Bordeaux
Gerard Perse
What more can we say about Gérard Perse that has not already been said in the winepress? Reviews are
unvaryingly positive, praising his unprecedented success. It is indeed rare for wine writers to agree to
such an extent…No one else in Bordeaux has ever achieved such recognition in so little time.
What else can we say…other than that these wines have all the hallmarks of excellence: color, texture,
strength, finesse, and complexity. They are also very much to the taste of people who like “classic”
Bordeaux. One is tempted to ask the following question… Might we not be talking about “quintessiential claret”, benchmark wines epitomising everything a great Bordeaux should be?
Has Gérard Perse discovered the Holy Grail - or has he simply set a new standard?

Pesquera
“Some have dubbed this rich concentrated
wine the Chateau Petrus of Spain.” The Wine
Alejandro Fernandéz, proprietor
2004 Pesquera
“The 2004 Tinto Pesquera (Crianza), from a great vintage, is opaque purple with a fragrant nose of lead
pencil, earth, black currants, and blackberry liqueur that jumps from the glass. This is followed by a sexy
wine with layered blue and black fruits intertwined with ripe tannins and good acidity. This superb, beautifully balanced effort should evolve for 4-6 years and drink well for another 10-15.” Wine Advocate, rated
93/100
“Deep ruby. Ripe blackberry and plum on the nose, with an almost roasted quality. Then bright, sweet and
fresh on the palate, with vibrant blackberry and cassis flavors, notes of minerals and licorice and a silky
texture. For such depth and power of flavor there’s striking purity and finesse. Sweet, energetic and persistent on the finish, with an endless procession of fresh dark berry flavors. A wonderful vintage for this
wine.” Steve Tanzer, rated 92/100

Aile d’Argent
Ch Mouton Rothschild’s
White Wine
The 10-acre Aile d’Argent vineyard, situated on the Château Mouton Rothschild estate, consists of
three separate parcels characterized by sandy, gravelly soil. The mix of classic Bordeaux grape varieties is adapted to the characteristics of each parcel. Semillon accounts for 47% of the total, Sauvignon
Blanc for 51% and Muscadelle for 2%. The average age of the vines is 13 years, and the vineyard
density is 8500 vines per hectare. Traditional methods are used to cultivate the vines and the vineyard is grassed. Harvested by hand, the grapes are sorted on the vine and collected in small open
baskets, as for Château Mouton Rothschild. Depending on the vintage and the grape variety, the
grapes are either pressed directly into a vertical press (60%) or macerated on their sides prior to
pressing and fermentation (40%). This allows the chosen grapes to fully express their aromatic
potential. The must is chilled to between 8 and 10 C and slowly begins to ferment in stainless steel
vats where the temperature is kept constantly below 18 C. When half-fermented, the Semillon and
Sauvignon musts are transferred to oak barrels (50% new, 50% one year old). Fermentation continues, and may last for several weeks. The maturing process then begins. The wine is left on fine lees
to nourish it and give it roundness, length and complexity. After the different varieties have been
blended, the wine is bottled during the autumn following the harvest.
Annual production is approximately 10,000 bottles.
Aile d’Argent is made with a view to ageing and will keep for 5 to 10 years, or 10-15 years for the
best vintages.

Gaja
Angelo & Lucia Gaja
“Italy’s most fascinating and revolutionary winemaker.” Robert Parker
“Angelo Gaja makes the most exciting wines in Italy. He has few equals in terms of his sheer determination
and dedication to great winemaking.” Wine Spectator
“Understand the man and you will understand the wines. Behind the exuberance, behind the dominating
personality, behind the Latin passion, behind the skilled manipulation of the domestic and export market
and the media there is a poet and a philosopher, a man of sensitivity and taste, a thinker and a perfectionist. And behind the wines, underneath the still atypical cleanliness and vibrant expression of Nebbiolo fruit,
in addition to the oakiness and the concentration, is the element that sets Gaja wines above the rest; breed.
You can see it in the Chardonnay; you can see it in the Barbera. Above all you can see it in the single-vineyard Barbaresco. This is triumphant, artistocratic Nebbiolo. Wine of great individuality - and wine which for
all its ‘modernity’ has not lost its soul.” Clive Coates

2005 Syrah Russian River_ _________________________________ 54 .99
“Aromas of black fruits, tapenade, ground pepper, and spice box emerge from the 2005
Syrah Russian River (1,400 cases). There is some herbaceousness underneath the fruit,
but the wine is full-bodied, rich, complex, and comes across like a Crozes-Hermitage on
steroids. Drink it over the next 5-6 years.” Wine Advocate, rated 90-93/100
Piedrasassi
2004 Syrah____________________________________________ 49.99
“Made by Sashi Moorman, the winemaker at Stolpman Vineyards, this 100% Syrah
emerges from the limestone-based Harrison/Clark Vineyard. Fermented in Taransaud
barrels and bottled with no fining or filtration, the 2004 Syrah is a deep, rich wine
offering loads of smoky blackberry and cassis fruit as well as hints of creosote, tar, and
incense. This heady, opulent 2004 can be drunk young or cellared for 7-8 years.” Wine
Advocate, rated 92/100

2005 Syrah Estate_ ______________________________________ 29.99
97 % Syrah, 3% Grenache
The Estate Syrah is the flagship wine produced by Stolpman Vineyards, representing
nearly 40% of the winery’s production. It showcases their unyielding commitment to
producing the finest wine, even on a somewhat larger scale. Sustainably farmed vineyards, carefully hand harvested fruit and thoughtful winemaking are the blueprint, that
they follow every season. This precedent allows them the opportunity to generate a
finished wine of texture, length and purity. 2500 cases produced.
2005 Syrah Hilltops Estate_ ________________________________ 39.99
“Opulent, rich, with terrific fruit, impressive glycerin, and a heady, spicy finish with no
hard edges, it is a brilliant, seamlessly constructed wine to drink over the next 7-8 years.”

2006 Syrah Three Creek Vineyard_____________________________ 39.99
“Tensley continues to be one of California’s most reliable producers of high quality Syrahs from Santa Barbara…formerly a serious soccer player who played for an
American team while living in Bordeaux, is a self-taught winemaker. During his time in
France, he was motivated to spend time in local vineyards, and upon his return to the
States, at age 21 he began working at the Fess Parker Winery. His philosophy embraces
basic artisinal winemaking techniques, including hand-harvested fruit, fermentation in
small one and a half ton fermentors, punching down, some cluster usage depending
on the vintage conditions, and little racking or intervention until the wines are bottled
unfined and unfiltered…I tasted through a number of the 2006 vineyard cuvées, and
they all looked slightly lighter, but very fruit-forward. They will probably be more
charming in their youth, without the weight, density, and structure of the 2005’s.” Wine

Burgundy
“The quality of the 2005 vintage for red Burgundy is stupendous. It is simply the best
young vintage I have tasted in my 17 years working in the wine business. While the
wines are still resting in bottle or barrel in Burgundy cellars, I urge you to place your
pre-arrival orders with fine-wine retailers to claim a share of this treasure trove.”

Nicolas Rossignol
Nicolas Rossignol
“Unprepared for the enormity of his range of Pinots (eight Volnays, four wines each from
Beaune and Pommard, plus myriad other appellations) and their multiple locations, I was
regrettably unable to taste all of the 2005s from this domaine. But based on the consistent excellence of what I sampled - not to mention prices well below those commanded
by Volnay’s most celebrated vignerons - consumers should hasten to claim whatever
they can from this vintage, which Rossignol characterizes as ‘complete, combining the
richness of 1999 with the finesse of 2002.” Wine Advocate

“From near the Epenotes cru comes a rarity in Burgundy, namely a ‘mere’ village 2005 Beaune. A lovely deep, black-edged
color reflects these old vines and their nutty, stony meaty, black-fruited flavor concentration. Blackberry, beet root, toasted
walnut, and tobacco feature prominently on a silken, expansive and impressively dense palate, which this wine stains thoroughly while displaying just a bit of post-bottling tightness in its finish.” Wine Advocate, rated 90+/100
“Vinified with around a third whole clusters, the 2005 Savigny-les-Beaune Les Fourneaux smells of cooked blackberry and
raspberry with overtones of underbrush and smoke. Rich and substantial in the mouth, it finishes with generous fruit but firm
tannins, accentuated by its recent sulfuring and bottling.” Wine Advocate, rated 90+/100
“From young, clonally-diverse vines in la Bouchere – a very chalky, rocky site high above the village – Rossignol’s 2005 Volnay
is loaded with deep, dark black cherry fruit, cherry pits, salty, chalky, iodine- and iron-like minerality. Incipiently velvety in the
mouth, it promises to blossom with 3-5 years in the bottle, which it seems not at all disturbed by having just been put into.
Here is the spirit of Volnay in a great vintage at a modest price: run, don’t walk!” Wine Advocate, rated 92/100
“From a deeper site just below Caillerets and north of the Santenots du Milieu, a 2005 Volnay Chevret offers generous ripe
blackberry, a simple, salty mineral expression, and a compelling richness and sheer fruit intensity. Dark forest floor notes are
only hinted at, although this is almost certain to offer more complexity after allowing it 5-7 years to shut down and recover.”

