Wine Spectator Top 100: #6 Wine of the Year
"Intense aromas of currant, blackberry and light vanilla. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, caressing finish. Layered, with everything in the right proportion for the vintage. Excellent. Reminds me of the 1996. Best after 2012. 20,000 cases made."

"Last December, I mistakenly indicated the 2003s had been bottled, but in fact they were not bottled until April, 2006. A blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Merlot, the 2003 Perry's Blend reveals a chocolaty, fleshy bouquet with hints of espresso and black fruits, soft acidity, rich, medium to full-bodied flavors, and a corpulent, heady finish. While not quite as stunning as the 2002, it is a beautiful red to consume during its first 10-12 years of life. As I have written before, Carolyn and Perry Butler have quickly made Juslyn one of the finest sources of top quality wine on Spring Mountain. They planted their estate vineyard in 1997 and have been sourcing high quality grapes from several of Andy Beckstoffer's top Napa Valley vineyards."

"You can tell this is going to be something special as soon as you pour it. Its beautiful dark color and inky texture is immediately apparent. On the palate this classic Priorat brings waves of dark fruit, smoke, and graphite. I hate the fact that this wine is in the 40's because I understand that 40-50 dollars is a whole lot of money for a bottle of wine but this insane effort is actually one of the best value wines I have had in ages. The loaded fruit and the complex finish rival some of the top $100+ wines from this region and the elegance and flawless freshness of this wine will go down in history. I can go on and on about this effort and the wine's uncanny freshness and depth of flavors and wild spices that dance on your palate but I will wrap up with the fact that it is one of the only wines (maybe 5 total) in the last 3 years that I am taking home 2 cases of. This my friends is a 96 point effort." 35 % grenache, 30 % carignan, 15 % syrah, 15 % cabernet sauvignon, 5 % merlot.

"Rich but nervy at the same time, with a wide range of chamomile, orange blossom, white peach, green almond, salted butter and mineral notes. Really fleshes out with air, but keeps its bracing edge all the way through as well. A kitchen sink blend of Chenin Blanc, Viognier, Grenache Blanc and Chardonnay. Drink now through 2010."

"The spicy 2003 The Coppermine Road Cabernet Sauvignon (aged in equal parts new French and new American oak) reveals copious quantities of black currants, cedar, vanilla, and white chocolate aromas, followed by spicy, tannic, full-bodied, powerful, dense, well-structured flavors. It should drink well for 10-15+ years."

This wine was harvested from 5 different vineyards inside Puligny Montrachet . Aromas of fresh almond, fresh leaves of mint, hazelnut, and butter. On the palate, the wine exhibits a beautiful essence of minerality and great balance of acidity. Think 2002 with a hint of additional richness. 450 cases produced. 130 cs imported

"Has a gorgeous perfume, showing warm cherry confiture, sandalwood and spice notes that are thoroughly beguiling, leading to silky layers of cherry and currant fruit and roasted vanilla, iron and floral notes that ride through on the palate. There's also impressive grip, though it's very subtle. Best from 2008 through 2018. 3,080 cases made. - JM"

"Made in a very forward style, the 2004 Clos l'Eglise offers sweet mocha-infused black raspberry and chocolate cherry-like fruit in its intense aromatics. In the mouth, it is pure silk, medium-bodied, and beautifully concentrated with no hard edges. Filled with sensual fruit, glycerin, and body, this is a delicious, food and consumer-friendly, complex Pomerol that should drink beautifully for 12-14 years."

"Shows intense blackberry, with other dark fruits and just a hint of coffee. Full-bodied, with lovely fruit, chewy tannins and a long, fruity, caressing finish. Best after 2010. 1,575 cases made." -91 Points - Wine Spectator
