    2009
    Wine Spectator: 87

    Tight and intense, built around a core of cedary oak, dried currant, herb, mineral and tobacco that are chewy and rustic, with gutsy tannins. Drink now through 2017. 100,000 cases made. –JL

    2010
    The Wine Advocate: 89

    The 2009 Vermentino di Sardegna Costamolino is a clean, precise white that seems to have acquired an extra level of textural richness in this vintage. Beautifully delineated throughout, the Costamolino shows off lovely balance and a pure, crystalline finish

    “Friendly cherry, damson plum and herb notes are lined with a hint of lavender, followed by a lightly dusty finish. Drink now."

    Stewed berry, tobacco and green coffee bean aromas lead to a full body with chewy tannins and a long finish. The palate is structured and reserved. A smoky, fruity wine

    FILUS MALBEC 2008

    2008
    The Wine Advocate: 89

    “It exhibits an enticing nose of cedar, black cherry, black raspberry, plum, and incense. Plush on the palate, it has layered flavors, plenty of spicy, savory notes, enough ripe tannin

    Connoisseur's Guide to California Wine: 88 Full Review

    ZACA MESA BLK BEAR SYRAH 2006

    2006
    Connoisseur's Guide to California Wine: 88

    Nominally lower in alcohol (14.5%) than its mate above, this one nonetheless smells and tastes riper with a mix of dried grape and sweet spices surrounded by rich, dark chocolaty notes. Fleshy in palatefeel and soft in its underbelly, the wine is deep in flavor if somewhat less generous in Syrah fruit than its mate. Give it a try with savory, long-cooked meats.

    SEQUANA SARMENTO P NOIR 6PK 2009

    2009
    Wine Enthusiast: 91

    Winemaker James MacPhail brings his touch to this ripe, delicious Pinot Noir. It explodes in raspberries and cherries, but it’s no more fruit bomb. Shows fine acidity and even a dusting of tannins that provide structural integrity. Really nice now, and should develop over the next 4–6 years.

  • TITOS VODKA 80'

    Wine Enthusiast: 95 Full Review

    TITOS VODKA 80'

    Wine Enthusiast: 95

    The initial nosing passes find subtle traces of charcoal and roasted grain which are followed by sweeter aromas of sweet grain mash and pipe tobacco. Entry is smoky and charred; the midpalate is oily, moderately viscous, semisweet and robust. Ends on a delicious oily, bacon-like note. A very well-made American pot still vodka.

  • LA VIEILLE FERME WHITE

    LA VIEILLE FERME WHITE

    Wine Spectator: 86

    “Fresh and unadorned, with tasty white peach and green plum notes backed by a hint of bitter almond on the finish. A textbook introduction to Southern Rhône whites. Drink now."

    VALLE REALE VIGNE NUOVE MONTEPULCIANO 2010

    2010
    The Wine Advocate: 88

    The 2009 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo Vigne Nuove is a fresh, unoaked red with beautifully plump, juicy red fruit that layers nicely into a delicate, feminine finish. Floral notes add lift and freshness. This is a steal for the money

    PHELPS INSIGNIA 2006

    2006
    International Wine Cellar: 90

    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 serios and granular, but here there's plenty of supporting mid-palate material. This may well merit a highter score three or four years down the road.

    CAMPANTE VINA REBOREDA 2009

    2009
    International Wine Cellar: 88

    Pale peach skin color. Musky pear and pit fruit aromas complicated by a hint of herbs. Juicy but a bit loose-knit, offering bitter fruit skin and herbal flavors and a late jolt of lemon zest. This wine's mix of richness and energy should make it very flexible at the table. (Bonafide Wine Estates, Seattle WA)

    Wine Enthusiast: 94 Full Review

    PHELPS INSIGNIA 2006

    2006
    Wine Enthusiast: 94

    This is so strong and fruity, so oaky, so tannic, it just overwhelms the palate in its extreme youth. Just massive in blackberries, black currants, coffee, cocoa, dried herbs and 100% new, smoky-sweet French oak.

