91 points Robert Parker: "From the Santa Lucia Highlands, the 2007 Pinot Noir Sleepy Hollow Vineyard (from one of the older vineyards in the area, planted in 1973) has a similar dark ruby color, more floral and forest floor notes, as well as black currant and cherry, medium to full body, and lots of complexity and delicacy. This is a rich, but nuanced style of Pinot Noir that should drink nicely for 5-6 years." (08/2009) A beautiful, seamless Pinot Noir from the Santa Lucia Highlands, the 2007 Testarossa "Sleepy Hollow" Pinot Noir displays exactly what y... Read More »

From one of the most famous Napa Valley wineries, this lush, exotic Charonnay will dazzle you with its richness and balance and sheer power. "You must try our newly released Kalinda 2008 Napa Valley Chardonnay ($17.99), made for us by the same "cult" winery that produced our 2007, which sold out from our stores within six weeks after its release after some of you discovered who it was. This is a full-blown Chardonnay that provides a real tropical, white peach and spicy cinnamon apple set of varietal smells and flavors enclosed in a creamy/vanillin tone t... Read More »

After giving the 2004 Amici Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon an additional year and half of bottle age, winemaker Jeff Hansen finally decided to release this exceptional wine in October, 2008. And, the additional time really helped, allowing this rich puppy to evolve and open up to show its true depth of character. Deeply colored, the nose is loaded with cassis, currants, blackberries and espresso notes, which is underscored by mild toasty tones. In the mouth, you will be treated to an expansive, hugely complex, multi-dimensional cabernet, with well-integ... Read More »

According to Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar: "Light, bright yellow. Fresh apple, fig and tangerine on the nose, with a kiss of vanillin oak adding depth. Pliant orchard and pit fruit flavors are given tangy lift by citrus peel and dusty minerals. The fruit is a touch sweet but the wine's minerality helps it maintain focus and energy." (May/June 08) According to Wine Enthusiast: "Jordan’s Chardonnay was made full-Burgundian style, barrel-fermented in nearly half new oak and aged on the lees. Partial malolactic fermentation has enabled brisk, ... Read More »

"Produced for us from a well-known Spring Mountain estate vineyard (Smith-Madrone), which is near the top of that appellation, this 2006 "Reserve" Kalinda is a classic mountainside cabernet with incredible natural concentration and focus. Deep ruby, almost inky in color, the nose explodes with definitive aromas of cassis, blackberry currants, and anise. There are undertones of espresso, chocolate, and cedar that carries over into a flashy, expansive, complex, layered palate impression with a huge middle, and all supported by round, silky, integrated ta...

Extremely limited availability with only 1,700 cases produced. 90 points Wine Enthusiast: "It's fair to call this a junior version of Lancaster's more expensive, superb Bordeaux-style wines. Like them, it's rich in black currant and cedar flavors, and quite tannic, a wine that needs a few years to come around. Three-quarters Cabernet Sauvignon, one quarter Merlot."

Bright, fresh and lively. This is a perfect poolside sipper with a bit of melon on the nose and zippy acidity on the palate. Lime undertones.

A slight departure from previous vintages, this Spring Mountain Cabernet is a rich, full-bodied red, deep in color, with a nose that is lively with essences of berries, plum, and toasty oak. The sweet, supple entry crescendos into a deeply intense middle; followed by a pleasant, velvety, lingering finish. 97% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Merlot.

Balance, elegance, intensity, complexity, this has everything we always hope to find in a Viognier but rarely do. The vineyards are nested among the rolling hills in the breezy Napa-Carneros region. The wine is dry and crisp, with a firm acidity, full, creamy mid-palate body and bristling acidity with striking aromas of honeysuckle, key lime, and lemon blossoms.The tell-tale fruit and floral Viognier aromatics are unmistakable, and on the palate the wine is all balance and finesse.

Hall combines fruit from a variety of Napa Valley estate vineyards to create their Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon. The 2005 vintage of this wine really showcases the vintage, which was very long, exemplified by the broad tannins and forward fruit from start to finish. Cassis, blackberry, leather and spice intertwine with ripe cherry and vanilla notes that are powerful straight through. This is a big wine that needs some decanting now and one that will mature nicely in your cellar over the next decade.

A classic expression of unfiltered Chardonnay; this rich and powerful wine opens with aromas of citrus flowers, coconut, butterscotch and roasted almonds. On the palate the wine combines butter and oak with layers of peach, mango and honey and a touch of mineral on the finish. To fully enjoy the rich intensity of this wine, serve it with simply prepared succulent dishes such as broiled monk fish, braised pork with apples, or salmon with tarragon aioli.

One star from the Connoisseurs' Guide to California Wine: "6% Malbec. Those with less time on their hands or a somewhat less flush wallet will want to try this wine from Blue Rock rather than its mate above. Its cassis, black cherry, roasted coconut and vanilla bean aromas are followed on the palate by early suppleness and evident but less forceful tannins, and if it is a tad less dramatic, it is clearly more accessible." (12/08) A more precocious version of Blue Rock's Alexander Valley Cab than other recent vintages, the 2005 will charm you from the get... Read More »
