| Perhaps the finest blend of Verdejo (85%) and Viura (15%) I have ever tasted, this light-bodied, dry white is loaded with fruit. It offers an intense bouquet of orange marmalade, honeyed grapefruit, and other citrus in a fruit-driven, refreshing style with good underlying acidity. A great value, it will require consumption over the next 6-9 months. |

Like many top 2001s, it will be approachable upon release, and age well for 10-15 years. |

| The terrific 2003 Chardonnay Blackjack Ranch Reserve boasts a light green/gold color, crisp acidity (no malolactic), and a layered, mineral-laced, honeysuckle-scented and flavored personality with hints of orange marmalade, pears, ripe apples, and butter. While notions of tropical fruit are present, this 2003 has a steely nerve center and is very well-delineated. Drink it over the next 3-5 years. |

| This wine was aged in French and American oak for ten months prior to being bottled unfiltered. It is a blend of estate grown Mourvedre, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Tempranillo. The wine offers beautiful purity, admirable ripeness, and a mouthfilling, fleshy personality. There are 3,000 cases of this blockbuster, sweet, jammy, black fruit-scented and flavored Tinto. This teeth-staining, seriously endowed red will drink well for 2-3 years. |

| The 1990 was precocious and flattering, with its tropical fruit-scented nose, big, spicy, rich, high alcohol flavors, and a fine underpinning of acidity giving everything clarity and crispness. The 1990 will be drinkable at an earlier age than the 1989, but it will last just as long. Anticipated maturity: Now-2020. Last tasted 11/94 |

| The opaque purple-colored 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon Alexander Valley reveals a ripe nose of licorice, lead pencil, black currants, and tobacco leaf. Nicely textured, with fine density, bigger, more forceful flavors than the 2000, and more tannic punch in the finish, it should last for 10-15 years. |

| The white flower, peach, and smoke-scented 1999 Gewurztraminer Altenbourg Cuvee Laurence is a plump, well-focused, medium to full-bodied wine. Roses, spices, white peaches, and honeysuckle characterize its fat, deep personality. Additionally, this wine possesses an admirably long and pure finish. It is not an exotically styled or flavored Gewurztraminer, yet delivers loads of highly nuanced flavors in its rich yet delineated character. Anticipated maturity: 2005-2012. |

| The 2001 Banyuls Rimage was outstanding. Spiced tea, maple syrup, candied cherries, gingerbread, and kirsch can be found in its expressive aromatics. Medium-bodied, satin-textured, and exceedingly flavorful, it reveals loads of chocolate-covered cherries, coffee, lilies, and blackberries in its super-ripe personality. Projected maturity: 2006-2018. |

| Candied blackberries, black raspberries, and dark cherries are found in the highly expressive aromas of the 2003 Julienas. As Georges Duboeuf stated after extracting his nose from the glass, “we’re not in Beaujolais anymore, I have no idea where we are, however, as I’ve never experienced a wine like this.” Concentrated, deep, seamless, powerful, and candied, it inundates the palate with intensely sweet, syrupy red cherries that effortlessly linger in its edgeless, sultry, exceptionally long finish. Duboeuf claimed “this will easily last 10 years.” |

| 1991 | John Daniel Society Dominus | Red Wine | W11: 12 | | 1 | RP 98 |
| In a blind tasting, both the 1990 and 1991 wines were identified as being French by all eight tasters. I pulled these wines from my cellar to insert as ringers, so I was particularly miffed at not getting their origin correct. The 1991 is the finest Dominus to date, although the 1994 may eventually rival it. The wine is incredibly expansive, rich, complex, fragrant, concentrated, and compelling in all respects. The opaque ruby/purple color is followed by huge quantities of sweet jammy fruit nicely touched by tar, licorice, and earthy scents reminiscent of the aroma of fresh black truffles. The wine is extremely concentrated, opulently-textured, and voluptuous, with huge reserves of juicy fruit. It is a marvelous Pomerol-like wine of exceptional purity and harmony. Although approachable, it requires 2-4 more years of cellaring; it should last for 2-3 decades. |
| | Jonesy Tawny Port | Dessert Wine | | | | RP 93 |
| What a sensational value! Made by Trevor Jones in partnership with importer Dan Philips, this is a blend averaging 46 years in age. Its light to medium ruby hue is accompanied by an extraordinary bouquet of sweet candied fruit intermixed with notions of maple syrup, earth, and hazelnuts. This gorgeous tawny delivers plenty of pleasure. |

| The 2002 Chardonnay Overlook is once again a great value. This 17,000-case cuvee sells for a song given its impeccably high quality. A blend of 82% Sonoma, 12% Monterey, and 6% Santa Barbara fruit, it reveals glorious tropical fruit characteristics in an exuberant, medium to full-bodied, juicy, succulent style with enough acidity to provide cleanliness and vigor. This flamboyant, well-balanced Chardonnay should drink well for 2-3 years. |

| Grapy blackberries and cherries are found in the aromatic profile of the 2002 Savigny-Les-Beaune Les Narbantons. Medium to full-bodied and satin-textured, this extroverted effort displays enormous depth of fruit. Copious quantities of lush black cherries and freshly cracked black pepper dominate this wine’s powerful core. Its drawn out finish is seamless, revealing sweet, exquisitely ripened tannin. Anticipated maturity: 2006-2014. |

| Readers should search out some of the 80,000-case cuvee of 2000 Cabernet Sauvignon Napa, a blend of 78% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot, 5% Cabernet Franc, and 2% Petit Verdot. The dark ruby/purple color is followed by a wine with excellent purity, structure, and length. This fine example of a French-styled Cabernet with California's sweet, ripe fruit will drink well for 8-12 years. |
