Cortese Barbaresco Rabaja 2001

"The cask-aged 2001 Barbaresco Rabaja is very spiced on the nose, with a balsamic character that gradually reveals itself as the wine sits in the glass. Though somewhat shut down today, it displays plenty of dark fruit and outstanding structure, with a gorgeous note of menthol on the fresh finish. It will require at least a few years of bottle aging prior to offering its best drinking. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2016." - Antonio Galloni - Robert Parker`s The Wine Advocate.

"Aroma of tar and roses; dark fruit on the palate, with a long, drying finish; already poised, should improve with age. Drink 2006-20" - Decanter - 4 Stars

Chateau Bellevue 2002
So many 2nd & 3rd tier flavors (Asian spice; pencil shavings for days, olives; funkiness; black & red fruits); this is thought provoking wine. JD says, "incredible class & complexity; a little leaner and has wonderful bright fruit complexity that some of the '03's aren't going to have"; WS-87; GV-90+

Landmark Overlook Chardonnay 2006
"One of California's finest as well as realistically priced Chardonnays is Landmark's Overlook. The 2006 (77% from Sonoma, 14% from Santa Barbara, and 9% from Monterey) exhibits classic tropical fruit, orange blossom, and citrus oil aromas along with a subtle whiff of oak in its fragrant, pure bouquet. Excellent acidity, a medium to full-bodied mouthfeel, and a stunningly long finish result in a beautiful Chardonnay to enjoy over the next several years."

Panarroz Jumilla Red 2006
"An amazing bargain from Spain, this blend of mourvedre, grenache, and syrah bursts with plum, blackberry, and licorice-infused fruit. There is a bit of pepper as well, and the wine is silky, soft, and opulent. Serve it at a barbecue." -Please note, this is from Robert Parker's article in Business Week.

Casa Marin Sauvignon Blanc Cipress 2007
"From a granitic slope facing the Pacific Ocean, in the small town of Lo Abarca, this vintage of Cipreses is all about the place-its sharp and severe minerality coming from the soil, its salinity from the sea breezes. Large in scale, ample in flavor and generous in acidity, this is the best Chilean sauvignon of the vintage."

"Green-gold color. Impressively aromatic nose features fresh pear, honeysuckle and mineral scents. Brisk, sharply focused orchard fruit flavors pick up sweeter melon and peach notes on the long, sappy finish. I like this wine's delicate touch."

Eppalock Ridge Shiraz 2002
"Eppalock Ridge`s dense ruby/purple-colored 2002 Shiraz exhibits terrific intensity as well as a big, fragrant nose of ground pepper, forest floor, blackberry liqueur, and sweet licorice as well as figs. This full-bodied, layered, voluptuously textured, sexy red should be drunk over the next 5-7 years."