“From 20 and 50 year-old vines (the younger touching d’Angerville’s parcel and the older the 60 Ouvrees) Rossignol’s 2005
Volnay Caillerets largely leaves behind fruits and berries for a tour of stony terroir on the back of a wild animal. Iodine, chalk
and cherry pit pungency and bitterness, invigorating saltiness, tart hints of red currant, fascinating florality, and gaminess
make for a complex young Pinot, dense and full of fine tannin yet already hinting at creaminess. The length and multifarious
mineral dimension harbor grand cru pretensions, and I would not hesitate to hide bottles away for 8-10 years.” Wine Advocate,
rated 94/100

Jean Lallement
Jean-Luc Lallement makes only three wines, one of
which-the rosé- he just inaugurated last year (he
releases only about 1,700 cases annually). Most of this
Montagne de Reims estate is in Verzenay, with the
rest in Verzy; 80 percent of the vines are Pinot Noir,
20 percent Chardonnay. Lallement keeps the dosage
low, usually at extra brut levels; his wines are rich and
minerally, combining strength and finesse.

The first Champagne bottle to bear the Milan name
was produced in 1864 by Charles Milan. Today,
Caroline and Jean-Charles Milan are the fifth generation to manage the family’s 15 acres in the grand cru
Oger. Milan’s wines are classic Oger in profile, with the
flowery delicacy of Côte des Blancs Chardonnay but
not he austerity of Le Mesnil. At their best, the are as
charming as Chardonnay gets.

Marc Hébrart founded this estate in 1962, and his son,
Jean-Paul, took over in 1997. He farms 32 acres -in
Mareuil-sur-Aÿ and Aÿ in the Vallée de la Marne, and
in Chouilly and Oiry in the Côte des Blancs. Most of
the vineyards are Pinot Noir (70 percent); the balance
is Chardonnay. These are rich wines that emphasize
place over fruit, showing their origins with precise
detail. Try them if you want to become familiar with
the terroir around Mareuil-sur Aÿ and Aÿ.

A. Margaine
Gaston Margaine founded this 16-acre estate in VillersMarmery early in the 20th century, today run by his
great-grandsons, Bernard and Arnaud Margaine.
The premier cru commune of Villers-Marmery is
unusual in the Montagne de Reims, as it is dominated
by Chardonnay rather than Pinot Noir. Margaine’s
vineyards are 90 percent Chardonnay and 10 percent
Pinot, all in Villers-Marmery. Chardonnay gives their
wines elegance and finesse, but the soil signature is
completely different from the Côte des Blancs, with an
earthier, fuller-bodied richness.

Pierre Gimonnet
There have been Gimonnets growing vines in Cuis
since 1750. Pierre Gimonnet began bottling estate
wines in the 1930s, and today Olivier and Didier
Gimonnet, Pierre’s grandsons, carry on the family tradition. Their 64 acres of vines are all planted to
Gaston Chiquet, proprietor of Gaston Chiquet
serge Billiot,
proprietor of H. Billiot Fils
Chardonnay, in the communes of Cuis, Cramant and
Chouilly; 70 percent of the vines are older than 35
years, with the oldest vines more than 80 years old.
Gimmonet wines are refined, chalky and intense,
balancing the rich complexity of the grands crus
Cramant and Chouilly with the racy austerity of the
premier cru Cuis. Old-vine depth and concentration is
often evident in these wines.

Pierre Peters
The Peters family had been growers in Champagne for
more than a century when Pierre Peters founded this
house in 1940. François Peters now heads this 43-acre
estate, regarded as one of the best in Le Mesnil. The
most significant holdings-30 acres-are in the grand
cru of Le Mesnil-sur-Oger. The rest are spread around
Oger, Avize, Cramant and Vertus.
The wines are sleek and racy, emphasizing finesse
over body. They always undergo malolactic but never
taste like it. If you can find the Cuvée Spéciale, it’s
made from a single plot of 70-year old vines in Le
Mesnil.

Vilmart & Cie.
“Vilmart’s wines have been called ‘poor man’s Krug’
for their combination of power and style-at half the
cost of real Krug.” Food & Wine
Based in Rilly-la-Montagne de Reims, Champagne
Vilmart was founded by Désiré Vilmart in 1890. His
grandson, Renan Vilmart, took over the company in
1930 and later handed it over to his son-in-law, René
Champs, in 1962. Since 1990 René’s son, Laurent,
has been in charge of the estate. He farms 27 acres
with organic methods; 60 percent of the vines are
Chardonnay, 40 percent Pinot Noir.
Vilmart’s wines are rich and complex, with a depth
and resonance unusual in Champagne. All are fermented in wood, either in large oak casks or in small
barrels; Champ’s careful attention to viticulture produces wines of concentration and vinosity. Note that
the Grand Cellier is to their basic Brut NV, but rather
a special selection falling between the Brut and the
three prestige cuvées.¡

Brilliant purple garnet with a dark dusty nose of Bing cherry, tobacco and green

2006 Bergstrom
Pinot Noir Cumberland Reserve
5500 cases produced
Josh bergstrom, proprietor & Winemaker
of Bergstrom
The 2006 Cumberland Reserve is a multi-appellation blend from the following vineyards: Bergstöm, de Lancellotti, Shea, Nysa, Durant, Temperance Hill, Anderson, Palmer
Creek, Cherry Grove, Pelos Sandberg, Kalita, Lia’s Bishop Creek and Vigna Giovanni. Each
vineyard harvested, vinified and barrel-aged separately until blending in Mid-August of 2007.
The color is deep ruby red with pale reflections of pink at the rim of the glass. On the nose you will find
bright and youthful aromas of bright red cherry, red currant, chocolate and sweet spices such as clove, cinnamon and vanilla. These aromas echo in the generous mouthfeel with bright red berry and high-toned sweet
spices finishing with good acid and fine tannins and a healthy amount of ripeness, characteristic of this warm
vintage.

“With the skill, experience, and passionate pursuit of greatness, Lynn Penner-Ash created and continues to produce with our family one of the finest Dundee Hills Pinot
Noirs. Perhaps a little less known is our vineyard manager, Andy Humphrey. Lynn and
Andy’s unified goal is to produce the best fruit possible from our sites, as always contingent on what nature, climate, and soil allow.” John Carter, proprietor
“The 2005 Dusky Goose continues to evolve in the bottle. The new oak (35%) is integrating nicely giving the
wine hints of tobacco and cassis. The fruit is deep, dark and dense with aromas of crushed blackberries and
hints of pomegranate. The mouth is also big sweet and full of ripe plums, a hint
of licorice and a round rich mocha finish. The 2005 is surprisingly dark fruited
with some black tea notes.” Lynn Penner Ash, winemaker

Domaine des Baumard
“Florent Baumard is a brilliant winemaker. If he had been born a Californian,
Burgundian, or Bordelais, wealthy vineyard owners would be standing in line to
employ his services as a consultant. Moreover, consumers would be begging retailers for increased allocations of his wines. A young, handsome, ever-smiling sort,
Baumard quietly fashions some of the world’s most complex dry and sweet wines in
the sleepy village of Rochefort-sur-Loir.” Wine Advocate
“Florent Baumard is one of the world’s best winemakers, and you probably don’t
know him. That’s because he produces Chenin Blanc from the Loire Valley, an alltoo-often overlooked region. Perhaps that will change following his most recent
performance, in the exceptional 2005 vintage.” Wine Spectator

