Bruno Giacosa
1995 Barolo
Deep, saturated ruby-red. Explosive nose offers the full range of Barolo perfume: black cherry, black raspberry, rose petal, marzipan, licorice, menthol, leather, minerals. A wine of monumental scale but utterly suave and clear as a bell thanks to bracing balancing acids and superb tannic backbone. Great depth and vinosity; really expands in the glass and on the palate. The fruit explodes on the endless, ripely tannic finish. The full Barolo experience in 3-D and technicolor.

Carmenet Vineyards

Dark like squid’s ink, it actually appears to be purple. An extremely tart little young wine. Good potential in the fruit.
$54.99

Casisano-Colombaio
Brunello di Montalcino
The estate is situated south of Montalcino, with vineyards receiving a southeasterly exposure, and the prevailing viticultural ideology reflects a traditional orientation, directly evidenced by Casisano’s use of Slavonian oak and fairly long maceration periods (averaging 25 days); organic principles have been employed in viticultural efforts since 1996.

Colombaiolo is the reknowned cru of the Ciarpella family’s estate with a yield of only 4 tons per hectare. The Brunello Riserva is crafted in exceptional years.

Sangiovese (grosso) grapes. Notes of blueberry, chocolate, tobacco leaf and campfire smoke, followed by plenty of fruit and a mature, silky, lingering finish. Only 400 cases made. Still very tight and structured.

A nose of sweet cherry liqueur here, aromatic and pure. A fresh and creamy extract on the palate, firm, with chewy tannins and moderate acidity. It seems well delineated with freshness but perhaps not the vigour. At least it has good fruit. If this comes together in bottle it may be worthwhile. It does seem to have moved away from the heavily extracted style of the 2007, which is good.

Chateau Montelena
2004 Estate Cabernet
750 ml
The wine has a nice dark, garnet Cabernet color. In the glass, the nose is primarily rich aromas of black cherry currant and menthol. It is very much fruit-dominated, and for the first few years its jammy Cabernet-berry and menthol characteristics will predominate - after which the soil’s contribution and winemaking, with the hints of new wood will begin to emerge. On entry it delivers a broad mouthful of fruit with cherry and cassis, plus relatively pronounced Cabernet tannins typical, at this young stage, of a fast-ripening crop. Vintages like 2004 do tend to concentrate the juice so every flavor element comes across stronger.
$119.99

Chateau Talbot
2003 Saint Julien

Dark, macerated, blackberry fruit, with a buttery edge from the residual fruit. Sweet, with immediate impact on entry. Grippy, structured, but packed with loads of blackberry fruit. Nice texture and substance here.

Clos du Val
Stag’s Leap Cabernet
750 ml
Clos Du Val’s flagship estate wine, the Stags Leap District Cabernet Sauvignon is deep purple-black in color and greets the nose with vibrant aromas of ripe black fruit balanced by a hint of dried herbs and toasty oak. The wine has a rich, powerful entry, filling the mouth with intense black fruit and spice. With its velvety-smooth tannins, this Cabernet illustrates Stags Leap District terroir. The long, lingering finish is characteristic of Clos Du Val’s winemaking style.

Outstanding with grilled lamb, mushrooms and sweet red peppers.

Opaque ruby. Explosively perfumed nose offers a sexy bouquet of red and dark berries, Asian spices, candied licorice, black cardamom and yellow rose. Mouthfilling red fruit flavors are wrapped in supple tannins, with vibrant minerality adding lift. Impressively fresh and focused for such flavor impact, finishing with superb mouthcoating persistence. Primal but delicious already.

Craggy Range
Sophia
Dark and dense, with flashes of purple. The nose is initially compact and savoury, with a good dose of iron filings and minerality and not much else. With time and some energetic swirling, a range of other notes emerge to add complexity. There’s a sense of purple flowers, dark berry fruit, perhaps a slight saltiness too. The nature of the wine’s oak gains some clarity too, and it’s quite present, though totally integrated. A hint of volatility rounds things out. The palate is very much in line with the nose in that it’s both dense and reserved. Flow over the tongue is very tightly controlled, and from entry to mid-palate a slither of iron, complex berry fruit and sappy oak slides confidently along. It’s medium to full bodied and certainly substantial, yet measured and never clumsy. The after palate is marginally more relaxed and slightly sweeter in profile. Flavour is most complex at this point, and the wine’s lift helps each strand of flavour to fully define itself as it lands on the rear of the tongue. Just as it reaches its peak, it starts to fall away to a very long, satisfying finish. Tannins are remarkably fine and approachable, though their abundance suggests the capacity to age well.

