Shafer Relentless 2003
|
  |
BN#182865 |
|
In this fifth vintage, the Syrah is really developing, bringing classic earthy, meaty varietal character along with aromas and flavors of blackberry, spice, chocolate, liqueur, black licorice and cedar. This release is viscous, well-integrated, dense and massive. The fruit-weight carries the big tannins and offers a long finish. more

|
Vibrant Purple colour. The fragrant nose shows blackcurrant, Notes cassis and mulberries aromas with a touch of cedar and spice. This opulent, rich and powerful Cabernet displays lush red and black berry fruits complexed by chocolate, mocha and forest floor characters. This mid-palate shows immense power and concentration which are ... more

Carol Shelton Wild Thing Cox Vineyard Old Vines Zinfandel 2004
|
 |
BN#185296 |
|
We released this wine in April 2006, after it had about 8 months of bottle age. It is delicious in the short term, with a round creaminess in the mouthfeel and bright red berry fruit, but it will improve for at least 5 years from its release date. Try it ... more

Giacomo Borgogno Barolo Classico Riserva 1997
|
 |
BN#187035 |
|
A benchmark vintage. While fantastic enough to drink now, this wine will only get better if you hold on to it. A long two weeks, from September 24 to October 10, with extremely high temperatures. The yield was below average, but the grapes were very ripe and healthy. Extremely high ... more

Warwick Estate Three Cape Ladies 2003
|
  |
BN#195606 |
|
Each component of this Cape blend offers its own qualities. This wine shows an explosion of fruit on the nose, which is largely attributable to the Pinotage component. The Pinotage is soft and sweet while the Merlot offers a subtle spiciness. The Cabernet Sauvignon is the backbone of the blend. ... more

W&J Graham's Vintage Port 2003
|
  |
BN#165079 |
|
This is an extremely fine wine made in the very best of the Graham tradition. Great depth of structure, endless layers of very ripe blackberry fruit. A classic Graham in the style of its famous predecessors. Deep opaque, blackish purple color. Aromas of violets just fly out of the glass. ... more

Nino Franco Prosecco di Valdobbiadere Rustico
|
|
BN#180677 |
|
"Rustico" is just off-dry and opens with a firm bubble and crisp acidity. Light aromas of banana on the nose lead to fresh pear on the palate. It finishes clean and works well as an aperitif or matches with lighter hors-d’ouevres, salads, and light seafoods. Also great for brunches mixed ... more

Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon 2005
|
 |
BN#217026 |
|
The dark ruby-colored 2005 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon resembles a classic Bordeaux both in aromatics and flavor. A rich bouquet of cinnamon, spice, licorice, graphite and caramel are followed by integrated layers of cherry, currant, fresh cream and balanced, sweet tannin, all of which contribute to a youthful, bright, multi-layered ... more

Clicquot's signature brut non-vintage is loved the world over for its crisp, full flavors, consistent quality and celebratory yellow label. This classically-styled, dry Champagne is a blend of two-thirds black grapes (Pinot Noir and Pinot Meunier) for body, balanced with one-third Chardonnay for elegance. It has a fine persistent sparkle ... more
