2004 Pontet Canet (Bordeaux) 93 points Wine Spectator
* Ranked #34 on The Wine Spectator's "Top 100 Wines" of 2007 * Highly Recommended * Shows beautiful aromas of crushed berries and currants, with hints of mineral. Full-bodied, with lovely currant, licorice and mint. Long and caressing. Very refined and balanced red. Another winner from Pontet-Canet. Best after 2011. (3/ 2007)
2005 Renato Ratti Barolo Marcenesco
Ranked #7 on The Wine Spectator's "Top 100 Wines of 2009". " This fabulous Nebbiolo displays aromas of very ripe strawberry and cappuccino. Full-bodied, with supervelvety tannins and incredible concentration. All the tannins are coated with gorgeous fruit. Best after 2013."
96 Points Wine Spectator
2006 Anderson's Conn Valley Estate Cabernet
"The unfined, unfiltered 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve spends two years in French oak and another year in the bottle before being released. This cuvee has a long track record of aging (the 1990 and 1991 are still going strong). The dense ruby/purple-tinged 2006 offers notes of new saddle leather, black currants, autumnal vegetation/forest floor, cassis, and cherries, superb richness, and a full-bodied, powerful finish. Cellar it for 5-6 years, and drink it over the following 25 years. "
