2004 Gaston Chiquet Special Club, Dizy, Champagne, France
94 Points Wine Advocate - Nov 2011 Antonio Galloni
“The 2004 Brut Special Club bursts from the glass with terrific energy and sheer class. It captures all of the potential of a year that was especially favorable to Chardonnay. There is plenty of nuance and detail in the glass. The 2004 shows off tons of personality and sheer class. Mint, sage and eucalyptus are some of the notes that wrap around the finish. This is first-class all the way. It is also one of the very finest wines I have ever tasted from Chiquet. The 2004 Special Club is 70% Chardonnay (from Dizy), 30% Pinot Noir (from Ay and Hautvillers). Dosage is 8 grams per liter. Disgorged July 2011. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2019.”

The Special Club or Club Trésors de Champagne (Treasures of Champagne) was created in 1971. The rules for membership are simple: one must grow their own grapes. All members must be legally designated as Récoltant-Manipulants. The wines are all put in the same unique bottle, regardless of producer, but each wine maker gets to put their own label on the bottle. The wines all taste different from each other because they come from different villages/grapes, but they all have a commonality of being extraordinary.


2009 Evening Land la Source Seven Springs Vineyard Chardonnay Eola-Amity Hills, Willamette Valley, Oregon
97 Points – Wine Spectator
“Vibrant and poised, balancing its intense flavor profile of pear, quince and lemon blossom with layers of minerality on an electric structure that sparks with beautifully modulated acidity. A stunning white that has tremendous depth and presence. Drink now through 2020. 487 cases made.” –HS

Evening Land Vineyards is a group headed by movie magnate Mark Tarlov that also owns Pinot vineyards in the Sonoma Coast and Santa Rita Hills and is making wines in Burgundy. They gained control of one of the Willamette Valley’s prized properties, Seven Springs Vineyard, and created an immediate sensation by signing on Dominique Lafon of Comte Lafon in Burgundy as consulting winemaker. The Evening Land group is also making a major effort to restore the health and vitality of Seven Springs. The most recent development is the addition of renowned Master Sommelier Larry Stone as President and GM of the group in August 2010.

2009 Loring Wine Company Rosella's Vineyard Pinot Noir, Santa Lucia Highlands
94 Points Wine Spectator
“Ripe and fleshy, with a gorgeous and generous array of wild berry, raspberry, plum and spice flavors that are full-bodied, and at points both firm and delicate. The finish unfolds to reveal touches of mineral and spice. Drink now through 2020. 500 cases made.” –JL


2009 Alvaro Palacios Les Terrasses, Priorat, Spain
91-94 Points Wine Advocate #194 - May 2011 - Jay Miller
“The 2009 Les Terrasses displays a lovely nose of exotic spices, black fruits, and liquid minerals. It offers greater depth, aging potential, and length than the 2008.”

Alvaro Palacios established his namesake winery in 1989. The flagship L’Ermita made its debut in 1993. Finca Dofi and L’Ermita vineyards are farmed biodynamically. All of the wines are bottled without filtration. In 2008 Palacios was the last grower in Priorat to harvest, waiting out rains that diluted other growers’ fruit. It appears that 2009 was a slightly more successful vintage for Alvaro Palacios (and most Priorat producers) than was 2008. All of the 2009s were tasted from barrel samples at the Bodega in January 2011.

2009 Chateau De Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-Pape, Southern Rhône
96 Points Wine Spectator
“One of the more endowed 2009s, this is packed with dark smoldering cocoa, mesquite, tobacco and roasted fig notes, all inlaid with pure cassis and plum preserves fruit flavors. Long and authoritative on the finish, with singed vanilla bean and tar notes adding length and dimension. Best from 2015 through 2026. 4,000 cases imported.” –JM

94 Points Wine Advocate #197 Oct 2011 Robert Parker
“The 2009 Beaucastel Chateauneuf du Pape is reminiscent of their brilliant 1985. It will be one of the rare Beaucastels that is drinkable upon release. Made from this estate’s classic blend, it possesses soft tannins as well as a silky, open-knit seductiveness, a dense plum/purple color and a beautiful perfume of smoky Provencal herbs intermixed with grilled steak juices, garrigue, kirsch and blue as well as black fruits. The wine is full-bodied, unctuously textured, and silky smooth (the latter characteristic being somewhat atypical for a young Beaucastel). If it performs like the 1985, it will drink well young and continue to do so for 25 or more years.”

