2 Highly Rated 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? Chateau Pavie 2006 Ch. Pavie (Futures) Ch. Pavie (Futures) Rated 98/100, Wine Advocate 2004 Ch. Pavie Ch.

3 Pesquera Some have dubbed this rich concentrated wine the Chateau Petrus of Spain. The Wine 2004 Pesquera Alejandro Fernandéz, proprietor 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 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.

5 2007 Fall Releases PinOt noir 2005 Pinot Noir Allen Vineyard Bright Maraschino cherries, strawberries, rose petal, ginger, violets and root beer aromas. Concentrated raspberry and strawberry jam flavors end up lush and sweet in the mouth. The fruity finish is complemented by a toasty vanilla/ crème brulee-like texture explosion in your mouth, along with creamy textured tannins that finish long across your palate Pinot Bucher Vineyard Lively aromas of Bing cherries, violets, root beer and tarragon come through in the nose. A mouthful of pie cherries, raspberry, cola, herbal spices and earth is complemented by the richness of grape and toasty oak tannin in the finish. The complexity of this wine continues to show through as these vines become more and more mature Pinot Noir Ferrington Vineyard Mocha and ripe wild cherries stand out in the nose of this concentrated wine. Racy cherry-cola flavors and rich fat tannins fill your mouth, along with truffles in the finish. The newer clonal plantings from this ranch are finally maturing and are now adding an immense amount of depth and complexity to this wine Pinot Noir Flax Vineyard Blackberry, wild boysenberry, plum, sassafras and shitake mushroom aromas come to life in the glass. The rich and broad tannins accentuate the focus of berry and exotic spicy flavors across your palate. Young, yet sophisticated and sexy. Extremely cellar worthy Pinot Noir Rochioli Riverblock Vineyard Inviting aromas of ripe wild blackberries, Rainier cherries, root beer, and Morel mushrooms permeate the nose. Sweet and concentrated flavors of ripe cherries, earth, spice and sassafras accentuate the ripe, lush tannins on your palate. The concentration of fruit and toasty oak complement the long lingering finish in your mouth. The Riverblock vineyard has truly entered its prime Pinot Noir Vista Verde Vineyard Another excellent vintage from our vineyards in the Central Coast. The ripe aromas of cherry, raspberry, green tea, mocha and spice dominate the nose. This wine shows richer and broader tannins than the 2004 version, with a better overall concentration and depth of fruit. A long sweet cherry and silky oak finish complete this wine. Needs time to mature in the bottle Pinot Noir Weir Vineyard The aromas of wild cherries, blackberries, forest floor, Asian spices and minerals dominate the nose completely in this wine. Concentrated flavors of cherry, blackberry, and cardamom are complemented by the rich grape and toasty oak tannin in the finish. The sweetness in the finish makes this a much more complex wine than past vintages. CHaRDOnnay 2005 Chardonnay Allen Vineyard Characteristic Russian River Valley aromas of apples, pears, lichee, butterscotch and marshmallows only add to the complexity of these flavors in your mouth. Rich and full of classic Allen flavors that finish long and intricate Chardonnay Heintz Vineyard Enticing aromas of apple cobbler, pears, star jasmine and roasted marshmallows float up from your glass. The rich, fat leesy mouth-feel is complemented by the concentration of fruit and a balanced acidity. Soft tannins finish long with a toasty bread/lemon drop component Chardonnay Hawk Hill Vineyard Roasted nuts, mocha and citrus blossom dominate the aromas in this wine. The extended barrel aging has made the mouth-feel creamy and lush with a toffee element. The naturally high acidity gives this wine a long Meyer lemon and wet stone/mineral flavor in the finish. A wine that definitely benefits from several years of cellaring. zinfandel 2005 Zinfandel Forchini Vineyard Extremely concentrated flavors of raspberry, cassis, mocha and sassafras explode in your mouth. The aromas are similar, but with a high-toned perfumed edge to them. Big rich mouth-coating tannins give way to a long jammy finish. Like all of their zinfandels, this wine was aged in three-and four-year-old Francois Freres barrels. k Cellar Selections k 2004 Pinot Noir (Allen Vineyard) Pinot Noir (Bucher Vineyard) Pinot Noir (Bucher Vineyard) Pinot Noir (Central Coast) Pinot Noir (Central Coast) Pinot Noir (Coastlands Vineyard) Pinot Noir (Ferrington Vineyard) Pinot Noir (Ferrington Vineyard) mag Pinot Noir (Ferrington Vineyard) Pinot Noir (Ferrington Vineyard) Pinot Noir (Hirsch Vineyard) Pinot Noir (Mendocino) Pinot Noir (Rochioli Riverblock) Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley) Pinot Noir (Russian River Valley) Pinot Noir (Sonoma County) Pinot Noir (Sonoma County) Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) Pinot Noir (Sonoma Coast) Pinot Noir (Vista Verde Vineyard) Pinot Noir (Vista Verde Vineyard) Pinot Noir (Vista Verde Vineyard) Pinot Noir (Vista Verde Vineyard) Pinot Noir (Vista Verde Vineyard) mag Pinot Noir (Weir Vineyard) Pinot Noir (Weir Vineyard) Pinot Noir (Weir Vineyard) mag Pinot Noir (Weir Vineyard) Pinot Noir (Westside Road Neighbors) Pinot Noir (Westside Road Neighbors) info@brownderby.com PG. 5

