Great balance, depth, elegance and finesse. Shows lots of spicy, toasty, smoky oak, but also plenty of rich, vibrant, smooth and concentrated pear, fig and melon flavors before returning to the toasty oak. Drink now through 2011. 2,000 cases made. –JL

Domaine du Vieux Telegraphe
Châteauneuf-du-Pape La Crau 2007

From Wine Spectator:
Score: 95
Country: France
Region: Southern Rhône
Issue: Dec 15, 2009
Top 100: 2009, Rank: 3
Designation: Highly Recommended

Packed, in a brawny, muscular style atypical for this lush vintage, with a gravelly undertow to the currant paste, braised fig and dark licorice notes. Picks up even more steam on the finish, with grilled mesquite, mineral and garrigue notes and a long, hot stone¿filled finish. Best from 2010 through 2030. 17,000 cases made. –JM

Ladera  Cabernet Sauvignon Howell Mountain 2006
Nino’s Price: $72.99
From Wine Spectator:
Country: California
Region: Napa
Issue: Mar 31, 2010
Designation: Highly Recommended

A tour de force Cabernet. Dense, plush, rich and concentrated, wall-to-wall flavors, with layers of black cherry, black currant, black licorice, mineral and graphite. Full-bodied and tightly wound with firm tannins, yet finishes with a mix of juicy berry and mineral flavors. Drink now through 2020. 3,000 cases made. –JL
