Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Napa Valley Artemis Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
 
Bottle $69.99   15% off mix 12 $59.49
 
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 94 Points ""Already bottled, the 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Artemis is similar to its siblings. It offers delicious blackcurrant fruit, not as much complexity as the Fay or S.L.V., but an attractive meaty, rich blackcurrant fruitiness, well-integrated wood, and hints of spice and oak. Fleshy and medium-bodied but also made in the elegant style sought by this winery, it should drink well for 10-15 years."
 
(California) Oakville Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
 
Bottle $94.99       15% off mix 12 $80.74
 
Robert Parker's Wine Advocate 95 Points"The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon is dark as a moonless night, with classic blackcurrant, blackberry fruit, moving to blueberries, licorice, creosote and incense. Complex, full-bodied and concentrated, the wine is youthful and has good tangy acidity and sweet tannin. This is a beauty that should age effortlessly for 15-20 years."
 
Winemaker "The Oakville district is home to some of Napa Valley's most renowned Cabernets and the mountain vineyards of Oakville Ranch yield grapes with the deep cassis and classic berry flavors characteristic of the Ranch's red volcanic soil.
 
The 2012 Cabernet is a perfect expression of an excellent vintage in the Napa Valley, displaying dark cherry, cassis and fresh raspberry, with layers of cedar, clove, leather and black pepper. A fruit-forward wine with a juicy center, it opens with fresh fruits and finishes with coffee, tobacco and dark chocolate notes. The tannins are tight, fine-grained and supple, with a velvety middle and a long finish freshened with acidity."
 
(Italy) Terre Nerre Brunello di Montalcino 2010
Bottle $49.99     15% off mix 12  $42.49
James Suckling 95 Points  "What an aroma to this red with so much dried orange peel and tangerine character. Flowers too. Full body, fine and chewy tannins and a structured finish. Ashy textre This is tannic for the vintage and needs time to soften. A contrasty and lively wine. Will come together wonderfully with three to four years of bottle age."

Bottle $84.99    15% off mix 12 $72.24

(California) Ridge Lytton Springs Zinfandel Blend 2012
Bottle $44.99 15% off mix 12 $38.24
Vinous / Antonio Galloni 93 Points   "2012 Lytton Springs has good density and depth in the glass, but the elements aren't fully formed just yet meaning it is going to need time. In 2012, Lytton Springs is 70% Zinfandel, 21% Petite Sirah, 7% Carignane and 4% Mataro (Mourvèdre)". Use your wine clip to decant this immediately and the wine is transformed and aged instantly!

On the nose, it is super harmonious, floral and fragrant. The palate entry is really fluid, and then it explodes along a thread of fine acidity making it long and tasty.This has to be the best Reserva from Murrieta in recent times. Bravo!  Drink now to 2025."
 
(California) Frank Family Napa Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Bottle $99.99     15% off mix 12 $84.99
Robert Parkers Wine Advocate 95 Points "The 2012 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve ratchets up the complexity, richness, breadth of flavor and overall texture and personality. Dense ruby/purple with notes of blueberries, blackcurrants, spice box and subtle oak, the wine is full-bodied, generously endowed, opulent (characteristics of 2012), pure and beautifully textured. Built like a skyscraper, but not heavy, this is a tour de force and a brilliant Napa Cabernet Sauvignon. Drink now-2025."
                              
(California) Ramey Wine Cellars Syrah Rodger's Creek 2012

Robert Parkers Wine Advocate 98 Points "the 2012 Syrah Rodger's Creek Vineyard includes 12% Viognier co-fermented with 88% Syrah. It displays terrific aromas of spring flowers, crème de cassis, blackberries, coffee and incense. Unctuously textured and dense with oodles of fruit and glycerin as well as a long, heady finish, this fabulous Syrah should drink well for a decade or more.  David Ramey, who is one of the veterans of high-quality winemaking on California's North Coast, worked in France and at some of the top Napa wineries (Rudd and Dominus) before settling in Healdsburg in Sonoma Valley."

Freshly cut flowers, savory herbs and the essence of dried roses are some of the many notes that emerge from this huge, dense Barbaresco.

The Pasquero-Elia family has been producing wine for several centuries, making this small estate one of the historic properties of Piemonte. The wines have received critical acclaim for decades."

The Taylor's show more delineation and refinement with pure black currant, cassis, pencil box, hints of marzipan and a hint of dark chocolate. The palate is full-bodied and sumptuous with super-fine tannins, very pure blackberry and boysenberry notes interlaced with cedar, dried fig and a touch of black pepper on the beautifully refined finish. Excellent."  Drink now through 2045+

- "Dark ruby-red. Balsamic vanilla complements ripe dark plum and blueberry syrup on the nose. Rich, dense and suave, with a cherry cola quality to the ripe dark fruit and herbal flavors. Finishes long and very clean, with rising, slightly drying tannins, but there's so much fruit here that the tannins don't dominate. This richer, riper style of Rosso may have been just a little too extracted, but I think it will have quite a few fans. "
