“Gunflint, wet smoke, and briary blackberry aromas<br />
exude from the glass. Earthy nuanced flavors are balanced<br />
nicely with rich vibrant blackberry fruit, pink peppercorn<br />
spice and ferrous/iron like flavors. Our most refined,<br />
balanced and approachable offering to date. This should<br />
drink well now and hold well for the next 4-5 years.”<br />

<strong>2006</strong> Corton Grand Cru<br />
Cuvée Docteur Peste<br />
Hospices de Beaune<br />
Domaine Bouchard<br />
Aine et Fils<br />
Jean-Louis Peste was a doctor at the Hospices de Beaune for 30 years<br />
in the mid-19th Century. His daughter, Baronne du Bay, bequeathed a vast<br />
estate to the Hôtel-Dieu in his memory, in 1924.<br />
Vineyards located in Corton-Chaumes & Voierose, which is south and<br />
south-west facing land beside the road leading from Pernand to Aloxe, constitute<br />
37% of this Cuvée. These vines were planted in 1976, 1982 and 1985.<br />
Corton-Bressandes makes up the next largest constituent, with half the parcel<br />
dating from 1940, the balance being Clos du Roy and Grèves.<br />
The number of barrels being offered for sale in <strong>2006</strong> was slightly<br />
reduced compared to previous years, following careful assessment of individual<br />
vineyard plots.<br />

2005 Pre-Arrival} Direct Import Offering<br />
Tardieu-Laurent<br />
“The set of 2005s I tasted with negociant Michel Tardieu and his Oenologist, the Zelig-like Philippe Cambie, showed more<br />
restraint and elegance than I was expecting. ‘It was possible to make wines with both finesse and power in 2005, which is why<br />
it is such a fantastic vintage in the north as well as the south’, Tardieu told me. ‘In the south, the grenache achieved color like<br />
never before; the tannins are abundant and the wines have great concentration. It is essential to cellar them to allow their full<br />
potential to be expressed. ‘Tardieu’s fruit sources include many of the top growers and sites throughout the Rhone Valley.”<br />
Steve Tanzer<br />
Michael Tardieu<br />
“In partnership with Burgundy’s Dominique Laurent, Michel Tardieu is producing some of the Rhône Valley’s<br />
most extraordinary cuvées. His undisputed knowledge of vineyards in addition to an enthusiastic and charming<br />
personality give him access to some of the best old vine cuvées from top growers throughout the Rhône Valley.<br />
A negociant rather than grower, he purchases the juice then ages the wine in small barriques. They are never<br />
racked, are kept on their lees with minimal SO2 additions, and then bottled with neither fining nor filtration.<br />
The results are splendid. Highly recommended wines.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />
Dominique Laurent<br />
“Dominique Laurent has had Burgundy in a tizzy because of his brilliant, handcrafted, powerfuly rich and concentrated<br />
red Burgundies. Less known is Laurent’s involvement with former courtier, Michel Tardieu, in a Rhône<br />
Valley négociant operation. I have tasted only three vintages of Tardieu-Laurent (1995, 1996 and 1997), but tasting<br />
them is akin to tasting in some of the world’s greatest cellars. The wines are remarkable expressions of their appellations.<br />
Both of these men are brilliant winemakers, believing in natural winemaking, unfined/unfiltered wines, ripe<br />
fruit, and low yields. Their offerings represent the quintessential expression of their terroir, vintage, and varietal<br />
character. I predict that both Michel Tardieu and Dominique Laurent will have a profound influence on Burgundy<br />
and the Rhône.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />

}<br />
“As I reported las year, Les Behrens and his wife, Lisa, purchased the<br />
interest of their partner, Bob Hitchcock, and the name Behrens and<br />
Hitchcock will be history after the following 2004s are released. Under<br />
the new name, Erna Schein (Les Behrens’ mother’s name), the goal will<br />
be to produce more limited, but also more interesting cuvées. Beginning<br />
with the 2005s, all the wines will be released under the Erna Schein<br />
label, and production is unlikely to exceed 3,000 cases. As I have written<br />
many times, this is a fun place to visit…a hippy commune on top of<br />
Spring Mountain where everyone does what they want, and has a heck<br />
of a good time while they do it. From a wine critic’s perspective, the<br />
wines are wonderful. They are loaded with fruit and personality, much<br />
like the proprietors.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />

Cemetery<br />
LES BEHREnS, PRoPRiEToR & WinEMAkER<br />
The 10th vintage from the Kenefick<br />
Ranch is sadly their last, but perhaps the<br />
best ever. The nose has sweet and creamy<br />
black fruits, blueberry, and toasty oak.<br />
Ripe flavors surround a velvety and luscious<br />
mouthfeel, and a huge mid-palate<br />
of violet and chocolate carries to<br />
the lingering finish. 92-94 points<br />
from Robert Parker. The blend of<br />
88% Cab Sauvignon, 6% Petit<br />
Verdot, 4% Merlot and 2% Cab.<br />
Franc creates a classic rich and fullbodied<br />
wine. 314 cases produced.<br />
A brooding wine of intense color and complexity, the<br />
2005 Cemetery is nearly black. Earthy sage notes<br />
coupled with deeper scents of espresso, cocoa and<br />
cedar give life to the wine before it even hits your lips.<br />
All agreed that a near symphonic balance is achieved<br />
in this wine; you feel the bass of Mexican dark<br />
chocolate as you taste the higher-toned raspberry<br />
elements. The fruit nuances are balanced by more<br />
muscular flavors of tobacco and liqueur. The<br />
Cemetery truly makes for a complete wine that<br />
finishes with grace and length. Robert Parker calls<br />
it a “beautifully poised, elegant wine,” and rated it<br />
93-95 points (The <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, Issue 168).<br />

Sassicaia Tenuta San Guido<br />
MARCHESE niCoLo inCiSA DELLA<br />
RoCCHETTA, PRoPRiEToR<br />
This wine has inspired concertos, poems and<br />
praise from critics and aspiring wine aficionados<br />
alike. Composed of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon<br />
and 15% Cabernet Franc, Sassicaia is aged for 22<br />
months in Allier and Troncais oak. A name<br />
meaning “the place of many stones” Sassicaia<br />
remains the benchmark for Tuscan winemaking<br />
today.<br />
2004 Vintage<br />
“The Best Young Sassicaia in Years!”<br />
Steve Tanzer, rated 96/100<br />
“Deep ruby. Absolutely ethereal nose offers intense yet refined aromas of ripe red cherry, smoke,<br />
leather and black truffle, with a pretty mineral element nuance and clarity. Velvety-smooth, ripe and<br />
rich on entry, then awash with mid-palate flavors of red cherry, smoky red plum, cassis, spices, bay leaf,<br />
roasted coffee bean and dark chocolate. Bright acids and silky-smooth tannins give this extraordinary<br />
wine extra lift and precision. Compared to recent vintages, this is a far richer and plumper yet extremely<br />
refined version of Sassicaia at a similar stage of its development. The finish goes on for minutes,<br />
highlighted by an enchanting mineral quality. The best young Sassicaia in years.” Steve Tanzer<br />

<strong>Syrah</strong> Suits Washington<br />
“At its best, Washington <strong>Syrah</strong> displays the deep color, violet-laced perfume, and peppery palate of<br />
Hermitage and Côtie-Rôtie, but with less tannin. Vivid, focused fruit is more common than overt<br />
jammyness, perhaps owing to cold nights at the end of the growing season…It’s a long way from the<br />
Rhône Valley to the Pacific Northwest, but <strong>Syrah</strong> is right at home in both places.” Saveur<br />
Gramercy <strong>Cellars</strong><br />
Walla Walla, Washington<br />
“…Clearly a label to follow.” Steve Tanzer<br />
Gramercy’s viticultural and winemaking philosophies are very simple- to select the best<br />
vineyards, harvest ripe, not over ripe grapes, intervene minimally in the winemaking process,<br />
and don’t smother the wine with tons of new oak. They believe that too many wines<br />
have excessive alcohol and new oak, are overly fruity and taste like they could be from<br />
anywhere. They created Gramercy <strong>Cellars</strong> to make different wines that display balance,<br />
fruit and earthiness, and minimal new oak flavors. Their wines may require time to<br />
develop and open, but will reward patience. This is their passion. At Gramercy <strong>Cellars</strong>,<br />
they seek to produce wines that will complement food, provide great pleasure and stand<br />
out as uniquely as Washington.<br />

