2007 Mer Soleil Chardonnay

Was $33.90 NOW $14.50

"90" Points from Wine Spectator

Fresh, rich, intense and vibrant. Full-bodied, with spicy pear, green apple, honeydew melon and light oak shadings, ending with a long, pure, ripe focus. Drink now through 2015.

 

2005 Pahlmeyer Red Wine

Was $149.90, then $129.90 NOW $94.90

"96" Pointsfrom Wine Advocate

The final blend (84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, and the rest Cabernet Franc, Petit Verdot, and Malbec) has a deep purple color, a beautifully sweet nose of blackberries and cassis intermixed with some meatiness, smoke, and a touch of pain grille as well as notes of espresso and licorice. Full-bodied, rich, with decent acidity, excellent delineation, and moderately high tannin, this is a beauty that should evolve for 25-30+ years

"94" Points from Wine Spectator

“Ripe, rich and complex, with layers of black cherry, wild berry, currant and cherry kirsch flavors that are bold, rich and persistent, ending with a long, intense yet elegant aftertaste."

 "94" Points from Stephen Tanzer

"Finishes supple, lush, broad and long, with substantial sweet tannins and a lingering note of chocolate.”

 

2007 Chateau Saint Jean Chardonnay Robert Young Vineyard

Was $29.90 NOW $18.90

“90” Points from Wine Advocate

The 2007 Chardonnay Robert Young Vineyard is a non-malolactic effort they have been producing for thirty years. With the malolactic blocked, it is tighter-knit than the Belle Terre, offering hints of white citrus and quince, a steely character, and lots of minerality and crispness. The acids are slightly higher than those in the Belle Terre, but the Robert Young offers impressive levels of concentration and rich fruit. As the wine sits in the glass, a note of white peach also emerges. This cuvee will benefit from 1-2 years of bottle age, and should keep for 6-7 years.”

“88” Points from Wine Spectato

Trim, spicy and full-bodied, with ripe apple, pear and melon fruit shaded by a dash of smoky, toasty oak that gains depth and richness. Drink now through 2014.
