(California) Aquinas Napa Valley Unoaked Chardonnay 2011 (Limited)

This is a ridiculous deal on an unoaked stainless steel fermented Chardonnay that boasts an array of kiwi, lemon blossom and papaya notes with a uniquely earthy undertone. A ­flavorful medley of caramelized pear, banana peel, and star fruit follows, with a light hint of honey on the finish. This refreshing, medium bodied wine shows crisp, foodfriendly acidity. In an ironic twist of fate, this 100% Unoaked wine is crafted entirely from fruit sourced from the "Oak" Knoll sub appellation at the southern end of Napa Valley.

(Spain) Cims del Montsant 2010

 "a blend of 65% old vine Garnacha and 35% Carinena aged in French barriques for five months, comes from a different vineyard than the "Roure." It has a lifted, very pretty, quite floral bouquet of bright red fruit, strawberry pastille and blood orange that is sensual and feminine. The palate is medium-bodied with a firm backbone, good depth of fruit with mulberry and dark plum flavours towards the focused finish. Drink to 2018."

(Spain) Muriel Gran Reserva Rioja 2001 - Limited

"The 2001 Muriel Gran Reserva, also from a superb vintage, was aged in French and American oak for 30 months followed by 3 years in bottle prior to release. It offers up a splendid, subtly sexy perfume of Asian spices, leather, incense, a hint of balsamic, and cherry. Elegant and satin-textured, this impeccably balanced, lengthy effort will continue to drink well for another 10 years."

(California) The Blindfold White Blend 2012

"A distinctive combination of 35% Chardonnay, 20% Roussanne, 20% Viognier and small quantities of Riesling, Semillon, Marsanne and Grenache Blanc, the 2012 Blindfold is a sleeper of the vintage. Reminiscent of the Sine Qua Non whites from further south, it bursts with honeyed, caramelized white fruits, rose petals and pineapple. Medium to full-bodied with good acidity, brilliant purity and a delineation that is uncommon for a wine with so much flavor, this beauty should drink well for 2-3 years. "

Wow. Great nose of bright dark berries and currant, with Indian spices as well. Full-bodied, with round and chewy tannins, but polished and very pretty and enticing. Big juicy wine with balance. This small estate continues to make excellent wines in top vintages. Drink 2015 to 2025.

This is beautiful, delicious, limited production Cab from the Alexander Valley in the Mountain Vineyards.  "Just delicious, offering sweetly ripe blackberry, blueberry and cassis flavors, with a rich coating of smoky oak.

(Italy) Tenuta Sette Ponti Oreno 2011 Toscana (Limited)

"There is a purity of fruit in this young Tuscan red with flowers, citrus fruit and currants. Full body, with firm and silky tannins that are ultra-fine and wonderfully polished. The structure builds to a racy finish. This is a Bordeaux blend that is all in harmony. Give it time as the tannins and fruit melt together."  This is an incredible blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Best from 2015 through 2025.

Fonseca Vintage Port 2011 (Limited)

"The Fonseca 2011 is typically more forthcoming on the nose: a strident bouquet with lifted scents of freshly picked blackberries, kirsch, crushed stone and a dash of Hoi Sin and oyster sauce. It is very well-defined, very focused and direct. The palate is silky smooth with not a rough edge in sight, the keen thread of acidity and the structure that lends this mighty Port a wonderful backbone. A slight viscosity on the finish lacquers the tongue and indicates a core of sweet fruit is ticking away underneath that will surely explode several years after bottling. A tincture of salted licorice on the aftertaste is very attractive. This will turn out to become an outstanding Fonseca." Drink now to 2060.
