The wine has a beautiful reddish/purple color as most good Malbecs do. The aromas are a mix of fresh crushed cherries and toasty/smoky oak—just enough to frame the exuberant fruit. On the palate, the flavors of cherries and spice are obvious, and the jammy fruit quality just keeps coming on strong, with hints of spice [...]

2008 Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc New Zealand
Winemaker Notes:
Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand is widely regarded as setting a global standard for this variety. A combination of dry and moderate climates gives near perfect cool climate growing conditions and assists with the intense varietal characters unique to Marlborough.
Deriving from the French word sauvage (“wild”) and blanc (“white”) ours is a crisp [...]
2005 Pio Cesare Barolo Italy
Winemaker’s Notes:
The color is an intense glossy garnet, with orange reflections. The bouquet is ethereal, with hints of violets, blackberry jam, licorice and cloves. The palate is dry and austere with lengthy tannins. The wine ends with a long concentrated finish accompanied by a lingering hint of almonds.

2008 Gilbert Picq Chablis
This classic, pure, stainless steel-fermented Chablis is a steal. The Picq family knows that quality begins in the vineyard and through careful training and pruning, they have given their “regular” cuvée the breeding of a premier cru. Didier Picq keeps yields very low, so the wine is always nervy, flinty, and minerally. Even the village [...]
2005 Yalumba Shiraz Viognier Australia
A combination of small (8 tonne) and large (30 tonne) fermenters have been used with a fermentation cycle of 8 to 12 days. Select parcels were fermented with a percentage of viognier grapes, other parcels were fermented with viognier juice. This has given a soft and stylish wine showing subtle viognier aromatics combined with the [...]
2006 Wishing Tree Shiraz Australia
Winemaker’s notes:
Red fruit characters along with spice and pepper notes jump out of the bottle as you open it. No mistaking this for anything other that a great Shiraz. Tasting (or drinking) reveals wonderful vibrant red and black fruit characters, with secondary spice and pepper notes, very much a trademark of Western Australian Shiraz. Great [...]
2006 Columbia Crest Grand Estates Cabernet
Tasting Notes
“Intense cherry, cassis and slight spice aromas lead to fruit-forward flavors of chocolate berry on the palate. This supple wine trails into a long finish that offers silky tannins and a slightly spiced cocoa finish.”
- Ray Einberger, Winemaker
