Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The Cuvee Prestige, the 2006 Haut-Condissas (60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot from the vineyard's finest parcels), possesses a more saturated color as well as additional structure, body, and intense fruit. The finish is heady and long. This offering should drink nicely for 12-15 years...

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The darker, fuller-bodied 2010 Chateauneuf du Pape exhibits plenty of blackberry and black raspberry fruit as well as good acidity and freshness. This rich, dense ruby/purple-colored 2010 is capable of 10-15 years of cellaring."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2009 Pinot Noir is a juicy, silky wine laced with expressive dark red fruit, flowers and spices. Higher-toned hints of mint and rose petals add lift and freshness throughout. This is an especially gracious, refined Pinot from L’Angevin and proprietors Alan Peirson and Robbie Meyer. I love the..

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"

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This is really very pretty and while there is a hint of Gevrey-style animale character, the overall impression of the nose is one of understated refinement to the cool red and dark pinot fruit aromas cut with floral and plenty of earth and underbrush. The supple, round and delicious middle weight..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2009 Cabernet Sauvignon Affinity bursts from the glass with an exciting array of dark red berries, flowers, licorice and sweet spices. Floral notes reappear on the finish, adding brightness and lift. This gorgeous, mid-weight Cabernet Sauvignon should continue to drink beautifully for at least..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"The 2006 La Lagune, a superb effort, boasts a saturated purple color, exceptional fruit purity and medium body, resulting in a sensational wine."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"Over-achievers in short, the 2009 La Fleur de Bouard is fabulous, with notes of blueberry, plum, licorice, white flowers and camphor followed by a full-bodied, well-endowed, textured, supple wine. Stunningly concentrated, yet silky and seductive ..."

Cellar/Tasting Notes
"This is one of the finest wines I have tasted from this highly regarded terroir that has rarely been exploited to its maximum potential. Loads of chalk dust intertwined with sweet kirsch, black currants, licorice and camphor jump from the glass of this full-bodied wine, which has terrific fruit..

Cellar/Tasting Notes
A terrific, classic Graves with notes of subtle smoke, black raspberries, black currants, graphite and unsmoked cigar tobacco, this full-bodied, deep, concentrated de Fieuzal is far more generous and deep than most vintages of the past. There is also a wonderful freshness and length to this..
