The Vineyard Spring 2011
Splurge-Worthy New & Recent Releases from
California & Washington State
Betz Family Winery
2008 Clos de Betz_ ___________________________________ 44.99
“The Bordeaux-styled wines begin with the 2008 Clos de Betz, a multiregional
blend from four renowned vineyards, and composed of 66%
Merlot, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 9% Petit Verdot. It was aged for
16 months in 65% new French oak. A glass-coating opaque purple color,
it surrenders an expressive nose of pain grille, graphite, Asian spices, a
hint of balsamic, black currant, and blackberry. On the palate it admirably
combines elegance with power. It has superb concentration, incipient complexity,
layers of fruit, and a lengthy finish. Give it 6-8 years of additional cellaring and then
drink it through its 25th birthday.” Wine Advocate, rated 95/100
2008 Père de Famille Cabernet Sauvignon_ _____________________ 59.99
“The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Pere de Famille is a blend of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon,
10% Petit Verdot, and 5% Merlot sourced from 3 regions and 4 vineyards. A glasscoating
opaque purple color, it gives up an expressive perfume of sandalwood, mineral,
truffle, espresso, incense, violets, and blackberry. Suave on the palate with wellintegrated
fine-grained tannins, this sweetly-fruited, dense, layered offering will benefit
from 6-8 years of cellaring and will have a drinking window extending from 2016 to
2038.” Wine Advocate, rated 96/100
Blankiet
2007 Paradise Hills Vineyard Proprietary Red_ ___________________ 199.99
“It appears to be the greatest vintage yet produced at Blankiet.” Wine Advocate, rated
97/100
Bryant Family
2008 Cabernet Sauvignon_ ______________________________ 549.99
“The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon (794 cases) shows more chocolate, roasted espresso,
blueberry and blackberry characteristics in addition to more concentration and depth
than I noticed last year and a big, powerful, glycerin-imbued, heady finish. It should
drink well for 15 years.” Wine Advocate, rated 94/100
Hundred Acre
“From meticulous harvesting berry by berry rather than grape bunch by
grape bunch, to an obsessive/compulsive barrel regime as well as winemaking,
Hundred Acre is the Napa outpost of visionary and a genius –
Jayson Woodbridge… ” Wine Advocate
2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard_______________ 299.99
“The 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Ark Vineyard possesses a dense ruby/purple color as
well as an extraordinary nose of spring flowers intermixed with blueberries, black
raspberries, wet rocks and spice box. Deep, full-bodied, rich and intense, this gorgeous
effort again demonstrates what brilliant winemaking and a top-notch terroir can produce.
It should drink well for 15-20 years.” Wine Advocate, rated 97-99/100
2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Kayli Morgan _______________________ 299.99
“Jayson Woodbridge’s 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Kayli Morgan Vineyard is a beauty.
Its deep dark plum/purple hue is followed by notes of graphite, licorice, black currants
and cherries. This full-bodied, rich 2008 has put on weight since last year and shows
gorgeous texture and length. When all is said and done, I would not be surprised to
see this wine match the 2007 for quality.” Wine Advocate, rated 96-98/100
Chateau Montelena
2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate____________________________ 104.99
“A great wine in the making…Given this cuvee’s past history, this 2007 should age for
30+ years.” Wine Advocate, rated 94+/100
Morlet Family Vineyards
“One of northern California’s most talented wine producers is
Frenchman Luc Morlet, who is also a consultant at Peter Michael
Winery where his brother is firmly in charge. …His extraordinary
Cabernet Sauvignon portfolio include two offerings from Oakville
(which emerge from the Beckstoffer To-Kalon Vineyard) and one from Knight’s
Valley. The stunning 2008s are as good if not better than the Morlet 2007s.” Wine
Advocate
2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Coeur de Vallee_ _____________________ 174.99
2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Coeur de Vallee_ __________________ mag. 349.99
“The inky/purple-tinged 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Coeur de Vallee is a 250-case blend
of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon and 24% Cabernet Franc. It offers up complex notes of
unsmoked high class cigar tobacco, creme de cassis, subtle barbecue smoke, licorice
and pen ink. Full-bodied with outstanding texture, purity and length, this awesome
Cabernet Sauvignon can be enjoyed over the next 25-30 years.” Wine Advocate, rated
98/100
2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Mon Chevalier_______________________ 154.99
“…the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Mon Chevalier may be the finest wine I have ever
tasted from Knight’s Valley… With a voluptuous texture, tremendous opulence, sensational
purity and depth, this 2008 is slightly more evolved than the two Oakville
offerings. Brilliant winemaking and meticulous attention to detail in the vineyard and
winery have resulted in a prodigious effort. Drink it over the next 15-20 years.” Wine
Advocate, rated 95/100
2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Passionnément_ _____________________ 224.99
2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Passionnément_ __________________ mag. 449.99
“The exquisite 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Passionnement, my favorite of this trio, is a
250-case cuvee of 100% Cabernet Sauvignon.…The wine possesses terrific concentration,
full-bodied power and a stunning, multidimensional mouthfeel and finish. This
exceptional wine should drink well for 30+ years.” Wine Advocate, rated 98/100
Hilliard Bruce
Hilliard Bruce Vineyards is located on the western border of the Sta.
Rita Hills AVA. Owners John Hilliard and Christine Bruce, both
certified master gardeners, planted the vineyards in 2004. The 101-
acre estate consists of 21 acres of sustainably farmed Pinot Noir and
Chardonnay. The inaugural release is the 2008 Hilliard Bruce
“Moon” Pinot Noir with only 178 cases produced. The wines are expertly crafted by
renowned consulting winemaker Paul Lato.
2008 Moon Pinot Noir Santa Rita Hills________________________ 79.99
“A heady, seductively perfumed bouquet displays red and dark berries, potpourri and
spicy oak, with notes of minerals and musky herbs adding complexity. Smooth, fleshy
raspberry and cherry-cola flavors pick up an exotic Asian spice quality in the mid-palate
and are very sharply defined. Fine-grained tannins add grip to the long, sappy,
subtly smoky finish. Paul Lato is the consulting winemaker here.” Steve Tanzer, rated
92/100
Leonetti Cellars
2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Walla Walla Valley_ ________________ 87.99
Winemaker’s Notes: The nose on the Cabernet Sauvignon captures
what makes this one of the world’s finest wine grapes---it is an
exotic array of spices, dried herbs, lavender, charcuterie, mocha,
cassis, vanilla, and ripe red and black fruits. In the very distant background
there is a lovely note of mint. The wine has incredible density.
The finish is ultra long and pleasant. This wine is distinctively Walla Walla and
why our valley is becoming an international focal point for Cabernet.
2009 Merlot Walla Walla Valley_ ________________________ 72.99
Winemaker’s Notes: The warm 2009 vintage produced a very fine and generous
Merlot. It is already drinking gorgeously. The wine has a stunning bouquet of berries,
fresh blooming flowers, cedar shavings, and mocha. On the palate, it is incredibly
long, lush, and soft, with pure fruit and melted caramel. This is a truly hedonistic
Merlot and a fine example of why I love making this varietal.
2008 Sangiovese Walla Walla Valley______________________ 62.99
Winemaker’s Notes: The nose exhibits a gorgeous potpourri of flowers, thyme, and
crushed raspberries. On the palate, the wine is remarkably fresh and clean with
notable levity and lightness of being, all while retaining surprising intensity and
density. I simply love the unique way that Sangiovese can achieve this! Sangiovese is
our most challenging grape to farm---my favorite, and this is why!
2008 Reserve Walla Valley_ ___________________________ 159.99
Winemaker’s Notes: Impossibly complex, mysterious nose that reveals itself over
time. A bigger wine than the cab, it is tight as a drum as I write this, but continues
to open beautifully even a week after uncorking! This is a wine of immediate gratification,
yet it possesses amazing aging potential. I really feel this wine will stand
proudly next to the world’s finest Bordeaux upon release, but especially in 10-15
years---if you can keep your hands off of it! Leonetti Reserve is our finest effort. It is
crafted from our finest blends, finest barrels, and finest vineyards.
Orin Swift
2009 Machete_ __________________________________ 39.99
Machete, like Abstract, is born out of the wine Dave has been enjoying
in the Pyrénées-Orientales of the south of France. This blend is
similar to Abstract, however, there is more influence on the Petite
Sirah portion giving this wine the “big brother” status. Machete is a limited production
coming from some of our favorite vineyards in Napa, Sonoma, and Mendocino
including Dark Horse, Durell, Eagle Point, Fulton, Hudson, Las Madres, and Stones
Throw. Low yields and small berries contribute to the concentration and dark inky
color.
Beautiful notes of just picked warm, ripe blackberry with licorice and cedar box on
the nose. The wine is structured and complex, saturated with smoky, dark, ripe
brambly black fruit. It is bright and brooding, rich and powerful showcasing the
intensity of Petite Sirah, the elegance and complexity of Grenache with the seriousness
of cool climate Syrah.
49% Petite Sirah, 30% Grenache, 21% Syrah
45% Napa, 35% Sonoma, 20% Mendocino
15.2% Alc./Vol.
Aged 12 months; 48% French Oak, 52% American Oak, 50% New barrels

