Robert Craig Affinity 2007

Aroma: Open, inviting perfume of dark black fruit blossoms in the glass, underlain with sweet cassis and lovely touches of blueberry, violets, roasted coffee and spicy oak. Flavors: An abundance of rich, deep black and blue fruit wraps around a core of polished tannins, intermixed with black currant, dark cocoa ... more

Moet & Chandon Dom Pérignon 2000

Fresh, crystalline and sharp, the first nose reveals a unique vegetal, aquatic world, with hints of white pepper and gardenia. The wine’s maturity then makes a gentle appearance before exhaling peaty accents. In the mouth, the attack is direct, a prelude to a lusty roundness that seems to curl up ... more

Far Niente Cabernet Sauvignon 2006

Bright with ripe, purple fruits, this wine will impress with complex, layered aromas of black licorice and briar patch. The silky entry progresses along the palate and gives way to dense, velvety chocolate and toast. Full-bodied and concentrated throughout, the wine lingers on with a long, layered finish.  more

Charles Heidsieck Brut Réserve

To the eye: A beautiful, pale golden hue, with very fine yet vivacious bubbles. To the nose: First, the impression of pastry shop. Then come the floral notes: Lime-tree in full bloom, violets, lilac, all of which seem to resonate with the blueberry notes and those, even more concentrated, of ... more

Opus One Napa Valley Red 2006

Not surprisingly, the 2006 is a bigger, more muscular, less charming effort displaying unbridled power, full-bodied richness, and notes of new saddle leather, black fruits, roasted herbs, and burning embers. Powerful and rich with sweet tannin, low acidity, and more structure and density than the 2005 as well as less ... more

Argyle Spirithouse Pinot Noir 2006

This is a refined, sneaker of a wine! The aroma is bright with an appealing purity. Look for luscious red fruit, like raspberry and cherry made deeper by fresh earth, new leather, and a hint of black pepper spices. The flavor is pure and, dare I say it, "elitist". The ... more

Segura Viudas Brut Reserva

A Reserve Cava which perfectly accompanies any meal from start to finish. Pale straw yellow in colour. Elegant and harmonious on the nose. Fresh and well balanced on the palate; ample flavours; the predominance of Macabeo is obvious. Very persistent fine mousse. Best served at a temperature of 7-8º C. more

Taylor Fladgate Tawny Port 20 year old

Another magnificent and finely-balanced tawny of outstanding richness and complexity. The additional ten years of aging produces a fine balance between the rich, raisiny fruit and the nutty, honeyed finish - a taste to linger over. This rare port is traditionally enjoyed as a dessert wine or at the end ... more

Vine Cliff Los Carneros Chardonnay 2006

The aroma displays a complex array of fresh pineapple and mango, sweet lemon, with hints of peach jam and apricot. Cinnamon, clove, and sweet vanilla add richness to the underlying scent of honeysuckle and creamy caramel. The palate has juicy peach, lychee and grilled pineapple flavors at entry, then displaying ... more

Domaine Carneros Brut Cuvée 2005

Vintage dated each year, the Domaine Carneros Brut Cuvée represents the best of Carneros pinot noir and chardonnay made into a classic sparkling wine. The appellation is 100% Carneros. The Brut was aged in the bottle for three years before release. It will continue to develop further depth and complexity ... more

Kathryn Hall Cabernet Sauvignon 2005

The 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon (primarily estate fruit) reveals a deep ruby/purple color as well as sweet, tarry, black currant, and chocolate notes with hints of wood smoke and spice box. Deep, layered, and impressive, it is undeniably the finest wine made by this winery, which heretofore was a notorious under-achiever. ... more

Maldonado Family Vineyards Los Olivos Vineyard Chardonnay 2006

The wine is very rich just as the fruit was; our richest, ripest wine since 2003. The wine nonetheless has excellent acidity and very clear, strong minerality. The greatest strength of the wine is in the finish built on the twin foundations of acid and minerality. These two balance the ... more
