The Ojai Vineyard 2006 Pinot Noir Clos Pepe Vineyard

Parker Review:
The 2006 Pinot Noir has some subtle earthiness and smoked herbs intermixed with sweet cherries as well as hints of raspberry and strawberry. It is a sappy, crisp wine to drink over the next 3-4 years. (2008-2012)

Tanzer Review:
Bright red. Sharply focused red fruit aromas are deepened by smoky minerals and fresh rose. Sappy raspberry and cherry preserve flavors are impressively lithe yet at the same time muscular, with clean, brisk mineral snap on the back end. Graceful, pure and utterly delicious right now.

2007 Shafer Red Shoulder Ranch Chardonnay Carneros 750ml

Wine Spectator: 93 Points
"Clean, crisp and flinty, with green apple, lime, quince and spicy hazelnut notes that are pure and focused, gaining depth on the finish. Drink now through 2012. 5,500 cases made"

Robert Parker: 90-92 Points
"The 2007 Chardonnay Red Shoulder Ranch is a return to the brilliance of this cuvee. Excellent acidity backs up considerable tropical fruit notes offered in a medium to full-bodied, zesty, substantial format. There is little evidence of oak in either its aromas or flavors. Drink it over the next several years as this is not a style that ages longer than 3-4 years." Read More...

2007 Becker Estate Pinot Noir

Today, with the chalky soils in the area, Becker produces some of Germany’s finest Pinot Noir. In fact, for the past five years, the Reserve Pinot Noir has been awarded “Germany’s top Pinot Noir” in the German Wine Guide – Gault Millau. Since Fritz Jr. has joined the estate, the white wines, especially the Riesling and Pinot Blanc, have seen significant improvements in quality. The estate comprises 43 acres and produces 9,000 cases a year. It is planted with 40% Pinot Noir, 11% Pinot Gris, 9% Pinot Blanc, 22% Riesling and 18% other varietals such as Gewürztraminer and Silvaner.

Tasting Notes: Nose is gamey with notes of tobacco and cherry. Delicate and very nicely detailed for a basic Pinot. This fruity and elegant Pinot Noir is grown in the southern Pfalz region just north of Alsace, around the German-French border on limestone soil perfectly suited to Pinot Noir.

2007 Marraso Cabernet Sauvignon

The age old legend speaks of a cave high in the Andes mountains and of an ancient city named Marraso, which is protected by the spirit of an ancient horse, whose image was found painted on the wall of the cave. The people of the city named the image El Caballo Antiguo, the ancient horse, and believed the symbol had mystical properties. Since that day no one has found any sign of the cave or the city, but the fruit from the Read More...

Grayson Cellars Wines: 2008 Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Chardonnay

Winemaker’s Notes:

The 2008 Grayson Merlot exhibits a beautiful purple garnet color. The aromas show rich complexity with opulent ripe, dark fruit off black currants, blackberries and a hint of violets and chocolate oak. This medium bodied wine shows soft tannins with a finish of mixed dark fruits and a light toasty finish.

The 2008 Grayson Cabernet Sauvignon shows a dark color with Read More...

2007 Ghost Pines Cabernet

#37 in our Top 100 Catalog

Few wines make it to our Top 100 two years in a row, but Ghost Pines knocked one out of the park again. Last years Cab was leafy, earthy, slightly leathery, but the new 2007 Cab shows off how versatile Cabernet in California can be by transforming into a more fruit forward, velvety Cab. Napa blended with Sonoma fruit, the Ghost Pines Cab shows the great characteristics that each region has to offer.

"The young winemakers for Ghost Pines didn’t start the trend of 'multi-AVA' labeling, but they sure got it right. These hotshot winemakers believe that blending is the highest expression of the winemaker’s art. Going outside the lines of the single-AVA system gets the best grapes from the best places into the bottle. This Cab has power Read More...

2006 Tamber Bey Deux Chevau Cabernet Sauvignon

#57 in our Top 100 Catalog

This is an absolutely fantastic wine for under $40. Winemaker Thomas Brown's creation for 2006 showcases the finest attributes of the vintage. A blend of red and black fruits with ripe, silky tannins, creating the most approachable but concentrated Cabernet to date. The Yountville elegance runs within the wine, with a kind of essence of cassis and black currant quality shot throughout.

According to the Wine Spectator: "Minty bay leaf, spice and herbal notes join dried currant and black cherry fruit in this elegant, supple, refined, full-bodied effort, gaining grace and delicacy on the finish. Drink now through 2015. 1,000 cases made."

