2007 Robert Mondavi Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon — $99.95
95+pts(WA) The full-bodied, powerful, pure 2007 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is another outstanding effort revealing notes of spring flowers, toasty oak, creme de cassis, licorice, and graphite.

2004 Il Poggione Brunello Di Montalcino 95pts (WA) The 2004 Brunello di Montalcino is awesome. This finessed, regal Brunello flows onto the palate with seamless layers of perfumed fruit framed by silky, finessed tannins. The wine remains extremely primary at this stage, and its full range of aromas and flavors have yet to emerge, but the sheer pedigree of this Brunello is unmistakable. The elegant, refined finish lasts an eternity, and subtle notes of menthol, spices, licorice and leather add final...
2007 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia — $179.95
2007 Tenuta San Guido Sassicaia 95pts(WA)The 2007 Sassicaia (Cabernet Sauvignon) explodes onto the palate with masses of rich, opulent fruit that caress the palate with gorgeous length and a seamless beauty that is hard to fully capture. Dark wild cherries, plums, spices, minerals and herbs develop in the glass. This is an especially bold, perhaps slightly uncharacteristic Sassicaia in its extroverted personality, but it is beautiful all the same. The inner perfume and sweetness carries through...

2007 Antinori Tignanello Toscana IGT — $79.95
2007 Antinori Tignanello Toscana 95pts(WA) Antinori’s 2007 Tignanello is wonderfully ripe and seductive in its dark cherries, flowers, spices, tobacco, sage, cedar, mint and minerals. This is as opulent a Tignanello as I have ever tasted but there is just enough acidity and structure from the Sangiovese to keep things from going over the top. The wine’s richness and warmth are such that in a blind tasting I mistook the 2007 Tignanello for a wine from Maremma! The dense, muscular fruit follows through...

2009 Alta Maria Pinot Noir Santa Maria Valley — $23.95
Distinctive earthy, spicy notes, and autumnal, vegetative/forest characteristics. The fruit is pushed to the background in this dark ruby, very Burgundian style of wine, which displays loads of complex aromatics in a more leafy, vegetative style in this particular year. This medium-bodied Pinot should drink nicely for 3-4 years.
2009 Orin Swift the Prisoner Zinfandel Blend — $34.95

2006 Robert Craig Cabernet Sauvignon Mt Veeder — $59.95
93pts(WA) The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Mt. Veeder (81% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Merlot) plays it slightly closer to the vest, and at least at this tasting, seemed to be the most backward and tannic of these wines, which surprised me. There is some creme de cassis fruit intermixed with lead pencil shavings and an almost truffle-like note, but the wine is backward and foreboding. A muscular wine, it needs 3-4 years of bottle age, but should certainly be another 20+-year wine.

2008 Beringer Private Reserve Chardonnay — $24.95
91pts ( CGW ) Never a shrinking violet, Beringer's Private Reserve Chardonnay is once again a rich, fully expressed big-bodied offering with early smells of honey and ripe apples and underlying suggestions of pastry crust, Meyer lemons and sweet cream. Somewhat soft at entry and viscous to the point of being just a bit heavy, this one never lacks for personality, and while it could use a touch more acidity to go with many dishes, it has all the depth and range to accompany blackened salmon or a lightly...

2008 Plumpjack Reserve Chardonnay — $45.95
Winery Notes: Although the 2008 PlumpJack Reserve Chardonnay is in the same line as the past vintages the wine is a bit more nuanced. Aromas of white peaches, pear, orange blossom and warm apple pie filling are followed on the palate with flavors of Fuji apples, cinnamon stick and lemon curd.

2008 Caymus Special Selection Cabernet Sauvignon MAGNUM — $294.95
Special Selection has always been considered a slightly more complex wine that historically has proven to be more age worthy. There’s truth to this belief - in retrospective tastings the Special Selection has outlived its sibling, the “Napa Valley” Cabernet Sauvignon. As a rule, the Special has had higher tannin content, and although the tannins are fine-grained and soft even in youth, they continue to provide grip and texture over the years. The only wine to be named Wine Spectator's 'Wine...

2007 Shafer Syrah Relentless — $54.95
96pts(CGW) It is no exaggeration to say the 2007 version may just be the best Relentless to date, but even if not, it is a deep and formidable wine by any standard. Its inky appearance correctly implies a wine of great weight and extract, but, what separates this bottling from its equally well-filled predecessors is its terrific sense of structure and balance. It is tough to be sure, but it never lets go of its plentiful, peppery, blackberry fruit, and it will not come close to showing its...