6 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 years for the best vintages Aile d Argent Aile d Argent Aile d Argent Aile d Argent PG. 6 Phone Local FAX

7 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.

8 Superb Syrah Ron junge, Kerry Murphy, owner; Andy Smith, winemaker & Brad Feuerbacher Sashi Moorman, winemaker & co-proprietor of Piedrasassi; Winemaker of Stolpman Joey tensley, proprietor & winemaker of Tensley DuMol 2005 Syrah Russian River 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 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 Stolpman 2004 Angeli Rated 95/100, Wine Advocate 2005 Syrah Estate % 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 cases produced. Rated 93/100, Wine Advocate 2005 Syrah Hilltops Estate 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. Wine Advocate, rated 93/100 Tensley 2006 Syrah Colson Canyon Vineyard Syrah Colson Canyon Vineyard mag Syrah Three Creek Vineyard 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 Advocate PG. 8 Phone Local FAX

10 2005 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.

15 2005 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 Wine Advocate 2005 Beaune 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+/ Bourgogne Rouge Savigny Les Beaune Fourneaux 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+/ Volnay 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/ Volnay Chevret 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. Wine Advocate, rated 92/ Volnay Santenots Volnay Caillerets mag 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 info@brownderby.com PG. 15

16 Grower Champagne small in size, Big in Character Delve into the niche world of grower Champagnes and you ll find great value and a fascinating range of styles. L. aubry fils Twins Pierre and Philippe Aubry carry on a family tradition of vine growing that dates back to Their 40-acre estate in the village of Jouy-lès-Reims includes 60 parcels in five communes just southwest of Reims. In addition to the three common grapes of Champagne, they also grow forgotten varieties such as arbanne, petit meslier and fromenteau. The Aubrys seek to ally tradition with quality and creativity. Their wines are some of the most original in Champagne, bold in flavor and individual in character. N/V Brut Aubry de Humbert Aubry de Humbert H. BiLLiOt fils Serge Billiot, son of Henri, manages this 12-acre estate in the grand cru village of Ambonnay. Billiot s wines show the expansively ripe and succulent redfruit flavors typical of Ambonnay, yet they are also unusually elegant for the cru. He uses very little dosage and doesn t filter his wines, nor does he allow them to undergo malolactic. N/V Brut N/V Brut Rosé N/V Cuvée Laetitia CHaRLes ellner Charles Emile Ellner, the founder of the House, began his career in champagne making as a professional riddler. Slowly he began acquiring small vineyards in Epernay and cultivating his own adventure in champagne. In addition to the work of cultivating his vines, his independent nature and his passion for wine led him to vinify, blend, and sell his wines to a private clientele. Charles Emile was admirably assisted by his only son, Pierre, whose energy and foresight helped the house make vinegrowing and winemaking advance. The house is still a family business and each heir responsible for a specific sector corresponding to his own particular interests and professional ability such as oenology, administration or management of the vineyards. N/V Rosé Brut % Pinot Noir, 50% Pinot Meunier - The rose is blended from estate-grown fruit matured in vineyards whose average vine-age is 30 years Prestige Brut % Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir - The Chardonnay of this signature cuvee is aged in traditional wood barrels, the Pinot Noir in stainless steel vats. The two components are combined in the bottle Cuvee Seduction Brut % Chardonnay, 30% Pinot Noir - This vintage release is aged in oak and does not undergo malolactic fermentation. CHaRtOGne-taiLLet Philippe Chartogne s ancestors farmed vines in the village of Merfy in the 16th century. Today Philippe and his wife, Elisabeth, run this 27-acre estate northwest of Reims. The wines are rich and broadly mouthfilling, reflecting the sandstone and clay soils typical of this area of Champagne. Yields are kept low; the wines stand out for concentration and depth of fruit. N/V Cuvée St. Anne N/V Blanc de Blancs Millésime Brut DieBOLt-vaLLOis Jacques Diebolt has been at the helm of this estate since His wife, Nadia, is