Cellar/Tasting Notes
Perfectly bright red in color, thus revealing its youth. The nose is generous as a Pinot Noir should typically be. It opens the way to aromas of small fruits and Burgundian black and red berries like those used to make sorbets and creams. The palate is pleasant, supple and well balanced. It reveals..

"The grapes used for this wine underwent the appassimento process for 21 days, and the wine was aged for 18 months in French oak. The result is an intense, complex wine, with red fruit, spice and tobacco flavors." - Wine Enthusiast

Cellar/Tasting Notes
The 2009 Yarden Cabernet Sauvignon expresses characters of fresh forest berry and ripe cherry, with a background of blackberry jam, juicy plum, fresh thyme and notes of earth. Delicate hints of spice and oak add to the wine's complexity and balance its rich character.

Tzuba Metsuda's 2009 Dry Reserve is a blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc and 5% Malbec. The wine was aged in French Oak barrels for 24 months.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Big and dark, with cola, forest floor and other dark, secure aromas. The palate is young and burly, with ripe blackberry, cola and coffee flavors.

A major sleeper of the vintage, this outstanding wine from the Aubert family in St.-Emilion has terrific plum, black cherry and cassis fruit as well as hints of earth and flowers. Supple-textured, opulent and savory, it is a heady, fleshy wine to drink over the next 3-5 years.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The basic Fontenil (95% Merlot and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon) has a deep bluish purple color ... full-bodied, layered, opulent wine, with lots of black raspberry fruit intermixed with some blueberries and crushed rock ... [One] of the best wines from Dany and Michel Rolland ... of Fontenil in Fronsac."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
Aromas of small red berries with some light cherry sapwood and a delicate nose of oak. This is dynamic and full of minerality due to the stony soil.