Tamarack Cellars
Firehouse Red
Columbia Valley
amarack’s Ron Coleman excels in the art of
“Tblending, merging subtly disparate sources of
red grapes into coherent, not to say irresistible, blends.
They typify Washington’s best attributes: flavor ripeness
supported by a firm, finely wrought structure.
Coleman’s gift is evident in his Firehouse Red, a
kitchen-sink blend of more than a half-dozen varieties
that’s sourced across five appellations and more than a
dozen vineyards. It’s one of our favorite bang-for-the-buck wines from
Washington State.” Wine & Spirits
“Supple and open-textured, brimming with gorgeous plum and currant
character that lingers enticingly on the deftly balanced finish. Cabernet
Sauvignon, Syrah, Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Malbec, Sangiovese, Petit
Verdot and Carmenère. Drink now through 2013.” Wine Spectator, rated

Tokaji Aszu—Aszu is the term for grapes infected with noble rot.
Destalked hand-picked Aszu grapes are stored 6-8 days, then
kneaded to a pulp which is added to base Tokay wine, or to must,
by the puttonyo (hod of 20-25 kilos). The eventual sweetness
depends on the n umber of puttonyos added to the 136-140 litre
barrels (called Gorci) of one-year-old base wine - usually 3,4 and 5
puttonyos. 6 is exceptional.
Tokaji Aszu Essencia—Only individually hand-selected Aszu
grapes. Only produced in exceptional years from the best vineyards.
Tokaji Aszu Essence—Destalked hand-picked Aszu grapes. While
grapes are being stored (see Tokay Aszu) the pressure of their own
weight the tub (one puttonyo yields only 142 millimeters of this
Essence). The juice is then allowed to ferment extremely slowly for
many years in oak casks

Foxglove
Chardonnay Central Coast
Perfection Three Years Running
& Under $20!
Foxglove Chardonnay, the exceptional value from the minds
behind Varner Estates, is clearly Robert Parker of the Wine
Advocate’s most consistent ‘Value’ Chardonnay in the whole of
California!
Featured in a recent list of ‘Value’ wines in the August 2010
issue of the Wine Advocate and also featured in his latest book,
Parker’s Bargains, Robert Parker has been signing the praise of
Foxglove Chardonnay. But it just has not been the past 12 months
it has been the past three years! For three years in a row, Foxglove
Chardonnay has scored 90 points or greater with Robert Parker
receiving glowing commentary each time!
“This terrific portfolio of values is led by Foxglove’s
remarkable 2009 Chardonnay, a non-oaked, stainless steel-fermented
and aged white that sees no malolactic fermentation.
Moreover, there are 30,000 cases of this beauty, a blend of twothirds
Santa Barbara County fruit and the rest from Paso Robles
and further north in Monterey. It exhibits crisp honeyed lemon,
citrus, poached pear, and honeysuckle notes intermixed with a
hint of pineapple. However, it is the zesty acidity, stunning
purity, and delightful balance this naked Chardonnay possesses
that make it so appealing. Enjoy it over the next year.

2008 Cabernet Sauvignon
Walla Walla Valley
Seductive color saturation to the rim.
The nose on the Cabernet Sauvignon
captures what makes this one of the
world’s finest wine grapes — it is an
exotic array of spices, dried herbs, lavender,
charcuterie, mocha, cassis, vanilla,
and ripe red and black fruits. In the very
distant background there is a lovely note
of mint. The wine has incredible density,
with very ripe tannin that is suave on the
palate. The finish is ultra long and pleasant.
This wine is distinctively Walla
Walla and why our valley is becoming an
international focal point for Cabernet.

2009 Merlot
Walla Walla Valley
Beautiful dark color: The warm 2009
vintage produced a very fine and generous
Merlot. It is already drinking
gorgeously. The wine has a stunning
bouquet of berries, fresh blooming flowers,
cedar shavings, and mocha. On the
palate, it is incredibly long, lush, and soft,
with pure fruit and melted caramel. This
is a truly hedonistic Merlot and a fine
example of why I love making this varietal.

Beautiful, dark red color: The nose
exhibits a gorgeous potpourri of flowers,
thyme, and crushed raspberries. On the
palate, the wine is remarkably fresh and
clean with notable levity and lightness
of being, all while retaining surprising
intensity and density. I simply love the
unique way that Sangiovese can achieve
this! The tannin is wonderfully finegrained
and the acid matches perfectly.
Sangiovese is our most challenging
grape to farm—my favorite, and this is
why!

2008 Reserve
Walla Walla Valley
Impossibly complex, mysterious nose
that reveals itself over time. Cassis
liqueur and floral notes open to a bowl
of fresh crushed ripe fruit sprinkled
with cinnamon and notes of cedar and
coffee. It is tight as a drum, but continues
to open beautifully even a week
after uncorking! This is a wine of immediate
gratification, yet it possesses amazing
aging potential. In the mouth, the
wine is loaded with dense ripe fruit,
long and balanced, with tannin and
acid in perfect harmony. I really feel
this wine will stand proudly next to the
world’s finest Bordeauxs upon release,
but especially in 10-15 years

Niepoort’s story begins in 1842 when Dutchman Eduard Kebe established
the firm in the famed Douro winemaking region of Portugal.
When he passed away in 1848, the business was left in the capable hands of
his business partner, F. M. Van der Niepoort. Over 150 years later as the
5th generation to do so, Dirk Niepoort continues to make fortified wines
using the same methods as his ancestors.
Dirk is a true Renaissance man, effortlessly embracing the history and tradition
of Port while also leading the way as one of its most innovative and
creative winemakers. This could be celebrated in no better way than by the
unrivaled collection of Colheitas released from Niepoort’s cellars as well as
by the groundbreaking, still table wines he has created from forgotten old
vines. Dirk is crafting some of the most exciting new wines not only of
Portugal, but all of Europe. From 80+ year old vines of Tinta Amarela and
Touriga Francesa that produce only 1/2 ton per acre in many vintages, the
Redoma embodies the heritage and inherent wealth of Portugal’s vineyards
and the innovative, passionate skills of Dirk Niepoort. These exciting new
wines are born from the same pioneering attitude of Dirk’s predecessors that
bestowed Niepoort with one of the most exhilarating and expensive cellars
of Colheita ever amassed.

2004 Il Poggione
Brunello di
Montalcino Riserva
Vigna Paganelli
ather and son team Fabrizio and Alessandro
“FBindocci are on a roll. Il Poggione remains a benchmark
property for fine, traditionally made Brunellos
capable of ageing exquisitely. I can’t think of too many
properties in the world producing wines of this level at
these prices with an established track record going back
40+ years… The 2004 Brunello di
Montalcino Riserva Vigna Paganelli
emerges from the glass with masses of
scorched earth, leather, tar, licorice,
menthol and dark fruit. The Riserva
shows a touch more inner sweetness,
richness and depth in its fruit than the
regular bottling, plus a bit more French
oak as well. For now, the Riserva is
quite reticent and requires air, but
with time its awesome richness
and power come through in
spades. This dark, brooding and
authoritative Riserva from Il
Poggione is simply gorgeous.
Readers who don’t want to pay
the premium for the Riserva in
2004 need not worry; I tasted
the 2004 regular bottling (twice!)
while preparing this article and
it is every bit as promising as my
review last year suggested. In
2004 the Paganelli vineyard was
harvested on the 13th of
October, quite late for this estate.
Anticipated maturity: 2019-

y recent trip to Oregon’s Willamette Valley provided first-hand
“Mconfirmation that the 2008 vintage has produced a bevy of excellent
Pinot Noirs that will appeal both to patient collectors and to those
who can’t keep their hands off young, exuberantly fruity wines… nearperfect
conditions ultimately allowed for harvesting to occur at a relatively
leisurely place, under cool, dry condition. Producers were able to
pick with unusual precision and vinify smaller lots… bottom line, as far
as what is—or should be—in the bottle is complex and energetic wines
without roasted character which is exactly what most Pinot lovers crave…
Compared to the prices commanded by most upper-tier producers in
California, many of the best 2008 Oregon Pinots are going to look like
relative bargains… ” Josh Raynolds, Steve Tanzer’s International Wine
Review
“In the 2008s, you’ve got the best vintage Oregon has ever produced, the
kind of vintage Oregon winemakers always hoped they could produce.”
Wine Spectator
“… What appears to be a top vintage 2008, waiting in barrel.” Wine
Advocate
“It means that you want the just-now-appearing 2008 vintage Oregon
Pinot Noirs. (It’s very possibly Oregon’s best across-the-board Pinot
vintage in decades, thanks to unusually low yields and perfect fall
weather, as well as increased winemaking skill.)” Matt Kramer,
Wine Spectator
“The 2008 vintage in Oregon has been highly touted with some
vintners claiming it is the best vintage for Oregon Pinot Noir in

Ron Junge, Christian Moueix, proprietor
he California outpost of the Moueix family (in this case
“Twinemaker and manager of Château Petrus and other
luminary estates in Pomerol and St.-Emilion, Christian
Moueix), Dominus is celebrating nearly twenty years in Napa
Valley. Christian Moueix has to be pleased with what he has
achieved. First of all, he owns one of northern California’s
historic vineyards. Even wines from vintages about which he
is less than enthusiastic (1983 through 1989) have brilliantly
stood the test of time, and show no signs of following apart.
His greatest wines to date have been the colossal 1991 and 1994, but he has hit the
bull’s eye with an extraordinary 2002 and impressive 2003. And, let’s not forget the
muscular, high octane 2001.
These wines are singular in character, tasting incredibly French-like, especially
when inserted in a tasting with other wines from Napa Valley. It’s a notable achievement
to produce a wine with such complexity and Bordeaux-like character. These
are natural wines all dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon with tiny portions of
Cabernet Franc, Merlot, and Petit Verdot, although the winery seems to be losing
patience with Merlot as they are replanting virtually all of their Merlot with old
Inglenook clones of Cabernet Sauvignon, which they feel perform better in the
Napa soils and micro-climates. One of the other changes instituted at Dominus
began in 2001 when they moved to the traditional basket press.” Wine Advocate

Pierre Morlet Champagne
After four generations, Champagne Pierre Morlet et Fils has become
synonymous in France for authentic and handcrafted Champagnes.
Now, wine connoisseurs around the world are discovering the unique harmony
of Pierre Morlet Champagne.
N/V Grande Reserve_________________________ 39.99
74% Pinot Noir 26% Chardonnay
The Grande Réserve blend is modeled after the classic
base of the Cuvée Suivie, also representing all of the
Morlet family’s terroirs of Premiers Crus Avenay-Vald’Or,
Bisseuil and Mutigny and of Grand Cru Aÿ.
Partially fermented in French oak “Demi-Muids” barrels
– a rarity in Champagne – the Grande Réserve also aged
one additional year in the deep caves. More mature flavors and aromas characterized
the Grande Réserve which has built the Pierre Morlet reputation.
N/V Grande Reserve Rosé______________________ 44.99
100% Pinot Noir
Obtained by the “Saigneé” technique, the “Rosé Grande Réserve”
is exclusively comprised of Pinot Noir. Its intense yet delicate
bouquet is dominantly fruity (raspberry, wild strawberries, blackberries)
intermixed with notes of limestone and hazelnut. Fullbodied
and elegant, “Rosé Grande Réserve” displays flavors of
fresh raspberries and pomegranate and a long finish with mineral
notes and a hint of Kirsch. This Rosé Champagne will age gracefully
for a decade.
2002 Millesime____________________________ 54.99
60% Pinot Noir 40% Chardonnay
The Morlet family only selects the best years to produce
their vintage Champagnes. Each of them
is the result of a judicious blend made
out of some of the different family’s
terroirs and representing the characteristics
of a particular year. Therefore the
proportions of both varietals as well as
of the vineyard parcels can vary from one vintage to another.
Each Pierre Morlet Champagne Millesime reflects the originality
that nature gave us in an exceptional year.
With a great ageing potential, vintage Champagnes represents
the ‘Nec plus Ultra’ of the Morlet’s terroirs, expertise
and passion. They are the ultimate choice of the finest
wine connoisseurs.

“Each of these cuvées is produced in very small quantities so readers will want to act
quickly and get on Grand Rêves mailing list.” Wine Advocate
Founded in 2004 by entrepeneur Paul McBride and vineyard manager Ryan
Johnson, Grand Reve introduces a new collaborative approach to winemaking in
Washington State. Ryan Johnson has been growing wine grapes on Red Mountain
for 11 vintages and is the vineyard manager for Ciel du Cheval, Cadence Cara Mia,
Quilceda Galitzine Estate, and DeLille Grand Ciel vineyards, all located within
Washington’s famed Red Mountain AVA.
By utilizing several of Washington State’s most accomplished winemakers: each with
prowess in different winemaking styles, combined with their finest cultivated fruit,
they achieve world-class quality across multiple varietals. This effort is called the
Grand Rêve Collaboration Series, and its all-star cast includes Ben Smith
(Collaboration I), Ross Mickel (Collaboration II), Mark McNeilly (Collaboratin III),
Carolyn Lakewold (Collaboration IV), Chris Gorman (Collaboration V), and James
Mantone (Collaboration VI).
“We intend to show how uncompromising attention to detail, progressive viticulture
practices, deep experience, care and passion in the vineyard can yield profound wines
of finesse, balance and character,” explains Johnson.

Zeltinger Himmelreich
Riesling Kabinett
t the lightest end of his green-capsule feinherb line-up,
“AMolitor’s 2008 Zeltinger Himmelreich Riesling Kabinett is
gorgeously and exuberantly scented with apple and cherry blossoms,
citrus oils, and herbs. If you’ve ever heard Mosel Riesling
compared with springtime and wondered about that analogy, just
smell this! Refreshingly apply, yet creamy and liquidly floral, it also
harbors a saline savor akin to shrimp shell reduction; rich nut oils
reminiscent of Riesling from the Sonnenuhr; and an ultimate lick
of wet stone to accompany its saliva-inducing salinity and exhilaratingly
fresh fruit. As amazed as I am at the quality here, Molitor
insists part of the reason this shows so well is simply that it was one
of his few wines to have been bottled already in spring. (It also was
raised largely in tank.) I have to believe this can be savored for
15-20 years, during which it will shed what is already subtle
sweetness, but quite possibly take on additional complexity.”

Plummy dark fruit leads to sweet herbs, spices,

The Vineyard Spring 2011
The Vineyard Spring 2011
Burgundy’s
Grande Dame
Rare, Irreplaceable
Vintage Madeira
Madame Bize Leroy, Proprietor & Winemaker
No name enlivens and ignites a discussion of Burgundy as quickly as Lalou Bize-Leroy.
She is unrelenting in every aspect, from personality to charm and quality to the very
wine in the bottle. The Leroy family’s 50% ownership of Domaine Romanée-Conti gave
Madame Leroy ample ability to amass the deepest and most revered cellar in Burgundy over
the last 60+ years. Speculation is rampant about its size and holdings. Guesses range from
1.5 to 2.5 million bottles. Only one person knows for sure. With an astute (and legendary)
palate and relentless standards, she hunts out some of the most surprising and thrilling parcels
each vintage, and never fails to impress with her depth and understanding of the most
hidden corners of Burgundy’s terroir.
Madeira is one of the world’s legendary wines, not only for its uninterrupted
production, dating back to the 15th century, but also because it is the longest
lived wine category, with unique flavors and aromatics persisting in wines that
can date back 200 years or more.

Madeira Styles
• Sercial: Made from the Sercial grape. Often high tone, nutty, with lots of character. Dry wine.
• Verdelho: Medium to dry from the Verdelho grape. Smoky complexity with tang of acidity.
• Bual: Dark medium-rich, raisiny made from the Bual grape. Retains acidity with age.
• Malmsey: From the Malvasia Candida and Malvasia Babos grapes. Very sweet. Big levels of
acidity. Gains richness with age.
’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, continuity and
“I consistency are the keys to Cristom’s success. The
winemaking team led by Steve Doerner rose to the occasion,
taking full advantage of the great raw materials
provided by the 2008 vintage…The red wines begin with
the entry-level 2008 Pinot Noir Mt. Jefferson Cuvée
which includes some purchased fruit. Dark ruby red, it
offers up aromas of rose petal, spice box, incense, cherry,
and raspberry. On the palate it displays medium body,
sweet fruit, plenty of spice, and enough ripe tannin to evolve for 1-2 years. However,
it can be approached now and over the next 6-8 years.” Wine Advocate, rated
90/100
“Smoky redcurrant and cherry aromas are complicated by dried rose and spicecake.
Deeper dark berry flavors are firmed by silky tannins and become sweeter with air.
Shows very good power on the focused dark berry-flavored finish. This is the best
version of this bottling I can recall. Winemaker Steve Doerner told me that he used
50% whole clusters across the board in 2008.” Steve Tanzer, rated 90/100

“Griffins Lair is in the Petaluma Wind Gap, a southwest-facing slope planted on
coarse gravel and rock. The conditions restrain the young vines (‘02 was the first
vintage), bypassing the clumsy vigor new plantings often express and creating a
youthful brilliance instead. The structure is racy, opening up as the scent of the wine
grows more compelling with each sip. It has the crush of black pepper intersecting
with the saltiness of cured meat, or more directly, the saltiness of coastal air. Enjoy
this bottle over the course of several days to catch the evolution it may parallel in
the cellar.” Wine & Spirits, rated 95/100

“The 2007 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Réservée, tasted from multiple
foudres, stylistically, looks to be a hypothetical blend of the 2003 and 1990.
The 2007 is full-bodied and powerful, with high tannins, high extract, and
tremendous color, stuffing, and richness…Dense, rich, more structured
than the 2003, sumptuous, and deep (in the style of the 1990), it should

2006 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Réservée_______________ 99.99
“The 2006 exhibits gamy, meaty, new saddle leather, kirsch liqueur, black

deep, and long. One foudre, which may become a Cuvee Laurence, appears

Cuvee Réservée. …Meaty, full-bodied, stunningly concentrated and pure,
and in need of 4-5 years of cellaring, it promises to be one of the longest -
lived wines of the vintage, lasting for a minimum of two decades.” Wine

“The dark plum/garnet-tinged 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Laurence
boasts sweet lavender, Provencal herb, cassis, and black cherry aromas. In
the mouth, it is full-bodied with superb fruit concentration as well as
Provencal typicity.” Wine Advocate, rated 93/100

orange coffee, brick dust, macerated currant fruit, warm fig and hoisin
sauce notes.” Wine Spectator, rated 95/100

Chateau Le Conseiller
Chateau Le Conseiller was purchased in 1996 by the young Jean-Philippe
Janoueix (Le Croix Saint-Georges, La Confession & Chabrun). With its
exceptional soils, and the vision of the young winemaker, this estate has
brought a new level of quality and creativity to the area.
“A top-notch effort from Jean-Philippe Janoueix, this blend of 90% Merlot
and 10% Cabernet Franc is a sleeper of the vintage. Its deep ruby/purple color
is accompanied by sweet blackberry and black currant fruit, licorice, earth,
and camphor notes, a fleshy, succulent mid-palate, and a ripe finish. A very
good wine from a humble appellation, qualitatively it transcends it pedigree.
Excellent value.” Wine Advocate

“The 2005 Barolo Ciabot Mentin Ginestra emerges from the glass with endless layers
of sweet spices, menthol, violets and dark fruit on a powerful, authoritative
frame. This is a beautifully defined, sculpted wine of the very highest level. Tar,
smoke and licorice linger on the finish. The tannins are massive at this stage, and
the wine needs time, but the 2005 is undoubtedly one of the stars of the vintage.

