Calera Central Coast Pinot Noir 2007

The 2007 Central Coast Pinot Noir draws us in with aromas of black cherry, mineral and briar bramble. Flavors of blackberry, licorice (hints of both red & black), cherry cream, wild herbs and citronella dance on the palate. The texture is smooth, rich and savory, with a nice, firm tannin ... more

Domaine Jean Grivot Vosne Romanée 2006

A typical blend of many plots in Vosne Romanée. It becomes more perfumed and velvety after 4 or 5 years in bottle and is also worth keeping for a few years in lesser vintages. more

Domaine Robert Arnoux Romanee St. Vivant 2005

Closed, firm, direct, with a long finish that sings; a great wine, one of the best of the Cote de Nuits; near-perfect balance with an elegance and finesse that is almost unrivaled; aromatic and silky with great flair. more

Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay Champans 2004

Marquis d'Angerville wines are made in a delicate, rather understated style. The minimalist philosophy here deliberately emphasizes low yields and avoids manipulation of finished wines. more

Domaine Robert Arnoux Nuits St Georges les Corvées Pagets 2005

From more sandy soil that produces a more subtle and supple wine than the preceding with more breed; it is less stern in the finish but carries lots of weight.  more

Calera Jensen Vineyard Mt. Harlan Pinot Noir 2006

The 2006 Jensen Pinot Noir has gorgeous ruby color and a perfumed bouquet of dark plum, briar spice, cranberry and tiny pinches of both anise and orange zest. A restrained slate minerality and subtle smokiness pull us into a palate of mouthwatering black cherry and dark spice. This wine is ... more

Domaine Marquis d'Angerville Volnay Taillepieds 2006

Marquis d'Angerville wines are made in a delicate, rather understated style. The minimalist philosophy here deliberately emphasizes low yields and avoids manipulation of finished wines. more

Domaine Jean Grivot Nuits St. Georges Les Charmois 2006

A superb plot that would be a premier cru if it did not face north-east. It ripens a little later. This is a very good village wine. It is very fine, long on the palate and may be aged for a decade or more. more

Seresin Leah Pinot Noir 2007

The nose exhibits aromas of dark cherry, mocha, new leather and subtle toast with hints of spice. The palate is concentrated with succulent dark fruits layered over smoky oak, with fine mouth-coating tannins and a persistent finish. more

Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle Musigny Les Beaux Bruns 2003

A generous wine with a fresh, thick palate. more

Domaine Ghislaine Barthod Chambolle Musigny Les Cras 2004

The soil of Chambolle is more spare than that of neighboring Morey and Gevrey. Limestone gravel covers the surface and the layer of topsoil is very thin. As a result, the wines of Chambolle are noted for their finesse and delicacy. more

Lignier-Michelot Morey Saint Denis Les Façonnières 2004

All three Morey premier crus are classic examples, with a fleshy personality, lovely depth of black fruit, complex expressions of soil, and the ability to both delight the palate early and age well for ten to fifteen years. Of the three, the Façonnières is probably the most age-worthy and in ... more