  • LABOURE POMMARD TAILLEFER 2007

    Wine Enthusiast: 88 Full Review

    LABOURE POMMARD TAILLEFER 2007

    2007
    Wine Enthusiast: 88

    This is a warm wine, bursting with red berries and a fresh acidity. A good, dry core of tannins promises some aging. On the finish, a layer of well-judged wood joins the solid fruit.

    KENDALL JACKSON MERLOT VR 2009

    2009
    The Wine Advocate: 89

    Another clear upgrade in quality is the 2007 Vintner’s Reserve Merlot. This is even stronger than the 2006, which was an upgrade over earlier efforts. Elegant mocha and berry fruit intermixed with some herbs, coffee, and spice make for a delicious, round wine that is actually a blend of 95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, all from Sonoma. Drink it over the next 2-4 years.

    Wine Enthusiast: 92 Full Review

    ZACA MESA ROUSSANNE 2007

    2007
    Wine Enthusiast: 92

    "Bone dry, ultra-crisp in acidity, and lean in mineral flavors, this barrel-fermented, lees-aged Roussanne is the opposite of rich. But it's enormously elegant, and its leanness contains subtle hints of Meyer lemons, grapefruits, toast, yeast and cold, hard steel. A sommelier's dream for pairing with very complex dishes."

  • FREI BROS SAUV BLANC 2009

    2009
    The Wine Advocate: 88 Full Review

    FREI BROS SAUV BLANC 2009

    2009
    The Wine Advocate: 88

    Frei’s delicious, fairly-priced 2008 Sauvignon Blanc exhibits copious notes of melons, figs, and crisp citrus in a medium-bodied, exuberantly fruity, head-turning style. It should drink well for 1-2 years.

    JABOULET-PERRIN COTE ROTIE 2007

    2007
    Wine Spectator: 92

    “Dark and alluring, with inviting crushed black currant, blackberry and black cherry fruit that’s liberally laced with mouthwatering black tea, incense and maduro tobacco notes. The long finish has nice grip. Big and mouthfilling, especially for the vintage. Drink now through 2018.”

  • MAIN ST MERLOT

    MAIN ST MERLOT

    Wine Enthusiast: 85

    For the price you get a very nice, drinkable bottle of wine. It’s dry and full bodied, with proper flavors of berries, cherries, currants, mocha and spices. This is one to stock up on for parties. Production was 10,000 cases. - S.H. (6/1/2010) - 85

    VILLEMADE CHEVERNY BLANC 2008

    2008
    International Wine Cellar: 88

    Light yellow-gold. Honeydew, peach and dried pear on the nose. Broad and fleshy but surprisingly dry as well, offering juicy pit fruit and melon flavors and a late note of peppery herbs. I like this wine's blend of fleshiness and vivacity and would bet it will be very flexible with food.

    An elegant style, exhibiting citrus, honey and hazelnut notes in a linear profile. Has a bright structure and a biscuity aftertaste.

    Wine Enthusiast: 94 Full Review

    ZACA MESA BLK BEAR SYRAH 2006

    2006
    Wine Enthusiast: 94

    “This is always a great bottling, and Zaca Mesa’s 2006 Black Bear Block goes to the head of the line in newly released California Syrahs. It’s an enormously rich wine, filled to the brim with pure blackberries, currants, cocoa and peppery-spiced oak, and the finish turns to milk chocolate. But it’s dry. The 2006 vintage was a very good one for Zaca Mesa’s various Syrahs, and this is their best.”

    KENDALL JACKSON CAB SAUV GR RES 2008

    2008
    The Wine Advocate: 92

    The 2007 Grand Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon is superb. Dense creme de cassis notes intermixed with fruitcake, coffee bean, and tobacco leaf are found in this fat, fleshy wine, which displays excellent purity, density, and richness. It should drink well for 15 or more years.
