2007 Paul Hobbs Pinot Noir Russian River

On Sale $39.99

"...an outstanding example of Hobbs' meticulous vineyard sourcing and winemaking. With copious sweet forest floor, plum, black cherry, and earthy notes, a luscious, medium to full-bodied texture, and a long finish, it can be enjoyed over the next 7-8 years."
-Rated 91-93/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

2005 Mount Eden Cabernet Sauvignon Estate

On Sale $49.99

"Mount Eden makes their estate Cab the old-fashioned way: to age. The '05 is quite tannic and shut down right now, with a hard astringency, especially on the finish. However, it's rich in black currants, mocha and cedar, and is a natural for many years in the cellar. The score could rise considerably after 2011."
-Rated 93/100 The Wine Enthusiast

2006 Kistler Chardonnay Hudson Vineyard

On Sale $64.99

"An exotic effort, the 2006 Chardonnay Hudson Vineyard exhibits a light straw/green hue as well as boisterous, exuberant notes of buttery tropical fruit and smoky nuts. It is the most flamboyant and showy of these Chardonnays. Enjoy it over the next 4-6 years."
-Rated 93-95/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

2007 L'Aventure Cote a Cote

On Sale $74.99

"Another blockbuster and decadently rich, extravagant expression of winemaking is the 2007 Cote a Cote, a blend of 40% Grenache, 40% Mourvedre, and 20% Syrah. An incredible wine, it tips the scales at 15.9% alcohol but is loaded with melted licorice, black currant fruit, sweet, jammy cherries, forest floor, and a bit of pepper and fruitcake notes."
-Rated 95/100 Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate
