Trinitas Pinot Noir Carneros 2008 – 93 Points

Aromatics of candied red fruit, vanilla, mocha, and campfire. It boasts flavors of baked red apples covered in butter and cinnamon with a rich entry and broad mid palate. The weight of the fore- and mid-palate over shadow the delicate dark chocolate finish which will lengthen with age.

Sans Permis Chardonnay Durell Vineyard 2005 – 93 Points

A wonderful yellow-gold color and a nutty, toasty nose greet you. In the mouth, Meyer lemon, crisp green apple, with butter notes and good acidity with a surprisingly rich creamy mouthfeel make this a fantastic wine to pair with a wide variety of foods.

Chateau Sergant Lalande de Pomerol 2005 – 93 Points

Deep in color and heady with the scents of cedar, crushed blackberry, and chocolate. Opulent and medium bodied, this wine exhibits a complex cache of flavors, including fresh berries, hints of violet. Medium-to-full body, with velvety tannins and a clean, fruity aftertaste. Fine, supple, and supremely elegant.

Zepaltas Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2008 – 93 Points

Immediately, this wine’s aromatics jump out of the glass: black cherry, tobacco, and allspice. The Russian River’s palate is structured and taught, but refreshing and bright. A slight grip of tannin gives the wine presence and fills out the finish. The mouth feel is powerful, and dense, and is a great candidate for those roasted fall dishes. This wine definitely has the framework to age at least 3 years, but is very accessible now.

Sans Leige Grenache 2006 – 93 Points.

Rich and concentrated, with a wealth of flavor, stretching out from espresso, juicy blueberry, currant, dark chocolate and spice with hints of vanilla and dusty berry, ending with a long, plushy finish. So easy to drink you’ll be glad you bought more than just one bottle! 93 Points The Wine Insiders
