91 points Wine Spectator: "A solid effort, dark, rich and ripe, with plum, blackberry, black cherry, anise, leather and spice, firming up on the finish where the tannins show their weight. (JL)" (07/2001) K&L Notes: In terms of dream careers, race car driver and winemaker are often at the top of the list—though not usually held by the same individual. Yet former Indy car driver Randy Lewis has managed to make a living out of both passions, settling in the Napa Valley, where he’s been at the wheel of his family winery since 1992. Lewis Cellars makes som...

We've expanded our selection from one of our favorite Armagnac producers: Domaine de Baraillon. After the success of last year's 1985 vintage brandy, we wanted to introduce you to their younger Folle Blanche selections. This 25 year old Armagnac is distilled from 100% Folle Blanche and exhibits that same unctuous, rich, caramel-laden profile but with more spice and a dusty finish. It's a big time crowd-pleaser of an Armagnac, the kind of thing that will taste good to your great uncle Larry, but still scratch that spirits geek itch in the back of your thr...

92 points Connoisseurs Guide: "Sporting the plushness and emphatic ripeness that have become hallmarks of Lewis Cabernets, this latest version is among the richer of the early 1998s that have graced our table. It begins with expansive, deeply filled aromas of blueberries, currants, cocoa and creamy oak and follows with broad, well-ripened flavors of a similar stripe." (03/2001)

93 points Wine Advocate: "A joint effort of Mark Herold, a former research oenologist at Joseph Phelps, and Erika Gottl, has produced 230 cases of their first wine, the 1998 Merus. The wine is a blend of 90% Cabernet Sauvignon, 9% Merlot, and 1% Petit Verdot. The wine was made from fruit picked extremely ripe, aged largely in French new oak. It was slightly fined but not filtered. The 1998 (14.9% alcohol) is indeed an impressive wine from a much-maligned vintage. (RP)" (12/2000)

96 points Wine Enthusiast: "There’s something magical about this wine: the purity, the elegance, the harmony, the immediate rush of intensity. This is one of Italy’s iconic wines thanks to the profound purity it delivers with notes of chocolate, leather, cherry, apple, cola and spice. It imparts loads of succulent flavor and is simply beautiful. *Editors' Choice* " (12/2007)

98 points Vinous: "This is the most sublime example of the 1998 l’Eglise-Clinet of many that I have tasted. The 1998 is a Pomerol that, after 23-years, has reached its zenith. It has a simply gorgeous bouquet of ebullient red fruit, black truffle, cedar and pressed rose petals, with exquisite delineation and harmony. That, follows through on the palate that has a fine bead of acidity, perfect balance, brilliant poise and ethereal purity. Whereas previous bottles have been tight and required longer cellaring, this indicates that Denis Durantou’s brilliant...

98 points Jeb Dunnuck: "Just a spectacular wine in every sense, the 1998 is now fully mature yet still youthful, with a vivid ruby hue and little in the way of any bricking. Offering a kaleidoscope-like nose of red and black currants, scorched earth, truffles, tobacco, lead pencil, and ample crushed stone-like minerality, this beauty hits the palate with full-bodied richness, a layered, multi-dimensional texture, sweet tannins, and a thrilling finish. It needs about an hour in a decanter, but this is magical juice, and the bottle was emptied in record ti...

91 points Wine Advocate: "There are close to 15,000 cases of the 1998 Chateauneuf du Pape from the Guigal family, and it’s an outstanding Chateauneuf du Pape that’s still going strong today. Garrigue, olive tapenade, currants and sweet cherry fruit all emerge from the glass, and on the palate it’s medium to full-bodied, supple, beautifully fruited and loaded with charm. (JD)" (08/2015) 90 points Int'l Wine Cellar: "Bright ruby-red, darker than the Gigondas. Riper, more liqueur-like nose complicated by a peppery nuance. Very ripe and fat in the mouth b...

Wine Advocate: "The 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon Estate reveals sweet tannin. It is well-balanced, lush, elegant, and harmonious. (RP)" (12/2000) Wine Spectator: "A firm, intense and complex, if somewhat exotic, style, with spice, beefy currant, soy bean, plum and floral notes, showing firm tannins on the finish. (JL)" (09/2001)
Price: $74.99
94 points Wine Advocate: "The medium to dark ruby-colored 1998 Merlot possesses an immensely appealing spice and dark fruit-scented perfume. While it would be perceived as extroverted, even boisterous from another producer, it is reserved for Leonetti. Medium to full-bodied and hugely ripe, it is crammed with Asian spices, chocolate, blackberry juice, and a cascade of cherries. This expansive, rich, lively Merlot is unquestionably great stuff! There are no hard edges in its sultry character or exceptionally long, fruit-filled finish. (PR)" (10/2001) 94...

91 points Wine Spectator: "Ripe, rich and complex, with layers of juicy plum, blackberry, anise, coffee and wild berry. Turns supple, with a sense of elegance and finesse. Firms up on the finish, where the tannins fold in. (JL)" (10/2001) K&L Notes: One of the most recognizable labels in California Cab, Caymus was founded in 1972 by Chuck Wagner and his late parents, Lorna and Charlie. The family's roots in Napa Valley farming date back to the 1850s. Chuck now works alongside two of his children, Charlie and Jenny, and the family produces diverse wines...

93 points Wine & Spirits: "No tasting note given. " (04/2002) 92 points Wine Advocate: "I must say, served against Pavie-Macquin and Cheval Blanc of the same vintage, one could argue that Becot is the most pleasurable 98 at the moment. Superb delineation and vivacity on the nose, particular compared to the Pavie-Macquin. A very pure bouquet, with blackberries, blueberries and a touch of black plum. It is also beginning to reveal a sense of minerality with time in the glass. The palate is medium-bodied , does not have particularly great depth, but is ve...

Int'l Wine Cellar: "Full red. Sweet, fresh aroma dominated by redcurrant. Sweet, ripe and full, with flavors of currant, marzipan and brown spices. Much better than the Zonchera blend, with an enticing lush middle. Finishes with good length and fine tannins that spread out over the palate." (11/2000) Wine Enthusiast: "A rustic style of Barolo from the six-acre Prapò vineyard. Farmyard aromas show through on the palate with soft fruit and flavors of bacon and acidity. It is certainly a distinctive style with a good sense of elegance and presence, but th...

97 points Vinous: "Ironically, the 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain from a much weaker vintage than 1997 on paper, is a much more interesting wine. Huge and explosive on the palate, the 1998 boasts serious depth and concentration. Iron, smoke, anise and dark red/blackish fruit all swirl around in the glass in a striking, nuanced Cabernet that is among the wines of the year in Napa Valley. If there is a dark horse in this tasting, the 1998 is it. Beautiful. (AG)" (02/2014)

Vinous: "The 1998 Beychevelle has a thin brick rim that shows its 20 years of age. It has a mature but fresh bouquet with black fruit, cedar, cooked meat, clove and sage. I appreciate the complexity here and the terroir expression. The palate is fully mature with melted tannin that have just a little dryness. (NM)" (05/2018)

91 points Wine Advocate: "The 1998 Cabernet Sauvignon is very good. It is all charm and velvety richness, with plenty of succulence in the mid-palate, as well as a gorgeous evolved bouquet of black fruits, cedar wood, spice, and vanilla. There is enough acidity for delineation in this compelling, rich 1998." (12/2000) Jancis Robinson: "Quite a bit of development at the rim. Neat, compact nose with lots of fruit and the merest whiff of cheese. Real lift. Nicely balanced. 17}+/20 points (JR)" (08/2005) K&L Notes: 92-94 points Neal Martin's Wine Journal...

An excellent follow up to Kendall-Jackson's amazing and highly praised 1997 vintage. James Laube wrote in the Wine Spectator: "Intense, with a complex mix of dry, dusty berry, currant, black cherry, cedar, mineral and anise. Depth and richness to the flavors. Turns dry and firmly tannic on the finish. Best from 2003 through 2009. 4,445 cases made."

(RP)" (10/2000) 90 points Int'l Wine Cellar: "Bright ruby-red. Roasted red fruits and milk chocolate on the nose. Lush and dense in the mouth, with leather, coffee, dark chocolate and garrigue flavors, a lightly animal syrah character, and a strong oak component. Finishes fat and lush, with strong roasted wood tones. Quite Languedoc in style. (ST)" (01/2001)

96 points Decanter: "Colheita Port is a tawny from a single vintage, aged for many years in an oxidative way. This is a glorious example, with pungent aromas of orange boxes, fruit zest, hazelnut and almonds, and is rich, satisfying and mellow. With (only) 95g/l residual sugar, this is not overly sweet but has huge depths of complex, smoky flavours. (Andy Howard MW)" (12/2018) K&L Notes: From the oldest brand in Port wine!

Int'l Wine Cellar: "The 1998 Dom Pérignon has an intense white-golden color and is beautifully clear and fine on the nose, which indicates a lovely maturity and displays grey bread, almond cake and iodine flavors, along with lemon and orange aromas. This clarity and mineral freshness proceeds on the highly elegant, finesse-full and silky textured palate, and the complexly flavored, very distinguished finish is dry and mineral, revealing a stimulating salinity and tension.