Las Rocas Garnachas

2007 Las Rocas de San Alejandro Garnacha:

90 Points Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
There are 18,000 cases of the delightful 2007 Las Rocas Garnacha, a wine sourced from Calatayud vineyards ranging in age from 70 to 100 years. Dark ruby in color, it delivers alluring aromas of spice box, mineral, cherry, and black raspberry. Layered on the palate, it has superb depth, succulent flavors, and a pure, lengthy finish. It will provide pleasure over the next three years. The Las Rocas Read More...

Dragonette Cellars Wines: 2006 Pinot Noir, Sta. Rita Hills 2008 Sauv Blanc, Santa Ynez

2006 Pinot Noir, Sta. Rita Hills: 90 Point Wine Spectator

“Pure, complex aromas of black cherry, wild berry and raspberry are tight, focused and structured, yet supple in texture. Full-bodied and long on the finish, where a hint of mineral and black licorice add dimension. Drink now through 2014. 144 cases made.” Read More...

Four Sisters Wines: 2006 Shiraz and Merlot, and 2008 Viognier

Named after Trevor Mast’s four daughters, the Four Sisters range of premium quality wines consists of Sauvignon Blanc, Shiraz, Chardonnay, Viognier and Merlot. The innovative label was originally created and designed by Trevor’s eldest daughter, Daliah.

2006 Shiraz: Classic Australian shiraz with blackberry, plum, and spice on both the nose & palate but with soft tannins for a balanced wine which is ideal with a wide range of food but particularly great with red Read More...

2004 Meyer Family Cellars Mendocino County Syrah 750ml

The 2004 syrah boasts aromas of ripe raspberry and blueberry, intermingled with sweet vanilla bean. Patient barrel-aging has further integrated the wine’s tannins, while preserving fruit and adding a subtle spiciness to its aroma. The structure and pronounced acidity of this syrah allow it to pair beautifully with rich meat and pasta dishes, including cheese ravioli, spit-roasted pork, and lamb shanks. Once open, this wine develops very slowly in the glass, so allow a relaxing meal to enjoy it fully.

Mathilde Liqueurs 375ml

Made in France using over a hundred years old family recipes, Mathilde liqueurs are produced with traditional methods. To ensure exceptional quality, it is important to select the finest ingredients. Therefore top quality fruits are carefully hand selected from the best growing areas.

Mathilde Pear is made with Williams Bon Chrétien pears, which are grown mainly in the orchards of the Anjou region, in the Loire valley. The region is well known throughout France for its mild climate, with a good balance between sunshine and rainfall that enables the fruit to ripen well. Read More...

2005 David Fulton Petite Sirah

One of the more robust years, it is bigger, fatter with a little more fruit and grip than the previous year. Highlighted by black raspberries, cinnamon, licorice and cloves, complexity is brought to the nose through a dark purple, meniscus encased, and cerise colored pool. A myriad of flavors follow: mint, black pepper, nutmeg, black cherries, back tea, dark Bakers chocolate, allspice, cassis and not the least of all, blueberry notes. We can still enjoy a round, firm, chewy but Read More...

2004 Parusso Mariondino Barolo 92 Point Robert Parker: The 2004 Barolo Mariondino reveals the essence of tar, roses, violets, plums, prunes, herbs and sweet toasted oak. It is a delicate, pristine Barolo that offers outstanding length and notable harmony. The firmer tannins that are the hallmark of this site are evident, but they are superbly balanced by the wine’s Read More...

2006 Dancing Coyote Albarino

On the heels of our popular 2004 and 2005 vintages which sold out, our 2006 Albarino stands on its own. Fresh and vibrant tasting, this dry wine is intriguingly aromatic with great acidity. We are one of just a handful of California growers that produce Albarino, a native of Spain.

Taste: Clean and fruity. On the nose it has aromas of passion fruit, ripe citrus, honey, and peaches. In the mouth it has a very good structure, being full bodied and with a fresh acidity, which makes it very well balanced.

2006 Martellotto Demetria Vineyard GSM, Santa Ynez This is a true Rhone blend of six grapes from a biodynamically farmed vineyard north of Los Olivos. Frequently in Cote Rotie, vignerons will coferment white grapes with red wine grapes to raise the acidity and aromas. This wine has touches of Viognier, Marsanne, Read More...
