Schramsberg
Brut Reserve 1999 (Napa, Califonia)-Most Americans don’t think to age sparkling wine, but this is one for the long-term cellar. It’s very good now and will eventually become great. It brims with fresh citrus acids, and is very dry. There’s a great undertow of lush peach fruit, vanilla, bread dough and smoke that fades into a long finish. Defines elegance and class.

Full-bodied and unctuously-textured, with high levels of glycerin and alcohol as well as tremendous purity, this is a terrific, full-throttle, palate-staining, impeccably well-balanced Chateauneuf du Pape that can be drunk now, or cellared for 12 - 15.

Clos Pegase Winery
“As this deep and generous wine comfortably attests, ripeness is no liability when matched by plentiful fruit. It is wonderfully fleshy in feel with a fine sense of solidity and lots of extracted currants and sweet oak paving its way. Never once does it make even the least bow to softness, and both its tannin and alcohols are buffered by long-lasting, well-focused fruit. It can easily be cellared for five years or more, but its few youthful edges present no immediate problems, and it is genuinely tasty right now.” |

A blend of 57% Grenache, 23% Syrah, and 20% Mourvedre aged in primarily French oak, it is a complex, full-bodied, nuanced red. There are only 10 barrels of this wine made! 95 Points Robert Parker. |
