95 Pts Wine Advocate Elderton Ashmead Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 "The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Ashmead is a single vineyard selection aged for 18 months in new French 300-liter barrels (aka hogsheads). It offers up a superb bouquet of pain grille, pencil lead, scorched earth, espresso, spice box, black currant, and blackberry liqueur. Opulent on the palate, it has gobs of succulent black fruit, well-concealed ripe tannins, impeccable balance, and a long finish. Cellar it for 5-7 years and drink it from 2014 to 2028."

95 Pts Gary Vaynerchuk Chateau Balthus La Reserve 2006 "Chateau Balthus is a stunning project from Yves Vatelot (owner of Chateau Reignac) is now in it's 5th vintage, and has gotten better every vintage. The inaugural release of the La Reserve bottling is off and running right out of the box. This elegant and complex Merlot-driven wine is made for the long haul. Showing excellent acid and tannin structure, with supple fruits and great depth of character, this fabulous red should last for 15 to 20 years, possibly more. 100% Merlot."
The La Reserve Cuvee for Balthus is 100% Merlot like the estate's traditional bottling, however this wine is from selected barrels chosen by Gary Vaynerchuk. $74.98 on Sale

95 Pts Wine Enthusiast "We would not have expected anything to match the stellar 2004 San Roman, but this newest vintage is up to the task. It`s opaque as midnight without a moon, and the nose is a delectable blend of vanilla, spice, hickory, mocha and meaty blackberry. The palate is both magnetic and sly; it pumps black fruit galore, but augments things with controlled chocolate and spice. Finishes a mile long, with cream, intensity and guile. This wine does not mess around. Best from 2010–2016."

92 Pts Wine Spectator "This is very jammy on the nose, but impressive with lots of raspberry and blackberry aromas. Full-bodied, soft and round, with loads of opulent fruit. Lots of vanilla on the finish. Thick and caressing. Flamboyant red here. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best after 2006. 1,915 cases made."
"Although the 2003 Giusto di Notri, a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, may not quite reach the level of the 2004 it too is outstanding. Boasting an attractive set of super-ripe fruit, earth, herb and well-integrated oak sensations, it is a plump, juicy Giusto di Notri that should provide its best drinking within the next few years. Like so many 2003s it suffers from slightly hard, drying tannins but there is enough fruit to provide balance and the tannins have become better integrated since I last tasted this wine a few months ago. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2013." -91 Points - Antonio Galloni - The Wine Advocate $49.98 on Sale

94 Pts Robert Parker Conn Valley Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2006 "In the more irregular vintage of 2006, the Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve has also turned out strong, with sweet creme de cassis fruit intermixed with incense, charcoal, and hints of asphalt and creosote, along with some subtle smoky barrel smells. The wine has a big, substantial mouthfeel, firm but sweet tannins, and a generous, savory finish with outstanding purity and extract. This wine is more backward, as one might expect in this vintage, but it promises to evolve for 25+ years as well."

94 Pts Wine Spectator Vitanza Brunello Di Montalcino 2004 "This is impressive for the vintage, with loads of crushed berries and spices, as well as hints of leather and flowers. Full-bodied, with soft and silky tannins and a long finish of sweet fruit. Rich and exciting. Better than the 2001. Best after 2010. 8,000 cases made."

90 Pts Wine Spectator Castello Di Ruggero Toscana 2007 "Currant, cassis and ripe plum on the nose. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins, ripe fruit and a hint of dark chocolate. Merlot and Cabernet. Best after 2011. 200 cases made."

92 Pts Wine Advocate "The 2005 Galena is a blend of 35% Garnacha Negra, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and 15% Carinena aged for 12 months in French and American oak. Purple-colored, it offers an enticing bouquet of cedar, spice box, earth, mineral, black cherry, and black currant. Supple-textured, ripe, and already complex, this easy-going effort is already delivering much pleasure although it will continue to evolve for another 2-3 years. Drink it through 2020." 92 Points - Jay Miller - Robert Parker's the Wine Advocate
"When tasting this wine it became very apparent to me that I needed to nail this deal down and fast. This wine is fascinating and more importantly over delivers for $40 let alone $25, the elegance is usually only relegated to the top wines of Bordeaux. Priorat has clearly taken its stage at the top of the wine world with this effort and I can tell you right now that you must grab a case for your cellar and your children for this wine will last for 20-30 years" - 94 Points - Gary Vaynerchuk $24.98 on Sale

90 Pts Wine & Spirits "Built on a solid base of black currant and cherry flavors, this 100 percent tinto fino slowly expands its flavor profile to a spicier tone, while the tannins remain firm. For roast baby lamb." -90 Points - Wine & Spirits Magazine

90 Pts Wine Advocate "The 2005 Primitivo from Botromagno reveals a plump, super-ripe personality loaded with smoke, dark cherries, earthiness, and leather. It offers notable complexity at this level. This wine will find its greatest admirers among readers who enjoy a full-bodied, very ripe style of wine. Primitivo is believed to be a relative of Zinfandel. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2009."

90 Pts Robert Parker Domaine Fondreche Cuvee Persia 2006 "The outstanding 2006 Cotes du Ventoux Persia (90% Syrah and 10% Mourvedre) is nearly as brilliant as the 2007. Sweet blackberry fruit notes intermixed with notions of charcoal, scorched earth, spice, and spring flowers are found in this deep ruby/purple-tinged 2006. It is a delicious, medium to full-bodied offering to enjoy over the next 5-6 years."
