(California) Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010

Reg. $84.99  Now $67.99 save 20%

Wilfred Wong 90 Points Winemaker "The 2010 Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a vibrant, elegant expression of this classic appellation from a cooler vintage. It has a deep garnet color and an enticing nose of cassis liqueur, blueberry coulis, tobacco, tarragon and roasting coffee. The seamless palate starts with a berry-laden attack, follows with a full-bodied mid-palate, and ends with a long, savory finish with fine-grained, well-integrated tannins. Given proper cellaring, this wine should give drinking pleasure through 2031."

(France/Bordeaux) Chateau Guiraud Sauterne Grand Cru Classe 2009 375ml

Bottle $55.99     Now bottle $44.79 save 20%

Wine Spectator 96 Points #5 Top 100 Wine in the World!

"This is a bird of a different feather, with an exotic, vibrant aroma of toasted coconut, followed by an almond cream note that gives way to the core of green fig, papaya, Cavaillon melon and honey. There's stunning richness and mouthfeel, with the power to be one of the longer-lived wines of the vintage. Very impressive. Best from 2015 through 2040."

(France/Bordeaux) Chateau D'Yquem Sauterne Grand Cru Classe 2002 375ml

Reg Bottle $230     NOW $184 save 20%

Wine Spectator 96 Points "Beautiful apple, vanilla and honey aromas, with just the right amount of new wood. Full-bodied, medium sweet, with lots of pretty pineapple and honey. Long and refined. A beautifully silky and balanced Sauternes. Lots of intensity and well-knit. Unrivaled in this vintage. Best after 2009." Drink now to 2045.

Claude Thibaut and Manuel Janisson bring to this sparkling wine generations of tradition from the Champagne Region of France. They have captured the flavors and essence of the Virginia Terroir.

(Italy) Alessandria Barolo 2010

Bottle $44.99  Now $35.99 Save 20%

Robert Parker 94 Points  The 2010 Barolo is sourced from four or five vineyards, all from the Verduno area. Because the Barolo San Lorenzo was not produced in 2010, that fruit ended up being blended here. Vittore felt that it lacked aromatic depth to be a single vineyard expression. This has proven an excellent choice. This wine was selected by the Enoteca Regionale del Barolo to be the symbolic Barolo chosen to represent the entire 2010 vintage. In full disclosure, yours truly was named the "face" of the vintage and the Enoteca organized a wonderful presentation in June 2014 in which this wine was poured and I was invited to share my tasting notes on the vintage. There's an inherent elegance here that is impossible ignore. The wine is light and beautifully nuanced with a light, brilliant color. The bouquet is fine and focused with a beautiful sense of evolution and finesse. Drink: 2016-2028.

(Portugal) Fonseca Vintage Porto 2011 (Very Limited)

Reg Bottle $120   Now $96 save 20%

Wine Spectator 98 Points #13 Top 100 Wines in the World 2014 "Massive, concentrated and powerful, this offers lush, heady flavors of dark plum, blackberry and cherry tart, with touches of anise. Shows plenty of grip as well, with a long, rich finish of dark chocolate, toffee and cream. Best from 2040 through 2060. 2,190 cases imported. -KM"