2005 Quarts de Chaume_ _________________________ 69.99
“A jaw-dropper, with orange blossom, persimmon, fig and quince
flavors that remain remarkably bright and light thanks to riveting
acidity and a superfine, minerally finish. Pure and perfectly balanced,
it refuses to break down in the mouth. The best since the monster
1995.” Wine Spectator, rated 98/100
“From arguably the finest sweet wine vineyard in the Loire, here is a
wine that is deceptively fresh on first taste. Then the huge richness
kicks in, balanced with blood oranges, white fig and pear flavors, and
a mineral character. Complex, this needs many years to develop;
superb.” Wine Enthusiast, rated 95/100
2005 Coteaux du Layon Clos Ste. Catherine_ ____________ 49.99
“Rich and ripe, with glazed fruit, apple tartine and fig paste notes
backed by rich texture and a long, creamy finish, where lingering fig
and green almond notes keep pulling you back. Combines power and
precision. 600 cases made.” Wine Spectator, rated 96/100
“Clos de Sainte-Catherine is at the summit of the sweet wines of
Coteaux du Layon. This comes from a great year for sweet wines, and
that shows in the impressive balance between intense sweetness and
acidity. It’s smooth and crisp at the same time, a great combination.
Age for 10 years and more.” Wine Enthusiast, rated 95/100
2005 Coteaux de Layon Cuvée Le Paon_________________ 29.99
“Really enticing, with quince, pear, persimmon and fig aromas and
flavors, but it’s never heavy, just pure and refined with a lovely,
caressing finish. The acidity is really buried here—should cruise in the
cellar. Drink now through 2027. 1000 cases made.” Wine Spectator
rated 95/100
“Peacock (paon) cuvée is a deliciously showy wine, powered with
intense sweetness, almost syrup. The counterbalance to all this
sweetness is the pear, apricot and citrus elements, which go with the
dry layer of botrytis to leave a wine that it has a crisp, fresh aftertaste.”
Wine Enthusiast, rated 93/100
2004 Coteaux du Layon Carte d’Or______________ 19.99
“Lots of mineral and candied lime hold the fig and glazed pear flavors
at bay. Long, stony finish. Drink now through 2009. 2,080 cases
made.” Wine Spectator, rated 91/100
2004 Coteaux du Layon Clos Ste. Catherine________ 39.99
“Great purity and drive, with clean-cut quince, fig and mineral notes
from start to lengthy, fresh finish. Beautiful. Drink now through 2012.
580 cases made.” Wine Spectator, rated 93/100
“The wines from this renowned single vineyard always show well
young. The 2004 has a forward, apricot sweetness backed by herbal
and nutty notes that race through the palate in subtle, quiet length,
the mineral aromas lasting long after the fruit flavors are gone.” Wine
& Spirits, rated 90/100
2004 Quarts de Chaume_____________________ 59.99
“Ripe and stylish, with fig, pear tartine and green plum flavors gliding
across a lovely, creamy palate. Its accessibility belies the vibrant
minerality on the finish for now, but this should be cellared a bit. Best
from 2008 through 2015. 1,415 cases made.” Wine Spectator, rated
94/100
“Baumard’s Quarts de Chaume continues to be a reference point for
the appellation. This demonstrates a striking purity, seeming to
derive more intensity from concentration of fruit rather than botrytis.
The prominent schiste character anchors the apricot and mandarin
orange flavors through a long and palate staining finish.” Wine &
Spirits, rated 94/100
2002 Quarts de Chaume_____________________ 59.99
1997 Quarts de Chaume_____________________ 79.99
1997 Quarts de Chaume___________________ half 39.99
“Baumard’s 1997 Quarts de Chaume has been tasted five times over
a six month period and it is a remarkably consistent wine. With
extended aeration it appears to gain in focus and freshness, a trait
that is surprising in the generally heavy and super-ripe 1997 vintage.
Caramelized minerals and honeyed aromas are exuded by this dense,
oily, jammy wine. On the palate, marzipan, candied grapefruit, and
tropical fruits can be detected within its viscous, yet fresh, core. This
massive offering will require some cellaring before reaching its peak.
Drink it between 2003 and 2020.” Wine Advocate, rated 94/100
“Rich and soft. A puzzling, almost musty aroma gives way to more
lush and appealing flavors of vanilla, spice, candied lemon, marzipan
and honey. Very sweet, with a velvety texture and just enough underlying acidity to keep it lively. Hard to resist.” Wine Spectator, rated
91/100
2004 Savennieres_ ________________________ 22.99

silky-textured frame of great class and elegance, showing outstanding presence on the palate and fine tannins to round

“From a partnership between Michel Chapoutier and the owner of Paterno (Wines International), the Terlato family, the 2005 Shiraz/Viognier is an exotic, fleshy, seductive vin de plaisir. Exotic litchi nut, apricot, black cherry, and
cassis characteristics are found in this fleshy, soft, deliciously fruity, supple-textured Aussie red.” Wine Advocate, rated

2005 Tamarack Cellars Firehouse Red (Washington State)__________________________________________ 17.99
“Tamarack Cellars’ winery is located by the Walla Walla airport on a former military base. It offers some of the best red
wine values among all the Washington wines in my tastings. The portfolio begins with the 2005 Firehouse Red, a blend
of 31% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Syrah, 24% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, with the balance Sangiovese, Carmenère,
and Malbec. Dark ruby-colored with a nose bordering on exotic, the wine offers ripe, sweet fruit, complex flavors, and
a stylish elegance, all at a very nice price. Drink this tasty wine over the next 8-10 years.” Wine Advocate, rated 90/100
2006 Tensley Blanc Camp 4 Vineyard (California)________________________________________________ 22.99
“Tensley continues to be one of California’s most reliable producers of high quality Syrahs from Santa Barbara.
Additionally, Joey Tensley is demonstrating a nice touch with his white wine production. His beautiful 2006 Blanc
Camp 4 Vineyard, a co-fermented blend of 60% white Grenache and 40% Roussanne, exhibits aromas of white peaches, citrus oil, and honeysuckle, medium body, loads of fruit, a hint of minerality, and surprising complexity. This flamboyant wine could easily pass for a top-notch white southern Rhone.” Wine Advocate, rated 90/100
2006 Varner Chardonnay Fox Glove (California)_ ________________________________________________ 14.99
“This is one of the most impressive wineries situated in the cool, high elevations of the Santa Cruz Mountains…The one
non-Santa Cruz Mountain Chardonnay is one of the great values in Chardonnay from California today. The 18,000 cases
of 2006 Fox Glove Chardonnay should not last long in the marketplace. All tank-fermented and lee-stirred with no
malolactic, this is outrageously delicious Chardonnay showing plenty of white currant, pineapple, and tangerine skin
notes, with gorgeous fruit purity, medium body, crisp acidity, and oodles of naked varietal fruit that is surprisingly
complex and rich with great zestiness. Drink it over the next 12-18 months.” Wine Advocate, rated 90/100
Opus One
2004 Opus One
Showing, a lustrous dark ruby, the 2004 presents aromas of violets, cedar, black
tea leaves, black pepper and brioche. A soft, creamy entry gives way to a concentrated mid-palate that expands in the mouth and lingers on the finish.
Elements of cassis, toffee and cocoa round out the rich flavors of the wine.
Intense fruit, bright acid and sturdy tannins promise resilience and longevity.
The 2004 Opus One is composed of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, 4%
Petit Verdot, 2% Cabernet Franc, and 1% Malbec.
“Excellent structure, tannins and acidity, with sturdy currant, blackberry, fresh
earth, mineral and a whiff of tar and tobacco. A remarkably complex and
impeccably balanced young wine that flexes its tannic muscle on the finish.”
Wine Spectator, rated 92-94/100

“The following tasting notes are brief, but I included them since readers who visit Napa Valley can
purchase these wines directly from Beringer. There are between 200-500 cases of the following seven
single vineyard cuvées that all go into the Private Reserve bottling, and all of them are showing better
this year than they did in 2003…One of my favorites, the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon St. Helena Home
Vineyard (rated 95/100) is a classic example of Cabernet Sauvignon’s Créme de cassis side. With a terrific texture, wonderful opulence, and a long, full-bodied finish, it will be a 20-year wine. The 2001
Cabernet Sauvignon Steinhauer Vineyard (rated 93/100) is another big, full bodied, heady effort.” Wine

2002 Steinhauer Cabernet Sauvignon (rated 90/100) revealed impressive minerality along with white flowers, and serious density, structure, and delineation.” Wine Advocate

“The 2004 Sassicaia is a lovely, understated effort. Medium in body, it presents nuanced layers of sweet dark fruit,
licorice, menthol and toasted oak that gradually open onto a finely-knit frame of notable length. Today it
appears to be quite reticent and still holding back much of its potential.” Wine Advocate, rated 93/100
“…we think at will prove to be a great vintage for Sassicaia.” Marchese Nicolo Incisa Della Rocchetta
“Vintners in Bolgheri, home to Sassicaia and Ornellaia, say 2004 is close to 1998 in quality.” James Suckling
“Aromas of chocolate, currant and blackberry, with a hint of Spanish cedar. Full-bodied, with firm, velvety tannins and a long, long finish. Racy and very well-structured. Builds on the palate. Cabernet Sauvignon and
Cabernet Franc. Best after 2012.” Wine Spectator, rated 94/100
“The original super-Tuscan red (a term for wines that brought French varieties such as Cabernet Sauvignon and
Merlot into a Tuscan context), Sassicaia is still one of the greatest, if not the greatest. In ‘04, it’s extraordinarily
focused - a clear, pure statement of cassis fruit that opens in the glass to reveal smoky spice notes. Superstar”

Steve Tanzer, rated 93/100
“The vineyard produced a supple, subtle and elegant wine. To describe the fruit character one might resort to

“Some of the best Cabernet Sauvignons to emerge from California over the last two or three years have been the responsibility
of winemaker Mark Herold. His own wine, Merus, is a no-holds-barred, full-throttle Cabernet Sauvignon. He’s also doing exquisite
work for such up-and-coming new wineries as Buccella, Hestan, Harris Estate, and Kamen, with a few more coming on board
soon. This is modern California winemaking at its best, taking full advantage of extraordinary fruit potential in selected microclimates in Napa Valley.” Robert Parker
Harris Estate Vineyards
“Wine consultant Mark Herold is making the wines at this estate, which he considers to have
some of the greatest terroir potential he has seen in Napa Valley. The vineyards are located
on Diamond Mountain, in the distinctive micro-climate of the Franz Valley School Road (48
acres protected on three sides by forests). there are three single vineyard offerings…These
are impressive newcomers that merit serious attention.” Robert Parker

2003 Meyer Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon_ _________
3.0 liter 549.99
“Firm, intense and concentrated, with complex blackberry, tobacco, cassis

