Louis Roederer
Cristal
Champagne
"A suave customer, with hints of citrus, berry and coffee. Harmonious and refined,
with freshness and a bright structure. The finish shows a lot of potential,
with a mouthwatering aftertaste. Better than previously reviewed. Drink now
through 2030." (WS)
Wine Spectator: 92 pts.
"Roederer’s 2002 Cristal is still in its infant, fresh stage. Subtle notes
of pears, flowers, spices, mint, minerals and oak are woven into a cashmere-like
frame of extraordinary grace and elegance. This beautifully-sculpted Champagne
possesses notable clarity but with the additional depth of fruit that is characteristic
of this vintage. It is a gorgeous, seductive Cristal of the highest level. In
2002, Cristal is 60% Pinot Noir and 40% Chardonnay with 10 grams of dosage.
20% of the wine was fermented in oak. This is Lot : L030351A107809. This bottle
was disgorged in June 28th, 2007. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2032." (WA)
Wine Advocate: 96+ pts.
"($289) Light, bright gold with a steady bead. Orange, ripe pear, red berries
and white flowers on the nose, with complementary notes of lemon, honey, sweet
butter and smoky minerals. Ripe citrus and orchard fruit flavors are braced
by gentle minerality, picking up subtle baking spice and buttered toast notes
with air. Surprisingly generous at this stage, with smoky mineral and floral
qualities on the finish. This is more open-knit than the comparatively elegant
2000 and appears ready to drink." (IWC)
International Wine Cellar: 91 pts.
"55% Pinot Noir; 45% Chardonnay. Its Pinot Noir portion notwithstanding,
this wine has a crisp, chalky, lightly citrusy, lightly toasty aroma that is
more than a little bit suggestive of an elegant Blanc de Blancs. And perhaps
that is its secret. It is an incredibly refined yet deep wine whose suggestions
of roasted soy and caramel are kept as complex nuances within a well-filled,
refreshing, crisp set of flavors and a graceful, lengthy aftertaste. It occupies
a comfortable middle ground between the quiet refinement of Dom Perignon and
the bold approaches of the top Bollinger and Krug wines." (CG)
Connoisseurs' Guide: 96 pts.
"This is an exceptional wine, as is the vintage. The fruits—grapefruit,
crisp red apple—balance with a fine yeasty character. There is a great depth
of flavor, the fruits going in a pure line of freshness. The one problem is
that it is much too young, the result of the demand from the market for the
next vintage. Age this wine for at least four years." (WE)
Wine Enthusiast: 98 pts.
"If a wine could ever make you want to pull the top down on your '68 Ferrari
convertible, rip off the rearview mirror and take off, this is it. It has a
different kind of energy than the '02 Cristal Rosé, which is more ethereal,
like strawberries at the right hand of some ancient Gallic god. This is more
insolent, brash, earth bound. All the scents and flavors seem to emanate from
limestone, as does the acidity, which hits at the front of the mouth and powers
through the wine with the kind of solar energy that lifts mist off the white
chalk on a cool morning in Cramant. The wine goes on for miles. It's already
irresistible, and will only improve with ten, 20, 30 and 40 years of age." (W&S)

2007
Valley of the Moon
Zinfandel
Sonoma County
"Very nicely focused blackberry
fruit filled out by notes of sweet spice and hints of blueberry pie start this
full-bodied, balanced offering out in the right direction, and its somewhat
fleshy, full and rich flavors keep it going. It is relatively open for a wine
of the vintage, and while it can certainly benefit from a few years of bottle
aging, it does not demand it. Tasty and versatile, it will be equally at home
with pastas and with pork roasts. GOOD VALUE" (CG)
Connoisseurs' Guide 91 pts.
Just under half of the Zinfandel grapes used to make the 2007 Valley of
the Moon Sonoma County Zinfandel came from the winery’s Sonoma Valley estate
vineyard. These vines, including the “old vine” block planted in the 1940’s,
benefit from an historically recognized and unique “banana belt” microclimate
which runs through this area. Hot, sunny afternoons mitigated by cool evening
Pacific fog characterize the perfect climatic conditions for growing the finest
Zinfandel in the region. This 2007 blend also uses Zinfandel grapes from Sonoma
County’s Dry Creek Valley, adding jammy and spicey flavors characteristic of
Zinfandel wines from the area. Petite Sirah from our estate vineyard completes
the blend and adds depth to the fruit and structure to the finish. Jammy and
briary berry aromas are accented with vanilla and baking spices. Ripe, rich
blackberry jam with notes of black currant on the palate; complimented by red
and black pepper spice and dark chocolate.

