The overall growing season climate in Spring Mountain tends to be slightly warmer than other Napa mountain AVAs due to its position in the valley. These growing conditions provide Spring Mountain with considerable versatility; creating the perfect blend of climate, soils and exposure for growing Cabernet Sauvignon. The wines from Spring Mountain often display more moderate fruit definition, and a suppler mouthfeel than the same grapes from other Napa Valley mountain appellations. This 2004

Garnet-red with ruby highlights that take on a slightly orange tone over time, it has a clear-cut, intense nose with overtones of vanilla, spices, withered roses and underbrush; its taste is dry, but soft, full-bodied, velvety and well balanced, and is very long-lasting. Robert Parker's Wine Advocate review of 2003 vintage: 90 points. 2003 Barolo Serralunga is a terrific effort. This deeply-colored, explosive Barolo is packed with smoke, tar, licorice and dark, ripe fruit. Made in a full-bodied style, it

A blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and 35% Pinotage. The Cabernet Sauvignon comes from well established vineyards on a farm in Firgrove and the Pinotage from 17 year old vineyards on the Franschhoek farm. The Cabernet was matured in French Oak for 13 months, while the Pinotage matured for 10 months in American Oak before blending and bottling.This wine is a typical expression of a well structured, unique South African blend. Flavours of plum, cinnamon and cigarbox, followed by a lengthy
Antinoris 2003 Brunello di Montalcino Pian delle Vigne is a sleek, racy wine loaded with sweet dark fruit intermingled with delicate notes of tobacco and sweet toasted oak that flow from its soft-textured frame. The wine shows notable balance in this vintage, with well-integrated tannins and plenty of harmony. Ideally it might offer greater persistence and more varietal character, but this is still a very strong effort. Anticipated maturity: 2008 -2015 & #46 ; -Antonio Galloni Wine Advocate 91
Aged 10 months in French oak, the unfined/unfiltered 2003 Marti Fabra Seleccio Vinyes Velles (70% Grenache, 10% Carignan, 10% Tempranillo, and equal parts Syrah and Cabernet Sauvignon) exhibits a rich, sweet perfume of black cherries and earth, an elegant

It is the goal of Bernardus to create a wine that will rival the finest from Bordeaux This wine will be subtly balanced with complexity and proportion, rather than varietal character or intensity, To achieve this dream,Marinus vineyard was planted in 1990 in the upper Carnel Valley, Situated on 210 stunning acres are planted to Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot The Marinus vineyard is planted to 15 diverse blending blocks, each one contributing distinct flavour profiles The blocks are identified by terroir
The Bouscaut reds have a strong Merlot character which makes them unusual for the region. Cabernet Sauvignon does however make up 40% of the blend, endowing it with a lot of sappiness. As for the Cot or Malbec varietal, it adds to our wine???s originality with its hint of easily distinguishable spiciness. Over the last few years our wines have become more accessible and pleasant when still young, than previously. They are of course also wines with great aging potential that remain attractive and exciting
The Wine Advocate As usual, this superb Pauillac possesses an inky/blue/black color in addition to a big, sweet nose of graphite, charcoal, burning embers, black currant liqueur, and toasty vanillin from new oak casks Full-bodied with high but sweet, well-integrated tannins, the 2005 Pichon Baron is more backward than the blockbuster 2003 or prodigious 2000 Nevertheless, it is a superb effort whose power, length, and tannic structure suggest it should be at its peak between 2015-2035 Score: 94 -Robert

While I am not convinced the 2005 Cos d'Estournel will eclipse the compelling 2003 Cos, it is unquestionably another superb classic from proprietor Michel Reybier and his brilliant winemaker, Jean-Guillaume Prats Made from an unusually high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon (78%) and the balance mostly Merlot with a tiny dollop of Cabernet Franc, this superb effort requires plenty of time in the bottle It boasts an inky/purple color as well as a glorious perfume of licorice, Asian spices, creme de cassis,

A beautiful, balanced, botrytised Sauternes from Bordeaux. Great complexity and fruit with a long, lingering finish. Gold medalist at the 2006 Concours Mondial in Brussels.
An intense wine with deep aromas and flavors of rich berries, and hints of vanilla and violets. The wine has great structure is very well balanced yet surprisingly supple in its texture. Grapes are from 4.5 acre 100% organic hillside vineyard in Oakville that rises above Robert Mondavi's famous To-Kolan vineyard.

Arguably one of the top Gruners from winemaker Franz Josef Gritsch. 90 points from Falstaff Wine Guide.
Three world-class Pinot Noirs from Oregon. First, a 2006 Eyrie Vineyards Pinot. A pioneer in the viticulture of Pinot Noir, Eyrie Vineyards produces a classic Pinot Noir of complexity, elegance and finesse. Erath Vineyards Pinot Noir presents bright red. Strawberry and cranberry aromas lifted by zesty white pepper and nutmeg. Light-bodied and taut, with refreshingly bitter cherry and wild strawberry flavors and an exotic suggestion of orange peel. Finishes with fine-grained tannins and lingering flavors of