278 cases produced<br />
“Our inaugural Walla Walla Valley <strong>Syrah</strong>. Damn we love this wine. The grapes were<br />
destemmed, fermented in small, open top fermenters for 7-12 days, lightly pressed, allowed<br />
to settle and placed in French Oak barrels, with 15% new. The wine was aged for 18<br />
months leaving just a kiss of oak. This wine displays smoked meat, black olive and licorice<br />
flavors and elegant black fruits. The wine shows balanced acidity with intense richness and<br />
just a touch of vanilla spice. Exactly what we wanted to make in Washington!” Greg<br />

2005 <strong>Syrah</strong> “Lagniappe” Columbia Valley _________________ 29.99<br />
485 cases produced<br />
“Our inaugural Lagniappe <strong>Syrah</strong>. In New Orleans, Lagniappe means a ‘a little something<br />
extra.’ We feel both the wine and the vineyards are a gift to us. The grapes were partiallly<br />
destemmed (it’s all about the whole cluster), co-fermented with Viognier in small, open top<br />
fermenters for 7-12 days, lightly pressed, allowed to settle and placed in neutral French<br />
Oak. The wine was aged for 18 months.<br />
This wine displays an amazingly floral nose with hints of orange rind. Flavors of liquid<br />
stone and gravel, with smoked meat and red and black fruits. This wine is all about balance<br />
with fantastic acidity and intense fruit and earth flavors. This is a food wine, not for sipping<br />
on the porch!” Greg Harrington MS, proprietor & winemaker<br />

Girardin’s} Classic 2005<br />
Vincent Burgundies<br />
T h e V i n e y a r d : January/February 2008<br />
Styled by Vincent Girardin, his white wines display their quality in finesse, their aromatic purety, and the harmony between<br />
richness and vibrancy. Vincent’s red wines are profound and intense, balancing the tannins and the ripe fruit. These wines<br />
demonstrate fullness of structure, with unmistakable grandeur, without any astringency.<br />
Success in winemaking requires a rigour and attention to detail at all times for each individual wine. Because each wine has its<br />
own specific characteristics, the right technical decisions by the winemaker are essential.<br />
At Domaine Vincent Girardin the grapes are harvested by hand, then sorted twice, once in the vineyard and for a second time<br />
in the winery. The sorting process eliminates all elements that are not fully ripe or not in the best condition. The presses are<br />
pneumatic in order to preserve the purity of the grapes. Next the wines are aged in oak barrels. This carefully controlled ageing<br />
process allows the wines to achieve their full potential. In order to preserve their natural qualities to the utmost, the red<br />
wines are not fined or filtered.<br />

Linne Calodo<br />
MATT TREViSAn, PRoPRiEToR & WinEMAkER<br />
“One of my favorite Rhône Ranger producers is Linne Calado’s Matt Trevisan. He<br />
has been courageous in avoiding the mainstream approach to selling Rhône Ranger<br />
wines via varietal labeling, preferring to make the best blends possible à la some of<br />
the the Central Coast’s most successful producers (i.e., Sine Qua Non, l’Aventure,<br />
Saxum, and Villa Creek). <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />
<strong>2006</strong> Contrarian ________________________________________________ 31.99<br />
68% Roussanne, 32% Viognier<br />
“Linne Calodo’s gorgeous white wine, one of the best dry whites of the area, is the <strong>2006</strong> Contrarian, a blend of 68% Roussanne<br />
and 32% Viognier. This is a dry, full-bodied wine with notes of honeyed melons and citrus, a bit of pear, and some more<br />
exotic rose petal/floral notes. The wine has terrific fruit and finishes dry. Moreover, the good news is that there are 450 cases<br />
of it. All of this comes from both the James Berry and Denner Vineyards. “ <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 93/100<br />
2005 Problem Child ______________________________________________ 44.99<br />
71% Zinfandel, 17% <strong>Syrah</strong>, 12% Mourvedre<br />
“The 2005 Problem Child (71% Zinfandel, 17% <strong>Syrah</strong>, and 12% Mourvedre) possesses beautiful raspberry and briery fruit as well<br />
as copious quantities of roasted herbs, pepper, and meaty characteristics. With excellent texture, full-bodied, powerful flavors (15.6%<br />
alcohol), good acidity, and a robust finish, it should drink well for 5-6 years.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 92/100<br />
2005 Leona’s __________________________________________________ 45.79<br />
62% Zinfandel, 30% <strong>Syrah</strong>, 8% Mourvedre<br />
“A blend of 62% Zinfandel, 30% <strong>Syrah</strong>, and 8% Mourvedre, the 2005 Leona’s exhibits gorgeously sweet raspberry and black cherry<br />
fruit along with a hint of resiny pine forest, medium to full body, terrific texture and richness, and a Mediterranean-styled personality<br />
as well as mouthfeel. Enjoy it over the next 3-4 years.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 93/100<br />

85% <strong>Syrah</strong>, 11% Mourvedre, 4% Grenache<br />
“The 2005 Nemesis (which was still in barrel) reminded me of a 2003 Northern Rhone red Hermitage. A blend of 85% <strong>Syrah</strong>, 11%<br />
Mourvedre, and 4% Grenache, the wine exhibits blackberry notes with hints of road tar, truffle, and earth. Spicy, with fabulous layers<br />
of rich creme de cassis fruit, this broad, expansive wine has superb purity, a beautifully textured mouthfeel, and a long finish. It<br />
should evolve for a decade or more.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 94-96/100<br />

nicolas Rossignol}<br />
“Unprepared for the enormity of his range of Pinots (eight Volnays, four wines each from<br />
Beaune and Pommard, plus myriad other appellations) and their multiple locations, I was<br />
regrettably unable to taste all of the 2005s from this domaine. But based on the consistent excellence<br />
of what I sampled - not to mention prices well below those commanded by Volnay’s most<br />
celebrated vignerons - consumers should hasten to claim whatever they can from this vintage,<br />
which Rossignol characterizes as ‘complete, combining the richness of 1999 with the finesse of<br />
2002.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />
niCoLAS RoSSiGnoL<br />
2005 Beaune ____________________________ 39.99<br />
“From near the Epenotes cru comes a rarity in Burgundy, namely a<br />
‘mere’ village 2005 Beaune. A lovely deep, black-edged color reflects<br />
these old vines and their nutty, stony meaty, black-fruited flavor concentration.<br />
Blackberry, beet root, toasted walnut, and tobacco feature<br />
prominently on a silken, expansive and impressively dense palate, which<br />
this wine stains thoroughly while displaying just a bit of post-bottling<br />
tightness in its finish.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 90+/100<br />
2005 Bourgogne Rouge ______________________ 22.99<br />
2005 Savigny Les Beaune Fourneaux ______________ 49.99<br />
“Vinified with around a third whole clusters, the 2005 Savigny-les-<br />
Beaune Les Fourneaux smells of cooked blackberry and raspberry with<br />
overtones of underbrush and smoke. Rich and substantial in the mouth,<br />
it finishes with generous fruit but firm tannins, accentuated by its recent<br />
sulfuring and bottling.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 90+/100<br />
2005 Volnay ____________________________ 49.99<br />
“From young, clonally-diverse vines in la Bouchere – a very chalky,<br />
rocky site high above the village – Rossignol’s 2005 Volnay is loaded<br />
with deep, dark black cherry fruit, cherry pits, salty, chalky, iodine- and<br />
iron-like minerality. Incipiently velvety in the mouth, it promises to<br />
blossom with 3-5 years in the bottle, which it seems not at all disturbed<br />
by having just been put into. Here is the spirit of Volnay in a great<br />
vintage at a modest price: run, don’t walk!” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated<br />
92/100<br />
2005 Volnay Chevret ________________________ 64.99<br />
2005 Volnay Chevret ______________________mag. 159.99<br />
“From a deeper site just below Caillerets and north of the Santenots<br />
du Milieu, a 2005 Volnay Chevret offers generous ripe blackberry, a<br />
simple, salty mineral expression, and a compelling richness and<br />
sheer fruit intensity. Dark forest floor notes are only hinted at,<br />
although this is almost certain to offer more complexity after allowing<br />
it 5-7 years to shut down and recover.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated<br />

