Our philosopy of a naturalistic approach to winemaking requires many non invasive but well timed events in the vineyard as well as in the cellar. The estate vineyard is worked completely by hand. The vines are short, close spaced and pruned to short canes. They are non-irrigated and sprayed only with elements naturally occuring in nature. While not strictly organic or biodynamic, we do lean away from high impact farming methods. Sustainable agriculture is practiced.

2010: Although this superb 2010 is built differently, it is as impressive as the extravagant 2009 and the prodigious 2005. A blend of 85% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc made from yields of 31 hectoliters per hectare, with 1... Robert Parker's Wine Advocate. A Bordeaux Blend wine from Bordeaux in France. 2010 Clos Fourtet 6000ml

91 points Robert Parker: "A blend of 80% Merlot and the rest equally split between Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, this wine has a dense purple color and a beautifully sweet nose of blackberry and blueberry fruits intermixed with acacia flowers, charcoal, and some subtle oak. The wine is nicely textured, medium-bodied, and very concentrated for a 2006 St.-Emilion, with a certain degree of opulence and sucrosite. This is a beauty, with moderate tannins in the finish. Anticipated maturity: ...

Red Wine by Clos du Bois from Sonoma County, California. 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 4% Petite Verdot, 3% Cabernet Franc and 3% Malbec. The 2006 Marlstone marries suave, concentrated structure with elegant fruit, making it as much a cellar selection as a natural fit for today's table. Inky black and ruby red in color, on the nose it pairs complex aromas of ripe wild blackberry fruit, plum and black licorice with pleasing notes of cigar box and brown spice. On the palate, the wine delivers...

"A brilliant effort for this vintage, yields were a mere 10 hectoliters per hectare in 2008 and the result is only 8,000 bottles produced. Opulent, fleshy and full-bodied, this wine has reigned in the excruciatingly high level of tannins, but the 15% alcohol gives it loads of glycerin as well as a chewy mouthfeel. Inky/purple-colored and super-concentrated with relatively civilized tannins, this stunning 2008 should be accessible in 3-5 years (atypical for Clos de Sarpe) and drink well for 30+."

I decanted this bottle for 2 hours before enjoying the blackberry, plum and currant flavors of this beauty. Initially, the nose was closed, but opened nicely to reveal spicebox and lavender along with the signature toasty oak. This will be perfect in another 2 or 3 years and will last for 20.

Description: After tasting it three times from bottle, I am convinced this prodigious wine is one of the greatest young Bordeaux I have ever tasted. Inky blue/purple with notes of camphor, forest floor, blackberry, cassis, sweet cherries, licorice, the wine has stunning aromatics, unctuous texture and an almost inky concentration, but without any hard edges. With considerable tannin and just enough acidity to provide definition, this wine transcends even its premier grand cru classe terroir. It is...

- Cabernet Sauvignon has come a long way from its role as a blending varietal, however dominant, in the wines of Bordeaux. Today it is the most planted red varietal in the world. Identified as a descendent of Cabernet Franc and Sauvignon Blanc, the late-ripening Cabernet Sauvignon needs to be planted in warmer climates to fully ripen. Its small berries can easily be identified for their distinctive blue color, thick skins and high tannins. And while the varietal has its own definitive characteristics...

St.-Emilion's smallest vineyard produces so little wine (600 or so cases) that it is virtually impossible to find. This beautiful site (somewhat ghoulishly situated adjacent to St.-Emilion's cemetery) produces what I have often called the "Lafleur of St.-Emilion." Classic notes of crushed rocks, spring flowers, kirsch, and even blacker fruits along with stunning nobility, complexity, and precision emerge from this beauty. The extraordinary 2005 possesses fabulous concentration, terrific texture,...

Ruby-red. Exotic aromas of berry liqueur, coffee and mocha. Supple and lush but with harmonious acidity giving shape to the flavors of black raspberry and chocolate. A plush, seamless wine with nicely restrained sweetness. Finishes with substantial g... Stephen Tanzer's IWC. A Bordeaux Blend wine from Bordeaux in France. 2006 Clos St Martin 1500ml

Red Wine by Clos du Bois from Sonoma County, California. The introductory, 1978 vintage of Marlstone stands as the first release of a Bordeaux-style wine from Sonoma County. The release of the 2003 vintage of this wine thus marks the 25th anniversary of Marlstone, and is the first vintage of this historic cuvee which winemaker Erik Olsen has shepherded from vineyard to bottle. This wine's inky, deep, ruby color promises intensity and depth. Its generous nose reveals layers of aromas: from black...

2005 vintage of this wine was ranked #1 on Wine Spectator's Top 10 Wines of 2008 Deep purple inky red color. On nose, focused, with a very special purity of fresh black and red fruit and elegant herbs aromas. Elegant and balance on palate with silky and juicy tannins. More fruit flavors and a very long finish. Open and leave to breafor a couple of hours or carefully decant for minimum one hour and enjoy at room temperature; 16 to 18ºC (60 to 65°F). Ideal companion for game, lamb, and entrecote fillet...

Dark garnet-red color. nose is well-focused, concentrated, and marked by ripe, almost jammy black fruit aromas as well as plum and cherry. wine's very appearance – especially rich, deeply-colored legs on side of glass – are typical of a sunny vintage. Imposing on palate with a firm structure thanks to solid, youthful tannin. long aftertaste has hints of smokiness and juicy black fruit. 2003 Clos l'Eglise absolutely needs to be decanted at least one hour before serving at this stage to soften it and...
