Champagne Bollinger Special Cuvee Brut NV93 | Wine SpectatorVery elegant and rened in texture, with resh, ocused acidity nding ne integration with the layered notes

o patisserie apple, black currant, smoky mineral and biscuit, complimented by hints o lemon zest and honey.Lingering nish. Drink now through 2020. asted twice, with consistent notes.

92 | Wine & SpiritsRichness is all in this latest release o Special Cuve, a complex and supple blend based on red grapes (60 percentpinot noir and 15 percent meunier with the balance in chardonnay). Structured by reserve wines aged in magnumbottles, this wines texture unolds with layers o avor, rom subtle Marcona almond to dark-toned apricot andbrighter lemon. Its creamy, saturated and delicious, balanced or current drinking and built to age.

91 | Robert Parkers Wine AdvocateTe NV Brut Special Cuvee is abulous. Hints o pears, pastry crust and hazelnut lead to an expansive core oruit. Tere is plenty o the signature Bollinger oxidative style in this rich, enveloping Champagne. Once againthe Special Cuvee is one o the best Champagnes in its price range. Tis is Lot L114501. Disgorged April 26, 2011.Anticipated maturity: 2011-2015.

90 | Stephen anzers International Wine CellarVivid yellow. Poached pear, singed orange and buttered toast on the ragrant nose. Broad and eshy, with verygood depth to its ripe orchard ruit and honey avors. A zesty note o citrus pith adds li and a rereshingly bitteredge to the long, gently toasty nish. Tis hey Champagne would probably be better with rich oods than by itsel,at least to my taste.

Champagne Bollinger Ros Brut NV96 | Australian Wine CompanionFirst released in 2008, it is in act almost identical to the Special Cuvee with the addition o 5% deeply colouredpinot noir table wine made rom grapes grown in Ay and Verzenay. Tis blend o 06 and 07 base wines was tiragedin 07; it is still bright salmon-pink, and enters the mouth with almost juicy red berry ruit avours beore changingstride into spice and ruit paste, nishing with an almost toasty, savoury nish. Lovely wine.

93 | Wine SpectatorTeres a briny, mineral-tinged wa o seashore adding complexity to avors o black cherry, grilled plum, pastry,graphite and almond cream in this vibrant rose, which oers mouthwatering acidity and nely detailed texture

Drink now through 2020.

92 | Stephen anzers International Wine CellarPale, bright pink. Expressive aromas o resh red berries, tangerine and toasty lees, with a suave oral nuance.Deeply pitched but quite energetic, oering pure strawberry and cherry preserve avors underscored by zestycitrus and mineral notes. Becomes richer and smokier with air and nishes with excellent clarity, thrust andpersistence. For such a powerul wine this Champagne is impressively lithe and incisive.

time with it and the clean sparkle along with the brightness and tightness o the structure begin to make a stronger,savory impression.

91 | Te Wine AdvocateTe NV Brut Rose is a gorgeous wine laced with berries, owers and chalk, all o which are woven together in aabric o unusual class. Te NV naturally doesnt have the weight and gravitas o the 2002 Rose La Grande Anneetasted alongside it, but it nevertheless shows striking purity and class in a more accessible, resh style. It is anotherterric eort rom Bollinger. Te NV Brut Rose is 62% Pinot Noir (o which 6% is still Pinot), 24% Chardonnayand 14% Pinot Meunier. Tis is Lot L819801. Disgorged May 30, 2008. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2015

Celler Gramona Argent Blanc CAVA Reserva Brut Nature 2007100% Chardonnay.Full ripeness in the nose, intense and dynamic. White, stone ruites and a ower bouquet withresh herbs accents adorned with notes o bakers custard, pu pastry and toasted avors. Full bodied but veryuid. Finishes very elegantly, in the superbly elegant style that has placed Celler Gramona at the top o CAVA

producers.

Celler Gramona III Lustros CAVA Gran Reserva Brut Nature 200494 | Neal Martin, Wine AdvocateAt Gramona, detail is everything, pruning according to lunar phases, manual picking, riddling by hand, agingbottles under cork rather than crown cap and using 100-year Solera wines aged in chestnut and oak barrels ordosage. So let us examine what is unquestionably the most impressive portolio o Cavas money can buy.

