Almaviva 2005 Puente Alto Chile
Dense but racy, thanks to plenty of fine-grained tannins that carry the shaved vanilla bean, black currant paste, fig and loam notes through a superlong finish. Additional tobacco and cedar hints chime in on the finish. Really well-built, showing a Maipo profile with a Bordeaux-like structure. Needs cellaring to fill out fully. Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère and Cabernet Franc. Best from 2009 through 2016. WS 95 Rating

Altamura 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
I was blown away by the 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon, which spent almost 34 months in 70% new French oak barrels. The wine is beautifully impressive, with a deep ruby/purple color and notes of loamy soil intermixed with creme de cassis, cedar, and licorice. The wine is full-bodied, powerful, but beautifully nuanced and nicely structured, with sweet, silky tannins. This wine should evolve for at least 20 or more years. The good news is that there are about 3,800 cases of this superb Cabernet. RP 94 Rating

Altesino 2003 Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli Tuscany
The single-vineyard 2003 Brunello di Montalcino Montosoli, from one of the region-s top sites, is fresher and more vibrant than the regular bottling, with superior balance and finesse. It shows lovely plumpness, clarity and depth in its black cherries, oak, spices and tobacco. This medium to full-bodied wine should drink beautifully over the next decade or so. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2018. RP 91 Rating

Anaperenna by Ben Glaetzer 2006 Shiraz-Cabernet Barossa Valley
The 2006 Shiraz (75%) – Cabernet Sauvignon (25%) “Anaperenna” is the wine formerly known as Godolphin, the change resulting from a trademark dispute. It was aged for 15 months in new French and American oak. Opaque purple, it offers a sensational bouquet of pain grille, scorched earth, meat, game, blueberry, and black currants. This is followed by a surprisingly elegant yet powerful, structured wine with gobs of spicy fruit, ripe tannins, and a plush texture. The long, 60-second finish is succulent and sweet. Give this classy wine 4-6 years in the cellar and enjoy it through 2030. Hats off to Ben Glaetzer for producing an extraordinary portfolio! RP 94 Rating

Atalon 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon exhibits a fruit-forward personality, along with notes of melted licorice, black currants, tobacco leaves, and sweet oak in a lush, medium-bodied style with no hard edges. There are 4,400 cases of this 2002, which should enjoy broad crowd appeal. RP 90 Rating

Atlas Peak 2003 Claret Napa Valley
51% Cabernet Sauvignon; 34% Merlot; 15% Petit Verdot. This deep and concentrated youngster is the best filled of the several Atlas peak bottlings, and its far-ranging display of ripe cherries, cassis, rich oak and enticing accents of orange-rind goes right to the point of what good "claret" should be. If showing the first signs of suppleness, it is still framed by plentiful tannins, but its fruit has more than enough staying power at the finish, and its future is entirely secure. CG 91 Rating

Atlas Peak 2003 Howell Mountain Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Immensely ripe, just explosive in young Cabernet flavors, and wrapped in those Howell tannins that require extensive cellaring. The wine, nearly 100% Cab, is totally dry and very oaky, from 100% new, small French barrels. But it’s easily big enough in black currant, cherry and cocoa flavors to handle all that wood. Drinkable now, after decanting, with rich, fatty meats, and through 2020. WE 92 Rating

Barnett 2006 Chardonnay Savoy Vineyard Anderson Valley
Decant this Chard for a while before serving, and don’t pour it too cold. It’s a tightly wound wine that needs to aerate, in order to liberate the complexities. It’s marked by crisp acids and flinty minerals, with undergirdings of peaches, pears and exotic tropical fruits, and is bone dry, in the best way. Undoubtedly will develop for a number of years WE 93 Rating

Barnett 2006 Pinot Noir Savoy Vineyard Anderson Valley
Barnett is better known as a producer of very good Cabernet. But their Chardonnays can be great, and so can their Pinot Noirs. This single-vineyard bottling has the elegance of the best Anderson Valley Pinots, a dry, crisp wine of great complexity. The flavors of cherries, licorice, Dr. Pepper, sweet Chinese tea and bacon are delicious and compelling. WE 93 Rating

Ben Marco 2006 Malbec Mendoza Argentina
The 2006 Malbec (with 10% Bonarda) received 11 months in 50% new French oak and 50% 1 year American oak. Purple-colored, it offers an attractive toasty, smoky nose with notes of earth and black cherry. Medium-bodied and elegant, it is smooth-textured, ripe and concentrated with enough silky tannin to allow several years of development. It should drink well through 2020. This wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered. RP 91 Rating

