Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Composed of 80% Grenache, 12% Syrah, 4% Mourvedre and 4% miscellaneous varietals, the 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape Cuvee Reservee tips the scales at 14.8% alcohol, which is slightly lower than the 2009. It reveals a deep ruby/purple color along with wonderful sweetness and lots of roasted meat..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2010 Pinot Noir Ryan Widdoes Vineyard has a certain heaviness to it that I personally find less interesting than some of the other wines in the range. The fruit is boisterous and rich...."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Dried rose petal, raspberries and sweet spices are woven together nicely on a juicy, engaging frame. The Sentiers is approachable now but also appears to have the stuffing to develop nicely in bottle. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2020."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"... lovely sweet fruit at the finish. Light jam and chocolate character. Good finish."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
A symphony of Pinot red berries and black cherry notes supported by soft, complex tannins make this a serious red Burgundy. Christian Serafin's 2010 Gevrey-Chambertin Vieilles Vignes reveals impressive heft and refinement. Floral notes, licorice and tobacco blend on the nose and palate a..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"As I have consistently written in the past, this limited production cuvee, from a 12-acre site that contains a parcel of extremely old vines, 85% Merlot and 15% Cabernet Franc, is meant to last three decades or more. Tasting like a liqueur of rocks interwoven with creme de cassis, espresso roast,..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"A 100% Merlot cuvee from the plateau of Pomerol, the 2009 La Fleur de Gay exhibits striking floral, blueberry, black raspberry, graphite, and subtle oak, charcoal, and camphor notes. This fleshy, full-bodied wine possesses outstanding purity, exceptional body, and admirable opulence as well as..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Medium red. Very ripe aromas of redcurrant and chocolate truffle. Sweet, fat and lush in the mouth, but with its red berry flavors currently overshadowed by the wine's oak element. Best today on the rich, ripe back end, which features notes of cocoa powder and smoky minerality."