Brothers Jean-Pierre and Francois Perrin as well as their four sons, Thomas, Marc, Pierre and Mathieu, have quickly become the dominate wine producers of the entire southern Rhone Valley. They have expanded their operation even further by partnering with the Jaboulets. Now having over 1,200 acres in vine and extensive contracts, this is a high quality locomotive, great news for consumers seeking a range of top quality red and white wines in all price ranges.

Deck the Hall - Napa Classic - $59.99
(price includes wood gift box)

2008 Hall Napa Cabernet Sauvignon
95 Points Robert Parker
“As for those in bottle, my favorite is the 2008 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa. Most of this comes from the Sacrashe Vineyard as well. A dense, full-bodied wine with lots of creme de cassis, charcoal, licorice and forest floor, the wine is opulent and already delicious and powerful. It should continue to drink well for at least 12-15+ years.” Drink: 2010 – 2025

Palacios Package - A Spanish Conquest - $69.99
(price includes wood gift box)

2009 Descendientes De J. Palacios Petalos, Bierzo D.O.C.
90 Points Robert Parker
“100% Mencia sourced from vineyards with vine age ranging from 40-90 years. It shows lovely density and purity in an up-front style. Dark black cherries, violets, and Asian spices perch on a medium-bodied frame with well integrated oak and an elegant personality. With excellent volume and length, it is a classy introduction to what can be achieved in the DO of Bierzo.”

2009 Alvaro Palacios Camins del Priorat D.O.C.
91-94 Points Robert Parker
"Alvaro Palacios established his namesake winery in 1989. All of the wines are bottled without filtration. It appears that 2009 was a slightly more successful vintage for Alvaro Palacios (and most Priorat producers) than 2008. The 2009 is more perfumed than the 2008 as well as more structured. The 2009 was tasted from barrel samples at the Bodega in January 2011."

Orin Swift - New World vs Old World - $79.99
(price includes wood gift box)

2010 Orin Swift Abstract, California
Abstract came out of Dave's love of Grenache and a desire to make a blend using that varietal as the focal point. The wine has an inky concentration rounded out with Petite Sirah and Syrah. Abstract is a blend of Napa, Sonoma, and Mendocino Grenache, Petite Sirah, and Syrah primarily from hillside vineyards. The aromas are laced with crushed black fruits and bing cherry. A mouth coating entry leads nicely into a mid palate with excellent structure and balanced acidity. Ripe cherry and strawberry dominate the finish which is clean and long.

2009 D 66 - Cotes Catalanes, Maury, France
"D66 is the inaugural release from our new winery and vineyards in Maury, France. We own approximately 235 acres of mostly Grenache vines with a little Syrah and Carignan. The majority of the vines were planted more than 60 years ago. The result is a dark, concentrated, and rich wine that has a very dark, opaque red color with subtle aromas of toasted oak, ripe blueberry jam and dried rose petal. Opulent plum and ultra ripe cherry are balanced with asian spices and a bright vein of minerality and acidity that give great structure, weight and balance to the long finish. The tannin chains are long and will lend to ageability for 5 to 10 years." - from the Winery

Oregon Pinot Noirs - Shea vs Shea - $108.99
(price includes wood gift box)

2009 Shea Wine Cellars Pinot Noir, Shea Vineyard
91 Points Robert Parker
"The 2009 Pinot Noir Estate contains some of each of the vineyard blocks in the blend. Given the size of the vineyard and the multiple exposures, there is plenty to choose from in composing the final blend. It is a relatively forward offering with notes of cedar, rose petal, spice box, black cherry, and black raspberry informing the nose of a smooth-textured, savory, elegant wine meant to be enjoyed over the next 6-7 years."

2009 Penner Ash Pinot Noir, Shea Vineyard
92 Points Robert Parker
"The 2009 Pinot Noir Shea Vineyard shows the expressive aromatics of this grand cru site. Exotic spices, sandalwood, incense, cassis, and black cherry notes compose the bouquet of this deep, structured, lengthy offering. It will provide enjoyment for another decade."
