2007 Breggo Pinot Noir Ferrington Vineyard
On Sale $45.99
"Deep red. Energetic, highly perfumed aromas of red and dark berries, blood orange and incense. Nervy raspberry and cherry flavors are complemented by deeper notes of cola and clove, with silky tannins adding support. Impressively pure and focused pinot with excellent finishing lift and mineral cut. This wine will age on its balance."
-Rated 93/100 Steve Tanzer, The International Wine Cellar
2006 Domaine Serene Pinot Noir Evenstead Reserve
On Sale $49.99
"Medium ruby-colored, it offers notes of cedar, cinnamon, clove, cassis, and raspberry. This is follow
ed by a medium- to full-bodied wine with layers of complex red fruits, enough structure to evolve for 3-4 years, excellent integration of oak, tannin, and acidity, and a lengthy finish. Drink it from 2010 to 2018."

2006 Orin Swift "Papillon"
On Sale $4
9.99
"We just sampled this exciting new release, even more luscious than the last vintage, and proclaim it to be a true thriller for tonight or anytime over the next 5 years. Rich and savory, this Cabernet blend (65% CS, 27% Merlot, 2% Cab Franc, 4% Petite Verdot, and 2% Malbec) glides lightly across your palate and features soft layers of dark cherry, ripe sweet plums, anise, toffee, cocoa, rich smoky oak and a hint of milk chocolate truffles on the luscious finish. While this BIG wine is delicious tonight (after 1/2 hour decanting) we estimate it will peak in 2012 - 2014."
-Rated 94+/100 The Wine Insiders
