"Terre Nere’s 2010 Etna Bianco Cuvee Vigne Niche wraps around the palate with serious depth, power and richness. I very much like the way the 2010 fleshes out in the glass, coming at the palate in all directions with seemingly endless layers and pure, delineated fruit. Smoke, white truffle and..

From an extraordinary California vineyard, the Talbott Sleepy Hollow deftly combines ripe, core fruit flavors with sweet oak nuances; lasts long and lustfully on the palate and into the finish.

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"... Pronounced nutty piquancy and wet stone in the nose as well as on the palate here mingle with smoky snuffed candle wick and black tea; quince and white peach...this Clos du Papillon grips so authoritatively and combines such a sense of stuffing and stone without becoming heavy or bitter than..

"2003 was a great vintage for Roederer Estate. This, their top vintage wine, is very great, and the price is an absolute steal for this world class sparkler. It’s enormously rich in the strawberries from Pinot Noir and the limes from Chardonnay, while the toast and rich lees combine for a perfect..

"Ebulliently floral on the nose, this decadently creamy Tokaji bursts with characteristic honey, peach preserve and dried fig sweetness. A streak of citrusy acidity adds balance, while subtle hints of caramelized sugar and tea leaves add twists to the long, honey-kissed finish."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Full-on apple and quince flavors provide the richness to balance the briskness of the soil character. This is sunny and earthy at once, mouthwatering in its freshness, firmly structured for aging."

"Foxen's UU Block from the famed Bien Nacido Vineyard fights it out every year with the estate Tinaquaic Chardonnay for top honors. In this cool vintage, the former wins out by a hair. Dry, steely and crisp in acidity, it shows vast tropical fruit, orange, vanilla, honey and buttered toast flavors..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"While there are not a whole lot of noble sweet wines in the cellars this year, the two Spätlesen that Tim Fröhlich has fashioned from the Felseneck are absolutely outstanding. The “regular” Spätlese offers up a beautifully filigreed and pure bouquet of pink grapefruit, tangerine, slate, bee pollen..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Very graceful, with lovely harmony and detailed texture. Lightly creamy, offering a subtle blend of Fuji apple, hazelnut, lemon pound cake and smoke flavors, with vibrant, mouthwatering acidity. Disgorged February 2011. Drink now through 2018. "

RP: "More Burgundian than Bordeaux-like, Gerard Perse's 2005 white Monbousquet exhibits rich, medium to full-bodied flavors of smoky oak, mango, white peaches, honeysuckle, and nectarine. While delicious, its aging potential is suspect, and I suggest consuming it over the next 4-5 years"