Merus
“What an inspirational story this small garage (literally) winery is! This classic ‘seat of the
pants’ winemaking operation is already producing thrilling Cabernets, largely because of
the extraordinary enthusiasm and uncompromising ferocity of the husband/wife team of
Mark Herold and Erika Gottl. Their objective is to eventually produce 1,000 cases of a fullthrottle, brilliantly etched, ageworthy Cabernet Sauvignon from St. Helena, Stags Leap, and
Coombsville vineyard sources…are among the most exciting new reds to come out of
Mark Herold and
northern California in the last several years… Readers wanting to have a chance to purchase
Erika Gottel
a few bottles should contact the winery as virtually all of these wines are sold via a !mailing list.” Robert

2004 Cabernet Sauvignon_ _____________________________________________________________________________________ 179.99
“Rich and concentrated, with a generous mix of currant, blackberry, wild berry and mocha-laced oak. While intense and concentrated,
it avoids being heavy, turning sleek and elegant. Deftly balanced and tightly focused, with a complex and lingering finish marked by
hints of herb and black olive. Drink now through 2015. 875 cases made.” Wine Spectator, rated 96/100
“The home property of the successful husband and wife team of winemaking guru Mark Herold and his graphic designer wife, Erika

Matt Trevisan, proprietor & winemaker
“One of my favorite Rhône Ranger producers is Linne Calado’s Matt Trevisan. He has been
courageous in avoiding the mainstream approach to selling Rhône Ranger wines via varietal labeling, preferring to make the best blends possible à la some of the the Central
Coast’s most successful producers (i.e., Sine Qua Non, l’Aventure, Saxum, and Villa Creek).
Wine Advocate
2006 Contrarian_ _____________________________________________________________ 31.99
68% Roussanne, 32% Viognier
“Linne Calodo’s gorgeous white wine, one of the best dry whites of the area, is the 2006 Contrarian, a blend
of 68% Roussanne and 32% Viognier. This is a dry, full-bodied wine with notes of honeyed melons and citrus,
a bit of pear, and some more exotic rose petal/floral notes. The wine has terrific fruit and finishes dry.
Moreover, the good news is that there are 450 cases of it. All of this comes from both the James Berry and
Denner Vineyards. “ Wine Advocate, rated 93/100
2005 Problem Child____________________________________________________________ 44.99
71% Zinfandel, 17% Syrah, 12% Mourvedre
“The 2005 Problem Child (71% Zinfandel, 17% Syrah, and 12% Mourvedre) possesses beautiful raspberry
and briery fruit as well as copious quantities of roasted herbs, pepper, and meaty characteristics. With excellent texture, full-bodied, powerful flavors (15.6% alcohol), good acidity, and a robust finish, it should drink
well for 5-6 years.” Wine Advocate, rated 92/100
2005 Leona’s_ _______________________________________________________________ 45.79
62% Zinfandel, 30% Syrah, 8% Mourvedre
“A blend of 62% Zinfandel, 30% Syrah, and 8% Mourvedre, the 2005 Leona’s exhibits gorgeously sweet
raspberry and black cherry fruit along with a hint of resiny pine forest, medium to full body, terrific texture
and richness, and a Mediterranean-styled personality as well as mouthfeel. Enjoy it over the next 3-4 years.”

85% Syrah, 11% Mourvedre, 4% Grenache
“The 2005 Nemesis (which was still in barrel) reminded me of a 2003 Northern Rhone red Hermitage. A blend
of 85% Syrah, 11% Mourvedre, and 4% Grenache, the wine exhibits blackberry notes with hints of road tar,
truffle, and earth. Spicy, with fabulous layers of rich creme de cassis fruit, this broad, expansive wine has
superb purity, a beautifully textured mouthfeel, and a long finish. It should evolve for a decade or more.”

In the June 2007 issue of Food & Wine
Magazine, the Brown Derby International
Wine Center is listed as one of the
“Top 10 Online Wine-Buying Websites!”
“Great deals in Missouri on California wines? Brown Derby owner, Ron Junge, uses his long-standing connections to bring great
California wines like Copain Syrah home to the Show-Me State.
He also offers hard-to-find gems such as the 2002 Diebolt-Vallois Blanc de Blancs Champagne ($60). Tip: Many, but not all,
of the wines here have low markups. Low inventory numbers
(“Only 6 left!!”) are often a guide to bottles that are going fast.”
The Gang of Four
The 2006’s
are Stunning!
Marcel Lapierre, proprietor ; Jean-Paul Thevenet; Guy
“Max” Breton, proprietor & Jean Foillard
“The tasting I conducted in Marcel Lapierre’s courtyard was one of the great experiences of
my life. The Gang of Four, composed of Marcel Lapierre, Jean Foillard, Guy Breton (“Max”),
and Jean-Paul Thevenet, are capable of producing superb, eye-popping Beaujolais. Readers
with a propensity to believe that Beaujolais is not serious wine will find their preconceived
notions shattered if they take the trouble to taste one of these Morgons…These Morgons
are delicious young, and can age remarkably well, as evidenced by a recently tasted 1985
from Marcel Lapierre. It is awesomely rich, full-flavored, extremely complex, and has
evolved better than many of the Burgundies from the Côte d’Or…The art for Lapierre and
the other three members of the Gang of Four is to respect the fruit. Unlike the vast majority
of their neighbors in the Beaujolais, the Gang of Four harvest moderate yields by hand, use
little sulphur, if any, almost never chaptalise, and have never acidified. Furthermore, these
wines are neither fined nor filtered…this philosophy can lead to some of the finest
Beaujolais ever crafted.” Robert Parker

“The average age of Campbells’ luxury blends is around
50 years, and the less expensive offerings are between
5-30 years of age. These stunning cuvées represent good
values for what they are. The dense amber-colored nonvintage Muscat exhibits a sweet nose of toffee, maple
syrup, and figs along with huge body, and no cloying
sweetness because of good acidity. The non-vintage
Tokay (Muscadelle) reveals a lighter amber color in addition to burnt/roasted notes of camphor, scorched earth,
prunes, figs, caramel, and marmalade. Its full-bodied
sweetness is beautifully balanced by acidity.”

“William Chambers’s offerings, which are among the
greatest fortified whites in the world, basically elicit the
same comments as well as nearly identical scores every
year. I was simply going to write…blah, blah, blah,
blah…but I thought that might not be sufficient for new
readers who have not seen my tasting notes in the past.
The real values are the inexpensive Muscat and
Muscadelle. The Muscadelle (Tokay) exhibits a light
amber color as well as a gorgeous fragrance, and plenty
of honey and molasses characteristics in a full-bodied,
unctuous style. The Muscat is even better, offering a
rose/amber color followed by notes of black tea. This
sexy effort is the equivalent of liquid viagra. Full-bodied
and opulent, these two cuvées average 10 years in age.
The two “Grand” cuvées average 70 years in age.
The dark amber-colored Grand Muscadelle (Tokay) possesses scents of caramel, toffee, figs, molasses, and black
tea. The Grand Muscat reveals more orange marmalade
notes. It is an incredibly unctuous, sweet, thick wine, but,
like its siblings, it is neither heavy nor cloying because of
good underlying acidity.
The non-vintage rare Muscat and Rare Muscadelle
are off any earthly chart in terms of richness and intensity. The major component in these fortifieds date from
1890. The Rare Muscadelle (Tokay) is a thick, unctuous,
brown sugar-imbued fruit bomb revealing notes of balsamic vinegar intermixed with a smorgasbord of heavenly delights including caramel, melted toffee, maple
syrup, and Asian spices. It must be tasted to be believed.
The Rare Muscat may be even better, but the system
stops at 100 points. It is equally rich, profound, concentrated, and unctuous, with explosive aromatic fireworks.“

“Yalumba is also a fabulous source of antique fortifieds
that often sell for a song. The extraordinary non-vintage
Museum Release Antique Tawny exhibits a medium
amber color along with notes of prunes, sweet berries,
raisins, spice, and jammy, overripe strawberries. Believed
to be from a 20-year-old solera, it is delicious, but unlikely to improve. Even more provocative and distinctive is
the non-vintage Museum Muscat. A killer value, it offers
aromas of melted toffee, brandy-macerated raisins,
prunes, maple syrup, molasses, and ripe figs. It is a stunning offering to enjoy at the end of a meal, or as dessert.
Equally spectacular is the non-vintage Museum 50 year
Old Antique Tawny. Readers who love the smell and
taste of maple syrup, melted caramel, toffee, and pruny,
berry fruit will adore this fragrant, medium amber-colored, full-bodied, unctuous, fortified treasure. None of
these Australian fortifieds improve in the bottle, but they
rarely change and can be kept for a long time. Once
opened, they should be consumed within 4-7 days.”