daughter of the Vallois winegrowing family in Cramant. The majority of Diebolt s vines lie in the grand cru village of Cramant, with additional vineyards in Chouilly and Cuis. These are pure, chalky wines of great finesse and detail. The Fleur de Passion and Prestige cuvées are exclusively from vines in Cramant, and show the richly complex depth and sleek structure of this top grand cru Blanc de Blancs Blanc de Blancs mag N/V Blanc de Blancs N/V Blanc de Blancs mag N/V Blanc de Blancs Cuvee Prestige N/V Brut Cuvée Tradition Rated 90/100, Wine Spectator 1999 Fleur de Passion GastOn CHiquet Nicolas Chiquet planted vines in the commune of Dizy in 1746, and in 1919 the brothers Fernand and Gaston Chiquet began to sell estate-bottled Champagne. Today the estate is again in the hands of two brothers, Nicolas and Antoine, who farm 54 acres of vines along the Marne River. The Chiquets like meunier, and 40 percent of the vineyards are planted with it. Another 40 percent is Chardonnay and 20 percent Pinot Noir, with holdings in the communes of Aÿ, Mareuil-sur Aÿ, Haut-villers, Cumières and Dizy. These wines reflect the bold, fruity character of Marne Valley terroir. The Brut Tradition is 50 percent Meunier, and always shows typical aromas of this variety.

17 Francois Peters, proprietor of Pierre Peters Jean-Baptiste Geoffroy, proprietor of René Geoffroy Gaston Chiquet, proprietor of Gaston Chiquet serge Billiot, proprietor of H. Billiot Fils 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. N/V Brut Jean Milan 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 Selection Terres de Noël Brut N/V Charles de la Milaniere Rosé Marc Hébrart Marc Hébrart founded this estate in 1962, and his son, Jean-Paul, took over in 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. N/V Cuvée Réserve Brut half N/V Selection Brut A. Margaine Gaston Margaine founded this 16-acre estate in Villers- Marmery 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. N/V Cuvée Traditionelle N/V Cuvée Traditionelle half N/V Rosé Pierre Gimonnet There have been Gimonnets growing vines in Cuis since 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 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 Cuvée Gastonome N/V 1er Cru Brut N/V 1er Cru Brut half Special Club Pierre Peters The Peters family had been growers in Champagne for more than a century when Pierre Peters founded this house in 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. N/V Cuvee de Reserve Brut Cuvee Speciale Brut René Geoffroy N/V Expression N/V Empreinte 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 His grandson, Renan Vilmart, took over the company in 1930 and later handed it over to his son-in-law, René Champs, in 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.

20 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 Rated 92/100, Wine Advocate 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.

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/ Coteaux de Layon Cuvée Le Paon Rated 90/100, Wine Advocate 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 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 & Spirits, rated 90/ Quarts de Chaume Rated 95/100, Wine Advocate 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 ,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/ Quarts de Chaume Quarts de Chaume Quarts de Chaume half 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 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 Palmina (is) made by Steve Clifton, part of the brilliant duo of Brewer-Clifton. He has worked in Italy, studying the finest producers in the northeast sector of that country, and stands alone in California as being able to translate the fragile yet ethereal character of Nebbiolo and Sangiovese, not to mention some brilliant stainless steel fermented aged whites, into wines of considerable class and interest. Why Clifton has been able to achieve such success while others have failed is another story altogether, but his wines merit significant attention At present, Palmina is the only reference point for what can be achieved in California with Italian varietals, hats off to Steve Clifton! Robert Parker The finest Italian varietal dry whites in the country are made by Steve Clifton under the Palmina label. It is amazing what he is able to achieve with these varietals, and if readers haven t tasted them, it is wellworth getting on the winery s mailing list as they are all crisp, stainless steel-fermented and aged dry whites that rank alongside the best from northeast Italy.