“This deeply scented, layered Barolo possesses a striking bouquet

that is hard to fully capture in words. The tannins are, as usual,
quite broad but they are also remarkably fine. In 2005 the Pajana
shows breathtaking balance and harmony with a long, sensual
finish. This is a superb effort from Domenico Clerico, and his team led by the

“The 2005 Barolo Bric del Fiasc is a huge, muscular wine. In 2005 the wine shows
a decidedly fruit-driven, fresh style. The purity of fruit here is remarkable. The dark,
brooding quality that is often present in the wine is absent, while floral, perfumed

superb length and classy balance. Floral notes develop in the glass, adding further

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

Robert Talbott Vineyards
Chardonnay
Logan
The 2008 Chardonnay Logan (a selection from the Sleepy Hollow
Vineyard) is a slightly fruitier, more structured style of Chardonnay
from Talbott. Light straw-colored, the wine displays notes of
nectarine, kiwi, orange marmalade, honey, and subtle oak.
Cutting a broad swath across the palate, it is full-bodied,
rich, and impressively endowed. It is the best Talbott
Chardonnay in a number of years.

with a few years of patience and age well. This boasts seriously good potential.” Steve

are at once delicate and strong. Finishes quite suave, and not at all austere for a wine
that’s built to age. Lovely balance here.” Steve Tanzer, rated 92/100

rising finish. In its infancy today.” Steve Tanzer, rated 93/100
“… precise and intensely stony flavors that finish
bone dry and with a vaguely saline quality on the

he beautiful Quinta do Noval is undoubtedly the most
“Tfamous port producer, largely because its 1931 and 1927
were to vintage port what the 1947 Cheval Blanc and 1945
Mouton-Rothschild were to the Bordeaux trade—divine, monumental
wines of extraordinary depth of flavor. Also, the Quinta do
Noval produces a rare vintage port from a small vineyard of ungrafted,
prephylloxera vines called Nacional. It is so rare that I have
never seen, much less tasted, a bottle of what is supposedly a great
port.” Wine Advocate

“The 2008 Pinot Noir Estate was also fermented with native yeasts and spent 18 months in 20% new
barrels. It gives up a splendid bouquet of smoke, Asian spices, incense, black cherry, and black raspberry
leading to a rich, loaded, layered Pinot with superb volume, intensity, and length. It will reward 2-3 years
of cellaring and will offer a drinking window extending from 2013 to 2023. Paul De Lancellotti’s 17.5
acres of vineyard is fully planted out and biodynamically certified.” Wine Advocate, rated 93/100
“Sexy bouquet of raspberry, cherry-cola and potpourri, with subtle woodsmoke and anise qualities in the
background. A juicy, spicy midweight that offers sweet red and dark berry flavors and a zesty mineral
spine. Darker fruits come up on the finish, which lingers with impressive juicy persistence. Very attractive
right now but has the balance to reward another four to six years of bottle aging, at a minimum.” Steve
Tanzer, rated 92/100
“Complex aromas of dried lavender and rose petals, fresh garden soil, and sweet dark red fruits are a
little tough to parse at first because of the appealing unity of the whole, but with time each element begins
to show its own character in the nose. Equally involved in the mouth, flavors of ripe cranberry, plum red
cherry, and strawberry give a satisfying sense of fruit-sweetness, yet more spice and earth notes of mushroom,
forest floor, and celery seed underlie the fruit with a more earthy essence. Great acidity and subtle
tannins give balance. The finish is fresh, and intriguing notes of tangerine peel provide a pleasing sense
of lift to the whole. This is a bright and fresh Pinot Noir that could be paired with pancetta-wrapped
chicken, or saved in the cellar for future enjoyment.” Northwest Palate, rated Stellar Selection, Three

his is the model estate for a family-owned vineyard—a great family, a great
“Tdomaine, a great terroir, and great wines. While the father and son, as well as
the other 500 years or so of Chaves who have made wines from the hallowed hills of
Hermitage, may be world-class tasters, superb chefs, and gifted storytellers, the fact
remains that Gérard Chave and, increasingly, his talented young son, Jean-Louis, are
among the staunchest guardians of terroir, and artisanal/artistic winemaking in
France. The humility with which they go about their business (mere custodians of
privileged spots on Earth is how they look at it) is refreshing, particularly in a world
dominated by greed and an industrial wine culture. They make exquisite red and
white Hermitage as well as small amounts of St. Joseph. In the finest vintages, Chave
produces tiny amounts of a super-expensive luxury cuvée called Chatelin.” Wine

Claret Horse
Heaven Hills
One of the most consistent and classic wines in the Northwest each year
is Dr. Joe Gunselman’s affordable assemblage. Cabernet Sauvignon,
Merlot, Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot and Malbec impart black cherries and
smoky coffee, cedar and bittersweet chocolate. It’s an easy drinker with those
cherries and pomegranate, which gives it lots of acidity. The wealth of oak
and fine-grained tannins lends its opulence.
The 2008 Claret continues the winery’s tradition of excellence with
this well-structured blend of five red varietals.

Joh. Jos. Prum
Weingut Joh. Jos. Prüm was founded in 1911 by Johann Josef
Prüm. Today it is owned and managed by Dr. Manfred Prüm
and his daughter Dr. Katharina Prüm. They focus solely on Riesling
from famous sites like Wehlener Sonnenuhr, Graacher Himmelreich,
Zeltinger Sonnenuhr and Bernkasteler Badstube. They are currently
one of only nine wine estates in Germany ranked five stars by Gault
Millau, which is the European wine world’s equivalent to the Michelin
guide. Their Rieslings are renowned for their ageing potential and are
sought after by collectors.
A remarkably cold winter led to a rather late awakening of nature. But suddenly, summerlike temperatures in April made for a growth spurt,
causing budbreak about two weeks earlier than usual. While June and July brought a good amount of rain, August and September were very
dry and sunny. Despite a bit of rain in early October, this month brought above-average sunshine and moderate temperatures. This is a fantastic
pre-condition for harvest, which started on October 15 and finished on November 13. The grapes had reached an excellent ripeness with very expressive aromas and
flavors, while also keeping a good acidity. Additionally, some botrytis-affected grapes were selected for the production of Goldcapsules, BA and even TBA. The yields were
overall lower than the long-term average.

2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Cherokee Lane______________________ 9.97
The wine is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon and was sourced from a single sustainably
farmed vineyard in Lodi which is located near Sacramento. The 2008 Cabernet
Sauvignon “Cherokee Lane” is loaded with aromas and flavors of red and black
cherries supported by vanilla and cedar nuances. It is beautifully balanced with both
fruit and tannins. An ideal pairing with grilled meats, sausages or stews.
2009 Zinfandel The Chelonian_ ___________________________ 9.97
No other variety represents the region of Lodi like Zinfandel. Over 100 years ago
European settlers believed it to be the best fit for the climate and soils, and their keen
insight paid off. The 2008 Zinfandel “The Chelonian” is 100% Zinfandel and has a
lovely spicy, cherry like bouquet and is bursting with sweet, berry flavors. There are
also delicious overtones of blackcurrant and plums, with a welcoming finish of
vanilla and cinnamon toast. The wine is also very elegant and would be perfect with
any spicy foods, game or beef.
2009 Sauvignon Blanc Cuvée Jeanne_ _______________________ 9.97
The 2009 Sauvignon Blanc “Cuvee Jeanne” is beautifully balanced and aromatic
with suggestions of passion fruit and grapefruit. The palate is crisp and dry but not
too acidic with a good depth of flavor. The wine is perfect as an aperitif or with
chicken, fish or creamy pasta dishes.
2009 Chardonnay Jam’s Blend____________________________ 9.97
The 2009 “Jam’s Blend” Chardonnay boasts bright, fresh aromas and flavors of citrus,
pear, apple and white flowers. Its creamy texture is supported by fresh acidity
and a long, clean finish. Ideal as an aperitif or with poultry, salads, cream based
pastas and softer cheeses.

Chardonnay Wolff Vineyard
“Best Chardonnay Under $20!” Food & Wine Magazine
Jean-Pierre Wolff farms 55 acres of Chardonnay in Edna Valley’s oldest vineyard.
A combination of cool weather and drought reduced the chardonnay crop to a
mere 1.5 tons per acre, an historic low. Because the clusters were so small and infrequent,
the grapes matured unusually early so the harvest finished before the end of
September for the first time in twenty three years.
What does this all mean Great concentration in the nose of citrus, guava, mint with
a complexing note of ocean air. Full and rich yet with restraint and finesse on the
palate, this Chardonnay offers green apple, ripe pear and, once again, an ocean
nuance. (This vineyard is within a rifle shot of the Pacific Ocean.) With low yields
comes higher expression of terroir.

