| Wine Review 2006 von Strasser Winery Cabernet Sauvignon Diamond Mountain District "Deep Dark purple blackness. Inviting aromas of blueberry and violets. Exquisitely layered, sweet kernels of cassis fruit, with a refined but solid cabernet core. Fine, supple tannins on the finish. Brilliant, soft and elegant, but with a burly core that can be aged for a decade. |

| Wine Review 2008 Fabre Montmayou Malbec Gran Reserva Mendoza "Dark purple almost black in color. Resounding and powerful aromas of prime fruits with hints of earth tones and new wood. A deeply concentrated core, overflowing with dark blue and purple fruits. This wine has a wonderful smooth texture and a delicate but firm finish. After two hours in a carafe the fruit core begins to mellow out, still smooth but more refined on the palate with a more complex finish. Pairs well with grilled food age for up to a decade in a cool cellar." |

| Wine Review 2004 Quinta de la Quietud Toro "Brilliant dark black purple tones. An elevated ruby fruit and cedar nose. Dark fruit flavors, explosive on the palate with a subtle plumpness and a burley old vine core. Brimming with prime fruits branching into complex rich layers. Let this wine breathe, and the burley core is toned and more refined with intricate deep layers of prodigal and intensely rich fruits. An incredibly balanced finish. This Spanish delight easily earns a Five star rating. |

| Tasting Notes 2006 Aurielle Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley "Here is a very solid, well-focused and nicely extracted wine that brings plenty of fruit to bear against the slightly firm back-end that is the hallmark of the vintage. Its ongoing themes of cassis, briar and loam are enriched with a good measure of sweet oak, and, while its acid-framed tannins provide the structural spine to guarantee five to ten years of improvement, it manages to show winemaking polish throughout." 91 points--Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wines |

| Tasting Notes 2007 Landmark Vineyards Chardonnay Damaris Reserve Sonoma County "($40) Green-gold. Powerful aromas of orchard fruits, orange, sweet butter, lily of the valley and smoky lees, plus a strong undercurrent of iodine; smells like a serious, old-school Chassagne-Montrachet. Round and fleshy, with deep, smoky pear, sweet citrus and licorice flavors and slow-building spiciness. The smoky and floral qualities resonate on the finish, which is impressively incisive and long." 93 points--Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar "Rich, unctuous and full-bodied, with tiers of ripe apricot, melon, fig and citrus flavors that are intense without being heavy, ending with a dash of smoky oak. Drink now through 2016. 2,000 cases made." 92 points--James Laube, Wine Spectator "The light gold-colored 2007 Chardonnay Damaris Reserve is sourced from Sangiacomo (89%) and Lorenzo (11%). It exhibits a beautifully scented nose of honeysuckle, caramelized orange rind, peaches, apricots, and subtle background oak. Full-bodied with outstanding purity and richness as well as a nicely layered texture, this is a lovely effort from proprietors Mike and Mary Calhoun. It should drink well for 3-4 years given its acid profile. Winemaker Eric Stern judiciously uses wood as a complementary seasoning, which is evident in all these Chardonnays." 91 points--Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate |

| Wine Reviews 2007 Baker Lane Vineyards Pinot Noir Ramondo Vineyard Sonoma Coast "Bright medium red. Spicy redcurrant and strawberry on the nose, with sexy floral and mineral qualities adding complexity. Musky cherry and red berry flavors are given spine by juicy acidity and fine-grained tannins, which add back-end grip. Stretches out with air, becoming broader and sweeter on the long, sappy finish." 91 points--Steve Tanzer's International Wine Cellar |

| Wine Review 2007 The Ojai Vineyard Chardonnay Clos Pepe Santa Rita Hills "Yellow-gold. Musky peach pit and mango aromas are complicated by zesty, smoky minerals. Tightly focused citrus and dried pit fruit flavors gain a gentle sweetness and put on weight with air, picking up a juicy mango quality. Firm finishing notes of bitter pear skin, tarragon and minerals give this wine a serious aspect. I'd hold off on opening this impressively concentrated wine for another couple of years." 93 points--Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar |

Brilliant aromas of rich currants and ripe black cherries. Hints of earthy cedar on the palate. A real primary fruit core that evolves in it's complexity.

| Tasting Notes 2007 The Ojai Vineyard Pinot Noir Clos Pepe Vineyard Santa Rita Hills "Deep, bright red. Vibrant aromas of red berries, cherry and blood orange, with complicating notes of flowers and minerals. Fleshy, succulent raspberry and cherry preserve flavors are enlivened by zesty minerality and given depth by a slow-building, sweet cola quality. Turns more tangy and powerful on the finish, which leaves fresh redcurrant and raspberry notes behind. I like this wine's blend of vivacity and power." 92 points--Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar |

| Tasting Notes 2009 Giovanni Almondo Roero Arneis Bricco delle Cigliege "A perfect gift for Saint Patrick's day! This special wine has a Pale green color. Lively and aromatic with hints of tropical flowers and fruits. Exceptional substance on the palate with superlative flavors equivalent of the lush passion fruit of a pricey viognier and the fresh green apple of a Pinot Blanc.

| Tasting Notes 2001 Juslyn Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyard Select Napa Valley "The 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Vineyard Select is superior from bottle than it was from cask. A wine of balance and impeccable purity, it represents a California version of a fictional blend of a top-notch Pauillac and St.-Julien. A deep ruby/purple color is accompanied by aromas of black currants, earth, tobacco leaf, licorice, and plums, a sweet attack, a pure mid-section, and a medium to full-bodied, persistent finish displaying faultless harmony. It will drink well for 15 years." 91 points--Robert Parker, Wine Advocate |

| Tasting Notes 2006 Ramey Wine Cellars Syrah Rodgers Creek Vineyard Sonoma Coast "Deep, bright ruby. Highly expressive bouquet of blackcurrant and boysenberry, with sexy floral and spice notes adding vivacity. Lively red and dark fruit flavors gain an exotic floral quality with air and become spicier on the back end. Impressively vibrant syrah, with excellent finishing clarity and sweet persistence. As with the barrel samples of '07 that I also tasted, this is more energetic than the Shanel." 94 points--Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar "The dense opaque purple-hued 2006 Syrah Rodgers Creek Vineyard offers aromas of melted chocolate, ground pepper, exotic peach and lychee nuts (5% Viognier is co-fermented), and an earthy, blackberry, smoky mid-palate as well as finish. Enjoy this superb Syrah over the next decade." 92 points--Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate |
