Well, Rod Berglund has done it again. The 2008 Cuvee is the best Cuvee I have tried, even better than the 2007 which recieved 93 points from the Wine Spectator. The 2008 is a darker, heavier wine than the previous couple of vintages. A little more blue fruit blended in nicely with the cherry and raspberry fruits. Cola, spice, anise, rhubarb and earth lovingly balanced with a finish that lasts forever. The complexity and layers of flavor in this wine are incredible. This is a pinot that everyone will love.

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.

Sfuso means "bulk wine" in Italian, and this is just like the straightforward and simple wine you get in an Italian trattoria, or when you bring your bottles to the vino-olio store - just fresh Montepulciano, soft, easy and delicious.

The 2007 Graffigna "Centenario" Reserve Malbec San Juan is one of my new favorite arrivals from Argentina. Mendoza is the most famous region in this country, but San Juan has an equally long history and can produce some delicious red wines.

This 1972 is wonderful, so much that we're going to carry it full time rather than on a special order basis. Although it's pricy, this malt is dark and rich and is one of the more complex Speysides I've ever had, justifying its cost in my mind. Candied fruit, rich toffee, and creamy sherry roll over the tongue in slow waves until the finish comes in long and slow. This ... Read More »