Te 2004 Ill Lustros Gran Reserva Brut Nature (disgorged mid-2011) is vinied identically to the 2005 and has amore generous but perhaps less animated bouquet with hints o lanolin and dried honey underneath the patina

o crisp citric ruit. Te palate is very well-dened on the entry with lime zest, granite, a touch o orange rind andapricot. Te long, very precise nish has more persistency than the 2005, with tantalizing orange sorbet lingeringin the mouth. Superb. Drink now-2018+

J Vineyards J Brut Rose Russian River NV90 | Wine SpectatorWonderul richness, complexity and depth, built around a core o spicy black cherry and Pinot Noir ruit. A pleasantearthy-hazelnut avor adds intrigue and the texture is smooth and polished, ending with a creamy moutheel.

Vigna Dogarina Oro Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore NV

Te vineyards o Azienda Agricola Vigna Dogarina, are mainly the Prosecco DOC reviso and Piave Doc and, partly,Prosecco Conegliano and Valdobbiadene DOCG. Te arm has always placed utmost care in making the most o theautochthonous vines such as Prosecco, Carmenre, Raboso del Piave and also the less renown and historical ManzoniBianco 6.0.13, originated in the province o reviso rom the cross between Riesling Renano and Pinot Bianco anddevoted to Pro. Luigi Manzoni, head o the amed Scuola Enologica di Conegliano.

Modern and dynamic, the arm o the onus amily was born in the middle o the 70s and is now a jewel in theheart o the Veneto landscape, between reviso and Venice by the river Piave. In the hundred hectares vineyards andmore, the arm produces elegant wines with character, that are the result o the land that nurtures them: the so-calledcaranto, a hard and clayey soil, rich in calcium and magnesium, that conveys wines sapidity, elegance and structure.

Joseph Drouhin Pommard Borgogne 2009Winery Notes:A great Burgundy, worthy o its reputation.

On the palate, the tannins give a certain impression ormness, somewhat soened by a nice, harmonious texture. Persistent avors in the aertaste.

91 | Wine & SpiritsTis harnesses the power o the 2009 vintage in grace rather than excessive ripeness.

Melis Forment de Vinyes Priorat 200592 | Stephen anzers International Wine CellarRuby red. Bright raspberry, kirsch- and mineral-dominated bouquet is jazzed up by incense, oral oil and Asianspices. Seductively sweet and pliant, with deep red and blue ruit liqueur avors and supple tannins. Clingstenaciously on the strikingly long, silky nish, with the oral qualities echoing.

92 | Wine EnthusaistMelis is a project backed by industry olks rom Caliornia (Silverado among them), but this blend o old-vinesGrenache along with Carignan, Syrah and Caberenet Sauvignon is very European. Its heady but well balancedwith smooth edges and not too much ery attitude, roughness or scratchy tannins. Its orward and big-boned, buttheres enough creamy richness to make it riendly. Needs plenty o air time now; should hold well or ve-plusyears.

91 | Wine & Sprits

Balanced at the heights o superripeness, this wine tastes o gs and chestnuts, o the warmnth o alcohol and thewild stoniness o Priorat tannin. Its massive and strong, set to match something equally powerul, sucah as wildboar roasted with dried ruit.

Calera Selleck Mt. Harlan Pinot Noir 200995 | Robert Parker

Another highlight among these new releases, the 2009 Pinot Noir Selleck Vineyard is made in a much more ruit-driven style than some o the other Pinots in this lineup. It boasts stunning depth and richness, but in the classicCalera style that never abandons a sense o structural nesse. Juicy dark berries, hard candy, owers and herbswrap around the rich, textured nish. Tis is yet another dazzling Pinot rom Calera. Selleck is a site with a south/southwestern exposure.

o balance. A so, caressing nish rounds things out in style. Tis is a super-rened showing rom Josh JensenAnticipated maturity: 2013-2023.

I was deeply impressed with the wines I tasted rom Josh Jensen and Calera. Vintage 2008 was not an easy one, asa severe spring rost reduced yields to less than one ton per acre. Most o the Pinots are made with 100% wholeclusters. I am not sure each o these sites is ideally suited to such a high percentage o stem inclusion, especially inthis vintage, but time will tell. Calera has what are easily the most inormative back labels I have ever seen, withmuch more inormation and detail on each wine than I can reproduce here. Kudos to Josh Jensen or providing hiscustomers with the maximum level o detail one could ever ask or.

