"7% Merlot; 5% Cabernet Franc; 2% Petit Verdot. Deep, well-defined curranty fruit is the driving force of this nicely extracted, young Cabernet, while complementary oak and deft touches of cocoa lend a boost in overall richness. If fairly full-bodied, the wine shows nary a hint of heaviness and sports a fine sense of balance from beginning to end.

Color: Medium intensity ruby red with slight garnet reflections.

St. Clement Cabernet Sauvignon 1997 — $35.99
The driving flavor in this vintage is the density of black fruits. This wine is both rich and round, dense and juicy. The sweetness from the oak, along with the heavy toast on some of the barrels, offers a good balance to the brightness of the fruit. Cabernet Sauvignon is the flagship wine at St. Clement and this vintage confirms our convictions. While the softer tannins allow this vintage to be consumed today, additional aging of up to 10 years is certainly possible.

Clos Apalta is the ultimate expression of Casa Lapostolle's dedication to quality made from the best grapes from our Apalta vineyard. This wine, not produced every year, is a belnd of Merlot, Carmenere, and Cabernet Sauvignon from 60-100 year old pre-phylloxera vines.

Perrier-Jouet Fleur de Champagne with Gift Box 2000 — $72.99
The robe touches on an intense yellow. The first bouquet develops floral and fruity aromas, such as magnolia or a hint of candied lemon.

The attack is forthright and fresh, without being aggressive, before developing a full and generous sensation in the mouth: this is when we speak of the charm of Fleur de Champagne. Like a symphony, these...

Frog's Leap Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 1998 — $38.99

Concha y Toro Casillero del Diablo Sauvignon Blanc 2002 — $9.99

Murphy-Goode Adam's Knoll Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 — $13.49
Rick and Kathy Adams planted their 7.5-acre vineyard on an ancient, rock-strewn deposit left by the meandering Russian River, the defining geographic landmark in the Alexander Valley. The rocky soil stresses the vines into producing small clusters with tiny berries, resulting in concentrated flavors. California Bay Laurel trees at one corner of the vineyard and a stand of Eucalyptus trees on the opposing corner impart subtle minty flavors to the Cabernet Sauvignon grapes.

Yalumba Hand Picked Barossa Shiraz/Viognier 2003 — $33.99
"Another upgrade in the huge hierarchy at Yalumba, the Hand Picked selections are all impressive. The dramatic 2003 Shiraz/Viognier (95% Shiraz and 5% Viognier) is exotic and flamboyant.

Concha y Toro Terrunyo Sauvignon Blanc 2007 — $22.99
"Lean and bracing at first, with flint and lime notes, this slowly opens to show more gooseberry, chive flower and sea salt flavors that ripple through the lengthy, mouthwatering finish. Drink now."

Yalumba Antique Reserve Tawny Port (half-bottle) — $16.49
Four decades ago my father Wyndham initiated the practice of putting aside a few barrels of each years production of our deluxe tawny ports. Known in the cellar as "Antique Tawny", these wines are left to quietly mature in various corners of our marble cellars. During this ageing process, evaporation (known as the "Angels Share") occurs at between 2.5% and 4.5% each and every year. Our master port blender, David Doc Zimmermann, then painstakingly assembles a wine with an average age of over 15 years...

Marques de Arienzo Reserva 1994 — $17.99

Beringer Bancroft Ranch Merlot 1995 — $76.49
The black fruit and berry flavors in this Merlot are so rich and ripe that it could almost fool you into thinking it was a Cabernet, but there is a haunting difference --- a note of licorice or anise that identifies it immediately for me as Bancroft Ranch Merlot. A wine should have a signature, a consistency of style that identifies it while allowing for the variations that are inevitable and fascinating from vintage to vintage. In this 1995 vintage, the texture is almost chewy but supple, a characteristic...

