best after 2009. From Franc.” Wine Spectator

THE SECONDARY 

OF THE 

LABELS 

Major Bordeaux 

“Savvy consumers are discovering that many second 

labels are among the best values to be found 

in fine red wines.” Fine Wine Folio 

Even those consumers affluent enough to enjoy the best vintages of such fine Bordeaux chateaux as Lafite, Margaux, 

Latour, Haut-Brion, Pichon-Lalande, Leoville Las Cases, Cos d’Estournel, and Lynch-Bages-to name just a few of 

the best-known vineyards-are no more averse to a bargain than the rest of us. So, if there’s a way for all of us to buy wines 

from these very same vineyards at, say, a third of the price, we want to know of each year’s crop to bottle and sell under 

the Chateau name. The best of the rest is marketed under a second label at a much lower price. Some of the more familiar 

and widely available of these include Carruades de Lafite, Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux, Les Forts de Latour, 

Reserve de la Comtesse, and Clos du Marquis. Each of the second-label wines comes from the very same vineyard as the 

chateau wine, is made by the same people in the same cellar, and is aged and bottled at the chateau. Simply put, the wine 

sold under the second label has every legal right to be sold under the chateau name.

“Three Birds,” is another small production gem and their first GMS (Grenache, 

Mourvedre, Syrah). The wine shows bright strawberry, pomegranate, and spice 

aromas while keeping up the ripe fruit and tremendous concentration and depth 

that we have come to expect from Carlisle wines. Another brilliant wine that 

will surely not be around for long. Only 275 cases produced.

1999 

Tignanello 

“The deep ruby/purple-colored 1999 Tignanello exhibits rare 

elegance married to considerable flavor intensity as well as 

power. Normally a blend of 80% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet 

Sauvignon, and 5% Cabernet Franc aged in French oak for 12 

months, the 1999 offers up aromas of new saddle leather 

intertwined with black cherries, currants, creosote, vanilla, and 

spice box. Rich and medium-bodied, with adequate acidity as 

well as sweet but noticeable tannin, it is the third consecutive 

exceptional vintage from this reference winery for modern, 

aggressively-styled Tuscan reds.” Robert Parker, rated 92/100

Guado al Tasso 

“Spectacular, the 1999 Guado Al Tasso possesses sweet tannin and accessibility. 

Its explosive aromatics consist of smoke, licorice, expresso, chocolate, 

vanillin, and celestial black currants. With sensational concentration, 

flamboyant flavors, an opulent texture, full body, and brilliant concentration 

as well as delineation, it comes across as intense, balanced, 

pure, and rich.” Robert Parker, rated 94/100

“The dense ruby/purple-colored 1999 Masseto offers a fabulous bouquet 

of sweet oak, black raspberries, blackberries, currants, new wood, 

and licorice. Firmly-structured and medium to full-bodied yet remarkably 

elegant, this impressive beauty needs 3-4 years of cellaring, and 

should age for 15+ years. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2019.” Robert 

Parker, rated 94/100 

“Superb red here. Gorgeous black olive and ripe fruit aromas in this 

Merlot. Full-bodied, with big, rich and chewy tannins and a long, long, 

ripe fruit finish. Fantastic. Best after 2006. 2,815 cases made.” Wine 

Spectator, rated 96/100

Le Pigeoulet Rouge 

DANIEL BRUNIER 

"This beauty is a creation of the brilliant winemaking team, Frederic and Daniel 

Brunier of Vieux Telegraph. They also own seven acres along-side the Rhone river 

just outside the Chateauneuf-du-Pape appellation and seventeen more in stony soil 

at the foot of the Mont Ventoux. Pigeoulet is from eighty percent Grenache with 

some Syrah, Cabernet, and Carignan to complete the blend. The wine has been a hit 

every year, but I don't think it has ever been this luscious and fun to drink. It tastes 

like a red Rhone...well, it is a red Rhone, a delicious, irresistible 

red Rhone. As a bargain, as a user-friendly, everyday 

old reliable, it is hard to beat." Kermit Lynch

Quinault L’Enclos 

St. Emilion 

“This is an emerging St.-Emilion superstar run by Dr. Alain and Françoise Raynaud. Situated within the Libourne city limits on gravelly soils, Quinault could be 

called the Haut-Brion of St.-Emilion given the fact that it 1) is totally surrounded by a clos (wall enclosure), 2) is within the city limits, and 3) possesses stony topsoils. 

