Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This is impressive; a ripe, open wine, but showing some lovely, polished new wood flavors, vanilla and just a touch of spice. "

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2009 Orma is gorgeous. Espresso, mocha, sweet red cherries, grilled herbs and plums wrap around the palate in this sensual wine from the Tuscan coast. The 2009 doesn’t quite have the exuberance or sexiness of 2007 or 2008, but it comes very close. Firm tannins frame a vibrant, energetic finish..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Clos Saint-Martin is a consistently brilliant wine from one of St.-Emilion’s smallest vineyards (adjacent to the cemetery of all places). It always reeks of crushed rocks/powdered chalk, sweet black cherries, cassis, and beautifully integrated wood as well as tannin. Its kirsch liqueur-like..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
An enormously appealing style of wine with a dark plum/purple color to the rim, its sweet kiss of subtle oak intermixed with Asian spice, plum sauce, black cherries and black currants pushes some of the oak to the background.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Blueberry, licorice and sandalwood, with a solid core of fruit. Velvet and mineral. Lots going on. An impressive wine from tiny yields. 75 percent Merlot and 25 percent Cabernet Franc."

Cellar/Tasting Notes

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Though rich, this is also beefy, with black cherry, broth and tobacco notes. The tannins are firm, but there's plenty of flesh and ripe fruit for balance. Fine length."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
The creation of Super Bowl-winning coach, Dick Vermeil and his winemaker Paul Smith, the 2008 vintage of the Jean Louis Vermeil Cabernet Sauvignon is a mouth-filling, plush Bordeaux style blend. Concentrated, with smooth tannins, it gives off waves of black cherry aromas and licorice flavors, well..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"From a superbly situated on St.-Emilion’s plateau, 38-acre vineyard planted on primarily limestone and clay, this 2006 is meant for long-term aging. A combination of 80% Merlot and the rest Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon, it is a backward, brawny, muscular, long distance runner. Consumers..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Zenato is a reliable producer of quality Amarone, producing wines that always show personality and intensity. This delivers bold fruit and background tones of polished leather and dry tobacco. The mouthful is very bold and thick, boasting a playful touch of sweet spice."