2009 Pinot Noir Chimera Vineyard__________________________ 29.99
“Another intriguing offering is the 2009 Pinot Noir Chimera.…The lacy, elegant
Chimera possesses a fragrant bouquet of spring flowers intermixed with red and blue
fruits as well as mossy underbrush characteristics, a round, generous mouthfeel and
sweet, silky tannins. Already delicious as well as complex, it can be enjoyed over the
next 2-3 years.” Wine Advocate, rated 91/100
2008 Pinot Noir Chimera Vineyard__________________________ 29.99
“More beet root, black currant, plum, and cherry characteristics are found in the
2008 Pinot Noir Chimera Vineyard. With an attractive smoky earthiness, abundant
fruit, full body, and good richness, it should provide pleasant drinking over the next
4-5 years.” Wine Advocate, rated 92/100
“Aromas of pomegranate, raspberry, coffee, pungent herbs and spices, plus a distinctly
cool eucalyptus component that owner/winemaker Sean Capiaux says comes
from one of his vineyard sources, which made up a larger portion of this blend than
in the past. Offers a silky texture and good breadth, with juicy acidity providing
shape and lift.” Steve Tanzer
2009 Pinot Noir Gary’s Vineyard___________________________ 39.99
“Aged in 50% new French oak, the 2009 Pinot Noir Garys’ Vineyard is another
textbook example of this wonderful sector of the Santa Lucia Highlands. Sweet black
currant and black raspberry fruit aromas intermixed with notions of licorice and
earth jump from the glass of this full-bodied, voluptuously textured, long, rich Pinot
Noir. Already drinking beautifully, it should continue to evolve for 4-5 years.” Wine
Advocate, rated 94/100
2008 Pinot Noir Pisoni Vineyard_ __________________________ 44.99
“Deep red-ruby, the darkest of the range. Aromas of black raspberry, minerals,
licorice, violet and underbrush, with a menthol nuance. Dense and thick on entry,
then powerful and full in the middle…A big, full, flavorful wine that finishes with
broad, nicely buffered tannins…this is a major mouthful of California Pinot Nor.”
Steve Tanzer, rated 93/100
2009 Pinot Noir Widdoes Vineyard__________________________ 39.99
“Another beauty, the 2009 Pinot Noir Widdoes Vineyard includes about 10% stems
and was aged in 40% new French oak. It exhibits beautiful sweet strawberry, red and
black currant fruit as well as notions of earth, underbrush and subtle oak. Round,
generous, full-bodied, luscious and silky textured, this 2009 is already irresistible and
should last for 4-5 years.” Wine Advocate, rated 93/100
2008 Pinot Noir Widdoes Vineyard__________________________ 39.99
“The most restrained wine of this group is the 2008 Pinot Noir Widdoes Vineyard.
Playing it closer to the vest than its 2007 counterpart, the 2008 exhibits abundant
wild strawberry and berry fruit intermixed with notions of cola and damp earth.
Medium to full-bodied with some tannin as well as a narrowly constructed, reserved
personality, it should open with another six months of bottle age, and drink nicely
for 4-5 years.” Wine Advocate, rated 90/100
“Good medium red. Wild red fruits, cherry-cola, underbrush, pepper and spices on
the nose and palate, lifted by a note of orange peel. Juicy, spicy and broad, with an
enticing sweetness and good clarity to the middle palate.” Steve Tanzer, rated
91/100
2008 Pinot Noir Wilson Vineyard___________________________ 39.99
“Good full red. Reticent nose hints at beef jerky. Sweet and fat…Finishes with full,
broad, slightly dusty tannins…” Steve Tanzer

Rusack
Chardonnay
Santa Barbara
The truly distinctive flavors from the
cool Northern and Western
extremes of Santa Barbara County come
together in this bottle. Here, our love of
blending has resulted in a marriage of
exceptional fruit aromas with carefully
balanced acidity, capturing the best qualities of the area.
Honeydew melon, Asian pear, orange blossom, as well as citrus
notes are highlighted in this appealingly crisp white wine.

2009 Chardonnay Washington_ _____________________ 34.99
2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley_ ______________ 39.99
“This is 88% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot and 4% Cabernet
Franc. Thick and dense, it’s a perfect companion to the winery’s
current release of Merlot, though they are a year apart in vintage.
This Cabernet has slight intimations of herb and black olive, and is
tightly focused with very dark cassis and plum fruit flavors. It’s a
wine to cellar, as it is still a little hot and tightly wound. Cellar
Selection.” Wine Enthusiast, rated 93/100
2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Columbia Valley_ ____________ mag. 99.99
2008 Merlot Columbia Valley_______________________ 34.99
“This 100% Merlot is sourced from Sagemoor Farms’ Bacchus and
Dionysus vineyards. For the first time, there is no Cabernet Franc in
the blend. Richly fruity, with loads of cherry, raspberry compote and
black currant flavors, this melds in grace notes of chocolate and
caramel, seamlessly. Thick and flat-out luscious, yet structured with
a tannic spine that gives definition and focus all the way through.
Editor’s Choice.” Wine Enthusiast, rated 95/100
John Abbot, winemaker
2009 Las Olas_ _____________________________________ 9.99
70% Verdejo and 30% Viura… stainless steel fermentation gives it
such a clean and vibrant feel. Pale yellow in color with intense fruit.
Light and agreeable with mineral notes and herbs. Serve it chilled
with crab meat appetizers, mussels, shrimp toast and also pairs nicely
with cold lobster salads, grilled chicken panninis and Cuban sandwiches.
2008 Casabayo_____________________________________ 10.99
100% Tempranillo… aromas of tobacco and blueberry/blackberry
fruit. Full-bodied, strong and sturdy with gobs of ripe fruit. Juicy
and structured with a long, satisfying finish. A perfect match with
filet mignon, beef stews, full-blown roasted turkey dinners and with
a good hard cheese and fresh California figs at the end of the
meal.
2008 Nolia ________________________________________ 9.99
This wine offers a good balance between fruity notes and a toasty
oak background from the barrel aging. The nuances of spices and
leather contribute to its complexity. The mocha and coffee notes
kick in on the back end as the dark cherry flavors become harmonious
and satisfying. The finish is velvety and elegant. A nice match
with manchego cheese (sheep) and izbores cheese (goat) and with
rigatoni Bolognese, chicken cassiatore or a medium rare standing rib roast. 100%
Garnacha.
2007 Sincero_______________________________________ 13.99
100% Tempranilla from Ribera del Duero’s highest elevation vineyards.
The nose reveals cedar, mineral, earth and black fruits. Rich
on the palate with red fruits and solid tannins. Powerful with superb
grip. Enjoy it with veal shanks smothered in mushroom gravy, rabbit, eye-of-round
roasts with a warm center and fresh chicken breasts pounded think, breaded and
sautéed in a light olive oil and then baked with mozzarella cheese on top and presented
with a good sauce.
2007 Núvol________________________________________ 11.99
100% Monastrell… Aged 6 months in French and American oak…
dark ruby in color. Exhibits aromas of earth, herbs, red berries and
toasty oak. Plums, cassis and chocolate flavors all show up towards
the end after a mid-palate delight of sweet cherries. Works well with
sirloin beef kabobs, mushroom infused risotto served with double
thick veal chops and center cut pork chops on-the-bone.
2007 Lasendal______________________________________ 12.99
85% Garnacha and 15% Syrah… nose of violets and blackberry
and blueberry fruit. Pure and expansive on the palate with dark
cherry flavors, licorice tones and red fruits with a gentle vanilla
quality throughout your glass. Serve it up with a perfectly grilled
t-bone steak, standing-rib roast, venison and sausage and peppers
in a rich, thick tomato based sauce.