Rare, Irreplaceable
Vintage Madeiras
Vintage Madeira is a very rare commodity, in fact extremely rare. Vintage years are declared 30 years
after the vintage. The wines are kept in cask for 20 years before being bottled. They are ready to drink
at this stage but are still considered young wines. Make no mistake, these elder citizens are wines of
great consequence. Madeira, meaning “forested” in Portugese, is a small volcanic island 400 miles off
the coast of Morocco. Vines grow perched on ledges in the fertile soil, infused with potash from a fire
that raged for 7 years in the 15th century. Madeira is one of the longest lived of all wines and has
retained its popularity since the 18th century, and, despite attacks by odium and phylloxera, outstanding quality wine has been produced since the 19th century. Today’s Madeira is known by the principal
grape varieties used; Sercial producing the driest wine, Verdelho, Bual and Malmsey, the sweetest.
Madeira Styles
• Sercial: Made from the Sercial grape. Often high tone,
nutty, with lots of character. Dry wine.
• Verdelho: Medium to dry from the Verdelho grape.
Smoky complexity with tang of acidity.
• Bual: Dark medium-rich, raisiny made from the Bual
grape. Retains acidity with age.
• Malmsey: From the Malvasia Candida and Malvasia
Babos grapes. Very sweet. Big levels of acidity. Gains
richness with age.
Barbeito
It is ironic that among major producers of Madeira, the
youngest firm has the most impressive stock of very old
wines not only on the island of Madeira, but in the world.
Vinhos Barbeito was founded just 58 years ago, in 1946,
by Mario Barbeito de Vasconcelos, a wealthy businessman. The firm’s incredible range of old vintages today is
due to his foresight, since in the 1940’s and 1950’s Bareito
de Vasconcelos went around the island buying up large
quantities of privately owned wine, some of it dating back
to the 18th century. These old wines became the foundation for one of the world’s most unique wine libraries.

Cossart
Cossart Gordon & Co. was established in 1745 and is the
oldest company in the Madeira Wine trade. Francis Newton, a young Scot, sailed from Gravesend in Britain and
arrived in Madeira on September 12th 1745 founding the
company. He was joined by his younger brother Thomas
from 1758 to 1763 and then by another Scot, Thomas Gordon of Balmaghie also in 1758. Thomas Murdoch joined
the firm in 1791 that came to be called Newton, Gordon,
Murcoch & Co. By 1850 the firm was said to be shipping
“half the growth of the island” and Newton’s contacts in
America through his brother Andrew (who left Scotland
for Virginia) were proving to be highly successful and the
company acquired an unequalled reputation as suppliers
of fine Madeiras. To this day, Cossart Gordon Madeiras are
considered the very finest available.

D’Oliveira
D’Oliveira is one of the greatest of the classic Madeira
shippers, and one of the few to survive from the pre-phylloxera era. Founded in 1820, and today housed in cellars
that date from 1619, this small jewel of a company is still
owned by the same family, its vineyards holdings built up
over time through a series of marriages with other wineproducing families.
But what is really extraordinary is that D’Olivera has
held on to many of its most famous vintages, creating
a unique, and irreplaceable, stock of old wines. And remarkably they are all D’Oliveira wines, not purchased
from other shippers or growers.

Leacock
John Leacock sailed to Madeira from the United Kingdom
(after the death of his father) in 1741 and at the age of 15
became the youngest apprentice at the firm of Madeira
merchants, Catanach and Murdoch staying until his contract expired on 11 March 1749. During his apprenticeship he had been in constant contact with an old school
friend, John Patient, residing at that time in Charles Town,
South Carolina who suggested that they themselves
should commence trading. Leacock agreed and this
marks the birth of the now world famous company.

Sherries Extraordinaire
Superb Sherries of
Emilio Lustau
“Simply staggering in quality…what complex fine old Sherry is all about…Sherries such as these remain
among the last great unknown bargains of the world. They must be tasted to be believed!” Robert Parker
“Lustau stands at the very apex of the Sherry world.” Decanter Magazine
“…as different from standard Sherries as chalk from cheese.” Clive Coates
The House of Emilio Lustau, founded in 1896, is one of the largest independent, family-owned producers in
Jerez today. In addition to their highly-acclaimed “Reserva Range” of typical sherries, they currently offer,
in extremely limited quantities, ten “Almacenista” wines. These are carefully selected and drawn from small
stocks of authentic, pure, unblended and completely dry, classical Sherries matured by the “Almacenistas”
of Jerez and its surroundings, in southern Spain. As well Lustau is quite proud to offer their very rare
“Landed Age” Sherries. Quantities are extremely limited in all cases.
Almacenista Sherries
“ Over the last decade, Lustau has become noted for a
number of specialty sherries, including the Almacenistas
(meaning storekeeper or stockholder, pronounced almath-en-eesta) - great old Sherries that Lustau buys from
stocks produced and own by private individuals, bottled
in very small quantities.
There are about 54 Almacenistas in the Sherry district,
acting as stockholders, some of which have their own
vineyards. They all mature stocks of exceptionally highquality old sherries.
Whenever a shipper needs to improve a blend of Oloroso
or Fino, he may obtain a butt or two from an Almacenista.
The name of the Almacenistas never appeared on a bottle
of Sherry until recently when the House of Lustau (itself
an Almacenista until 1950) decided to release a select
range of these fine, old unblended Sherries, which they
purchased from various Almacenistas.
A Designation such as 1/50 appears on the label and indicates that the bottling is from a Solera consisting of only
50 butts, with the smaller the number of butts the rarer
the wine.” The Underground Wine Journal
Juan Garcia Jarana
Oloroso De Jerez Pata de Gallina 1/38_ ____________ 34.99
20% alcohol. An extreme rarity, from one of only three
butts. This is rally special. Fat and full’ dry but with the
ripe “sweetness” of concentrated fig, raisin and dried
apricot fruit. Toasty, coffee bean and nutty finish.

tangy. Flavorful and richly textured but not heavy, with
hazelnut, toffee and mandarin orange flavors that lingers
interminably.

Bollinger
Special Cuvee
Special Cuvée is the purest expression of Champagne Bollinger’s style. All the House’s know-how is
required in order to create, year after year, a blend that is consistent both in style and quality. It has a
depth and balance, with rich and toasty aromas. The Bollinger style is very round and mature with a
luxurious finish.
60% Pinot Noir, 25% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Meunier
“Compact and yeasty, this bubbly evokes bread dough and grapefruit flavors backed by verve and
a chalky texture. It has a fine mousse and a lingering finish.” Wine Spectator
“Deep, rich and honeyed, with a powerful scents of ripe pear, apple and toasted nuts. A classic
rendition of the house style, with serious weight and dense, chewy apple and pear flavors complicated by butter and toast accents. Finishes on a tangy note of orange zest. A really nice bottling.”

Rare Wines
From Alsace
Restricted to four noble grape varieties, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Pinot Gris, and Muscat, these rare
wines are subject to France’s most stringent wine laws. Vendanges Tardives wines are picked last of all,
and only from the choicest plots in the greatest years, the grapes are always over-ripe and often
affected by noble rot.
Selection de Grains Nobles wines are even richer and rarer than Vendange Tardive ones. They are only
harvested under ideal climatic conditions, the botrytised grapes literally being picked one by one.
These rare nectars have an unrivaled aromatic intensity and can improve for decade after decade.

The Wines Of

from the depths of the soul.” —Voltaire, 1749
The Classes of Tokaji
(Comments by Hugh Johnson)
Tokaji Aszu—Aszu is the term for grapes infected with noble rot. Destalked hand-picked Aszu grapes are
stored 6-8 days, then kneaded to a pulp which is added to base Tokay wine, or to must, by the puttony (hod of
20-25 kilos). The eventual sweetness depends on the number of puttonyos added to the 136-140 litre barrels
(called Gorci) of one-year-old base wine - usually 3,4 and 5 puttonyos. 6 is exceptional.
Tokaji Aszu Essencia—Only individually hand-selected Aszu grapes. Only produced in exceptional years
from the best vineyards.
Tokaji Essence—Destalked hand-picked Aszu grapes. While grapes are being stored (see Tokay Aszu) the
pressure of their own weight the tub (one puttonyo yields only 142 millimeters of this Essence). The juice is
then allowed to ferment extremely slowly for many years in oak casks. The Royal Tokaji Wine Company

2006 Chardonnay Santa Barbara County_ ___________________________________________ 22.99
The distinctive flavors from the cool Northern and Western extremes of Santa Barbara County came together in this bottle. Here, their love of blending has resulted in a marriage of exceptional fruit aromas with
carefully balanced acidity, capturing the best qualities of the area. Graceful orange blossom, Fuji apple and
citrus notes are highlighted in this appealingly crisp white wine.
2006 Sauvignon Blanc Santa Ynez Valley____________________________________________ 16.99
This beautifully dry white wine is perfumed with aromas of honeydew melon, pears and spun sugar. These
aromas merge with flavors of Meyer lemon and pineapple on the palate, and finish with a sensation that is
both fruity and crisp.
2005 Syrah Santa Barbara County_________________________________________________ 22.99
The Syrah varietal is Santa Barbara County’s great noble red. Formidable and age-worthy, it excels beyond
all measure in our county. This bottling is abundant with suggestions of cherry, blackberry and hints of
vanilla. Its silky texture carries ripe fruit and tannins on the palate.
Syrah Suits
Washington
“At its best, Washington Syrah displays the deep color,
violet-laced perfume, and peppery palate of Hermitage
and Côtie-Rôtie, but with less tannin. Vivid, focused
fruit is more common than overt jammyness, perhaps
owing to cold nights at the end of the growing season…It’s a long way from the Rhône Valley to the
Pacific Northwest, but Syrah is right at home in both
places.” Saveur