2005 Volnay Caillerets _____________________mag. 169.99<br />
“From 20 and 50 year-old vines (the younger touching d’Angerville’s<br />
parcel and the older the 60 Ouvrees) Rossignol’s 2005 Volnay<br />
Caillerets largely leaves behind fruits and berries for a tour of stony<br />
terroir on the back of a wild animal. Iodine, chalk and cherry pit<br />
pungency and bitterness, invigorating saltiness, tart hints of red currant,<br />
fascinating florality, and gaminess make for a complex young<br />
Pinot, dense and full of fine tannin yet already hinting at creaminess.<br />
The length and multifarious mineral dimension harbor grand cru<br />
pretensions, and I would not hesitate to hide bottles away for 8-10<br />
years.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 94/100<br />
2005 Cuvée L’Héritière }<br />
Vieilles Vignes<br />
A single parcel cuvée from the Lieu-dit “Les Crenilles”<br />
planted in 1922!<br />
“The 2005 Bourgogne l’Hertiere — representing a parcel of nearly ninety year-old<br />
vines below Pommard ‘treated just like my premier crus’ — offers impressively concentrated<br />
aromas and flavors of black fruits, bitter chocolate, savory smokiness,<br />
forest floor and roasted game. Savage in more than one sense of the word, this ample<br />
mouthful of Pinot grips intensely and with significant tannic roughness accentuated<br />
by its recent sulfuring and bottling. Rossignol is developing a selection massale from<br />
these vines for future planting.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />

kracher<br />
“The charismatic Kracher is known internationally as one of the top producers of sweet wine in<br />
the world. In the best vintages, Kracher offers a unique, numbered series of Trockenbeerenauslesen<br />
from single varieties and blends, some made in tank and some in barrel. Those from<br />
Scheurebe and Welschriesling have been consistently outstanding.” Steve Tanzer<br />
“Top Austrian wine producer Alois Kracher died this<br />
morning after a battle with pancreatic cancer. He was 48<br />
years old.<br />
From the vineyards of his 40ha estate in Illmitz, on<br />
the eastern shore of Lake Neusiedl ‘Luis’ Kracher created<br />
some of the world´s most acclaimed botrytised sweet<br />
wines.<br />
His outstanding range of Beerenauslese,<br />
Trockenbeerenauslese and other late harvest wines captured<br />
the imagination and palates of sommeliers, restaurateurs,<br />
wine critics and writers around the world.<br />
GERHARD kRACHER, THE LATE ALoiS kRACHER, JR AnD ALoiS kRACHER, SR.<br />
So significant were his talents and influence on other Austrian sweet winemakers, that Kracher helped catapult Austrian sweet wines to the<br />
ranks of other world greats, including German TBAs, Sauternes and Tokaji.<br />
Over the years, Alois Kracher garnered innumerable accolades and awards. And his wines continue to score in the high 90s in ratings around the world.<br />
Although botrytised sweet wines were the focus of Kracher’s work, he also produced dry white and red wines, and worked with unfashionable grapes<br />
including Welschriesling, Muskat Ottonel and scheurebe.” Decanter<br />

2005 Chablis Bougros ___________________ 69.99<br />
“…big, muscular and robust flavors that are quite rich but<br />

2005 Chablis Fourchaume Vignoble de Vaulorent ____ 59.99<br />
“Séguier calls this their ‘baby grand cru’ as specific barrels are<br />
selected for vine age, concentration and power. A superbly<br />
elegant nose of white flowers and citrus that is perfumed,<br />
stylish, high-toned and pure combines with round, precise,<br />
intense and strikingly detailed flavors that are quite powerful<br />
yet focused and rather linear at present. As Séguier suggests,<br />
this is easily of grand cru quality and by far and away the best<br />

World Famous<br />
Grappa<br />
}<br />
Grappa is a legal Italian name given to the distilled spirits obtained through the distillation of the<br />
pomace of pressed grapes (skins, seeds, and a small quantity of pulp, must, and wine). It is a brandy<br />
unique to its kind. The basic difference is that Grappa is obtained by distilling the pomace with boiling<br />
water and the extraction of alcohol present in it through a flow of hot steam. Other brandies or Eau-de-<br />
Vie are obtained with the distillation of washing waters of the pomace.<br />
There are two distillation methods. The first, a continuous distillation, finds its application in the<br />
industrial production of grappa. The second, a discontinuous distillation, is used by small distillers. The<br />
second method used by most of the Master Grappaioli implies constant attention to the process of distillation.<br />
The grappa maker continuously corrects the trend of distillation by an ever-changing manual<br />
ability determined by the characteristic and type of pomace put in the boiler. The effect of the discontinuous<br />
system is to allow for a slow distillation and an accurate fractioning of the boiling liquid. Paolo<br />
Marolo, Jacopo Poli, and Nonino are considered Master Grappaioli.<br />
Grappa can be aged or not aged. Clear grappa is not aged. It can also be fruit infused with different<br />
flavors.<br />
Uva is very similar to grappa but is made from whole grapes and is considered an immature grape<br />
brandy.<br />

Rare nectars<br />
From Alsace}<br />
Restricted to four noble grape varieties, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Muscat, these rare<br />
wines are subject to France’s most stringent wine laws. Vendanges Tardives wines are picked last of all, and<br />
only from the choicest plots in the greatest years, the grapes are always over-ripe and often affected by<br />
noble rot.<br />
Selection de Grains Nobles wines are even richer and rarer than Vendange Tardive ones. They are only<br />
harvested under ideal climatic conditions, the botrytised grapes literally being picked one by one. These<br />
rare nectars have an unrivaled aromatic intensity and can improve for decade after decade.<br />

“Spicy and lusty Zinfandel is America’s heritage red wine, and California winemakers are producing Zins<br />
that all the world craves…Once again, when Americans see a challenge, they go for it. And when they recognize<br />
a great red wine, they flock to it. Commit a Zin.” <strong>Wine</strong> Enthusiast<br />
“California has produced its best lineup of Zinfandels in a decade with the 2004 and 2005 vintages. The<br />
wines are now on wine shop shelves, and whether you’re into big, jammy reds or more refined versions,<br />
these two years offer the best of both worlds.” <strong>Wine</strong> Spectator<br />

growing season produced Zinfandel of<br />

the riper 2005 vintage came riper fruit<br />
and a higher alcohol level. The fruit profile<br />
on The Terraces Zinfandel continues<br />
to focus on fresh berries and not cooked<br />
or jammy fruit. The spice characteristics<br />
both from the fruit and the barrel regimen<br />
show hints of clove, nutmeg and<br />
savory meats. A small amount of Petite<br />
Sirah helps to create depth and roundness.”<br />

Spring Valley<br />
Vineyard}<br />
For over 100 years, Spring Valley has been a premiere location for wheat ranching. Since the late 1800s,<br />
the Corkrum family has farmed in this area and by 1910 Uriah Franklin Corkrum had acquired the land that<br />
now encompasses Spring Valley Vineyard. Today, Shari Corkrum <strong>Derby</strong> - granddaughter of Uriah - and her<br />
husband, Dean <strong>Derby</strong>, continue the tradition of farming this land.<br />
Spring Valley Vineyard is a limited production facility, exclusively producing Estate bottled red wine. The<br />
fanciful names given to their wines are a tribute to the family members who have struggled and succeeded in<br />
farming the same land where Spring Valley Vineyard flourishes. Uriah Corkrum, Shari’s grandfather, was born<br />
in Walla Walla on June 1, 1866. He began successful farming on his own during the 1880’s. Poor weather kept<br />
him from getting his crop out of the field and he lost everything during the first great depression of 1893. He<br />
struggled but preserved and by 1910 acquired land in the area known as Spring Valley. Frederick Corkrum son<br />
to Uriah and father to Shari, grew up in Spring Valley. Farming with his father and brothers, Federick took<br />
care of the mules and drove them in all aspects of the farming operation.<br />
Today, Spring Valley Vineyard supports 7 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, 18 acres of Merlot, 8 acres of<br />
Cabernet Franc, 2 acres of Petit Verdot, 1 acre of Malbec and 4 acres of <strong>Syrah</strong> grapevines within its forty<br />
acres.<br />

Rated 93/100, <strong>Wine</strong> Spectator<br />
“The 2004 Uriah is 60% Merlot, 31% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Petit Verdot. Dark ruby-colored, it delivers<br />
a splendid perfume of pain grille, red currants, and black cherry. Structured and rich, with gobs of ripe fruit, this lengthy wine<br />
does a splendid impersonation of a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 93/100<br />