Two Hands
Shiraz
Bella's Garden

"Ripe, fleshy
and generous, but not nearly over the top, with gorgeous cherry, pomegranate,

long, supple finish. Best from 2010 through 2017. 6,500 cases made." (WS)
Wine Spectator: 94 pts.
"($60) Bright purple. Explosively perfumed bouquet of raspberry, blueberry,
spicecake, potpourri and anise, with a subtle mocha undertone. More serious
on the palate, where chewy cherry-cola and licorice qualities are complicated
by notes of violet pastille and black cardamom. Large-scaled, fat and spicy,
with strong finishing grip and supple tannins." (IWC)

Louis M. Martini
Cabernet Sauvignon
Sonoma County
"I am also including their 2007
Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma, a 290,000-case blend of 92% Cabernet Sauvignon and
the rest the other Bordeaux varietals. An exquisite value, this is a seductive,
fleshy, fruity wine with excellent texture, body, and balance. Lots of cassis
as well as silky tannins characterize this top bargain pick! Drink it over the
next 5-7 years." (WA)
Wine Advocate: 90 pts.
The 2007 Sonoma County Cabernet Sauvignon was crafted from several of Sonoma
County’s most prestigious appellations and blended seamlessly to bring together
the unique characteristics of each, creating a superbly balanced Cabernet Sauvignon.
The wine offers many layers, featuring aromas and flavors of red cherry, blackberry
and fresh sage with an underlying dry creek dustiness. Subtle herbal notes are
complemented by additional layers of chocolate and vanilla, resulting in a complex,
yet easy drinking, wine. The grapes were harvested at optimal ripeness during
September and October, then de-stemmed but not crushed upon arrival at the winery,
leaving 20% - 30% whole berries in the fermenter. This process retains the grape's
varietal character and minimizes bitter tannin extraction in the wine. Extended
skin contact occurred for an average of 6–8 days for maximum extraction of color
and flavor. The must was fermented in a mix of rotary, punch down, and static
fermenters at an average of 85-88° F for about 5-7 days. A variety of yeast
strains were used to ensure the development of desired flavor and aroma characteristics
and 100% of the wine completed malolactic fermentation.

Chateau Quinault L'Enclos
Saint-Emilion
"Beautiful chocolate and blackberry aromas and flavors follow through to
a full body, with soft, round tannins and a long, long finish. Best after 2011."
(WS)
Wine Spectator: 92 pts.
"The well-known winemaking consultant, Dr. Alain Raynaud, is the proprietor
of this estate. The 2005 Quinault l’Enclos is a pure, elegant, stylish wine
from a blend of 70% Merlot, 17% Cabernet Franc, 7% Cabernet Sauvignon, and an
unusual 6% Malbec. This highly-focused wine exhibits a deep ruby/purple hue
in addition to a beautiful bouquet of black raspberries, blueberries, camphor,
spring flowers, and spice box. With superb concentration, a hint of minerals,
and a lovely textured mouthfeel, it should be approachable in 5-6 years, and
age easily for two decades or more." (WA)
Wine Advocate: 94 pts.
"Medium ruby-red. Sexy aromas of cherry, minerals, iron and smoked meat.
Juicy and sappy for the year, with lovely energy to the concentrated flavors
of cherry, minerals, smoke, flowers and earth. Very sophisticated, shapely wine
with a long, ripely tannic finish throwing off notes of smoke, minerals and
iron." (IWC)

