2007 Bel Canto, Cara Mia Vineyard_ _____________________________ 59.99
“A great showing-and all the more remarkable considering that Ben Smith and Gaye
McNutt’s vineyard on Red Mountain was only planted in 2004. There are any number of
powerhouse Bordeaux blends being made in Washington today, but very few wines with
this degree of class.” Steve Tanzer, rated 94/100
2007 Camerata, Cara Mia Vineyard_ _____________________________ 59.99
“Plush, layered and sweet, with dense but vibrant flavors of brambly berries and graphite and
attractive floral lift. Very cabernet, and in need of at least a couple of years to absorb its
slightly dusty, serious tannins.” Steve Tanzer, rated 92+/100
“It’s all power and energy at the moment, a ripe mélange of black fig, blueberry and cassis—
mouthfilling flavors laced with chewy ripe tannin that guide all the extract and power to a
lasting finish. An impressive performance… ” Wine & Spirits, rated 94/100,
2007 Ciel du Cheval Vineyard_ ________________________________ 49.99
39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Cabernet Franc and 13% each Merlot and Petit Verdot
“A sexy and refined wine, delivering excellent density of material without any sense of weight.
The pure, primary finish is classically broad and dry, featuring fine-grained tannins and
harmonious acids that leave the taste buds vibrating.” Steve Tanzer, rated 93+/100
Rated 91/100, Wine & Spirits
2007 Tapteil Vineyard______________________________________ 49.99
56% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Cabernet Franc and 11% Merlot
“Suave, layered and sweet, with a silky, seamless texture and an intriguing saline quality. This
really spreads out to coat the palate with red fruit, graphite and mineral flavors. The
Cadence wines have gained in richness and fullness in the past few vintages without any loss
of balance or freshness. Finishes pliant, broad and long, with very suave but serious tannins
and impressive energy.” Steve Tanzer rated, 93/100
1999
Cristal Champagne
ne of the finest Champagnes I
“Ohave ever brought to my lips,
the 1999 Cristal bursts from the glass
with fresh hazelnut and apple scents.
Elegant, deep, and silky-textured, this
medium to full-bodied beauty is
immensely concentrated, pure, packed
with apple flavors, and astoundingly
long in the finish.” Wine Advocate,
rated 98/100
This special bottle comes in a
custom wooden case.
2009
Ocaso
Malbec
Lively, with an abundance of herbaceous,
earthy notes. Bright, ripe fruit combines with
spicy notes on the finish for a pleasant, lingering
conclusion. Perfectly balanced, it can be paired
with heavier fare such as steaks or barbecue, but
it doesn’t overpower lighter dishes such as chicken
and pasta.
“Warm and generous, this is a lush and satisfying wine with ripe cherry notes and a hint of
wood. The juicy flavors on the palate darken to a blueberry note, the tannins firm but not
overbearing… Impressive stuff… ” Wine & Spirits, Rated 93/100