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

Best Buys to Start the

Established in 1982 by Craig and Claudia Broadley, Broadley Vineyards is
a small, efficient winery capable of producing up to 5,000 cases of Pinot
Noir annually. The family’s fabled 1994 Claudia’s Choice put Broadley
Vineyards on the map, the Claudia’s Choice is a perennial favorite, and today
loyal followers clamor for the winemaker’s expression of each new vintage. A
barrel selection from the 2008 Broadley Estate Pinot Noir was recently named
one of the top ten 2008 Oregon Pinot Noirs by The New York Times.
2009 Pinot Noir Willamette Valley_ ________________________ 19.99

and enlivened by a peppery, spicy quality. The finish repeats the red fruitnote
and lingers with very good clarity and persistence.” Steve Tanzer, rated

2009 Pinot Noir Reserve______________________________ 32.99
2008 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard___________________________ 39.99
“My favorite of the portfolio is the 2008 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard produced
from a block planted to Dijon clone 777. Medium ruby red with a seductive
nose of Asian spices, incense, rose petal, sandalwood, black cherry, and black
raspberry, on the palate it is packed with spicy fruit buttressed by lively acidity
and enough structure to evolve for another 3-4 years. This outstanding effort will
be at its best from 2013 to 2023.” Wine Advocate, rated 92/100
“Sexy, highly perfumed bouquet of smoky black raspberry, potpourri, star anise
and incense. The most aromatic and expressive of this set of Pinots today, then
quite deep in red and dark berry flavor, with a note of bitter cherry adding midpalate
grip. A sexy oak note comes up with air and lingers on the long, sappy,
alluringly sweet finish. This suave wine will definitely reward patience but it
drinks very well right now.” Steve Tanzer, rated 93/100
2008 Pinot Noir Claudia’s Choice__________________________ 47.99
2007 Pinot Noir Claudia’s Choice__________________________ 39.99
“Fresh red fruit preserves, flowers and spices on the nose, with notes of sassafras
and anise coming up with air. Palate-staining raspberry and cherry flavors are
complicated by white pepper and succulent herbs, with dusty tannins adding
support. Sweeter, deeper dark berry qualities appear on the finish, which is wellfocused
and impressively persistent. Give this one a few more years of bottle
aging or an hour in a decanter.” Steve Tanzer, rated 90/100
2008 Pinot Noir Estate________________________________ 27.99
“… aged in 20% new oak for 11 months. It sports an enticing nose of cedar,
cinnamon, clove, incense, cherry, and raspberry leading to a round, smoothtextured,
easygoing Pinot with an elegant personality, good balance, and a fruitfilled
finish. This tasty effort is an outstanding value for drinking over the next
6-8 years.” Wine Advocate, rated 90/100

Emmanuel Rouget, Winemaker

Georges Jayer (Henri Jayer’s brother) owned a plot of Echezeaux that Hen ri
tended on his behalf. Although bottled under the label Domaine Georges Jayer,
the wine was solely produced by Henri, who made the wine through the 1995 vintage.
With the 1996 vintage, Emmanuel Rouget (Henri Jayer’s nephew) has taken
over tending the parcel and doing everything from pruning, picking, élévage and
bottling the Georges Jayer wine. Henri continued in an advisory role with Emmanuel
and tasted with him, but the actual making of the wines have been Emmanuel’s
responsibility since Henri’s retirement.
The label remained unchanged until 2001, when Georges Jayer passed away
and the vineyard went to his daughter, Claudette. With the 2002 vintage, Domaine
Georges Jayer Echezeaux label was modified to read “élevé et vinifé par E. Rouget.
Claudette Dulka, Propriétare a Vosne-Romanée.”
The Nuits-Saint-Georges comes from a parcel of aux Lavières, which
Emmanuel has taken care of since 1985.

Pure red fruit on the palate. Intense concentration and power, combined

adot technical director Jacques Lardiere and Chateau des Jacques director Guillaume de Castelnau – for more about whose distinctive aspirations and methodology (includ-
maturation in largely new barrels) please consult my report in issue 184 – have been blessed with a vintage that goes a long way toward validating their approach. All
“Jing
that’s missing, I suspect (granted that I tasted the wines before bottling), is to see how they live up to Lardiere and de Castelnau’s ambitions for age worthiness. Given the quality
offered here for the prices – which, frankly, I admire Jadot for having from the outset of this project set at levels that would make a statement, but which have since been
rounded down – anyone with an interest in Beaujolais; in the history of French wine; or in red wine value generally, ought to help make history by cellaring a sampling of these
amazing wines” Wine Advocate,
Guillaume de Castelnau, Managing
Director of Château des Jacques
Chateau des Jacques
2009 Chenas (Fall 2011 Arrival)________________________ 34.99
“Guillaume de Castelnau explains that his tiny lot of 2009 Chenas grew on the same
vein of quartzite as in La Rochelle (an historically renowned site classified as
Moulin-a-Vent) but one hillside removed (which also puts it cheek-by-jowl with
Piron’s noteworthy Chenas). This displays a lovely aromatic melange of blackberry,
cherry, and red currant with lily and heliotrope perfume, all of which follow on a
buoyant, salt-, underbrush-, and fruit pit-tinged palate. Despite my general reservations
about such analogies, there is some resemblance to red Burgundy in the wine’s
combination of inner-mouth florality and juicy brightness with a subtly creamy
texture. And make no mistake: if this exhilaratingly and profoundly persistent
Beaujolais were Burgundian Pinot, it would be top-notch premier cru! Expect it to
be a delight to follow for at least a half dozen years. “ Wine Advocate, rated 92-
93/100
2009 Moulin-A-Vent Clos du Grand Carquelin (Fall 2011 Arrival)______ 34.99
“Chateau des Jacques’s 2009 Moulin-a-Vent Clos du Grand Carquelin originates in
manganese- and iron-rich sandy soil of reputedly unusual diversity and complexity
for its appellation. Its confectionary cast of dark berries; vanilla and cinnamon
overlay; and richness of texture make for a striking contrast with the especially
bright, high-energy cast that prevailed in the renditions of 2007 and 2008.
Seamlessly long, it evinces saline and pungent suggestions of things mineral sufficient
to stimulate genuine intrigue, not to mention salivation. This should be worth
following for half a dozen or more years.” Wine Advocate, rated 91-92/100
2009 Moulin-A-Vent_ _________________________________ 24.99
“Chateau des Jacques’s 2009 Moulin-a-Vent smells of black and red raspberry, with
heliotrope and lily overtones. With a striking and surprising sense of seamless oilyrichness
to its sweetly, exuberantly berry-brimmed palate impression, this reveals
satisfying low-toned salted meat stock character that persists all the way through a
lingering, lip-smacking finish. I suspect this already exceptional value will gain
detail and finesse and be worth following for 4-6 years.” Wine Advocate, rated 91-

2009 Morgon Roche Noire (Fall 2011 Arrival)_ _______________ 34.99
“From a site named for its prominence of dark schist, Chateau des Jacques’s 2009
Morgon Roche Noire is deeply and sweetly fruited with red and black raspberry,
saline and berry seed notes serving for counterpoint and invigoration. Suggestions
of marrow-rich meat stock, chalk, and crushed stone add to the sense of depth and
there is a vibratory sense of energy and brightness to the wine’s long finish. Expect
this outstanding value to be worth following for 6 or more years.” Wine Advocate,