2004 Frederick ________________________________________________________ Rare magnum 99.99<br />
Rated 90/100, “The 2004 Frederick further raises the bar. Composed of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 12% Cabernet<br />
Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot, this is Spring Valley’s interpretation of a classified growth Saint-Julien. Purple-colored, it offers up an<br />
expressive array of pain grille, pencil lead, espresso roast, black currants, and blackberry liqueur scents. Full-bodied, with layers of<br />
spicy black fruits, and terrific integration of oak, fruit, and acidity, this packed wine has a 60+ second finish. Give it 6-8 years in<br />
your cellar and drink it through 2040. When you taste wines like these, it becomes obvious why the Walla Walla AVA has become<br />
a destination of choice for people wanting to start a winery.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 94/100<br />

“<strong>Wine</strong> consultant Mark Herold is making the wines at this estate, which he considers to have some of<br />
the greatest terroir potential he has seen in Napa Valley. The vineyards are located on Diamond<br />
Mountain, in the distinctive micro-climate of the Franz Valley School Road (48 acres protected on three<br />
sides by forests). there are three single vineyard offerings…These are impressive newcomers that merit<br />

Rare Single Vineyard Offerings<br />
“The following tasting notes are brief, but I included them since readers who visit Napa Valley can purchase these<br />
wines directly from Beringer. There are between 200-500 cases of the following seven single vineyard cuvées that all<br />
go into the Private Reserve bottling, and all of them are showing better this year than they did in 2003…One of my<br />
favorites, the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon St. Helena Home Vineyard (rated 95/100) is a classic example of Cabernet<br />
Sauvignon’s Créme de cassis side. With a terrific texture, wonderful opulence, and a long, full-bodied finish, it will be<br />
a 20-year wine. The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Steinhauer Vineyard (rated 93/100) is another big, full bodied, heady<br />
effort.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />

“The following single-vineyard wines, which are only available at the winery, emerge from the component parts utilized in the Private<br />
Reserve blend. My favorite of the component parts is the 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon St. Helena Home Vineyard (rated 93/100)<br />
because of its extraordinarily pure crème de cassis character, big, sweet licorice, cedary, full-bodied opulence, and voluptuous personality.<br />
After that, I thought the 2002 Steinhauer Cabernet Sauvignon (rated 90/100) revealed impressive minerality along with white<br />
flowers, and serious density, structure, and delineation.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />

Aile d’Argent<br />
Ch Mouton Rothschild’s<br />
White <strong>Wine</strong>}<br />
The 10-acre Aile d’Argent vineyard, situated on the Château Mouton Rothschild estate, consists of three<br />
separate parcels characterized by sandy, gravelly soil. The mix of classic Bordeaux grape varieties is adapted<br />
to the characteristics of each parcel. Semillon accounts for 47% of the total, Sauvignon Blanc for 51% and<br />
Muscadelle for 2%. The average age of the vines is 13 years, and the vineyard density is 8500 vines per hectare.<br />
Traditional methods are used to cultivate the vines and the vineyard is grassed. Harvested by hand, the<br />
grapes are sorted on the vine and collected in small open baskets, as for Château Mouton Rothschild.<br />
Depending on the vintage and the grape variety, the grapes are either pressed directly into a vertical press<br />
(60%) or macerated on their sides prior to pressing and fermentation (40%). This allows the chosen grapes<br />
to fully express their aromatic potential. The must is chilled to between 8 and 10 C and slowly begins to<br />
ferment in stainless steel vats where the temperature is kept constantly below 18 C. When half-fermented,<br />
the Semillon and Sauvignon musts are transferred to oak barrels (50% new, 50% one year old). Fermentation<br />
continues, and may last for several weeks. The maturing process then begins. The wine is left on fine lees to<br />
nourish it and give it roundness, length and complexity. After the different varieties have been blended, the<br />
wine is bottled during the autumn following the harvest.<br />
Annual production is approximately 10,000 bottles.<br />
Aile d’Argent is made with a view to ageing and will keep for 5 to 10 years, or 10-15 years for the best vintages.<br />

2002 VinTAGE.<br />
“As my tasting notes clearly demonstrate,<br />
these wines possess not only the ability to<br />
improve, but to last for decades. If you<br />
have never the Thevenet wines, you owe it<br />
to yourself to give one a try.” Allen<br />

2003 Macon Viré-Clessé Cuvee Tradition _________ 29.99<br />
“Thevenet defines 2003 as ‘un grand millesime car ils ont de<br />
la matiere!’ (‘a great vintage because they have flesh/fruit<br />
density’). Typical of this winery, I had to climb over hoses,<br />
squeeze between tanks, then slide outside through a semiopen<br />
door to get to the next wine…though I’ll admit to being<br />
surprised to find the tanks holding the 2003 Vire-Clesse<br />
Cuvee Tradition in the courtyard. There we stood, in a cold<br />
drizzle, tasting this wonderful elixir. Its nose reveals great<br />
richness in its dried honey and melon aromas. Medium to<br />
full-bodied and broad, it is a spicy, mineral-laced wine of gorgeous<br />
depth, concentration, and length. Notes of syrupy<br />
white truffles appear in its prolonged finish. Drink it over the<br />
next 7-8 years.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 91-93/100<br />
2002 Macon Viré-Clessé Cuvee Tradition _________ 29.99<br />
“Sexy fruit salad aromas of pear, apricot and apple, with a<br />
suggestion of liqueur-like sweetness. Supple, fruit-driven and<br />
spicy, with lovely intensity and depth of flavor A step up in<br />
concentration and texture from the 2001, silkier and sweeter<br />
in the middle. Long and ripe on the end.” Steve Tanzer, rated<br />
90-92/100<br />
“Sporting a nose of boisterous spices, roasted pears, and<br />
dried honey, the 2002 Viré-Clessé Cuvee Tradition reveals a<br />
rich, satin-textured character. Its white truffle, honey, liqueur<br />
of mineral, and massively spicy flavor profile is lush, oily,<br />
concentrated, and exceptionally long in the finish. Drink it<br />
over the next 6+ years.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />

“Orange-yellow color. High-toned, resiny aromas of honey, toffee<br />
and white raisin; here the strong noble rot is much more<br />
roasted than that of the 2000. Super concentrated and silky, but<br />
as with the 2000 the powerful acids leaven the wine’s thickness.<br />
Distinctly more roasted and rustic in character than the 2000,<br />
with higher volatile acidity, but utterly fascinating sweet wine.<br />
This is carrying 250 grams of residual sugar.” Vintages 2000 and<br />
1994 are my two most concentrated years for this wine,”<br />
Thevenet told me.” Steve Tanzer, rated 94/100<br />
“This would be on my very short list as one of the greatest<br />
Chardonnay based late harvest wines I have ever had the privilege<br />
of trying as the balance and harmony of this wine defy<br />
description. Intense, rich, explosive and magnificently complex,<br />
this combines knockout satin-textured flavors and a superbly<br />
long finish this quite simply ravishes the palate yet everything<br />
remains balanced and in perfect harmony. A bit lower in acidity<br />
than either the 2000 or the ’95 and this is approaching its gee.” Allen Meadows, rated<br />

2002 Macon Viré-Clessé __________________ 19.99<br />
“Jean Thevenet produced an excellent 2002 Macon-Villages<br />
(Domaine Emilian Gillet). Loads of rocks, apples, spices, and<br />
linden can be found in its boisterous aromatics. Lush, rich,<br />
and light to medium-bodied, its flavor profile is dominated<br />
by honeyed minerals. This spicy, well-balanced wine should<br />
be drunk over the next 3-4 years.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />
“Highly perfumed, elegant, pure, fresh and subtly spicy aromas<br />
lead to bigger, rounder and notably rich flavors that offer<br />
impressive density and a mouth coating texture and a palate<br />
staining finish. This is full bodied with a glycerol sweetness<br />
to it yet the explosive finish is completely dry. This is an<br />
extremely impressive effort.” Burghound<br />
“Spiced apple and pear on the nose. Richer, riper and fatter<br />
than the 2001, with a silky texture and hints of exotic fruits.<br />
This big boy will be showy early on…” Steve Tanzer<br />

Pinot noir<br />
2005 Pinot noir Allen Vineyard __________________________ 119.99<br />
Bright Maraschino cherries, strawberries, rose petal, ginger, violets and root beer<br />
aromas. Concentrated raspberry and strawberry jam flavors end up lush and sweet<br />
in the mouth. The fruity finish is complemented by a toasty vanilla/crème bruleelike<br />
texture explosion in your mouth, along with creamy textured tannins that<br />
finish long across your palate.<br />
2005 Pinot Bucher Vineyard ___________________________ 79.99<br />
Lively aromas of Bing cherries, violets, root beer and tarragon come through in the<br />
nose. A mouthful of pie cherries, raspberry, cola, herbal spices and earth is complemented<br />
by the richness of grape and toasty oak tannin in the finish. The complexity<br />
of this wine continues to show through as these vines become more and more<br />
mature.<br />
2005 Pinot noir Ferrington Vineyard _______________________ 89.99<br />
Mocha and ripe wild cherries stand out in the nose of this concentrated wine. Racy<br />
cherry-cola flavors and rich fat tannins fill your mouth, along with truffles in the<br />
finish. The newer clonal plantings from this ranch are finally maturing and are now<br />
adding an immense amount of depth and complexity to this wine.<br />
aBlackberry, wild boysenberry, plum, sassafras and shitake mushroom aromas<br />
come to life in the glass. The rich and broad tannins accentuate the focus of berry<br />
and exotic spicy flavors across your palate. Young, yet sophisticated and sexy.<br />
Extremely cellar worthy.<br />
2005 Pinot noir Rochioli Riverblock Vineyard __________________ 109.99<br />
Inviting aromas of ripe wild blackberries, Rainier cherries, root beer, and Morel<br />
mushrooms permeate the nose. Sweet and concentrated flavors of ripe cherries,<br />
earth, spice and sassafras accentuate the ripe, lush tannins on your palate. The<br />
-Cellar Selections-<br />
concentration of fruit and toasty oak complement the long lingering finish in your<br />
mouth. The Riverblock vineyard has truly entered its prime.<br />
2005 Pinot noir Vista Verde Vineyard ______________________ 79.99<br />
Another excellent vintage from our vineyards in the Central Coast. The ripe aromas<br />
of cherry, raspberry, green tea, mocha and spice dominate the nose. This wine<br />
shows richer and broader tannins than the 2004 version, with a better overall<br />
concentration and depth of fruit. A long sweet cherry and silky oak finish complete<br />
this wine. Needs time to mature in the bottle.<br />
2005 Pinot noir Weir Vineyard __________________________ 84.99<br />
The aromas of wild cherries, blackberries, forest floor, Asian spices and minerals<br />
dominate the nose completely in this wine. Concentrated flavors of cherry, blackberry,<br />
and cardamom are complemented by the rich grape and toasty oak tannin in<br />
the finish. The sweetness in the finish makes this a much more complex wine than<br />
past vintages.<br />

Extremely concentrated flavors of raspberry, cassis, mocha and sassafras<br />
explode in your mouth. The aromas are similar, but with a high-toned perfumed<br />
edge to them. Big rich mouth-coating tannins give way to a long jammy finish.<br />
Like all of their zinfandels, this wine was aged in three-and four-year-old<br />

“The 2005 Pinot Noir Jessie Vineyard is similarly styled. The fruit leans more to<br />
the dark side of the spectrum and there is a splendid aromatic array of pain grille,<br />
allspice, leather, black cherry, and blackberry. The tannin and acidity of the vintage<br />
are well concealed by a deep and rich core of dark fruits. This lengthy wine will<br />

acidity, is firm and structured, and lighter in body in the style of the vintage. It also<br />
has a broad band of sweet fruit with serious depth and concentration to balance<br />
the structural components. It will have a long window of drinkability.” <strong>Wine</strong><br />

“Following in the footsteps of a legend can’t be<br />
easy, and Emmanuel Reynaud has been working<br />
under a microscope at Rayas for almost a<br />
decade now, since the death of his uncle Jacques<br />
in 1997. Any doubts I might have had about the<br />
current level of quality here were put to rest<br />
with the wines I saw this year.” Josh Raynolds,<br />
“…certainly I was critical of Emmanuel’s efforts in 98, 99, 00…actually<br />
very good wines but lacking the excitement of those vintages and his uncle’s<br />
magic…but he has been at Rayas 10 years now…and the tasting I had with<br />
him last week was the finest tasting I have had there since the era of Jacques<br />
Reynaud…so don’t count him out…” Robert Parker<br />

“Medium red. Stunning floral and red berry aromas emphasize<br />
raspberry, strawberry and fresh lavender. Bright, focused and<br />
pure, with vibrant red fruit and mineral flavors given an exotic<br />
twist by a hint of dried apricot. The sweet finish leaves a strong<br />
floral pastille impression. The freshness and precision of this<br />
wine are really captivating.” Steve Tanzer, rated 94/100<br />

of the richest, most honeyed Rayas whites I have tasted, and<br />
boasts good underlying acidity, beautiful purity, and loads of<br />

2005 Chateau d’Yquem }<br />
15.0 liter Bottle<br />
Rarely does one have the opportunity to obtain a unique piece of<br />
history. This is one of those times.<br />
PIERRE LURTON, WINEMAKER OF CH. D’YQUEM<br />
Chateau d’Yquem is surely the most famous white wine in the world, and is<br />
greatly sought after, especially in its greatest vintages. It’s ownership dates back over 400<br />
years and was a favorite of America’s first connoisseur, founding father, Thomas<br />
Jefferson, an ardent Bordeaux admirer who declared “D’Yquem” the best Sauternes.<br />
D’Yquem has traditionally been in 375 ml, 750 ml, 1.5 ml, 3.0 liter, and most<br />
recently in 6.0 liter format. The first vintage to be bottled in 6.0L was the 1982.<br />
However, because of the fabulous quality of the 2005, the Chateau has decided to produce<br />
a very limited number of 15.0L bottles called Nebuchednezzar, named after the<br />
king of Babylon. This is truly an historic event as the chateau may never bottle in this<br />
size again.<br />

Dominique Lafon<br />
The wines of Comte Lafon rarely need introduction since<br />
this is one of Burgundy’s top estates. They are renowned for<br />
producing some of the most sought after, complex and age<br />
worthy white wines from the village of Meursault.<br />
Les Heritiers<br />
du Comte Lafon}<br />
“The most famous white burgundies come from the Côte d’Or, but the best values in these wines<br />
hail from the Mâconnais, the region just to the south. There, young winemakers have begun bottling<br />
their own wines instead of selling to cooperatives. They are also breaking with tradition by fermenting<br />
and aging their wine in stainless steel rather than oak, thus giving the wine a fresher taste. The<br />
vintage of choice is 2005, but 2004 offers many pleasant surprises and well-stored 2002s are drinking<br />
beautifully. Prices run from $15 to $30 per bottle, with a few old vine offerings pushing into the<br />
$40-to-$50 zone…Famous for its white Burgundy, this domaine also makes a half-dozen or so<br />
offerings of 100% Chardonnay wines. They are crisp, delicious, and loaded with minerals, poached<br />
pears, and buttered citrus. They offer lovely drinking during their first four to five years of life.”<br />

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

145th Hospices de Beaune Auction<br />
2005 Vintage<br />
The Hospices de Beaune Auction is the key event on the<br />
Burgundian calendar; the 2005 met with a warm reception from<br />
buyers and observers alike. The final proceeds of the Hospices<br />
sale were 11% up on last year. “This is a top flight vintage,”<br />
declared Roland Masse, Manager of the Hospices domaine,<br />
introducing the sale. “It’s rare for reds and whites in a given year<br />
to be of equally high quality.” The whites have a richness and<br />
delicacy well out of the common run. The reds are superb, well<br />
built and really seductive. This is the result of a sunny and almost<br />
rain-free summer. The grapes attained optimal maturity and<br />
maintained exceptionally good physical health.<br />
RoLAnD MASSE,<br />
CELLAR MASTER oF THE<br />
HoSPiCES DE BEAunE<br />
“Burgundy is on a roll. After three consecutive successful vintages, the 2005 harvest may be<br />
the best yet.” <strong>Wine</strong> Spectator<br />
“As a very broad-brush assessment, almost everyone was raving about the quality of their<br />
2005. ‘Cleaner than 1996’ said one, ‘best raw materials I have ever seen’ said another and<br />
‘better than 1990, 1999 or 2002’ said a third. Many growers, even such notably meticulous<br />
veterans such as Jacques Seysses told me that ‘sorting tables were basically unnecessary. The<br />
grapes whizzed by like cars on the autoroute because there was literally nothing to remove save<br />
for the odd leaf or twig.’ While I have been going to Burgundy for too long to completely buy<br />
into this kind of hype, it’s clear that the excitement over the vintage was palpable and not only<br />
extended to the growers in both Côtes but to both colors as well.” Burghound.com<br />
“2005 is the best fruit I have dealt with in my 23 year wine career.” Etienne de Montille,<br />
Domaine de Montille<br />
“It looks like a really great year for whites and reds.”<br />
Michael Baldassini, president of the Burgundian <strong>Wine</strong><br />
Bureau<br />
“All eyes are on Burgundy this year. Initial reports suggest it will be a great vintage.”<br />