The wine finishes with excellent structure and balance. Brown Derby Staff, rated 91/ Tamarack Cellars Firehouse Red (Washington State) 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/ Tensley Blanc Camp 4 Vineyard (California) 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/ Varner Chardonnay Fox Glove (California) 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.

24 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.

There are between 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 Advocate 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon St. Helena Home Vineyard 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Steinhauer Vineyard $ per bottle The following single-vineyard wines, which are only available at the winery, emerge from the component parts utilized in the Private Reserve blend. My favorite of the component parts is the 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon St. Helena Home Vineyard (rated 93/100) because of its extraordinarily pure crème de cassis character, big, sweet licorice, cedary, full-bodied opulence, and voluptuous personality. After that, I thought the 2002 Steinhauer Cabernet Sauvignon (rated 90/100) revealed impressive minerality along with white flowers, and serious density, structure, and delineation.

25 Tenuta San Guido This wine has inspired concertos, poems and praise from critics and aspiring wine aficionados alike. Composed of 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Cabernet Franc, Sassicaia is aged for 22 months in Allier and Troncais oak. A name meaning the place of many stones Sassicaia remains the benchmark for Tuscan winemaking today. Marchese Nicolo Incisa della Rocchetta, Proprietor 2004 Sassicaia Sassicaia mag 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.

Builds on the palate. Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Best after 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 Wine and Food 2003 Sassicaia It is an outstanding effort for the vintage. Some cellaring is suggested although with air this wine is drinking beautifully right now. Wine Advocate, rated 93/100 A great Sassicaia that falls roughly between the 88 and the 85 in style at the similar stage of development Steve Tanzer, rated 93/100 The vineyard produced a supple, subtle and elegant wine.

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 % 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/ Problem Child % 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.

30 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.

31 Australia s legendary, highly rated and praised Sticky Wines. Campbells N/V Muscat half Rated 95/100, Wine Advocate N/V Tokay (Musadelle) half Rated 94/100, Wine Advocate 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. Wine Advocate Chambers Rare Muscat half Rated 100/100, Wine Advocate Grand Muscadelle half Rated 98/100, Wine Advocate Grand Muscat half Rated 99/100, Wine Advocate Muscadelle half Rated 92/100, Wine Advocate Muscat half Rated 95/100, Wine Advocate 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 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. Wine Advocate RL Buller Calliope Rare Tokay half Fine Tawny half Seppelt Show Reserve Sherry Oloroso D.P Show Reserve Tokay D.P Yalumba N/V Galway Pipe Port 16 year N/V Museum Muscat half Rated 96/100, Wine Advocate 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.

34 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 Boal Boal Boal Boal Boal Malvasia Malvasia Malvasia Malvasia Sercial Sercial Verdelho Verdelho Blandys The Blandys are unique in being the only family of all the original founders of the Madeira wine trade to still own and manage their own original wine company; nearly 2 centuries of fine wine production, Bual Bual Bual Bual Bual Bual Bual Sercial Sercial Verdelho Verdelho Broadbent 1940 Sercial Verdelho Bual Bual Terrantez 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 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 Bual Sercial 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 Boal Boal Boal Boal Malvasia Malvasia Moscatel Sercial Verdelho Verdelho Verdelho Verdelho Terrantez 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 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 Bual Sercial Sercial Verdelho PG. 34 Phone Local FAX

35 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 Antonio Borrego Oloroso Viejo 1/ is one of the most riveting dry sherries I have ever tasted. Wine Advocate, rated 96/100 Jose Luis Gonzales Obregon Amontillado Del Puerto 1/ % alcohol. Absolutely exceptional.