Solaia
Just to the east of Tignanello lies the remarkable 25-acre
vineyard known as Solaia, the “sunny one”. Widely considered
one of the best Cabernet blends in the world, Solaia is
produced only in exceptional vintages. Smoothly blending
the aromas of black pepper, coffee, chocolate, vanilla, and
plum, Solaia is strikingly elegant with nicely blended tannins
that support the sensation of sweetness and weight.
Hints of licorice and coffee return in the impressively long finish.
2007 Solaia
“The 2007 Solaia saturates the palate with a heady array of super-ripe black cherries,
plums, cassis, mocha and sweet French oak. There is an exotic quality to the
Solaia I find totally irresistible. Despite its considerable ripeness and opulence, the
2007 Solaia is never heavy, rather it impresses for its extraordinary finesse and
balance. Minerals, graphite and crushed rocks frame a long, seductive finish. This
Sauvignon, 20% Sangiovese and 5% Cabernet Franc, aged in 100% new oak.
Anticipated maturity: 2017-2027.” Wine Advocate, rated 97/100

Tignanello
Named after a choice vineyard on the property, Tignanello
was introduced in 1973, and set the standard for exceptional
Italian wine, pioneering a whole new category of luxury wines
known as “Super Tuscans”. Tignanello is the first Sangiovese
aged in small oak barrels: the first red wine in modern times to
use a non-traditional grape variety (Cabernet) in the blend; and
among the first red wines made in Chianti with no white grapes. Boasting an
intense ruby red color with light garnet hues. Tignanello offers complex and
harmonious aromas of tobacco, curry powder, blackberry and blackcurrant jam.
Silky on the palate, this wine has a light hint of sweet, nicely rounded tannins in
its persistent finish.
2007 Tignanello
“Highest Wine Advocate rated Tignanello Ever!
“This is as opulent a Tignanello as I have ever tasted but there is just enough acidity
and structure from the Sangiovese to keep things from going over the top. The wine’s
richness and warmth are such that in a blind tasting I mistook the 2007 Tignanello
for a wine from Maremma! The dense, muscular fruit follows through to an impeccable
finish with no hard edges and impossibly fine, silky tannins. Simply put, the
2007 is a magnificent Tignanello. The 2007 Tignanello is 80% Sangiovese aged in
300-liter French oak barrels (1/3 new), 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Cabernet
Franc, both aged in 100% new 225-liter French oak barriques. Anticipated maturity:
2012-2027.” Wine Advocate, rated 95/100

“Made from tiny yields of 18 hectoliters per hectare after a severe triage, Beaucastel’s
2008 Chateauneuf du Pape is a candidate for one of the top wines of the vintage.
While the normal production from their nearly 200 acres of vineyards can be as high
as 200,000 bottles, only 60,000 bottles were produced in 2008. It exhibits a deep
ruby/purple hue along with scents of creosote, licorice, smoked herbs, black currants,

It is somewhat of an outlier for the vintage.” Wine Advocate, rated 92-94/100

While still relatively exotic, everything is more buttoned down. However, the overall
impression is of a full-bodied, powerful, honeyed white wine with superb depth,
richness, and potential complexity. This beauty should be at its peak between 2010
and 2015.” Wine Advocate, rated 95/100

The follow-up novel to the blockbuster Sideways tracks the continuing story of
Miles Raymond and his buddy Jack. It’s seven years later. Miles has written
a novel that has been made into a wildly successful movie, and the movie has
changed his life. Jack, contrarily, is divorced, has a kid, and is on the skids.
Phyllis, Miles’s mom, has suffered a stroke that’s left her wheelchair-bound and
wasting away in assisted-living. She desperately wants to live with her sister in
Wisconsin. When Miles gets invited to be master of ceremonies at a Pinot Noir
festival in Oregon, he hatches a harebrained road trip. With Jack as his co-pilot,
he leases a handicapped-equipped rampvan, hires a pot-smoking Filipina caretaker
and, with his mother’s rascally Yorkie in tow, they take off for Wisconsin
via Oregon’s fabled Willamette Valley, where Miles is Master of ceremonies of
the International Pinot Festival. It is a road novel for the smart set and wine lover,
and anything but predictable.
““Rex [Pickett] shows that his gift for creating wildly funny scenes is quite intact.
The book is laugh-out-loud funny.... In the course of the trip, the characters of
Miles and his mother are well drawn. We come to like Miles more than we ever
did in Sideways, and nod knowingly about what he goes through... it is an entertaining
and touching book.”—Paul W. Jameson, NY Journal of Books
“Vertical—Rex Pickett’s long-anticipated sequel to his now iconic Sideways -- had
me alternately laughing and crying through this hilarious, heartbreaking and ultimately
moving meditation on Fame, Friendship and Family… Vertical managed
to break my heart and then put it back together again, piece by piece ... and should
abolish any lingering doubts whether the author just got “lucky” with Sideways.
This is a work to be both admired and savored like the great Willamette Valley
Pinots Miles exults over.”—Marco Mannone, Forth Magazine
“Rex Pickett’s novel Vertical continues the picaresque adventures of Miles and Jack.
It’s a feast. You can’t put it down. The humor and wit are irresistible… Pickett
has taken his writing and his characters to another level. I recommend you read
this novel and see for yourself.” —Paul Dresman, Writing at the Edge
“... I enthusiastically recommend Vertical … if you do venture down the road with
Miles and Jack you are likely to be satisfied and perhaps touched by the journey.”
— Tim Elliott, Wine Cast
“Sideways, ....is arguably the most influential wine-themed book that became a film
in American history. The film Sideways grossed $300 million...and people are still
debating whether it alone caused Pinot Noir sales to spike, or was merely a factor
in the variety’s astonishing success. Now we have the follow up story in Vertical...”
—Steve Heimoff, Wine Enthusiast

ans Liege is a Rhone varietal project working with fruit from
“SPaso down to Santa Barbara. The concept of ‘without allegiance’
is not one of rebellion but rather an acknowledgment that
these varietals do not have a history here on the central coast. With
this youth comes a freedom to express the fruit and vineyards the
way I see them.” Curt Schalchlin, proprietor & winemaker
Wine Spectator 3/09 profiled Sans Liege as one
of “10 emerging California Rhone producers.”

2008 Banshee
Cabernet Sauvignon
Napa Valley
If you are familiar with the Banshee Pinot Noir, one of our most
popular wines in recent memory, then you are probably a fan of
the winery. The good news is that they also make a great Cabernet
Sauvignon from top sources of Napa Valley fruit and we were able
to get our hands on the last of what they had available! This wine
just arrived yesterday afternoon and a preliminary tasting proves it
to be another big hit! Banshee is very rapidly becoming well known
as a great wine for the price: their Pinot Noir started that reputation
and the Cabernet Sauvignon is going to solidify it! It is unusual to
get a top-notch Napa Cabernet for under $30, but Banshee has done
it with this one!

“Tclassic Zinfandel, it offers up peppery, briery, wild berry

Sauvignon Blanc has long been a warm weather staple. Crisp,
clean and refreshing, it’s like the lemonade of wine. Zesty and
herbal, fruity and tropical, or serious and complex— there’s a style
to suit any palate.
Delicious flavors of fresh citrus and tropical fruit notes, highlighted
with fresh dill and chive. Light body and bright acidity make
this a refreshing wine that pairs well with many light dishes.
Year after year, a consistent winner and always a safe choice!