Ferdinand Frescobaldi,
Vice PResident
“This famous and prestigious estate, under its new Mondavi-Frescobaldi proprietors, continues to
maintain its standards, which have always been high…Indeed, this collection of wines from Ornellaia,
in keeping with the trend of recent years, is even better than usual.” Gambero Rosso
2004 Ornellaia
Tenuta Dell’Ornellaia
This could be one of the best vintages ever for Ornellaia!
Just rated 97 points by James Suckling, in The Wine Spectator Insider’s September
5th edition:
“Dark ruby-purple in color, with complex aromas of dark chocolate, cola, vanilla,
cedar and currant. Full-bodied yet ultrarefined, with dense, seamless, caressing tannins. Everything is in the right proportion. Superb. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot,
Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot.”
Rated 95 points by Antonio Galloni in The Wine Advocate:
“A lively dark ruby, it is a vibrant effort bursting with expressive aromatics and layered, well-delineated fruit, showing much purity on the palate and closing with a
long, finessed finish. Readers hoping to catch this wine’s full array of nuances will
have to wait at least another few years as the wine remains quite primary today.
This exquisite effort is not to be missed. A blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25%
Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petit Verdot. Anticipated maturity: 20112019.”
Rated 92 points by Ian D’Agata in Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar:
“Deep ruby. The initially reticent nose begins with a hint of grass before revealing
wonderfully complex notes of raspberry, red and black cherry, leather, tobacco and
intriguing minerality. Much more explosive on the palate from the get-go, with
deep, ripe red and black fruit flavors given extra lift and complexity by pretty coffee
and dark chocolate highlights. The very long, nuanced finish features smooth tannins. A very successful Ornellaia.”

World Famous
Grappa
Grappa is a legal Italian name given to the distilled spirits obtained through the
distillation of the pomace of pressed grapes (skins, seeds, and a small quantity
of pulp, must, and wine). It is a brandy unique to its kind. The basic difference is
that Grappa is obtained by distilling the pomace with boiling water and the
extraction of alcohol present in it through a flow of hot steam. Other brandies or
Eau-de-Vie are obtained with the distillation of washing waters of the pomace.
There are two distillation methods. The first, a continuous distillation, finds
its application in the industrial production of grappa. The second, a discontinuous distillation, is used by small distillers. The second method used by most of
the Master Grappaioli implies constant attention to the process of distillation.
The grappa maker continuously corrects the trend of distillation by an everchanging manual ability determined by the characteristic and type of pomace
put in the boiler. The effect of the discontinuous system is to allow for a slow
distillation and an accurate fractioning of the boiling liquid. Paolo Marolo,
Jacopo Poli, and Nonino are considered Master Grappaioli.
Grappa can be aged or not aged. Clear grappa is not aged. It can also be
fruit infused with different flavors.
Uva is very similar to grappa but is made from whole grapes and is considered an immature grape brandy.

South Africa’s Very Finest
Hamilton Russell
Winemaker Kevin Grant and proprietor Anthony
Hamilton Russell
“Hamilton Russell Pinot Noir and Chardonnay as in Burgundy are perfectly balanced; they
stand unrivaled amongst the best in the new world”—Pierre Crisol, Gault Millau
“…superb, restrained, Burgundian Chardonnay and Pinot Noir that set a standard for the
rest of the hemisphere.” Oz Clarke-London Telegraph
2005 Chardonnay (Walker Bay)______________________________________________________ 24.99
“A perennial powerhouse Chardonnay from the Cape, this vintage starts off with strong aromas of popcorn and
butter before smoothing out and offering flowery orange and white stone fruit notes. Full-bodied, with beautiful
balance, the flavors of papaya, mango, spice and vanilla are perfectly integrated. The finish is long; the only thing
this winner really needs is a little more heft in the mid-palate. Imported by Vineyard Brands.” Wine Enthusiast
“Delightfully ripe, with Bosc pear and fig flavors backed by a hint of grilled hazelnut. But it also stays focused and
pure, with a note of Granny Smith apple helping to stretch out the long, minerally finish. A touch tight now, this
should blossom in the cellar.” Wine Spectator, rated 92/100
“Wonderfully opulent chardonnay with real spine…” Steve Tanzer, rated 93/100
2004 Chardonnay (Walker Bay)______________________________________________________ 24.99
“One of the World’s 20 best producers of Chardonnay” Anthony Rose-Harpers
Highest score ever given to a South African white wine (92) Wine Spectator
“Very classy, big fruit nose. Burgundian and fruity. Palate is fruity and very classy, very Burgundian. Not dry, but
great.” Decanter
2005 Pinot Noir (Walker Bay)_ ______________________________________________________ 29.99
“Pure and ripe, and filled with textbook Pinot notes of crushed cherry, currant, spice and forest floor. Silky, with
a long, minerally finish that shows nice grip. Drink now thorough 2010.” Wine Spectator, rated 91/100
“Distinctly Burgundian in its complexity and elegance; a second bottle I tasted chez moi held its own alongside
a flight of 2004 Clos Vougeots.” Steve Tanzer, rated 90/100
2002 Pinot Noir (Walker Bay)_ ______________________________________________________ 27.99
Their Pinot Noir is not overtly fruity, soft and sweet. It generally shows hints of that alluring ‘primal’ character
along with a long, complex primary fruit perfume. For this reason, many knowledgeable enthusiasts around the
world regard Hamilton Russell Vineyards as the finest Pinot Noir in South Africa and one of the best in the New
World.
“A South African classic…” Decanter
“No Pinot Noir enthusiast should miss the chance to try it.” Frank Prial-NY Times
Long Shadows
Distinguished Wineries & Vineyards
“Something incredible is happening
right in our backyard, something that
just may be the coolest thing to happen
to wine in this young 21st century…After
tasting the first vintages it’s evident
many of them are on par with—and may
even surpass—the best wines made in Washington to date.” Seattle
Washington, February 2006.
After twenty years at the helm of the Stimson Lane wine group
(Chateau Ste. Michelle, Columbia Crest and other wineries), Allen
Shoup retired to pursue a personal dream. For years he had envisioned a joint venture with highly acclaimed winemakers from different regions of the world. His goal was to bring their expertise to
Washington to create some of the most luxurious wines ever crafted
from the region’s fabled viniferous grapes. Wines that stand shoulder to shoulder with the world’s best.
“Build it and they will come.” Actively encouraged by his associates,
including long time friend and mentor, Robert G. Mondavi, Allen did
just that. He invited several of the world’s most venturesome and
exciting vintners to the sunny slopes where the Snake River and the
Yakima River flow into the mighty Columbia. With their enthusiastic
support and advice, Allen drew up plans to establish individual wineries that would reflect the status and acclaim of each vintner. He
named the venture “Long Shadow Vintners,” in tribute to this select
group of individuals, who shape the industry with their benchmark
wines and wineries.
2005 Poet’s Leap Riesling______________ 19.99
2004 Chester-Kidder-Red Wine__________
49.99
Armin Diel
The 2005 vintage of Poet’s Leap is an off-dry wine
with expressive, spicy aromatics and generous,
lively flavors. Fresh melon, honey, ripe apricot and
a hint of citrus jump on the palate leaving a vibrant,
racy impression on the long, clean finish.
Allen Shoup and Gilles Nicault
“The 2004 Chester-Kidder represents a diverse collection of outstanding Columbia Valley vineyards
sourced largely from the Horse Heaven Hills, Red
Mountain and Wahluke Slope. Horse Heaven and
Red Mountain Cabernet give the wine texture and
concentration; Horse Heaven Syrah adds dark flavors and color; Cabernet Franc from Weinbau
(Wahluke Slope), one of the Columbia Valley’s best
Cabernet Franc vineyards, adds aromatic intensity;
and a small amount of Petit Verdot from STone Tree
Vineyard on the Wahluke Slope adds intensity and
tannins to enhance the mouth feel.” Rated 91/100,
Wine Advocate
2004 Feather Cabernet Sauvignon___Please Inquire
Randy Dunn
Spicy black fruit aromas and flavors combine with a
hint of toast to make for an expressive, age-worthy
wine. Balanced, silky tannins and intense fruit flavors add dimension giving the wine a dense, rich
mouth-feel.
2004 Pirouette Red Wine______________ 54.99
Philippe Melka and Agustin Huneeus, Sr.
A full spectrum of bright aromas and flavors gives
the 2004 Pirouette wonderful complexity and style. Cabernet Sauvignon makes for a rich, structured
wine; Syrah and Merlot add vibrant, dark fruit and a
hint of licorice and spice; Petit Verdot contributes to
its balance and liveliness. Lush and concentrated,
the flavors continue through a lingering finish.
Saggi Red Wine_________________ Please Inquire
Ambroggio and Giovanni Folonari
Layers of black fruit aromas and flavors are woven
around a spicy vanilla core. Velvety and concentrated on the palate, this is a lively, well-balanced
wine with a rich and lengthy black cherry finish.
2004 Sequel Syrah__________________
54.99
John Duval
Darkly-hued with cherry and cassis aromas to match,
this is a focused Syrah loaded with black fruit, spice
and a hint of vanilla across a supple frame. Give it
time in the glass to fully reveal the wine’s layers of
fruit and concentration.
“As true as it ever was…
Merlot
Is America’s sweetheart
“Despite the availability of intriguing wines from around the globe and our increased willingness to try
them, our oldest and truest friend may still be our dearest.
‘Merlot is the leading red varietal wine purchased by Americans today,’ the San Francisco-based Wine
Institute, citing an AC Nielson poll, declared just last year. According to Nielsen, Merlot became the top red
wine in the U.S. in 1999, and has been America’s darling ever since.
Merlot’s most lovable quality may well be its versatility at the table. It pairs equally well with beef, pork,
veal, lamb and chicken- a claim few (if any) other varietals can make.” Diageo Chateau & Estate Wines
Leonetti Cellar
2005 Merlot
Very Serious!
Gary Figgins, proprietor & winemaker of
Leonetti Cellar
“It is indisputable that Leonetti is the most sought-after wine in the Northwest. What Harlan, Diamond
Creek and Turley are to California, Leonetti is to the Northwest: Washington’s first cult winery” Wine Press
Northwest
“Bordeaux styled wines are the specialty of Leonetti Cellar. The lineup begins with the 2005 Merlot, a wine
containing 8% Cabernet Sauvignon and 7% Petit Verdot. This outstanding Merlot can be enjoyed now but
merits 4-6 years of further cellaring. It should provide pleasure through 2030” Wine Advocate, rated
94/100
“A young, stylish Merlot. This young wine is poised to become something wonderful. Cellar, then serve with
roast duck.” Wine & Spirits, rated 92/100
“Bright, saturated, and deeply colored, this poster child Merlot proves that there is no other place in the
world that can do Merlot in this style.” Wine Enthusiast, rated 95/100
“Leonetti, whose Merlot was among the supple, distinctive reds that put the state on the map in the early
1990s.” Wine Spectator, rated 92/100