Bonny Doon Vin Gris de Cigare 2006 — $15.79
We continue down the primrose path of insinuating a substantial dollop of white wine —principally Grenache Blanc — into our typical blend of red varieties. Though not a technique practiced widely in Vin Gris' spiritual homeland of Provence, we find the addition of rich white wine adds some incremental gravity and seriousness without jeopardizing the final blend’s personal and electrochemical vivacity — a quality critical in the perfect aperitif, or if one wishes to wash down a Salade Niçoise under...

Terrazas Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 — $15.79
Palate: More berries and spices open to richness on the mid-palate. Tight structure with a nice grip, and robust body with a sleek and persistent finish.

Taltarni Three Monks Cabernet Merlot 2006 — $16.29
Grapes for the Taltarni Three Monks Cabernet Merlot 2006 were sourced entirely from Taltarni’s Pyrenees vineyard. 2006 was a dry, warm vintage with lower yields producing ripe, concentrated fruit that was harvested two weeks earlier than expected.

Francis Coppola Diamond Merlot 2005 — $18.29
Disappointing to say the least. Bland, difficult to distinguish the varietal if you did not know what you were drinking. There are numerous splendid wines on the market at this price point, so stay away from this one. It is evident that the grapes used to make this particular Merlot must of come from a hogpog of grapes from varying areas and perhaps even less than desirable grapes. Roger was right, it tastes like beard hair and Sofia's sweat.

Vinos Pinol Portal Crianza 2003 — $16.99
"A stunning value, the 2003 Portal Crianza (a blend of 30% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Grenache, 10% Syrah, and 10% Tempranillo) is a Spanish red to buy by the case. Aged 12 months in American and French oak, and bottled unfiltered, it is a dense, opulent, amazingly concentrated effort with loads of black cherry and cassis fruit intermixed with hints of earth, truffles, smoke, and spice.

Louis Jadot Meursault 2001 — $29.99
The wines of Meursault are the most charming and feminine of the Côte des Blancs, less rich than those of Puligny and more subtle than those of Chassagne. A naturally high glycerine content lends the wine a lovely, mellow roundness which neither compromises its dry freshness nor its ability to age with exceptional grace. Meursault has a fragrant, ripe, full-fruited bouquet which is confirmed on the palate, a generous, supple texture, and the distinctive hazelnut and spice nuances which carry into...

Stags Leap Winery Cabernet Sauvignon 2000 — $49.99
This is a classic wine complete with the Stags’ Leap signature…the briary note in both the aromas and the flavors.” In the mouth, this wine is full and elegant. Supple and yet firm tannin extractions are the result of fermenting the wine in small lots and hand-punching the caps during extended maceration. The nose is pretty with prominent red fruit aromas threaded with sweet vanilla, cedar and the distinctive Stags' Leap briar aroma. Ripe cherry, currant and raspberry flavors intermingle with vanilla...

Monte Antico Rosso 2000 — $13.99
This Sangiovese varietal is the result of the synergy between Italian wine specialist Neil Empson and renowned winemaker Franco Bernabei.

Newton Claret 2002 — $28.99
I found that this particular wine has an incredible flavor that enables total enjoyment of any red meat wih a higher fat content. Specifically Prime Rib Eyes or Porter House. Despite the enormity of flavor; the taste and dining experience is not overwhelmed. In fact, this wine is part of the actual meal as opposed to a beverage. Wonderful and certainly in my wine rack.

Ravenswood Barricia Vineyard Zinfandel 2001 — $33.99

Lungarotti Vino Santo 1993 — $19.49

La Crema Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2006 — $21.99
Like the Burgundy wine region of France, the vineyards of Sonoma Coast offer an unusually long, cool and even growing season. Lingering fog and wind from the nearby Pacific Ocean (or, in Los Carneros' case, the San Pablo Bay) moderate temperatures throughout the growing season and slow the ripening process. With an extended "hang" time on the vines, the results at harvest are small berries with firm acidity and highly concentrated varietal aromas and flavors.