El Molino Pinot Noir Rutherford 200792 | Wine SpectatorFirm, with a minerally, pebbly edge to the wild berry, raspberry and oral scents. Full-bodied, intense and

concentrated, showing greater depth and dimension on the nish, where the avors reveal their persistence. Drinknow through 2018.

El Molino Pinot Noir Rutherford 200891 | Stephen anzerGood medium red. Strawberry, raspberry, earth and spices on the slightly exotic nose. Broad, luscious and spicyin a crowd-pleasing, easy-drinking style. For all its early appeal, though, this pinot nishes with solid tannic spineand a distinctly savory chewiness that suggests strong extract. Built to age.

Frogs Leap Zinfandel Napa Valley 2009

Winery Notes:77% Zinandel, 22% Petite Sirah, 1% Carignan A second straight year o lower than average yields has providedor a wonderully nuanced, deeply ragrant Zinandel. A wine that expresses its intensity through complex layersinstead o simple, brute power. It is almost impossible to describe the zesty ruit bowl o aromatics: Raspberry?Blackberry? Mulberry? Perhaps razzmatazz berry describes it best. Te addition o Petite sirah underscores theripe ruit avors and adds a spicy touch o cardamom and cinnamon. Plush without ever being heavy or harsh, the2009 Zinandel is a delicious wine that sets the mind thinking o a myriad o potential ood pairings.

91 | Wine EnthusiastA rst rate Zinandel. It shows the classic structure, dryness and tannins o a ne Napa Valley Cabernet, yet the

pepper, baking spice and wild berry ruit and currant avors are uniquely Zin. And look at that alcohol, under14%. Drink this robust, complex wine with steaks, bee stew, tamales.

Frogs Leap Cabernet Sauvignon 2008Winery Notes:Te classic Rutherord characters o earth and dust are present in this 2008 Frogs Leap Cabernet Sauvignon.Aromas o cassis and currant combine with a mineral tone and a touch o warm spices.

92 | Wine & SpiritsJohn Williams consistently grows one o the most compelling Cabernets on the Napa Valley oor--without everirrigating his organically armed vines. His 2008 is elegant and rened, a Cabernet thats not araid to show somevarietal notes o tobacco and herb, along with black cherry and cranberry avors. Its complex and youthullytannic, all woven into a seamless nish.

91 | Wine EnthusiastA very good Cabernet, dry balanced and complex. But its also very tannic, and is not a wine you want to drinkanytime soon. With a solid core o blackberries, herbs and cocoa, it should come into its own aer 2014 or so.

Grgich Hills Estate Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 2006Winery Notes:

We ermented the grapes using only yeasts that naturally occur on the grapes and allowed the wine to gain avorsand color rom extended skin contact. Each lot is aged separately or several months, and then blended to create awine that is more complex than the individual parts. Aer blending, the wine spent another year and hal in barrelto completely harmonize beore bottling. Tis is an elegant wine with aromas o black cherries and licorice and along nish. Full bodied with smooth tannins, its the perect partner with let mignon, grilled steak or lamb chops.

89 | Connoisseurs Guide6% Petit Verdot; 3% Merlot; 1% Cabernet Franc. I a little sti and reluctant on rst taste, this nervy, tightly woundyoungster slowly unolds and reveals suggestions o well-ripened cherries, raspberries and no small measure osweet oak. It is a long way rom being pretty and polished at the moment, and its evident tannin signals a marked

need or patience, but given the winerys track record o making ageworthy wines, it is one to lay away in completecondence.

Heitz Cellars Bella Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon 2005Winery Notes:Te 2005 Bella Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon is a delicious Napa Valley Cabernet rom the rst sip to the long, engagingnish. A swirl o this wine in the glass alerts the senses to the beautiul garnet color ollowed by the resh avorso the varietal, with just a touch o spice on the palate.

the palate, with terric intensity to the avors o black ruits, minerals and crushed stone. For all its considerablerichness and depth, this has plenty o tannic support. Builds slowly and inexorably on the back end, with theelement o inty minerality returning. Tis should evolve slowly in bottle and last well.

Te aromas are earthy with underbrush and herbs playing o the dark ruit. Medium to ull bodied, highlightingthis vintages hallmarks low acidity and sweet tannin; it is silky and spicy with an earthiness comparable to apremier cru rom the Nuits-St.-Georges. Normally our wines are Oregon versions o burgundies rom the northernCtes de Nuits, but this oering has a distinct terroir earthiness that sets it apart rom the other wines.