“The mountain vineyard somehow manages not only to beautifully ripen the grapes to
a great expression of fruit, but also preserves vital acidity and lends a firm layer of
minerality. The result is a big, powerful wine that easily absorbs its lavish coat of new
oak. The flavors are of candied pineapple tart. Meyer lemon mousse and vanilla custard,
with a finish of sweet, crushed Asian spices. Perfect now, and just beginning to gather
momentum. Drink through 2011, at least, with proper cellaring. Editor’s Choice.” Wine Enthusiast, rated 95/100

Stephen Hansel,
Proprietor and
Winemaker
“This estate is on fire…top-quality Burgundian-styled Chardonnays and Pinot Noirs…
these are all noteworthy cuvées that remain somewhat under the radar. Moreover,
price remains unbelievably fair for wines of such quality.” Robert Parker
We’ve talked about the Walter Hansel Winery before, and much has been written about the quality of their
wine. We had the honor of visiting with Stephen Hansel at his winery last summer to taste a few wines and talk
about upcoming releases, all of which reinforced our opinion that this is one of the true gems in California!
Stephen maintains a philosophy that good wine is made to be consumed, and to that end, he keeps the pricing on his wines very reasonable, particularly considering that all the fruit is estate-owned in a very desirable
location in Sonoma. The wines themselves have tremendous character and elegance, due to the vineyard site
and to Stephen’s preference for Burgundy and the influence that this has upon his winemaking decisions.
We are fortunate to represent these wines and can highly recommend any of them to our customers.

Chateau Rayas
The hardest task is to summarize all that Chateau Rayas embodies in a paragraph. Emmanuel and
Françoise Reynaud impress and charm with their talent and knowledge of the land they own and
love. Walking through the vineyards of Rayas and sticking one’s hand in the sandy soil, one can
imagine how water quickly drains away from the thirsty vines and leaves them to struggle and
stress, ultimately creating the haunting, enamoring wines that are the signature of this Estate. As
one walks through the pine forests between the vineyards, sand climbs up the sides of your shoes
and a constant breeze always seems to touch your sun-burnt cheeks. Old Grenache vines reach up
out of the barren ground displaying small bunches of grapes like a precious offering in the palm
formed by each gnarly, grey hand.
From these meager yields (often a ton or less an acre) comes one of the most revered and enigmatic wines ever fashioned. The heady concoction of wild strawberry, framboise, kirsch and a
healthy dose of black pepper is instantly recognizable for its singular and matchless character
that defies summary.
emmanuel reynaud, winemaker
k Just Arrived! k
“Following in the footsteps of a legend can’t be easy, and Emmanuel Reynaud has been working under a microscope at Rayas for almost a decade now,
since the death of his uncle Jacques in 1997. Any doubts I might have had about the current level of quality here were put to rest with the wines I saw
this year.” Josh Raynolds, International Wine Cellar
“…certainly I was critical of Emmanuel’s efforts in 98, 99, 00…actually very good wines but lacking the excitement of those vintages and his uncle’s
magic…but he has been at Rayas 10 years now…and the tasting I had with him last week was the finest tasting I have had there since the era of Jacques
Reynaud…so don’t count him out…” Robert Parker

“Medium red. Stunning floral and red berry aromas emphasize raspberry,
strawberry and fresh lavender. Bright, focused and pure, with vibrant red fruit
and mineral flavors given an exotic twist by a hint of dried apricot. The sweet
finish leaves a strong floral pastille impression. The freshness and precision of
this wine are really captivating.” Steve Tanzer, rated 94/100
“Medium red. Intense cherry, red berry and tapenade scents, with a complicating garrigue character. Pure, racy and fresh, showing an energetic quality
and precise raspberry and wild strawberry flavors. Finishes bright and long,
with a tangy lingering mineral note.” International Wine Cellar, rated 91/100

nice iron note in the background. Drink now through 2011. 250 cases made.”
Wine Spectator, rated 91/100
“The fabulous 2004 white Rayas Chateauneuf du Pape is a blend of white
Grenache and a little bit of Clairette. This is one of the richest, most honeyed
Rayas whites I have tasted, and boasts good underlying acidity, beautiful
purity, and loads of flowery exotic fruits in the aromas and flavors. It should
drink well for 10-15 years, possibly even longer.” Rated 92/100 Wine

Carlisle’s Mighty
Cache of Reds
“A ‘good feeling’ story is that of MIke
Officer, a home winemaker who began his
winery, Carlisle, in 1998, while he was still
working as a software developer. The huge
success he enjoyed among his mailing list
customers, who quickly recognized his
dedication to serious winemaking from
old vineyard sites, allowed him to abandon his software career to become a fulltime owner and winemaker. These are all
big, but incredibly well-balanced, fresh
Mike Officer, Proprietor
wines. Officer is not afraid to push ripeness
& winemaker
to the edge, but, remarkably, the wines are
never over the top, revealing tremendous textures, aromatics, and ripeness. He has become one of the
top three or four Zinfandel producers in northern California, and also demonstrates a sure hand with
Syrah and some of the old field blends planted by Italian immigrants over a century ago.”

Oregon’s Prince of Pinot
Ken Wright
Ken Wright, proprietor
& winemaker
“Ken Wright is engaging and passionate about Pinot
Noir and an indefatigable champion of its Oregonian
editions. He is also almost an icon among its many
producers, having created, from scratch, no less than
three brands of persistently high reputation: Panther
Creek, Domaine Serene, and Ken Wright Cellars. At
one point when Wright was the winemaker for both
Domaine Serene and Ken Wright Cellars, those
houses (which then cohabited) were simultaneously
Robert M. Parker’s choices for Oregon’s two outstanding producers of Pinot Noir.” North American

Pinot Noir Rutherford
873 cases produced
Founder Reginald Oliver is no longer with us, but his daughter Lily is maintaining the lofty standards of perfection he established. The making of the 2004
Pinot Noir was Reginald’s last, and it is a Burgundian-styled beauty that just
earned a 92 point rating by Wine Spectator’s James Laube: “A rare but highly successful Rutherford
Pinot Noir. Rich and intense, with deep red currant, raspberry and wild berry flavors…[It has] complexity and depth.” Clearly this tiny producer’s best yet.

Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
Bob Cabrale, winemaker
“This has the delicate strength that Pinot Noir takes on in the most aristocratic settings. Bob Cabral
blends this wine from four notable far coast sites (Precious Mountain, Coastlands, Hirsch and Peay) with
estate grown fruit from the Drake vineyard in Russian River Valley. Together, the fruit yields floral
scents of strawberry while the tannins seem imperceptible but strong. The flavors are as sunny and lacy
as breaks in the coastal fog. If you like far coast Pinot, don’t miss this 2005.” Wine & Spirits, rated

Pinot Noir Bulldog Reserve
Ambullneo Vineyards is listed in Business Week, March 27, 2007, among
California’s 10 Elite Pinot Noir producers to rival Burgundy in an article written
by Robert Parker.
Ambullneo Vineyards wine enjoys not only placement in some of America’s top restaurants, but are
actively promoted by the Sommeliers and Wine Directors at the following establishments: The Rench
Laundry, La Toque, and Press, in Napa Valley. Michael Mina, Gary Danko, Rubicon, Fifth Floor, Masa’s,
Quince, and The Ritz-Half Moon Bay in San Francisco. Per Se, Daniel, in New York. Picasso, DelMonico’s,
Bradley Ogden, and Nob Hill in Las Vegas. The Borgata, Atlantic City. The Ritz Carlton-St. Louis. These
are just some of the notable placements among many others not mentioned.
“The dark ruby/purple-colored 2005 Pinot Noir Bulldog Reserve (65% from the Solomon HiIls Vineyard
and the rest from Bien Nacido and a handful of other small plots) is a 500-case cuvée offering beautiful
black cherry, tapenade, strawberry, and loamy soil aromas, medium to full body, and superb structure
and length. With good acidity and moderate alcohol (by Californian standards) of 13%, this Burgundian-styled Pinot should evolve nicely for a
decade.” Wine Advocate, rated 92/100