Neyers
Chardonnay
Carneros District
Napa Valley
"Complex and layered, offering a full-bodied mix of toasty vanilla oak, ripe
pear and fig, with touches of floral and spice. Ends with a complex finish.
Drink now through 2012." (WS)
Wine Spectator: 91 pts.
"In many ways the most accessible of the Neyers wines, and one that is long
on deep, sympathetically soaked, ripe-apple fruit, this balanced bottling is
slightly rounded and almost supple in feel with a fine sense of weight and substance.
It is not in the least soft nor in any way sluggish, and, if a tasty and slightly
complex wine now, it is nicely balanced and has the depth to keep well past
the near term." (CG)
Connoisseurs' Guide: 89 pts.
We've racked up a string of successes with past vintages of our Carneros
District bottling of Chardonnay. Our 2007 Carneros Chardonnay was scored 93
Points by the Wine Spectator, and called, among other things, "delicious". We'll
settle for that -- anytime, any wine. There's no great secret about what we
do with Chardonnay at Neyers Vineyards: we rely on traditional French winemaking
practices that in most instances have been in use for over a century. The fruit
is completely protected from vine to winery. Although machines are increasingly
used in the industry, our grapes are hand harvested. They are delivered to the
winery only in the morning when temperatures are cooler. They are transported
in small bins that hold only 1000 pounds. The juice is gently pressed from the
grapes and transferred by air pump to our French oak barrels, which are custom-made
from three-year-air-dried wood. The primary and secondary fermentations occur
naturally, using native micro-flora found on the grape skins. The wine is removed
from the barrels a year later for the first and only time, when we bottle. This
year's Carneros District Chardonnay looks to extend our successful run. The
fruit used here is from vineyards owned and farmed by the Sangiacomo, Donnell,
Yamakawa and Schrem families. The soils are all a combination of clay and loam.
The wine is characterized by its exotic tropical fruit aromas and luscious,
round flavors. There's a white peach component in the aftertaste, and the finish
includes a touch of grilled bread. Delicious!

Garnacha Crianza
Lot #8
Carinena
Story: Garnacha is a grape native to Spain; this wine is from a region of
Spain with a wine-making tradition that dates back to the times of the Roman
Empire. This wine is estate grown and has been aged 6 months in French oak which
allows it the Crianza designation. This lot is one of the best deals we have
found and a personal favorite we are happy to share!
Taste: A complete wine, with aromas of forest fruit shrouded in chocolate, vanilla,
milk, coffee, nuts and wood spice. The wine has a broad palate of earthy blue
fruits and integrated oak; well put together, ripe and nicely open with a lingering
spicy finish.

Columbia Crest
Syrah
Reserve
Columbia Valley
"The 2006 Syrah Reserve was sourced from several AVAs. It was co-fermented with
1.5% whole berry Viognier and 1.5% Grenache and aged for 30 months in equal
parts of new French and American oak. It emits an aromatic array of smoke, game,
bacon, floral notes, blueberry, and a hint of chocolate. Medium-bodied, smooth-textured,
and succulent, this lengthy, pleasure-bent Syrah will drink well for another
6-8 years. At the asking price, it is a superb value in stylish Syrah. Columbia
Crest, owned by Ste. Michelle Wine Estates, has long been known for the quality
of its value-priced wines. The current collection will only enhance the winery’s
reputation. Columbia Crest is usually thought of as a producer of value-priced
wines selling for under $20. However, their upper-level, limited-production
wines merit serious attention as they, too, are value-priced compared to the
competition" (WA)
Wine Advocate: 90 pts.
"This Rhoné style Syrah includes a touch of Viognier and Grenache, delivering
aromatics of slight spice, white pepper, blueberry and sweet orange peel. Mouth-filling
flavors of dark chocolate with hints of roasted coffee bean round out the notes
of fruit and oak and lead to a distinctive blueberry-raspberry finish." -Ray

"The 2007 Estate Chardonnay has a wonderful nose that has you instantly

nicely to a weighty, honeyed middle with touches of almond, hazelnut, lemon
and spice. With great persistency on the finish, this Chardonnay offers a.....Michael
Brajkovich MW produced a brilliant array of 2007s. The cooler growing season
meant that they harvested one week earlier than 2006 with lower yields and sugar
levels, high acidity levels but with greater expression of mineralilty. If you
have never tried these wines, then it is time you see for yourself what New
Zealand is capable of. All his Chardonnays can be drunk immediately but do resist
temptation and save some bottles to drink over 5-6 years (or more) as they can
age beautifully. Just don’t ask Michael if he could bottle your allocation under