Bruno Giacosa 2004 Barolo Falletto Piedmont Italy
Giacosa’s 2004 Barolo Falletto is so compelling it will be hard not to drink it in its youth. This gorgeous Barolo reveals a deeply structured frame layered with sweet dark fruit, mint, spice and pine. At once delicate and powerful, it is a beautifully finessed wine that is sure to provide much pleasure. A recent bottle of the 1982 is a testament to the virtues of this great site as interpreted by Bruno Giacosa. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024. RP 96 Rating

Cardinale 2005 Proprietary Red Napa Valley
This 1,000-case cuvee from three separate Napa vineyards – the Veeder Peak Vineyard high up on Mt. Veeder, the Keyes Vineyard on Howell Mountain, and the Stags Leap Vineyard on the valley floor – is a blend of 89% Cabernet Sauvignon and 11% Merlot. Deep ruby/purple to the rim, with notes of graphite, black cherry and black currant liqueur, licorice, and spice box, the wine has silky tannins, full body, a gorgeously layered, rich mouthfeel, and a long finish with moderately high tannins and refreshing acidity. It’s a big wine for sure, but it has uncanny elegance, purity, and length. RP 95 Rating

Chateau de Beaucastel 2005 Coudoulet de Beaucastel Cotes du Rhone Southern Rhone Valley
The 2005 Beaucastel Coudoulet Cotes du Rhone is another outstanding example of this Cotes du Rhone made essentially across the border from Chateauneuf du Pape. Notes of tapenade, licorice, smoked herbs, and meat juices interwoven with black cherry and darker fruits are followed by an expansive, broadly flavored, full-bodied wine with no hard edges, gorgeous fruit purity, and a long, spicy, heady finish. This is almost the bottled essence of Provence. Drink it over the next decade or more. RP 91 Rating

Chateau Pape Clement 2005 Bordeaux Blend Pessac Leognan
Probably the greatest Pape-Clement ever made, the dense purple-colored 2005 (a blend of 55% Merlot and 45% Cabernet Sauvignon) exhibits sumptuous notes of smoky scorched earth, graphite, melted licorice, and blackberries. Once past the exquisite perfume, the wine reveals full body, extraordinary concentration, plenty of chocolate, smoke, cassis, and blackberry flavors, and that unmistakable volcanic ash-like earthiness that comes from this appellation. The tannins are slightly sweeter than those found in most northern Medocs, but this is still a backward, large-scaled effort that requires 7-8 years of cellaring. It should last for 30-35 years.

Ciacci Piccolomini d' Aragona 2003 Brunello di Montalcino Tuscany
The estate’s medium-bodied 2003 Brunello di Montalcino is made in an accessible, forward style. Dark cherries, tobacco, earthiness and tar nuances all flow from the glass in this poised, feminine expression of Sangiovese from the southern part of Montalcino. The wine shows outstanding persistence and a pretty note of freshness that rounds out the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2018. Proprietor Paolo Bianchini is upbeat about his 2003 Brunellos. It is the first vintage in which he had the tools to perform a cold soak, which he feels was especially critical in preserving as much freshness as possible in the wines. For the Brunellos, fermentation and maceration lasted several weeks and the wines were aged in cask. RP 91 Rating

Clos Pegase 2004 Hommage Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Far richer and fuller in style...the Clos Pegase Hommage bottling is at once very ripe, long on extract and fit with a wealth of rich oak and woody, vaguely leathery spice. Its principal theme is one of deep, curranty fruit, however, and, if giving lots of play to youthful tannins just now, it has the fruity strength to carry it for the five to eight years of aging" CG 91 Rating

Medium-deep ruby. Ripe red fruit nose is immensely appealing, with a touch of vanillin oak nicely enrobing ripe red cherry, strawberry and plum aromas. The very up-front, sweet red and black fruit flavors are ripe and dense, with sneaky complexity, making this immediately pleasing and accessible. Finishes with smooth tannins and excellent length.

Continuum 2005 Bordeaux Blend Napa Valley
There are 1,000 cases of Tim Mondavi’s debut wine, a blend of 65% Cabernet Sauvignon and the rest equal parts Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. This is the first wine Tim has produced since Constellation purchased the Robert Mondavi winery. An excellent beginning, this 2005 exhibits a dense ruby/purple color followed by a beautiful nose of lead pencil shavings intermixed with creme de cassis, subtle wood smoke, and hints of bay leaves as well as spring flowers. Full-bodied with lovely purity, nicely integrated wood, tannin, acidity, and alcohol, and a long finish reminiscent of a classic Bordeaux Pauillac, while accessible, it should age effortlessly for 15 or more years.

