"The 2006 Papa Luna is a blend of 70% old-vine Garnacha, 25% Syrah, and 5% Monastrell and Mazuelo aged for 5 months in French and American oak. Dark ruby/purple-colored, it offers up an attractive nose of cedar, spice, vanilla, earth, cherry, and blueberry. This le (more...)

"The impeccably pure, rich, complex, full-bodied 2006 La Reserve is a deeper, fuller effort revealing an opaque purple color, superb concentration, a multidimensional, textured mouthfeel, and an impressive finish. Black fruits, graphite, and a hint of toasty oak do (more...)

"The 2005 Altitude is a spectacular and ripe wine that boasts a ripe red fruit elegance and a nice, rounded finish. What most excites me about this wine is that the body is medium to full and not only does it work well with many big meals, but this is the kind of w (more...)

"We just looked at each other and we knew! Ian Dorin and I were in Bordeaux earlier this year and stumbled on a wine that rocked our socks, came from one of the great vintages of all time, had some age to it so it drank like silk and was under $20! We knew we just (more...)

"This may be the ultimate French collaboration. Possibly the best winemaker in Bordeaux (Stephan Derenoncourt) pairing with the owner of possibly the best restaurant in France (L'Ami Louis). This newly revamped winery is turning out excellent wine in only it's firs (more...)

"A terrific offering is his 2005 Cotes du Rhone Bouquet. Much of this comes from old vine Grenache from the village of Rasteau. It shows a nice roasted herb, scorched earth, and chocolatey character, impressive ripeness, medium to full body, and a long finish. It s (more...)

"Still the leading variety in the white wine stakes, this Roo Estates Chardonnay offers a versatile, freshing, all-occasion drink. Melon and tropical fruit character in abundance, with just a hint of oak." -Winery

"With concentration and polish, this plush red delivers ripe, fresh fruit flavors of black cherry and boysenberry, with notes of toast, coffee, mineral and anise. The tannins are big but well-integrated. A modern style. Drink now through 2015. 4,000 cases made. - (more...)

"Still a work in progress is the Armenier family's newest purchase in Lirac, the 2006 Domaine La Lorentine. This cuvee still reveals some hard tannins (because of the Carignan), but the fruit is coming on, and the 2006 exhibits a deeper, richer, more savory charact (more...)

"The Grenache in this cuvee conjures up the deep, dark fruit aromas of areas such as Rasteau and the Cotes du Ventoux while the spicy Syrah adds another layer of complexity to this mouth-filling red. The name of the cuvee comes from a centuries-old farmhouse situat (more...)

"The vineyard sources for this Bordeaux-style blend - Champoux, Ciel du Cheval, Weinbau and Dineen - are impeccable, and represent four of the best AVAs in Washington. It`s almost exactly half and half Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, and smells like beautifu (more...)

"Winemaking consultant Riccardo Cotarella has changed this once burly, almost uncivilized wine to a more sophisticated, pure, polished, generously endowed offering. Monti's dense purple-colored 2005 Montepulciano d'Abruzzo (includes 5% Sangiovese in the blend) was (more...)

"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 200 (more...)

"Even better is the 2006 Zinfandel La Promessa, which offers loads of peppery, black cherry, and kirsch fruit, a dense, full-bodied mouthfeel, and a heady finish. This Zinfandel is best drunk in the first 3-4 years of life."

"Ripe yet deftly balanced, with (more...)

"Racy, with citrus, green apple and peach flavors that are very fresh and focused. The finish is filled with lemon zest and mineral. Best from 2009 through 2015. - KM"