Chateauneuf du Pape
Clos du Papes
2004 Chateauneuf du pape
“The 2004 Clos des Papes Chateauneuf du Pape has turned out to be one of the finest wines of the vintage…this
blend of 65% Grenache, 20% Mourvedre, 10% Syrah, and the rest some of the other red varietals that are permitted,
is performing beautifully and is certainly one of the vintage’s superstars. The wine is full-bodied, powerful, rich, and
as accessible as the 2003, but slightly fresher and not as muscular and thick. Nevertheless, this is a top effort from
the father and son team of Paul and Vincent Avril. This wine can be drunk now but can be cellared for 15-20 years.”
“Amazingly refined, with a pure, silky current of raspberry ganache and cassis flavors that glides along supple tannins. Hints of mocha, mineral and garrigue check in on the long, pure finish. Has serious structure for the long haul.
All about balance and finesse. Drink now through 2030. 6,880 cases made.” Wine Spectator, rated 96/100
“Very rich, in fact one of the more powerful wines of the vintage, with excellent depth and sweetness. The finish is
chewy and strikingly long. Avril compares this one to 1995 in quality.” Steve Tanzer, rated 94/100

Domaine du Pegau
2004 Chateauneuf du Pape
Cuvee Reservee
“A candidate for ‘wine of the vintage’ is the
2004 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee.
Pegau did not produce a Cuvee da Capo in
2004, and the Cuvee Reservee has undoubtedly benefited from the inclusion of that
stunning lot of wine. A late harvest lasted
through the first week of October. Yields
were 32 hectoliters per hectare, resulting in
an opaque purple-colored effort revealing
classic Provencal characteristics of melted
Laurence Feraud, proprietor
licorice, roasted herbes de Provence, sweet blackberry and cherry fruit, and hints
of gamy/animal notes and smoke. Meaty, full-bodied, stunningly concentrated
and pure, and in need of 4-5 years of cellaring, it promises to be one of the longest-lived wines of the vintage, lasting for a minimum of two decades.” Wine Advocate, rated 94+/100
“A real powerhouse, with muscular layers of fig and black currant compote, backed by by braised beef, chestnut,
tobacco and tar flavors. The long, mesquite-filled finish lets additional bittersweet cocoa and dark fruit notes linger, with lots of garrigue. Best from 2008 through 2025. 5,000 cases made.” Wine Spectator, rated 96/100
“Very fresh and sweet, with energetic red and dark fruit flavors…finishes deep and sappy…” Steve Tanzer, rated

Domaine Tempier
Domaine Tempier’s rosé, considered by many to be the finest in
France, is fuller and creamier on the palate and shows dimensions
not often found in rosé. Perhaps the addition of young Mourvèdre
is responsible, or the Peyraud’s allowance for the wine to follow
its
natural inclination and complete malolactic fermentation.
The Domaine also makes three single vineyard wines, two
blended red wines, and, from time to time, a white wine. La Migoua
(single vineyard, 80% Mourvèdre) perhaps displays the most power
and richness. La Tourtine has a higher percentage of Mourvèdre
(88%) and a firmer, more elegant structure. Cabassaou is the smallest bottling, made from a
kermit Lynch, Importer
small portion of the La Tourtine vineyard which is planted to 100% Mourvèdre, Tempier’s oldest
vines.
“Domaine Tempier Bandol: One of my favorite wines—a big, spicy red—Domaine Tempier’s Bandol bottles the herbaceous zest of Provence. It’s found on wine lists all over France and is almost always a good buy.” Patricia Wells, Food Lover’s
Guide to France
“Domaine Tempier today makes one of the finest red wines of Provence. Their’s is a wine that you can end up loving.
In my personal cellar I own more bottles of Domaine Tempier’s bold-tasting, soulful red than any other single wine. It may
not be rational; it is a love affair.” Kermit Lynch

2002 Denis Mortet
A re-release
“Mortet made some incredible 1993s and I have long thought that he hadn’t matched them
until I tasted his superb, and wonderfully pure, 2001s. I’m pleased to report that his incredible
2002s eclipse both vintages and they should be on your short list of wines to acquire at least
a few bottles of. With that drum roll, Mortet’s take on the vintage is that… ‘the wines are
The Late denis mortet
incredibly fresh and this is partially due to the late, and very long malos indeed, the malos just
finished in the last couple of weeks. In terms of comparables, on paper, 2002 resembles no vintage in the last 30 years but I think it’s like a great ‘90 in the mouth. In short, 2002 is a dream vintage and it’s the best that
I’ve ever made; in fact I wouldn’t change even one thing that I did.’ At the time of my visit, Mortet was planning to bottle
in March and April, without fining or filtration.” Allen Meadows. Burghound
2002 Gevrey Chambertin_ ____________________________________________________________________ 89.99
“Pungently earthy black pinot fruit aromas lead to bigger, richer, more concentrated flavors blessed with much finer tannins and
excellent persistence.” Allen Meadows, Burghound
“Sweet black fruits make up the aromatic profile of the 2002 Gevrey-Chambertin. Pure, vibrant, and expressive, this silky-textured
wine reveals loads of candied black fruit flavors in its lengthy personality.” Robert Parker
“Good red-ruby. Black raspberry, blueberry, game, licorice and smoky oak on the nose. Fat, round, sweetand full, with a ripe
chocolatey flavor. Very round, pliant village wine with sweet tannins and impressive length.” Steve Tanzer
2002 Gevrey Chambertin Au Vellé_______________________________________________________________ 99.99
“Extremely ripe pinot fruit combines with coffee and restrained torrefaction notes leading to rich, suave and velvety flavors
that offer excellent volume but the same elegance and finesse of the best in this range. This is sappy and exceptionally long
with the tannin quality of a top 1er.” Allen Meadows, Burghound
“From a parcel located below the Combe aux Moines, the 2002 Gevrey-Chambertin Au En Vellé sports a magnificent nose of
red cherries, raspberries, and spices. This silky-textured wine explodes on the palate with layers of toasted oak-tinged sweet
cherries. Its tannin is present, providing structure, yet it is ripe and suave.” Robert Parker
“ Ruby-red. Wild small berries dominate the nose, along with torrefaction notes of espresso and bitter chocolate. Juicy, tight
and very intensely flavored, but presently a bit imploded. Still, this comes across as sweeter than the Deree. All dark berries
today. Finishes firmly tannic and quite long.” Steve Tanzer

Spring Valley Vineyard
For over 100 years, Spring Valley has been a premiere location for wheat ranching.
Since the late 1800s, the Corkrum family has farmed in this area and by 1910 Uriah
Franklin Corkrum had acquired the land that now encompasses Spring Valley
Vineyard. Today, Shari Corkrum Derby - granddaughter of Uriah - and her husband, Dean Derby, continue the tradition of farming this land.
Spring Valley Vineyard is a limited production facility, exclusively producing
Estate bottled red wine. The fanciful names given to their wines are a tribute to
the family members who have struggled and succeeded in farming the same land
where Spring Valley Vineyard flourishes. Uriah Corkrum, Shari’s grandfather, was
born in Walla Walla on June 1, 1866. He began successful farming on his own during the 1880’s. Poor weather kept
him from getting his crop out of the field and he lost everything during the first great depression of 1893. He
struggled but preserved and by 1910 acquired land in the area known as Spring Valley. Frederick Corkrum son to
Uriah and father to Shari, grew up in Spring Valley. Farming with his father and brothers, Federick took care of the
mules and drove them in all aspects of the farming operation.
Today, Spring Valley Vineyard supports 7 acres of Cabernet Sauvignon, 18 acres of Merlot, 8 acres of Cabernet
Franc, 2 acres of Petit Verdot, 1 acre of Malbec and 4 acres of Syrah grapevines within its forty acres.

“The 2004 Uriah is 60% Merlot, 31% Cabernet Franc, 5% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 4% Petit Verdot. Dark ruby-colored, it
delivers a splendid perfume of pain grille, red currants, and black cherry. Structured and rich, with gobs of ripe fruit, this
lengthy wine does a splendid impersonation of a Saint-Emilion Grand Cru.” Wine Advocate, rated 93/100

2004 Frederick_ ______________________________________________________________ Rare magnum 99.99
Rated 90/100, “The 2004 Frederick further raises the bar. Composed of 59% Cabernet Sauvignon, 24% Merlot, 12%
Cabernet Franc, and 5% Petit Verdot, this is Spring Valley’s interpretation of a classified growth Saint-Julien. Purple-colored, it offers up an expressive array of pain grille, pencil lead, espresso roast, black currants, and blackberry liqueur
scents. Full-bodied, with layers of spicy black fruits, and terrific integration of oak, fruit, and acidity, this packed wine has
a 60+ second finish. Give it 6-8 years in your cellar and drink it through 2040. When you taste wines like these, it becomes
obvious why the Walla Walla AVA has become a destination of choice for people wanting to start a winery.” Wine