36 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. Steve Tanzer Great Price! $ per bottle PG. 36 Phone Local FAX

38 MasteRs O The Vineyard, Fall Edition, 2007 DOMinique LafOn The wines of Comte Lafon rarely need introduction since this is one of Burgundy s top estates. They are renowned for producing some of the most sought after, complex and age worthy white wines from the village of Meursault. dominique LAFon, ProPriETor PhoTos By jean chevaldonné Les HeRitieRs Du COMte LafOn The most famous white burgundies come from the Côte d Or, but the best values in these wines hail from the Mâconnais, the region just to the south. There, young winemakers have begun bottling their own wines instead of selling to cooperatives. They are also breaking with tradition by fermenting and aging their wine in stainless steel rather than oak, thus giving the wine a fresher taste. The vintage of choice is 2005, but 2004 offers many pleasant surprises and well-stored 2002s are drinking beautifully. Prices run from $15 to $30 per bottle, with a few old vine offerings pushing into the $40-to-$50 zone Famous for its white Burgundy, this domaine also makes a half-dozen or so offerings of 100% Chardonnay wines. They are crisp, delicious, and loaded with minerals, poached pears, and buttered citrus. They offer lovely drinking during their first four to five years of life. Robert Parker 2006 Macon Bussieres Macon Chardonnay Clos du la Crochette Mâcon Chardonnay Clos du la Crochette Mâcon Chardonnay Clos du la Crochette The 2004 Mâcon-Chardonnay Clos de la Crochette explodes from the glass with multitudes of ripe yellow plums and white peaches.

39 f MaCOn jean thevenet jean ThEVEnET, ProPriETor & winemaker APPEArs quite PLEAsEd with his 2002 VinTAGE. Thévenet crafts wines of unbelievable depth, complexity, and concentration Thévenet is making highly acclaimed wines that are out of the ordinary far and way Clessé s top producer Robert Parker As my tasting notes clearly demonstrate, these wines possess not only the ability to improve, but to last for decades. If you have never the Thevenet wines, you owe it to yourself to give one a try. Allen Meadows, Burghound DOMaine De La BOnGRan 2002 Macon Viré-Clessé Cuvee Tradition Sexy fruit salad aromas of pear, apricot and apple, with a suggestion of liqueur-like sweetness. Supple, fruit-driven and spicy, with lovely intensity and depth of flavor A step up in concentration and texture from the 2001, silkier and sweeter in the middle. Long and ripe on the end. Steve Tanzer, rated 90-92/100 Sporting a nose of boisterous spices, roasted pears, and dried honey, the 2002 Viré-Clessé Cuvee Tradition reveals a rich, satin-textured character. Its white truffle, honey, liqueur of mineral, and massively spicy flavor profile is lush, oily, concentrated, and exceptionally long in the finish. Drink it over the next 6+ years. Wine Advocate 1994 Macon Viré-Clessé Cuvee Botrytis Macon Viré-Clessé Cuvee Botrytis half Orange-yellow color. High-toned, resiny aromas of honey, toffee and white raisin; here the strong noble rot is much more roasted than that of the Super concentrated and silky, but as with the 2000 the powerful acids leaven the wine s thickness. Distinctly more roasted and rustic in character than the 2000, with higher volatile acidity, but utterly fascinating sweet wine. This is carrying 250 grams of residual sugar. Vintages 2000 and 1994 are my two most concentrated years for this wine, Thevenet told me. Steve Tanzer, rated 94/100 This would be on my very short list as one of the greatest Chardonnay based late harvest wines I have ever had the privilege of trying as the balance and harmony of this wine defy description. Intense, rich, explosive and magnificently complex, this combines knockout satin-textured flavors and a superbly long finish this quite simply ravishes the palate yet everything remains balanced and in perfect harmony. A bit lower in acidity than either the 2000 or the 95 and this is approaching its apogee. Allen Meadows, rated 95/100 DOMaine emilian GiLLet Jean Thevenet, who is best known for his Domaine de la Bongran, is also the owner and winemaker of the Domaine Emilian Gillet Macon Viré-Clessé Jean Thevenet produced an excellent 2002 Macon- Villages (Domaine Emilian Gillet). Loads of rocks, apples, spices, and linden can be found in its boisterous aromatics. Lush, rich, and light to medium-bodied, its flavor profile is dominated by honeyed minerals. This spicy, well-balanced wine should be drunk over the next 3-4 years. Wine Advocate Highly perfumed, elegant, pure, fresh and subtly spicy aromas lead to bigger, rounder and notably rich flavors that offer impressive density and a mouth coating texture and a palate staining finish. This is full bodied with a glycerol sweetness to it yet the explosive finish is completely dry. This is an extremely impressive effort. Burghound Spiced apple and pear on the nose. Richer, riper and fatter than the 2001, with a silky texture and hints of exotic fruits. This big boy will be showy early on Steve Tanzer info@brownderby.com PG. 39