Insignia
Napa Valley
"Teasing with its floral, spicy cherry, wild berry and currant aromas, this
is full-bodied, firm and structured, tight and focused, offering glimpses of
what lies ahead with its complex mix of flavors and tightly wound tannins. Yet
its finesse and refinement are apparent on the finish. Needs time. Cabernet
Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Best from 2011 through 2018. 16,900 cases made."
(WS)
Wine Spectator: 94 pts.
"Since 2004, 100% of the Bordeaux varietals used in the Insignia proprietary
blend have been from estate vineyards. There are just under 15,000 cases of
the 2006 Insignia, a blend of 95% Cabernet Sauvignon and 5% Petit Verdot. Made
in a dense, full-bodied, muscular style, it is less charming than the 2005,
with high tannin, extract, and richness. The blackberry and cassis characteristics
are accompanied by notions of damp earth, subtle oak, licorice, and forest floor.
It, too will benefit from 3-4 years of bottle age, and should drink well for
two decades or more." (WA)
Wine Advocate: 94-96 pts.
"($200; bottled in February '09) Good full medium bright ruby. Fresher on
the nose than the Napa bottling, offering cassis, bitter chocolate and roasted
herbs. Then very ripe and dense but suave, showing good energy and a slightly
clenched middle palate. The tannins are serious and granular, but here there's
plenty of supporting mid-palate material. Still a bit awkward following the
recent bottling; this may well merit a higher score three or four years down
the road." (IWC)
International Wine Cellar: 90+ pts.
"95% Cabernet Sauvignon; 5% Petit Verdot. Already amazingly seductive with
wonderfully rich aromas of sweet oak, cocoa and fully expressed fruit making
a first-rate introduction, this riveting young wine in no way lets up on the
palate and delivers deep, multi-faceted flavors that combine ripeness, sweet
oak and very precise fruit in near-perfect proportion. As is often the case
with Insignia bottlings, it is so beautifully balanced that it invites early
drinking, and, while we do not condemn giving in to its charms, we also would
lobby strongly for patience as its best lies years down the line." (CG)

B Cellars
Blend 25
Napa Valley
"The inky/ruby/purple-hued 2005 Blend 25 (61% Cabernet Sauvignon and 39%
Syrah) offers a big, sweet nose of blackberries, chocolate, coffee beans, and
plums. Full-bodied with excellent fruit, low acidity, and a broad, savory mouthfeel,
it should provide plenty of pleasure during its exuberant youth. This relatively
new producer’s debut vintage was 2003, but these are the first wines I have
tasted from B Cellars. Proprietors Jim Borsack and Duffy Keys have hired Kirk
Venge as their consulting winemaker, and the wines are clearly made in a fruit-forward
style that should satisfy consumers and restaurants looking for immediate drinkability.
Two of their flagship wines are their Blend 24 and Blend 25. The Blend 24 is
normally dominated by Cabernet Sauvignon, with some Merlot, followed by Sangiovese
and Petite Sirah. The Blend 25 is usually a two varietal blend of two-thirds
Cabernet Sauvignon and one-third Syrah. The third blend, the Blend 26, is 100%
Cabernet Sauvignon from three vineyard sites. Two-thirds come from the Stagecoach
Vineyard above the Silverado Trail, 23% from the To-Kalon Vineyard in Oakville,
and 11% from the Dr. Crane Vineyard in St. Helena." (WA)

"Juicy raspberry and red currant
fruit is woven with slightly firm toast. Cocoa, raisin and licorice notes peek

