1 VVW News - April 2015 IRRESISTABLE RHONE RED 2012 Sablet (Notre Dame des Pallières) If you ve shopped here for awhile, you probably remember the oceans of Sablet we sold in the late 1980s and through most of the 1990s. Chateau du Trignon s Sablet was our best selling red wine for years and years, a delicious, reliable Rhone red at a bargain basement price. Sadly Trignon was sold, their quality declined, and it faded from the scene. But now we are back in the Sablet business with our current favorite for Rhone Valley bargains, Notre Dame des Pallières. Sablet is a village just north of Gigondas, in the sea of vineyards that covers the plain between Gigondas and Châteauneuf-du-Pape. Notre Dame des Pallières Sablet is mostly Grenache with a portion of Syrah. This 2012 is fabulous right now, deep ruby red, a gorgeous fruit-driven aroma, its juicy, ripe fruit rippling with flavor and character. It s comfort wine, best enjoyed casually and uncritically, but you ll find yourself pondering how something this cheap can be this good Sablet (Notre Dame des Pallières) $15.00 HALF-CASE SPECIAL 15 Percent Off $76.50 ($76.50/6 bottles = $12.75/bottle) SENSATIONAL OLD VINE SONOMA ZINFANDEL 2012 Ancient Field Blend Old Hill Ranch (Bucklin) If you ve ever liked Zin in the past, but the contemporary style of jammy, overly-extracted, one-dimensional fruitbombs has turned you off, this is the Zinfandel to re-ignite your passion. Old Hill Ranch is in Glen Ellen, and is one of the oldest vineyard sites in Sonoma. It is a unique field blend of ancient, dry-farmed vines, like many of the vineyards planted in the late 1800 s. It is predominately Zinfandel, but has significant interplantings of Grenache, Mourvèdre, Petite Sirah, Alicante Bouchet and at least two dozen other grape varietals. Will Bucklin s family bought the property in the early 1980s and nursed it back to health. Joel Peterson of Ravenswood began buying grapes in 1984, and soon his Old Hill Ranch bottlings became one of California s most sought after Zinfandels. Will Bucklin took over the management of the property from his stepfather in the late 1990s, and released his first vintage in The 2012 was recently released, and wow, what a gorgeous Zinfandel! It has oodles of fruit and flavor, it is plenty rich and deep, but unlike almost all the other Zinfandels made today, it retains a sense of refinement and precision. It is not a wine you tire of after one taste. Its flavors are alive, a constantly changing interplay of fruits and spices that will evolve and delight throughout your meal. There is a transparency and freshness to it that is virtually unique amongst today s Zinfandels. Congrats to Will Bucklin on this superb California red Ancient Field Blend Old Hill Ranch (Bucklin) $38.00 APRIL HALF-CASE SPECIAL 15 Percent Off $ ($193.50/6 bottles = $32.25/bottle) HALF-CASE SAMPLER 20 PERCENT OFF Jean-Marc Boillot s 2013 White Burgundies Here is our annual White Burgundy sampler from Jean-Marc Boillot, featuring one Bourgogne, one Montagny, and one Rully. Boillot s 2013s are superb, with pristine, seductive aromas, juicy Chardonnay fruit flavors unencumbered by oak, bright acidity, and lingering dry finishes. The Bourgogne Blanc is from the village of Puligny-Montrachet, and shows the class and tension Pulignys are renowned for. The Montagny and Rully, both from the Cote Chalonnaise district, outperform most producer s villages-level Meursaults and Chassagne- Montrachets. All three have great youthful energy and vibrancy if you want to enjoy them young, and promise to show more depth and complexity with a bit of bottle age. If you re tired of the more ponderous style of most domestic Chardonnays, you ll find these invigorating Bourgogne Blanc (Jean-Marc Boillot)... $ Montagny Premier Cru (Jean-Marc Boillot)... $ Rully Meix Cadot (Jean-Marc Boillot)... $ BOILLOT 2013 WHITE BURGUNDY SAMPLER 2 bottles of each - 20 Percent Off - $ ($179.50/6 bottles = $29.92/bottle)
2 2 GERMANY S DRY GRAND CRUS 2013 Riesling Grosses Gewachs APRIL SPECIAL - 15 PERCENT OFF on purchases of three or more bottles of German Grosses Gewächs Regular 15% Off 2013 Riesling Grosses Gewächs "Rosengarten" (Spreitzer)... $ $ Riesling Grosses Gewächs "Wisselbrunnen" (Spreitzer)... $ $ It would be hard to imagine two more opposite wines. Rosengarten is all about fruit and yumminess. Even in 2013, though it s angular out of the gate, the finish is suave and juicy, and the whole thing s like a herb-and-fruit smoothie. Wisselbrunnen is almost anti-fruit; it s firm, in control and sure of itself, and shows the greater complexity. But Rosengarten is more adorable. - Terry Theise, Importer 2013 Riesling Grosses Gewächs Felsenberg (Dönnhoff)... $ $ Riesling Grosses Gewächs Dellchen (Dönnhoff)... $ $ This is what is meant by Grand Cru. It s overwhelmed by an ancient stony mass it is the earth performing a high mass, the wine transubstantiates the innermost body, the viscera and the muscle of the world. A big cold splash of mint and stones and garrigue and ginger and lemon zest and salts oh, forget it. We ll never understand it. We can only stand before it, mute and grateful. (++) - Terry Theise, Importer 2013 Riesling Grosses Gewächs Hermannshöhle (Dönnhoff)... $ $ Riesling Grosses Gewächs Kalkofen (von Winning)... $ $ The Les Clos of the estate, the most power and concentration and in a sense the easiest wine to get as it s big-and-bold, but far from simple. Brothy and explosive, tortilla chips and remoulade and dried apricot. (++) - Terry Theise, Importer FOUR BEAUTIES FROM A SUPERB VINTAGE 2007 BARBARESCOS APRIL SPECIAL - 15 PERCENT OFF on purchases of three or more bottles of 2007 Barbarescos Regular 15% Off 2007 Barbaresco Brich Ronchi (Albino Rocca)... $ $ The 2007 Barbaresco Vigneto Brich Ronchi is a seductive Barbaresco endowed with superb purity and definition in its dark red fruit. Texturally brilliant and refined, the Bric Ronchi impresses for its fabulous concentration and equally remarkable finesse. There is a weightless elegance to the Brich Ronchi in this vintage that I find particularly appealling, and in a big way (94/100) - Antonio Galloni, Vinousmedia.com 2007 Barbaresco Bric Balin (Moccagatta)... $ $ The 2007 Barbaresco Bric Balin is simply gorgeous. This is a decidedly fat, generous Bric Balin endowed with layers of red fruit, cinnamon, cloves and crushed flowers. The oak is very nicely balanced. In 2007 the Bric Balin possesses an unusual amount of depth and textural richness. This is an impressive effort from Moccagatta (93/100) - Antonio Galloni, Vinousmedia.com 2007 Barbaresco Bordini (La Spinetta)... $ $ The 2007 Barbaresco Vigneto Bordini is truly beautiful. A translucent red, the Bordini flows with the essence of crushed flowers, berries and sweet baking spices, all of which come together in a mid-weight frame. This shows lovely density and richness in a classy, understated style, with plenty of detail and a long, polished finish. In 2007 the Bordini is a gem from La Spinetta (92/100) - Antonio Galloni, Vinousmedia.com 2007 Barbaresco Cole (Moccagatta)... $ $ The 2007 Barbaresco Cole emerges from the glass with black cherries, mocha, menthol, spices, new leather and minerals, all wrapped around an intense wall of tannins. This powerful, muscular Barbaresco is pretty atypical in 2007, but it is fabulous just the same. The only thing the Cole needs is time. It is one of the very finest wines I have ever tasted from Moccagatta (93+/100) - Antonio Galloni, Vinousmedia.com
3 PRE-ARRIVAL SALES 2010 Brunello di Montalcinos BRIZIO CAPRILI LE CHIUSE DI SOTTO UCCELLIERA VOLIERO Please inquire or visit for details 2012 Red Burgundy Rareties APRIL SPECIAL - 15 PERCENT OFF on purchases of six or more bottles of 2012 Red Burgundies Regular 15% Off 2012 Pommard Les Jarollières (La Pousse d Or)... $ $ There is a subtle touch of wood framing the ultra-fresh nose of just turned earth, game and dark currant aromas that display a background hint of underbrush. There is an excellent sense of verve to the less obviously mineral-driven medium-bodied flavors that possess really lovely balance and strikingly good length. This is lovely and worth considering (91/100) - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com 2012 Corton Clos du Roi (La Pousse d Or)... $ $ A more deeply pitched and overtly sauvage nose displays notes of iron-infused earth along with ripe and fresh dark currant and cassis aromas. There is excellent size, weight, power and concentration to the big-bodied flavors that coat the palate with dry extract on the intensely mineral-infused finish where a touch of wood surfaces. This is a substantial wine even by the outsized standards of a fine Clos du Roi (92/100) - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com 2012 Volnay Les Santenots du Mileu (Comte Lafon)... $ $ The medium-bodied flavors possess exemplary mid-palate concentration as the copious dry extract really coats the palate and does a fine job of buffering the phenolically mature tannins that are quite firm but not hard. I very much like the seductive texture (91-94/100) - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com 2012 Chambolle-Musigny (La Pousse d Or)... $ $ I would advise decanting this if you're going to try a bottle young. The silky-textured and intensely mineral-driven middle weight flavors are utterly delicious before terminating in an impeccably well-balanced and refined finish. This is textbook Chambolle and recommended (89/100) - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com 2012 Chambolle-Musigny Les Feusselottes (La Pousse d Or)... $ $ This offers a noticeable step up in aromatic elegance with its ultra-fresh, cool and restrained nose that is comprised of essence of red and blue pinot fruit, spice and stone nuances. There is excellent tension and beautiful delineation to the racy and silky medium-bodied flavors that also exude a fine bead of minerality on the delicious finish that tightens up quickly. This is a really beautiful and harmonious effort, indeed the word Zen comes to mind (92/100) - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com 2012 Morey-Saint-Denis Alouettes (Ponsot)... $ $ There is a fine sense of energy and really lovely delineation to the lightly mineral-inflected middle weight flavors that possess very solid mid-palate concentration and a high level of phenolic maturity to the supporting tannins, all wrapped in a balanced and admirably lingering finish. This almost always delivers excellent quality and the 2012 version should be no exception (90-92/100) - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com SPECIAL TASTING EVENT EIGHT VINTAGE VERTICAL Jean-Louis Chave L Hermitage Rouge 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, 2004 WEDNESDAY APRIL 22 7pm PRE-PAID RESERVATIONS REQUIRED COST $275 (no additional charge for two people to share one tasting) 3
4 White Burgundies APRIL SPECIAL - 20 PERCENT OFF on purchases of three or more bottles of 2010 White Burgundies Regular 20% Off 2010 Pouilly-Fuissé En Buland Vieilles Vignes (Daniel Barraud)....$ $ This possesses a nose with a mix of aromas that are quite similar to that of the La Roche except that here there is even better overall depth. There is good richness and vitality to the overtly muscular and broad-shouldered flavors that ooze a palate coating extract on the explosive, dry and incredibly long finish. It s interesting how such a large-scaled wine can retain such a fine sense of underlying harmony. In a word, brilliant (93/100) - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com 2010 Beaune Les Aigrots (de Montille)... $ $ Chassagne-Montrachet Les Caillerets (Vincent Morey)... $ $ Bright pale yellow. Chalky aromas and flavors of crushed stone, lavender and nutmeg lifted by a floral topnote. Densely packed, rich and tactile, with lovely energy and mid-palate sweetness. Beautifully balanced wine with an unflagging, saline finish. (93/100) - Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 2010 Chassagne-Montrachet Vide Bourse (Thomas Morey)... $ $ Puligny-Montrachet Les Folatières (Francois Carillon)... $ $ Puligny-Montrachet La Truffière (Vincent Morey)... $ $ Puligny-Montrachet Les Champs-Gains (Francois Carillon)... $ $ Puligny-Montrachet La Truffière (Thomas Morey)... $ $ Medium lemon-yellow. Aromatic nose combines musky peach, lemon zest and clove oil. Fat, broad and sweet on the front half, then tighter and more citrussy on the back, with solid underlying minerality giving grip to the sappy, saline, mounting finish. Communicates the energy of the vintage and leaves the taste buds vibrating. No shortage of power here. (92-94/100) - Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 2010 Puligny-Montrachet Les Perrieres (Francois Carillon)... $ $ Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes (Francois Carillon)... $ $ Puligny-Montrachet Champ-Canet (Etienne Sauzet)... $ $ There is a hint of the exotic to the otherwise more typical aromas of dried yellow orchard fruits that include apricot, peach and mango. The textured, intense and mouth coating flavors are concentrated, serious and beautifully well-balanced on the superbly long finish. This is a very classy wine and if not the most complex among these Puligny 1ers, then perhaps the most refined (92-94/100) - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com 2010 Puligny-Montrachet Les Combettes (Etienne Sauzet)... $ $ The seductively textured flavors are not quite as concentrated as those of the Champs Canet but they re even more complex with really lovely purity of expression. There is excellent volume to the explosive, intense and driving finish that is unusually dry, balanced and long. Like its stable mate, this is exceptionally classy and my predicted range obviously assumes that the sulfur will be integrated successfully in time but in this case that should not be a significant risk as this clearly has the material to do so, not to mention very much needing extended cellaring (92-95/100) - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com 2010 Corton-Charlemagne (Dubreuil-Fontaine)... $ $ A touch of reduction does not materially detract from the elegant, pure and gorgeously complex aromas of green apple, rose petal, green fruit and an almost pungent minerality that also makes quite the impression on the exceptionally rich, intense and overtly powerful flavors. This is a big wine with excellent mid-palate concentration that does not compromise the sense of focus and tension on the explosively long finish. This is a knockout with plenty of aging potential (94/100) - Allen Meadows, Burghound.com 2010 Corton-Charlemagne (Bouchard)... $ $ Highly nuanced nose combines apple, flower blossom, crushed stone, white truffle and menthol, with a saline seashell quality emerging with air. Then stubbornly backward in the mouth. Broad and large-scaled but without any impression of weight. An infant today. (92-96/100) - Stephen Tanzer, International Wine Cellar 2010 Corton-Charlemagne Quintessence (Vincent Girardin)... $ $

This flight showcases six compelling bottlings, three each from the Cote de Beaune and Cote de Nuits Pommard Les Jarollières (La Pousse d Or); 2012 Corton Clos du Roi (La Pousse d Or); 2012 Volnay Les Santenots du Milleu (Comte Lafon); 2012 Chambolle-Musigny (La Pousse d Or); 2012 Chambolle-Musigny Les Feusselottes (La Pousse d Or); 2012 Morey-Saint-Denis Alouettes (Ponsot).