Wine Spectator the terraces jc CeLLaRs 2005 zinfandel Quarry Vineyard The 2005 Zinfandel comes from a truly great Napa vintage. The long and cool growing season produced Zinfandel of great color, body and aromatics. With the riper 2005 vintage came riper fruit and a higher alcohol level. The fruit profile on The Terraces Zinfandel continues to focus on fresh berries and not cooked or jammy fruit.

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.

45 Tenuta Dell Ornellaia 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: 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.

46 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. Gaja Grappa Darmagi half bottle Gaja Grappa Sperss half bottle Gaja Grappa Gaia Rey half bottle Ornellaia Grappa half bottle Tignanello Grappa half bottle Sassicaia Grappa half bottle Ornellaia Extra Virgin Olive Oil Ornellaia Extra Virgin Olive Oil is produced from approximately 2000 olive trees (many of them over 100 years old) growing on the Ornellaia Estate.

48 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 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 Poet s Leap Riesling 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. Rated 93/100, Wine Enthusiast Rated 91/100, Wine Advocate 2004 Chester-Kidder-Red Wine 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.

49 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 Gary Figgins, proprietor & winemaker of Leonetti Cellar Leonetti Cellar 2005 Merlot Very Serious! It is indisputable that Leonetti is the most sought-after wine in the Northwest.

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. $ per bottle PG. 50 Phone Local FAX

52 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. emmanuel reynaud, winemaker 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. 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 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 2004 Château Rayas Châteauneuf du Pape Medium red.

54 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 wines. Officer is not afraid to push ripeness 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.

58 Highly Rated and Very Much Sought After 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 years. Wine Advocate, rated 95/100 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 ,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 $ magnum $ magnum 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 Laurence Feraud, proprietor classic Provencal characteristics of melted 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 ,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 93/100 $ per bottle $ per magnum PG. 58 Phone Local FAX

62 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 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 its 2006 Bandol Rosé Bandol Rouge Bandol La Migoua Bandol La Tourtine 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 incredibly fresh and this is partially due to the late, and very long malos indeed, the malos just The Late denis mortet 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 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 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 PG. 62 Phone Local FAX

63 top flight Reds from south america 2003 CaRO Wine & Spirits Magazine tasted over 234 Argentina reds over the past 12 months and the 2003 CARO received their strongest praise! This joint venture between Lafite Rothschild and Catena is reaching one of the highest levels in Argentina with the 2003, a monumental and complex blend of Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon (50/50). It opens up with an enchanting cascade of toffee, chocolate, sweet spices and vibrant red fruit flavors; with air, a dusty mineral character and tobacco scent join in. The tannins feel as lean and tense as the muscles of a marathon runner, with the ability to hold the wine for the long haul. Save this bottle for ten years; then decant for roast boar. Wine & Spirits, rated 94/100 $ per bottle 2004 Casa Lapostolle Clos Apalta Arguably one of Chile s finest wines, Casa Lapostolle continues the tradition of quality with their 2004 Clos Apalt release. Since the 2000 vintage, Clos Apalta has been included in The Wine Spectator s Top Wines of the Year listing three times (2000, 2001, and 2003 vintages). Time will tell if the 2004 will join their ranks, however, the fact remains that Clos Apalta is consistently one of the best wines to come out of Chile. Pick up a few bottles today! Offers gorgeous aromas of crushed plum and boysenberry fruit, with notes of sweet tobacco, mocha and vanilla. Delivers a plush, silky texture through the fruit-filled finish, with a fine, buried minerality. Carmenère, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now through ,000 cases imported. Wine Spectator, rated 93/100 The 2004 Clos Apalta is composed of 86% Carmenere and 14 % Merlot. Purple colored, it has a splendid bouquet of pain grille, spice box, blueberry, and blackberry liqueur. This is followed by a rich, layered wine with excellent grip and plenty of ripe tannins. This nicely balanced effort should reach its peak in 5-6 years and drink well through 2027 Wine Advocate, rated 91/100 $ per bottle info@brownderby.com PG. 63
