Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 - 89pts
|
|
Price: $84.97
|
|
|
  
Our 2007 Silver Oak Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon is a profound, fruit-driven wine from a great California vintage. It has a dark ruby color with a purple edge and an inviting nose of ripe black plum, blackberry, baking spices and soy sauce. On the palate, the wine is rich and full, reminiscent of the flavors of a berry cobbler. It has a long, fruity finish with fine grained tannins, and is a testament to exquisite ripeness at moderate alcohol. With proper cellaring, this wine should give drinking pleasure through 2031.

Paso Creek Zinfandel 2009
|
|
Price: $14.86

Soils are arid and rocky at best. Rain is incredibly rare. But the diurnal temperature swings are the real story. The abundant summer sun, along with heat that can hit the hundreds, gives the fruit the time necessary for massive flavor development. Then, like clockwork most every evening, the fog funnels in from the Pacific Ocean through the Templeton Gap. Temperatures at night can drop as much as 60 degrees. And that's how the grapes get their signature structure, snappy acidity, and tranquil tannins.

Costers Del Siurana Priorat Clos De L'obac 2003 - 90pts
|
|
Price: $40.77
|
|
|
  
Power, structure and complexity are the three characteristics of this wine. These qualities are partly the result of the diversity of altitude and orientation of the eight Clos de l'Obac vineyards, all of which are sited around the town of Gratallops. The "coupage" is of five grape varieties of which those from more than fifty year old Garnacha and Carinena vines are the most important. They bring to the wine its fine balance and its unique personality.

Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar 88 pts.:
"Bright red. Medicinal red and dark berry aromas are complemented by notes of licorice and herbs. Brisk and tightly focused raspberry and bitter cherry flavors show good clarity, with zesty acidity adding spine. Finishes with an echo of redcurrant and good persistence. No excess fat here."

A magnificent combination of the typical characteristics of the Malbec variety that when pour into the barrels blend with the oak of the barrels and added fruit aromas, plumb, vanilla and chocolate. It becomes a powerful wine in the mouth, with its fruit and wood flavors elegantly harmonized for a perfect balance.