Wine Spectator: 88 pts.
"The 2007 Clos de Los Siete, a wine made by the peripatetic Michel Rolland,
remains one of Argentina’s finest values. It is a blend of 48% Malbec, 28% Merlot,
12% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 12% Syrah. Dark ruby-colored, it offers up a fragrant
bouquet of mineral, violet, black cherry, and black currants. This leads to
a medium- to full-bodied wine with both elegance and stuffing. Ripe, intensely
flavored, and well-balanced, it will evolve for 1-2 years but can be enjoyed
now and over the next 6 years." (WA)
Wine Advocate: 90 pts.
"($20; 48% malbec, 28% merlot, and 12% each cabernet and syrah) Bright,
full ruby-red. Crushed black fruits, mocha, bitter chocolate, licorice and smoked
meat on the nose. Sweet, penetrating and firm-edged; aromatic in the mouth but
tightly wound today. I like this wine's balance of sweetness and acidity. The
tannins are firm but not quite hard. This energetic wine needs time to soften."
(IWC)
International Wine Cellar: 89+ pts.
"Notes of black fruits, hints of tobacco and sweet spice come together in
this blend of malbec, merlot, cabernet and syrah. It's juicy and round, the
muscular structure holding the fruit in check. An ideal match for game. Clos
de los Siete is Michel Rolland's project high up in Mendoza's Uco Valley." (W&S)
Wine & Spirits: 91 pts.
A collaborative project by seven producers under the banner of Michel Rolland,
this is a blend of composed of Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah.
Very dark in the glass, this is not a shy wine. The dominant feature here is
sweet, lush, dark fruits. The oak, which gives a spicy sheen, is very much in
the background. There's some structure here, with grippy tannins hiding under
the sweet fruit, and overall the wine is savory in character.

"The white wines begin with the 2008 Eroica Riesling, a collaboration between
Germany’s Ernst Loosen and Chateau Ste. Michelle. The grapes are sourced from
a number of sites and several AVAs. Because of the winery’s vast holdings, this
superb Riesling can be made in quantity (27,000 cases) while maintaining exceptional
quality. Light straw-colored, it has a lovely, captivating perfume of acacia,
honey, mineral, melon, and tropical aromas. Crisp, light- bodied (11.5% alcohol),
concentrated, and vibrant, this just off-dry (1.77% RS), Kabinett-styled Riesling
has the balance to evolve for several years and should drink well for a decade."
(WA)
Wine Advocate: 91 pts.
"($24) Very pale straw-yellow. Subtle aromas of citrus peel, ginger, quinine,
linden tea and fresh herbs. Intense stone fruit flavors are bright and tactile,
with a slight impression of residual sweetness leavened by vibrant acids. Tasty,
complex riesling with very good lift on the firm aftertaste." (IWC)
International Wine Cellar: 91 pts.
"A collaborative effort between Chateau Ste. Michelle and the Mosel's Ernst
Loosen, Eroica consistently ranks as one of the West Coast's finest Rieslings.
As this latest version so aptly demonstrates, it is also very much deserving
of patience. While it presently flirts with elements of Bartlett pears, peaches
and a hint of lime zest, it is still a firm, tightly wound youngster that needs
to unfold. Its exceptional balance ensures that any wait will be well worthwhile,
and, while we would enjoy it right now with a scallop or two, we plan on setting
some aside to be enjoyed as it fills out and opens up over the next several
years. GOOD VALUE" (CG)

The word ‘Amplus’ comes from Latin for important, sophisticated, distinguished,
and honorable. This line represents the union of tradition and distinction of
its Italian ancestors with the innovation of new times. These are modern wines
with tremendous complexity and elegance, with whites that feature all the potential
of the new Leyda Valley and reds with the tradition of Peumo in the Cachapoal
Valley. Amplus Carignan comes from carefully tended 100-year-old Carignan vines
in Peumo.
Color: Deep, violet-ruby-red.
Aroma: Intense fruity aromas of cherries, raspberries, and blackberries complimented
by rich notes of dark chocolate, nutmeg, and roasted coffee beans.
Palate: Well-structured and full of character with an abundance of creamy tannins,
bright and refreshing acidity, and plenty of fresh fruit on its delightfully
long, elegant finish.
Pairing Suggestion: Perfectly pairs with waygu, pork, lamb and game meat. Delicious
if drink with seasoned dishes and ripe cheeses.
