  • Rudd Oakville Estate Red

    Rudd Oakville Estate Red

    Country: United States
    State: California
    Region: Napa Valley
    Wow, what a fantastic wine. Bursts open with scads of fine French oak, cedar and char, with a rôti quality riding high over the cherries, cassis and white chocolate. So good, it’s scary. Rich, long, powerful in cassis and cherry fruit, yet wonderfully firm and tannic, this wine is fabulous now.

    World’s End Syrah / Cabernet Franc “Wavelength”

    Country: United States
    State: California
    Region: Napa Valley
    The wine hits the mouth with medium to full body, glorious fruit, sensational purity, wonderful texture and length, and a finish that lasts 40-45 seconds. Usually blending Cabernet Franc and Syrah together would not be a high priority on most winemaker’s agenda, but Maltus marches to the beat of a different drummer and clearly has something special on his hands. This is a brilliant Syrah that should evolve for at least a decade.

    Zaha Cabernet Franc

    Country: Argentina

    It has a subtle, serious, slightly backward nose, with fresh herbals notes intermixed with notes of ripe fruit and a special quality of tannins, which are both grainy and fine, with very supple flavors and good acidity. This is a great Cabernet Franc.

  • Schug Merlot

    Schug Merlot

    Country: United States
    State: California
    Region: Sonoma Valley
    This classically structured Merlot is crafted in the Bordeaux style that Walter Schug pioneered in California while wine master of Joseph Phelps Vineyards (1973 to 1983). The Merlot grapes were grown on the Sangiacomo Vineyard in the Carneros district of southern Sonoma Valley. This cooler microclimate provides the longer growing season necessary for Merlot to ripen slowly and develop maximum flavor. Added complexity comes from a blending judicious amounts of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc grown on the Rancho Salina and Horne vineyards farther north in Sonoma Valley. It has a spicy bouquet, deep color and exhibits full-bodied flavors of cherry, blackberry and spice. Try it now with grilled fish, pasta, lamb and steaks, or cellar it for 5 to 7 years.

  • Schug Cabernet Sauvignon Heritage Reserve

    Schug Cabernet Sauvignon Heritage Reserve

    Country: United States
    State: California
    Region: Sonoma Valley
    From 1973 to 1982, Walter Schug made some of the most memorable Cabernet Sauvignons and Bordeaux-style blends in California history as the founding winemaker for Joseph Phelps Vineyards. His own Bordeaux blend exhibits the same finesse, intensity and ability to age that have made his earlier wines valuable collectors items. Cabernet Sauvignon from the valley floor and Carneros Merlot compliment the well structured fruit from Rancho Salina, a volcanic soil vineyard high above the Sonoma Valley in the southern end of the Mayacamas Mountains. It has dense color and structure, bright aromas of violets and blueberries, and ripe fruit flavors reminiscent of cherries, chocolate and cassis. Well-integrated tannins, oak and acidity give it a rich texture and a long, elegant finish. It drinks well on release paired with rich meats and cheeses, and will reward cellaring for 10 or more years.

    Tamarack Cellars Firehouse Red

    Country: United States
    State: Washington
    Region: Columbia Valley
    Deceptively sweet aromas of strawberries, raspberries and rose petals. The flavors are dark, rich, lusciously mouthwatering, with cherries, boysenberries, tart plum skins, hints of leather, sweet pipe tobacco, and coffee beans. The tannins are firm, but not a bit edgy and the finish lingers with just a touch of anise. A truly lovely vintage.