Since their first vintage in 1997, the Raynauds have taken this 37-acre walled vineyard to new heights. They continue to experiment with concentration techniques, but 

the wine that ultimately results from a blend of 80% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Cabernet Franc is beautifully pure and elegant, with considerable 

aging potential. The last three vintages have been profound…This elegant, exotic, lush, medium-bodied, Burgundian-styled St.-Emilion boasts great complexity along 

with an enticing perfume of blueberries, blackberries, and flowers. Although it does not possess a great deal of weight, it offers pure fruit, sweet tannin, and no hard 

edges. This is a textbook example of Bordeaux at its richest and most elegant. It will be delicious in a few years, and evolve gracefully for 14-15 years.” Robert Parker, 

rated 93/100 

“Full ruby-red. Nose of roasted tobacco, mocha and currant offers considerable sex appeal. Silky, vinous and long on personality; warm iron and graphite notes add complexity 

to the red and black berry flavors. Very rich and deep. Finishes quite long, with 

lovely dusty tannins. With his third commercial release, Raynaud has produced a wine 

that proves the high quality potential of his site…The ‘99, bottled in January with a 

light fining but no filtration, has turned out splendidly; I would have picked it blind 

as a top Pomerol.” Steve Tanzer, rated 92/100

Terms: ALL WINES ARE SOLD IN MISSOURI AND TITLE PASSES TO THE BUYER IN MISSOURI. We make no representation to the legal rights of anyone to ship or import alcoholic 

beverages into any state outside of Missouri. The buyer is solely responsible for shipment of wines. By placing this order with your credit card, check or cash, you authorize Brown Derby 

to act on your behalf in processing and shipping this order, including engaging a common carrier to deliver your order. WINES MAY BE SOLD AND DELIVERED ONLY TO PERSONS 

WHO ARE AT LEAST 21 YEARS OLD AND IN PLACING YOUR ORDER, YOU REPRESENT TO US THAT YOU ARE AT LEAST 21 YEARS OLD AND THE PERSON TO WHOM 

DELIVERY WILL BE MADE IS AT LEAST 21 YEARS OLD. When your alcoholic beverages are delivered, the person receiving delivery will be required to show identification proving that 

he or she is at least 21 years old. All sales are subject to applicable Missouri state and any city sales taxes. All wines listed in this catalog are subject to availability. However, fine wines are not 

produced on a large scale. Many vintage wines are limited in availability and, when they go out of stock, are usually not 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 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 accuracy, but in the event of a misprint, the price posted in the store will prevail. 

Delivery: We use several ground carriers. For a normal ground shipment, allow 8 to 10 days to receive your order after it has been processed. Ground Rates are better for six or more cases 

shipped to one location. Please inquire about rates for all shipments, as they are based on weight and delivery location. Affordable Second Day Air services and Next Day Air services are available 

anywhere in the continental U.S. We cannot ship to a Post Office Box. On all residential deliveries, there will be a $2.00 upcharge. The purchaser is responsible for the claim of damage or 

loss once the product leaves our premises. Note: Starting July 1st, 2002 all purchases 

will automatically be charged 1% of the total purchase for insurance. Please be aware 

that claims are difficult due to the myriad of alcohol transport regulations. We reserve 

the right to hold wine orders up to 90 days before shipping as a quality control measure. 

Wine can be damaged by temperature extremes. We will not ship if the temperature 

in our area is above 75 degrees or below 40 degrees. It is your responsibility to 

advise us what temperatures are in your area. We cannot be held responsible if you 

request shipment and the wines travel in a climate outside an acceptable temperature 

range. We will hold and store wine purchases up to 30 days. After that time a $3.00 per 

case per month charge will be automatically assessed. Any cancellations are subject to a 

10 percent restocking penalty. Occasionally, irreplaceable bottles will be broken in shipment 

or somehow mishandled in the delivery system to us. In the event any wines do 

not arrive, or are damaged in shipment to us, or are damaged by us prior to shipment 

to you, we will make every effort to substitute, subject to your approval, wines of equivalent 

value. Should we be unable to make an acceptable substitution, we will then 

refund your payment together with 5 percent simple interest.
