Foxglove Chardonnay 2007
$159. per case (25 cases available)
"Perhaps the greatest value in Chardonnay in the marketplace today, this wine, made by the highly talented Varner Winery in the Santa Cruz Mountains, comes from fruit accessed in California’s Edna Valley. With malolactic blocked but with lees stirring, this 25,000-case cuvee provides terrific notes of tropical fruit and poached pear in a fleshy, medium-bodied style with obvious minerality and precision. This is a remarkable effort that is fresh, lively, and best drunk over the next 1-2 years." 90 points Robert Parker
F. Coudert Fleurie Clos de la Roilette 2006
$235. per six case (10 cases available)
"Fernand and Alain Coudert’s Clos de la Roilette is the source for some of the most profound and ageworthy wines of Beaujolais (not that they neglect to be refreshing and fun to drink young). Their “Cuvee Tardive” (which transcends the price ceiling for this report) is meant – as the name implies – for keeping your hands off for a few years, but even their regular bottling of 2006 Fleurie will be worth following over the next two or three at least. Notes of leather, wood smoke, and forest floor mingling with the ripe cherry and raspberry in the nose signal that something more complex and mysterious is under foot than you will experience in all but a tiny fraction of Gamay-based wine. Generous juiciness on the palate is allied to a slightly grainy, palpable sense of extract and fine-grained tannin, while notes of toasted nut, raw beef, moss, and wet stones well up and add complexity to the wine’s long finish." 91 points Robert Parker