Two Sensational Meursaults…<br />
“Perhaps its rich color is too suggestive, but the luxuriance of a good Meursault can make you think that if<br />
gold were a flavor, it would taste like Meursault.” Matt Kramer, Making Sense of Burgundy<br />

Bouchard Aine & Fils<br />
Jehan Humblot wished to help the sick<br />
and donated his entire estate to the<br />
Hospital in 1600. This particular<br />
Meursault cuvee has been sold through<br />
the Auction now for over 400 years. It’s<br />
very difficult for many wines to be competitors such as that. All the vines<br />
here pre-date 1974, indeed some date back to 1936 and 1953.<br />
Felix Baudot, born 1796, was a great collector<br />
of paintings, stained glass, antique stela,<br />
archaeological finds, manuscripts and autographs.<br />
These objects were sold by public<br />
auction in Beaune in 1882, all proceeds coming<br />
to the Hospice de la Charité.<br />
This Cuvée comes in equal parts from Genevrières dessous and dessus.<br />
The vines are all fully mature or ancient. The youngest (23% of the cuvée)<br />
date from 1979, all the others being older - from 1944, 1948, 1956 and<br />
1964.<br />

The Gang of Four}<br />
“The tasting I conducted in Marcel Lapierre’s courtyard was one of the great<br />
experiences of my life. The Gang of Four, composed of Marcel Lapierre, Jean<br />
Foillard, Guy Breton (“Max”), and Jean-Paul Thevenet, are capable of producing<br />
superb, eye-popping Beaujolais. Readers with a propensity to believe that<br />
Beaujolais is not serious wine will find their preconceived notions shattered if<br />
they take the trouble to taste one of these Morgons…These Morgons are delicious<br />
young, and can age remarkably well, as evidenced by a recently tasted 1985<br />
from Marcel Lapierre. It is awesomely rich, full-flavored, extremely complex, and<br />
has evolved better than many of the Burgundies from the Côte d’Or…The art for<br />
Lapierre and the other three members of the Gang of Four is to respect the fruit.<br />
MARCEL LAPiERRE, JEAn-PAuL THEVEnET, GuY<br />
Unlike the vast majority of their neighbors in the Beaujolais, the Gang of Four<br />
“MAX” BRETon & JEAn FoiLLARD<br />
harvest moderate yields by hand, use little sulphur, if any, almost never chaptalise,<br />
and have never acidified. Furthermore, these wines are neither fined nor filtered…<br />
this philosophy can lead to some of the finest Beaujolais ever crafted.” Robert Parker<br />

Bordeaux<br />
}<br />
What more can we say about Gérard Perse that has not already been said in the<br />
winepress? Reviews are unvaryingly positive, praising his unprecedented success. It<br />
is indeed rare for wine writers to agree to such an extent…No one else in Bordeaux<br />
has ever achieved such recognition in so little time.<br />
What else can we say…other than that these wines have all the hallmarks of excellence:<br />
color, texture, strength, finesse, and complexity. They are also very much to<br />
the taste of people who like “classic” Bordeaux. One is tempted to ask the following<br />
question… Might we not be talking about “quintessiential claret”, benchmark wines<br />
epitomising everything a great Bordeaux should be?<br />
Has Gérard Perse discovered the Holy Grail - or has he simply set a new standard?<br />

while he was still working as a software developer.<br />
The huge success he enjoyed among his mailing list<br />

Oregon Pinot Noir Like No Other<br />
“The world of wines needs more people like Doug Tunnell.<br />
Having had a successful career as a television news foreign correspondent,<br />
Tunnell returned to his native Oregon and started<br />
a ‘farm,’ as he calls it. Certified organic since 1990, Brick<br />
House Vineyards produces Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and<br />
Gamay Noir (of Beaujolais fame) that have soul. A difficult<br />
quality to describe, a wine with soul (or ‘character’ if you prefer),<br />
is never squeaky clean (yes, obsessive/compulsive<br />
Californian winemakers may find hint of Brett or VA in some<br />
of Tunnell’s wines), smells and tastes as though it was made of<br />
the land (and not in a lab), and reveals both its terroir and its vintage. Not all wines<br />
with soul are successful, but when they are they can be awe-inspiring. Tunnell, a gentle<br />
bear of a man, is dedicated to producing soulful wines on his ‘farm’ in a manner that<br />
enhances nature, not harms it.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />

“Get on the bandwagon as David Ramey is on top of his game…David<br />
Ramey, who boasts an impressive resumé having worked during the<br />
long-gone glory days of Matanzas Creek, then moving on to Chalk Hill,<br />
Dominus, and Rudd Estate, has his own warehouse on the back streets<br />
of Healdsburg. It’s his and only his, and he is now turning out 15,000<br />
cases of seriously high quality wine, including four Chardonnay cuvées,<br />
and three red offerings. While prices are not cheap, they are realistic as<br />
purchasers get luscious mouthfuls of top-notch juice. Ramey reveals a<br />
disarming modesty, but he is as serious as they come. All of these unfiltered<br />
offerings represent tremendous expressions of their vineyard<br />
sources.” Robert Parker<br />

2004 Cabernet Sauvignon<br />
Jericho Canyon Vineyard<br />
“The 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Jericho Canyon Vineyard (a 1,730-case cuvee of 76%<br />
Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest Merlot and Cabernet Franc) has an inky dark ruby/<br />
purple color, a wonderfully sweet nose of espresso roast, fudge, blackberry, and cassis<br />
with a hint of incense and smoke. The wine is full-bodied, broadly flavored, opulent, and<br />
voluptuous, and that in itself seems to give the wine its current appeal, although I think<br />
this is a candidate for at least two decades of cellaring.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 94/100<br />
“Inky purple. Graphite and tobacco accented cherry and cassis aromas reminded me of<br />
top-end Saint-Julien. Focused, pure red and black currant flavors are energized by<br />
impressive mineral lift. This remarkably concentrated cabernet finishes with firm but<br />
harmonious tannins and explosive sweetness.” Steve Tanzer, rated 93/100<br />

Brilliant purple garnet with a dark dusty nose of Bing cherry, tobacco and<br />
green olive. A classically built Pinot Noir of some heft showing condensed ripe cherry riding<br />
on a structurally significant core of acid and well -formed tannin. An elegant food wine, made<br />
more for time than for cocktail parties.<br />

5500 cases produced<br />

44 99<br />
per bottle<br />
The <strong>2006</strong> Cumberland Reserve is a multi-appellation blend from the following vineyards:<br />
Bergstöm, de Lancellotti, Shea, Nysa, Durant, Temperance Hill, Anderson, Palmer Creek,<br />
Cherry Grove, Pelos Sandberg, Kalita, Lia’s Bishop Creek and Vigna Giovanni. Each vineyard<br />
harvested, vinified and barrel-aged separately until blending in Mid-August of 2007.<br />
The color is deep ruby red with pale reflections of pink at the rim of the glass. On the nose<br />
you will find bright and youthful aromas of bright red cherry, red currant, chocolate and sweet<br />
spices such as clove, cinnamon and vanilla. These aromas echo in the generous mouthfeel with<br />
bright red berry and high-toned sweet spices finishing with good acid and fine tannins and a<br />
healthy amount of ripeness, characteristic of this warm vintage.<br />

“With the skill, experience, and passionate pursuit of greatness, Lynn Penner-Ash created and<br />
continues to produce with our family one of the finest Dundee Hills Pinot Noirs. Perhaps a<br />
little less known is our vineyard manager, Andy Humphrey. Lynn and Andy’s unified goal is to<br />
produce the best fruit possible from our sites, as always contingent on what nature, climate, and<br />
soil allow.” John Carter, proprietor<br />
“The 2005 Dusky Goose continues to evolve in the bottle. The new oak (35%) is integrating<br />
nicely giving the wine hints of tobacco and cassis. The fruit is deep, dark and dense with aromas<br />
of crushed blackberries and hints of pomegranate. The mouth is also big sweet and full of ripe<br />
plums, a hint of licorice and a round rich mocha finish. The 2005 is surprisingly dark fruited<br />
with some black tea notes.” Lynn Penner Ash, winemaker<br />

“The mountain vineyard somehow manages not only to beautifully ripen the<br />
grapes to a great expression of fruit, but also preserves vital acidity and lends<br />
a firm layer of minerality. The result is a big, powerful wine that easily<br />
absorbs its lavish coat of new oak. The flavors are of candied pineapple tart.<br />
Meyer lemon mousse and vanilla custard, with a finish of sweet, crushed<br />
Asian spices. Perfect now, and just beginning to gather momentum. Drink<br />
through 2011, at least, with proper cellaring. Editor’s Choice.” <strong>Wine</strong> Enthusiast,<br />

“This estate is on fire…top-quality Burgundian-styled Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs…these are all<br />
noteworthy cuvées that remain somewhat under the radar. Moreover, price remains unbelievably fair<br />
for wines of such quality.” Robert Parker<br />
We’ve talked about the Walter Hansel <strong>Wine</strong>ry before, and much has been written about the quality of<br />
their wine. We had the honor of visiting with Stephen Hansel at his winery last summer to taste a few<br />
wines and talk about upcoming releases, all of which reinforced our opinion that this is one of the true gems in California!<br />
Stephen maintains a philosophy that good wine is made to be consumed, and to that end, he keeps the pricing on his wines<br />
very reasonable, particularly considering that all the fruit is estate-owned in a very desirable location in Sonoma. The wines<br />
themselves have tremendous character and elegance, due to the vineyard site and to Stephen’s preference for Burgundy and the<br />
influence that this has upon his winemaking decisions.<br />
We are fortunate to represent these wines and can highly recommend any of them to our customers.<br />

2005 Croft quinta de Roeda ______________ 49.99<br />
Quinta da Roeda is one of the most famous wine estates<br />
of the Doura Valley and has belonged to the house of<br />
Croft since 1875. The vintage portos have been prized<br />
since the nineteenth century when the poet Vega Cabral<br />
wrote, “If the wine district were a golden ring, Roeda<br />
would be the diamond.” Since its acquisition by The<br />
Fladgate Partnership in 2001, traditional wine making<br />
techniques have been reintroduced on the estate and<br />
major investments have been put into the estate’s vineyards.<br />
2005 Dow’s Quinta da Senhora da Ribeira ______ 49.99<br />
It is with great pleasure that Dow’s announces the release<br />
of its 2005 Vintage Port from Quinta da Senhora da<br />
Ribeira. Of the 2005 Vintage, only 550 cases of 12/75cl<br />
of the very finest wine from Senhora da Ribeira have been<br />
selected, all of which will be released ‘en primeur’ during<br />
the spring of 2007. Named after the small chapel between<br />
the Quinta house and the river, Quinta da Senhora da<br />
Ribeira is magnificently situated on the north bank of the<br />
river (directly opposite Quinta do Vesuvio) in the Upper<br />
Douro Valley. Originally acquired by Dow’s in 1890, the<br />
superb quality of the grapes produced at Senhora da<br />
Ribeira’s south-facing vineyards, has long made its Ports<br />
one of the principal components of Dow’s Vintage Ports<br />
in ‘declared’ years.<br />
2005 Fonseca quinta de Panascal ___________ 54.99<br />
Fonseca’s estate of Quinta do Panascal is one of the most<br />
famous of the historic Upper Douro estates and has long<br />
been regarded as one of the prime sources of quality port<br />
in the region. It was here where Fonseca brought Organic<br />
Cultivation to Port wine.<br />
2005 Symington quinta do Vesuvio __________ 59.99<br />
“The wines made at Vesuvio stand alone amongst all<br />
those produced in the Douro - year after year, the vineyard<br />
produces incredibly rich and concentrated Ports<br />
with exceptional balance and length. The 2005 Vintage<br />
has superb inky black color, and the nose is brimming<br />
with strong violet and wild flower notes. On the palate<br />
the wine is long, rich and complex, with layers of persisting<br />
blueberry, black currant and bitter chocolate flavors.<br />
All combine to create a velvet texture and a very long finish.”<br />
Rupert Symington<br />
2005 Taylor Fladgate quinta de Vargellas _______ 57.99<br />
Quinta de Vargellas is one of the most famous wine<br />
estates in the Douro Valley and considered one of the<br />
great vineyards of the world. The estate is renowned for<br />
its elegant but long lasting vintage portos, characterized<br />
by firm tannins, fine focused fruit and characteristic floral<br />
scent.<br />

Heidi Barrett<br />
Napa’s First Lady of <strong>Wine</strong>}<br />
“Think of a cult Cabernet, and there’s a good chance that Peterson Barrett is the<br />
winemaking hand behind the controls…<br />
In the realm of Napa cult wine, Heidi Peterson Barrett is the reigning queen.<br />
She makes or has made wine for some of the flashiest, most talked about wineries<br />
in California right now, a list that would include Screaming Eagle, Dalla<br />
Valle, Jones Family, Grace Family, Vineyard 29, Barbour, Paradigm, Showket,<br />
Lamborn, Amuse Bouche and Revana Family. Some of these are well-known;<br />
some aren’t yet, but will be. Virtually all of them are highly sought after, impossible<br />
to find and very, very expensive…<br />
Peterson Barrett spends so much time on her consulting projects that for<br />
years her own label, La Sirena (founded in 1994), went almost unnoticed. ‘Ten<br />
years have gone by and a lot of people haven’t heard about it,’ she says, and adds<br />
that she’s not much of a self-promoter. With La Sirena she makes less than a<br />
thousand cases of Cabernet, <strong>Syrah</strong> and a tiny bit of Dry Muscat.” <strong>Wine</strong> &<br />

The Incredible <strong>Wine</strong>s from Dr. Parce’s<br />
Domaine du Mas Blanc }<br />
DAn HAAS AnD JEAn-MiCHAEL PARCE<br />
The Languedoc-Roussillon area abounds with some of the greatest values in sweet and fortified sweet dessert wines in<br />
Europe. The most famous are those from Banyul (located on the coastline south of Perpignan) and Maury (located in<br />
the hillsides north of Perpignan). Both appellations require that these decadently rich, fortified wines be made from at<br />
least 50% Grenache. In the case of those wines entitled to the Banyul Grand Cru designation, they must be composed<br />
of at least 75% Grenache.<br />
The most famous of these wines are the great v from Dr. Parcé. They have a legendary reputation in France, but remain,<br />
to my surprise, largely unknown in the United States. Almost all of these wines can handle considerable aging and are<br />
remarkable for their value, particularly when compared with the soaring prices for vintage and tawny ports.<br />

