Buy Now: $71.95

NVWE NOTES: This Cabernet is beautifully evolved already, anoffers a gorgeous nose of sweet red cherry, red currant,tobacconist-shop spice, mocha, vanilla-caramel and hints of driedmint and laurel. It is more brightly youthful and even more focusedon the palate, where it is firmed by some tannic grip, yet itssilky, palate-coating mouth-feel and super-long finish bring awonderfully femininity to its personality. It will undoubtedly bebetter in two years, but it steals the show already. 2000 casesproduced.

Heitz Cabernet Sauvignon Martha's Vineyard Oakville Napa Valley 2007
Buy Now: $199.95

NVWE NOTES: Darkly ripe and full of promise, yet verytightly wrapped, the nose of this brooding Cabernet offers sweetMichigan cherry and red currant fruit tied to toasty vanilla, withhints of mint and laurel. It is huge and powerful on the palate,with ferocious tannic backbone and tightly coiled cherry, red plum,red berry fruit and lots of dark, smoky, oaky spice. The finish isvery long and carries an ample portion of sweet cherry-plum fruit,zesty acidity, tannin and pretty dried herb and tobacconist-shopspice. Probably ten years or so from its maturity, this is the mostpowerful Martha’s since the 1974. It should be really somethingsome day, but is probably another three years from easydrinkability. 1500 cases produced

Drew Winery Pinot Noir Mcdougall Ranch Sonoma Coast 2009
Buy Now: $49.95

NVWE NOTES: 2009 is an acknowledged great year in theMcDougall vineyard, so this wines ripe aromas of sweet red plum,boysenberry, whortleberry, pink peppercorn, coriander seed, roastedgrain and dark earth come as no surprise. The wine provesunexpectedly soft-edged on the palate though, as its firm tanninsare swamped by layers of sweet-natured fruit. The finish is darklyrich and almost genteel, as it is so front-loaded with juicy Bingcherry and ripe plum fruit. Expect at least two or three years offurther development, and don’t be surprised if this one proveslong-lived. 183 cases produced.

The finish is lingeringand a bit grippy with tannin, and although the wine should servenicely now with sauteed duck breast and the like, it will show atits best if given another three years to flesh-out and evolve whatpromises be a gorgeous bouquet. 72 cases produced.

Keenan Mernet Proprietary Red Wine Spring Mountain 2008
Buy Now: $99.95

NVWE NOTES: The 2007 Mernet was an amazing wine, yet this2008 seems even more fruit-drenched, and delivers an even moreforthcoming expression of its mountain terroir. The nose isdecadently rich, layering a wave of sweet cherry, Black cherry andpomegranate syrup over seductively sweet vanilla, baking spice,dark earth and briar scents. Things are almost heroically rich onthe palate, where the flavors are a penetrating melange of cherry,pomegranate, licorice root, briar, blood orange, dark earth andvanilla. The finish lingers brilliantly and the wines substantialspine of tannin seems insignificant under the weight of its opulenttexture and flavor. At least 5 years from maturity, it may wellproved long-lived. 50% Merlot & 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 350cases produced.
