REVIEWERRobert M. Parker, Jr.The Wine Advocate’s founder and critic-at-largePRICE*$305-$999TYPEREDRATING100Beausejour Duffau2010 St.-EmilionThe 2010 is a morestructured, masculineand steely version ofthe utterly compelling2009. Tasting like blackraspberry confiture with subtle notesof graphite and crushed chalk alongwith enormous floral notes, the winedisplays a slightly smoky character buta voluptuous attack, mid-palate andfinish. It is full-bodied and massivelyendowed, with every componentperfectly etched in this extraordinarywine, which should be drinkable afterseven-eight years of bottle age andlast for a half-century or more. This isbrilliant stuff. Composed of 73 per centMerlot, 23 per cent Cabernet Franc and4 per cent Cabernet Sauvignon fromyields of 21 hectoliters per hectare, thealcohol is the highest ever registered atBeausejour-Duffau, coming in at 15 percent, but remarkably, the pH is modestand the acids relatively elevated, givingthe wine an astonishing freshnessand precision that is hard to believe inview of its power, density and length.Anticipated maturity: 2025-2055+.* All quoted prices are in US$PRICE$100TYPEREDRATING100Turnbull Wine Cellars2010 Cabernet SauvignonFortuna Vineyard OakvilleThe 2010 CabernetSauvignon FortunaVineyard is perfection! Thisextraordinary wine offersup notes of crème de cassis, graphite,truffles, blueberries and blackberriesas well as a colossal mouth-feel withno sense of heaviness, layer uponlayer of fruit and glycerin, astonishingpurity and a finish that lasts 50seconds. A magnificent effort thatshould turn out to be one of the greatmodern classics of Napa Valley, itshould age effortlessly for two tothree decades. Drink 2013-2043.VETERAN VINES OF NAPA VALLEYPRICE$120TYPEWHITERATING95Peter Michael 2010Chardonnay CuvéeIndigène Knights ValleyIn 2010, the ChardonnayCuvée Indigene standsout for its exotic bouquet.Passion fruit, lychee,nectarine, wild flowers and peachesare some of many notes that comealive in the glass. Surprisinglyweightless for a Peter MichaelChardonnay, the Cuvée Indigèneimpresses for its balance and superbsense of proportion. In 2010 theCuvée Indigène is a model of purityand elegance. Even better, it shouldenjoy a broad window of drinkability.Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022.PHOTO LISA PERROTTI-BROWN0 6 9