Superb Sherries of<br />
Emilio Lustau}<br />
“Simply staggering in quality…what complex fine old Sherry is all about…Sherries such as these remain among the last<br />
great unknown bargains of the world. They must be tasted to be believed!” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate<br />
“Lustau stands at the very apex of the Sherry world.” Decanter Magazine<br />
“…as different from standard Sherries as chalk from cheese.” Clive Coates<br />
The House of Emilio Lustau, founded in 1896, is one of the largest independent, family-owned producers in Jerez<br />
today. In addition to their highly-acclaimed “Reserva Range” of typical sherries, they currently offer, in extremely<br />
limited quantities, ten “Almacenista” wines. These are carefully selected and drawn from small stocks of authentic,<br />
pure, unblended and completely dry, classical Sherries matured by the “Almacenistas” of Jerez and its surroundings, in<br />
southern Spain. As well Lustau is quite proud to offer their very rare “Landed Age” Sherries. Quantities are extremely<br />
limited in all cases.<br />
Almacenista Sherries<br />
“Over the last decade, Lustau has become<br />
noted for a number of specialty sherries, including<br />
the Almacenistas (meaning storekeeper or stockholder,<br />
pronounced al-math-en-eesta) - great old<br />
Sherries that Lustau buys from stocks produced and<br />
own by private individuals, bottled in very small<br />
quantities.<br />
There are about 54 Almacenistas in the Sherry<br />
district, acting as stockholders, some of which have<br />
their own vineyards. They all mature stocks of<br />
exceptionally high-quality old sherries.<br />
Whenever a shipper needs to improve a blend<br />
of Oloroso or Fino, he may obtain a butt or two<br />
from an Almacenista. The name of the Almacenistas<br />
never appeared on a bottle of Sherry until recently<br />
when the House of Lustau (itself an Almacenista<br />
until 1950) decided to release a select range of these<br />
fine, old unblended Sherries, which they purchased<br />
from various Almacenistas.<br />
A Designation such as 1/50 appears on the<br />
label and indicates that the bottling is from a Solera<br />
consisting of only 50 butts, with the smaller the<br />
number of butts the rarer the wine.” The Underground<br />

the beginning to the end and back to the beginning again. We have been<br />
producing wine from these vineyards since 1997 and with each year the fruit<br />
just seems to get better and more complex. With that said, the 2005 vintage<br />
has gone further then any other Fess Parker has gone. The black fruits are<br />
darker; the red fruit brighter, the mid-palate is almost a diving board to a<br />

with some minerality. A touch of smoke and a hint of peach skin from the<br />
Viognier that makes this wine just a little more then intriguing.” Jeff<br />

The Spectacular 2005 Vintage of<br />
Germany<br />
“Raimund Prüm of the Mosel’s estimable Weingutt. S.A. Prüm portrayed the vintage, which produced lower yields but high quality fruit that ripened in a nearperfect<br />
September and October, as ‘more than special…for me, the best-ever vintage.’ Katrina Stühler, representing Rheingau’s renowned Weingut Robert Weil,<br />
suggested that 2005 was comparable to 1921, 1953, and 1971—high praise indeed. A number of producers described 2005 as a combination of 2003’s very ripe<br />
fruit and 2004’s bracing acidity. Wilhelm Steifensand of the producer/importer powerhouse P.J. Valckenberg noted that the 2005 Spätlese and Auslese wines,<br />
although in short supply, are exceptional; the best will age for 25-plus years and are well worth seeking out.” Decanter<br />
“2005 Mosel Rieslings are magnificent on all levels. Many are comparing it to the great 1921 vintage.” Decanter<br />

The Spectacular <strong>Wine</strong>s<br />
of Joh. Jos. Prûm<br />
}<br />
“Prüm has been the great name in the Mosel since the 16th century. Manfred Prüm<br />
owns the finest of the family vineyards and his wines are legendary. He is openly secretive<br />
and no one is allowed in the cellars. When asked what his secret is, he replies, ‘quite<br />
simple - perfect grapes.’ Prüm has some of the best sites in Mosel (close to the river, where<br />
the mist encourages botrytis), a dedicated, experienced team in the vineyards, and original<br />
ungrafted vines over 100 years old that are trained so as to reduce the yield.<br />
Fermentation is in stainless steel vats, almost always with indigenous yeast and the<br />
wines are disturbed as little as possible to allow the natural carbon-dioxide to retain their<br />
freshness. Sadly, today the general demand is for last year’s Rieslings, but it is criminal<br />
to drink Prüm wines too soon. In 2003, the secondary aromas of his 1993 Wehlener<br />
Sonnenuhr Riesling Spätlese were in full ascendancy; with purity and filigree elegance.<br />
His wines have always captivated me, and the Wehlener Sonnenuhr lange Goldkapsel<br />
Auslesen are quite simply to die for…” Decanter<br />

#35 <strong>Wine</strong> of the<br />
Year <strong>2006</strong>!<br />
“The aroma is marked by matchstick now, but this is positively crunchy on the palate. The vibrant<br />
structure and clarity set the tone for its peach, citrus and mineral notes. It’s refreshing and alive, with a<br />
mouthwatering finish. This needs time. Best from 2009 through 2030. 1,200 cases made.” <strong>Wine</strong><br />
Spectator, rated 94/100<br />
“Sedate aromas of blueberry, honey, apple and mint. Pure and rich on the palate, with subtle nut oil and<br />
spice notes. Finishes with bright brown spices, succulent length and lovely lift and delicacy.” Steve<br />
Tanzer, rated 91/100<br />
“The wine bursts onto the palate with juicy fruit intensity, abundant spice, fruit skin pungency, and wet<br />
slate and salty minerality, leading to a long, eloquently thirst-quenching and lip-smackingly intense finish<br />
of apple, kiwi, black currant, flowers, and honey. This wine also exhibits a flattering, subtle sense of<br />
oiliness of texture. Look for some short term gain in clarity and then - based on a long-standing track<br />
record at this estate - two or more decades satisfying development in bottle.”<br />

Highly Rated and Very Much Sought After<br />
Chateauneuf du Pape<br />
Clos du Papes<br />
2004 Chateauneuf du Pape<br />
}<br />
“The 2004 Clos des Papes Chateauneuf du Pape has turned out to be one of the finest wines of the vintage…The<br />
wine is full-bodied, powerful, rich, and as accessible as the 2003, but slightly fresher and not as<br />
muscular and thick. Nevertheless, this is a top effort from the father and son team of Paul and Vincent<br />
Avril. This wine can be drunk now but can be cellared for 15-20 years.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 95/100<br />
}<br />
“Amazingly refined, with a pure, silky current of raspberry ganache and cassis flavors that glides along<br />
supple tannins. Hints of mocha, mineral and garrigue check in on the long, pure finish. Has serious structure<br />
for the long haul. All about balance and finesse. Drink now through 2030. 6,880 cases made.” <strong>Wine</strong><br />
Spectator, rated 96/100<br />
“Very rich, in fact one of the more powerful wines of the vintage, with excellent depth and sweetness. The<br />
finish is chewy and strikingly long. Avril compares this one to 1995 in quality.” Steve Tanzer, rated<br />
94/100<br />
Domaine du Pegau<br />
2004 Chateauneuf du Pape<br />
Cuvee Reservee<br />
}<br />
“A candidate for ‘wine of the vintage’ is the 2004 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee. Pegau did not<br />
produce a Cuvee da Capo in 2004, and the Cuvee Reservee has undoubtedly benefited from the inclusion<br />
of that stunning lot of wine…Meaty, full-bodied, stunningly concentrated and pure, and in need of 4-5<br />
years of cellaring, it promises to be one of the longest-lived wines of the vintage, lasting for a minimum<br />
of two decades.” <strong>Wine</strong> Advocate, rated 94+/100<br />

LAuREnCE FERAuD, PRoPRiEToR<br />
“A real powerhouse, with muscular layers of fig and black currant compote, backed by by braised beef,<br />
chestnut, tobacco and tar flavors. The long, mesquite-filled finish lets additional bittersweet cocoa and<br />
dark fruit notes linger, with lots of garrigue. Best from 2008 through 2025. 5,000 cases made.” <strong>Wine</strong><br />

MouniER SAouMA AnD RoTEM BRAkin<br />
In the much-lauded 2005 vintage, the wines from Lucien Le Moine are once again standing out for the quality of the fruit<br />
chosen by Mounier Saouma and his wife Rotem Brakin, and their meticulous approach to raising the wines. Since 1999<br />
Mounir and Rotem have gone from making the first vintage of wines under their Lucien Le Moine lable, to year after year<br />
receiving some of the very highest critical praise in Burgundy reviews from all major publications.<br />
This year Lucien Le Moine produced between one and three barrels each from around 50 Grand Cru and Premier Cru<br />
vineyards, each wine representing their work with a single grower. Mounir and Rotem work closely with the growers, and then<br />
pick out the very finest lots of juice right its neutrality. <strong>Wine</strong>s are all aged on their less, and are never racked during aging.<br />
Malolactic fermentation takes place over an unusually extended period, often 12 months or longer, providing conditions that<br />
require very limited use of SO2. Bottling is by gravity, by hand, and the wines are never fined, filtered, or pumped.<br />
Lucien le Moine’s achievement in the traditional, locked world of Burgundy has been truly remarkable, and the wines<br />
have become of the most sought after from the region.<br />

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<br />
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<br />
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,<br />
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.<br />

shipping as a quality control measure. <strong>Wine</strong> can be damaged by temperature<br />
extremes. We will not ship if the temperature in our area is above 75 degrees<br />