1998 Trilogy
750 ml
The philosophy of blending is basic to the concept of Trilogy. We approach this wine like an artist with a palette of colors. The result is a complex masterpiece of flavors and aromas that have great persistence on the palate and are tempered with a sense of elegance and finesse. A preliminary Trilogy blend was made after malo-lactic fermentation had concluded. The wine rested quietly in small (50% new) French oak barrels until just prior to bottling. 1998 was a vintage that required stringent winery practices so that we could extract as much as we could from the fruit.

Review by Robert Parker
Wine Advocate # 162 (Dec 2005)
Rating: 93
The 2003 Jericho Canyon, from a 40-acre parcel of vines at the base of Mount St. Helena, is a blend of 87% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and 3% Cabernet Franc. This is David Ramey’s homage to Pauillac. With a big sweet nose of white chocolate, creme de cassis, cedar, spice box, and high-quality smoky oak, it is full-bodied, rich, and tannic with notes of chocolate and espresso in the mouth. This wine also needs several years of cellaring and should last 15-20 years. David Ramey also has a successful consulting business. His list of clients includes the likes of Benziger, Saracina, Dierburg, Niebaum-Coppola, Lancaster, Audellsa, Landmark, Snowden, Rodney Strong, and Manoogian.

Ridge Vineyards
1999 Monte Bello
750 ml
A blend of bordeaux varietals. Cabernet sauvignon still predominates; exhaustive tasting of test blends during assemblage determines how much—if any—merlot, petit verdot, or cabernet franc will be included in the finished wine. Almost every vintage (an unbroken chain from ‘62 on) has something substantive to recommend it. Every decade has its high points. Taste and opinions differ. But the just-concluded decade of the nineties has been outstanding. Generalization does a disservice to the individual wines. There’s structure, there’s complexity, there’s balance. And they develop for a long, long time.

Ripe, opulent fruit from the moment the wine is poured. Held to the light, this elegant wine shimmers with a stunning deep purple-scarlet color that announces the intensity of the grapes. The aromas are at once concentrated and complex with intriguing hints of black cherry, plum, dark chocolate, licorice and an array of spices. The palate is equal to the lush color and bold aromas—at once rich, full and round from the initial taste and continuing as it fills the mouth—leading to a long, lingering finish. Delicious flavors of black cherry, plum and chocolate reinforce the aromas. Eponymous 2001 has tremendous presence and yet is in wonderful harmony with soft, accessible tannins adding appropriate structure to this alluring wine.

Silver Oak
1997 Alexander Valley Cabernet
750 ml
An elegant, highly expressive wine that displays great complexity due to the multifaceted climatic conditions of the harvest season. The wine is dark ruby with a purple to red edge. It displays bright aromas of black cherry, dark chocolate, black tea, allspice and ginger. In the mouth, it has a full-bodied attack, a round, balanced mid-palate redolent of cherry preserves, brown sugar and caramel and an extremely long finish of savory ripe fruit. Properly cellared, it should give drinking pleasure until 2026.

Terrazas Cheval des Andes
Vistalba Mendoza
750 ml
60% Malbec, 26% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Merlot, and 7% Petit Verdot. Purple-colored, it exhibits a complex bouquet of wood smoke, scorched earth, violets, black cherry, and blackberry liqueur. On the palate it is remarkably elegant with a velvety texture, superb depth, savory flavors, ripe tannin, and 5-7 years of aging potential. Its drinking window will begin in 2014 and last through 2030 at the least Tasting Notes - Supple yet dense, this is full of focused black currant, plum and raspberry fruit, along with taut vanilla, anise, mineral and hot stone notes. Tight finish is held in check by the tannins, but they’re finely grained and should evolve nicely with cellaring.
