Paradigm Zinfandel Napa Valley 2007 – 95+ Points.

The 2007 Zinfandel has aromas of vanilla, coconut, and exotic spices. On the palate it is velvety smooth with juicy blueberry flavors. This is a deeply complex Zinfandel with bold flavors and seriously impressive tannins reminiscent of a fine Cabernet. Enjoy tonight or anytime over the next 3 – 5 years!

Stanton Cabernet Sauvignon Oakville 2006 – 95+ Points

This deliciously dense and weighty new release is so smooth it glides lightly across your palate and features soft layers of dark cherry, ripe figs, toffee, cocoa, rich smoky oak and a hint of sweet tobacco on the luscious finish. Rich and savory, this wine will delight for the next 5 years. Decant one hour if sampling prior to 2012.

Marston Cabernet Sauvignon Spring Mountain Napa 2006 – 95 Points

Decadent layers of espresso beans, mocha, bold tannins and a savory hint of black olive tapenade on the sultry finish. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Decant one hour if popping the cork pre-2012 because this BIG boy will easily last until 2019, peaking around 2017 in our estimate. Enjoy this rare opportunity to a own few of these precious hand crafted bottles because less than 300 cases produced.

Le Mesnil Grand Cru Champagne – 95 points

Le Mesnil Grand Cru

Le Mesnil achieves a striking balance of deliciously finessed fruit flavor and the most captivating “tiny bubbles” we’ve found in a Champagne under $100. An inner core of perfumed fruit including apples and pears plus toasted brioche and a hint of toffee on the sublime finish. This bubbly displays an extraordinary elegance that can be enjoyed anytime between now and the next decade, peaking around 2012 in our estimate. Don’t miss this relative bargain thriller! 95 points.

Altamura Sauvignon Blanc 2007 – 95 Points

Altamura Sauvignon Blanc

Possesses more texture and depth than most Napa Sauvignons {not to mention most Chardonnays!}. It offers loads of nectarines, exotic melons, honeysuckle, grapefruit, and orange blossoms all gracefully enveloped in a full-throttle, delectable, textured, sexy personality. 95 Points