Corison 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Proportion and admirable varietal precision are the watchwords of this beautifully made wine, and it reminds that great Cabernet is born from balance and depth more than unbridled ripeness. Lightly dusty with deft touches of briar and loam comfortably tied to its classic, ripe-currant fruit, the wine has plenty of mass but is always light on its feet with integral tannins doing their part in providing structural spine. Wines of this crafting usually tempt early drinking, and, though we would not complain at a glass in a few years. CG 95 Rating

Cos d'Estournel 2005 Bordeaux Blend Saint Estephe
While I am not convinced the 2005 Cos d’Estournel will eclipse the compelling 2003 Cos, it is unquestionably another superb classic from proprietor Michel Reybier and his brilliant winemaker, Jean-Guillaume Prats. Made from an unusually high percentage of Cabernet Sauvignon (78%) and the balance mostly Merlot with a tiny dollop of Cabernet Franc, this superb effort requires plenty of time in the bottle. It boasts an inky/purple color as well as a glorious perfume of licorice, Asian spices, creme de cassis, blackberries, and toasty oak. This full-bodied St.-Estephe is exceptionally powerful, pure, and dense with a layered mid-palate that builds like a skyscraper. While there are massive tannins, they are remarkably velvety and well-integrated in this big, backstrapping effort that should enjoy an unusually long life. Forget it for 8-10 years, and drink it between 2017-2040. RP 98 Rating

Costanti 2003 Brunello di Montalcino Tuscany
Costanti’s 2003 Brunello di Montalcino is among the handful number of standouts in this vintage. The wine reveals lovely depth and purity. Fragrant aromatics meld seamlessly onto the palate, where layers of dark cherries, spices and toasted oak come to life in a very pretty expression of Sangiovese from Montalcino. There is plenty of volume and depth here to insure at least another decade of superb drinking. The 2003 Brunello saw malolactic fermentation in steel, after which it spent about 18 months in 350-liter French oak barrels followed by another roughly 18 months in 30-hectoliter Slavonian oak casks. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2018. RP 93 Rating

Domaine Santa Duc 2005 Gigondas Southern Rhone
The 2005 Gigondas Tradition (the basic cuvee) is elegant with notes of blueberry, black cherry, crushed rock, and white flowers in a medium-bodied style with tart acids. The wine is Burgundian because of the acid profile, but the acids are totally natural and give the wine purity, vibrancy, and more compactness than normal. This wine needs 2-3 years of bottle age and should keep for 15 or more years. This is arguably the best estate of Gigondas, although the exuberant proprietor Yves Gras has plenty of competition from his nearby neighbor Louis Barruol at St.-Cosme. RP 90-92 Rating

A beautiful, sweet nose of roasted coffee interwoven with kirsch, black currant, cedar, and spice box emerges from this deep ruby/purple-colored wine. The wine has fabulous intensity, a layered, opulent, full-bodied mouthfeel, well-integrated acidity, and a stunningly long finish. The layering of this wine as it builds incrementally on the palate is something to behold. An outstanding, sexy, ageworthy Dominus, it will benefit from 2-3 years of cellaring, and last for at least 25 or 30 years. RP 96 Rating

Far Niente 2004 Cabernet Sauignon Napa Valley
Far Niente has produced a tannic, drily astringent young wine that’s nowhere near ready to drink. It’s tough as nails, with a gritty astringency that locks down the black currant and dark, unsweetened chocolate flavors. But it is a very balanced, distinguished wine that should easily negotiate the next 10 or 15 years, with proper cellaring. WE 92 Rating

Fuligni 2003 Brunello di Montalcino Tuscany
Fuligni’s gorgeous 2003 Brunello di Montalcino is unquestionably one of the stars of the vintage. Made in a style that captures elements of both traditional and modern styles, it presents a very attractive array of ripe red fruits, smoke, tar and tobacco and toasted oak on a firm, classically-built frame. While it isn’t quite as fresh as some of the other Brunellos from this part of the zone, its seamless texture and silky tannins make for a beautifully-balanced wine to enjoy now and over the next dozen years or so. This is just about as good as it gets in the tricky 2003 vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2008-2015. RP 93 Rating

Hanzell 2005 Chardonnay Sonoma Valley
Few wineries in California can craft a Chard as rich, balanced and ageworthy as this. In its youth this ‘05 is flashy in lemondrop, pear and spicy anise, with a honeyed finish and crisp acidity. It’s quite addictively brilliant, a wine whose lush harmony mesmerizes the palate. But Hanzell Chards invariably age well, and this is a wine you can dependably put into your cellar for 5, 10, 15 years, even longer, as it continues to evolve and become more limpid and minerally.

Inky ruby. Pungent dark berry and candied cherry aromas are complicated by smoked meat, licorice and Asian spices. Powerful and deep in dark berry flavors, but almost shockingly lithe and precise, displaying fresh raspberry and blueberry on the back. An undercurrent of juicy acidity contributes lift and precision, and helps to extend the finish. This terrific shiraz offers a deft balance of finesse and depth, not to mention impressive finishing clarity and cut. ST 93 Rating
