Chappellet Cabernet Sauvignon Pritchard Hill
U.S.A.: CALIFORNIA - RED - OTHER REDS/BLENDS
Size750MLVintage2014SKU25156
The flagship wine, the 2014 Cabernet Sauvignon Pritchard Hill, 81% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14% Petit Verdot and 5% Malbec, is a stunner. Inky purple with blueberry and blackberry fruit, cassis, licorice, graphite and white flowers, the wine is stunningly concentrated, full-bodied and seemingly one of the greatest of the 2014s.
S.A. Huet Vouvray Moelleux Cuvee Constance
FRANCE: LOIRE VALLEY - VOUVRAY
Size750MLVintage1997SKU5323
The stunning, virtually perfect, 1997 Vouvray Moelleux Cuvee Constance is so captivatingly pure, focused, and intricate as to be all but impossible to adequately describe. On the palate fresh peaches, citrus fruits, honey, acacia blossoms, quinine, chalk, and lemony mangoes can be found. Additionally, this medium-to-full-bodied, penetrating, yet perfectly balanced wine has a finish that seemingly lingers forever, revealing even more waves of minerals and fruit. 99pts Wine Advocate (1997)Chateau Pontet Canet
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - PAUILLAC
Size750MLVintage2010SKU17255
An astounding, compelling wine with the classic Pauillac nose more often associated with its cross street neighbor, Mouton-Rothschild, creme de cassis, violets and other assorted floral notes. The wine has off-the-charts massiveness and intensity but never comes across as heavy, overbearing or astringent. 100pts Wine Advocate (2010)Domaine Meo Camuzet NSG aux Boudots 1er Cru
FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - NUITS-SAINT-GEORGES
Size750MLVintage2012SKU28535
There is enough wood to notice as it sets off equally cool, ultra-pure and restrained aromas of dark berries, earth and a gentle hint of floral elements. There is superb intensity to the powerful and tautly muscular flavors that exude a very fine minerality on the overtly austere, serious and seriously persistent finish. This big and robust effort is clearly built to age and it will need plenty of it. Burghound 91/93Domaine Meo Camuzet Echezeaux

FRANCE: BURGUNDY - RED - GEVREY-CHAMBERTIN
Size750MLVintage2013SKU28186
Dark red. Tight, high-pitched aromas of black cherry, blackberry and licorce. At once refined and decadent in the mouth, conveying a sophisticated glossy texture leavened by superb cut and energy. Boasts a near-perfect balance of urgent dark fruits and complex minerality, saturating every square millimeter of the palate. Finishes with noble tannins and outstanding rising length.G. B. Burlotto Barolo Monvigliero DOCG
Size750MLVintage2018SKU29579
A classic beauty, the 2018 Barolo exhibits delicate aromas of wild cherry, lilac and dried orange peel. There are earthy sensations and licorice root that add to the gentle volume and silkiness of this pretty wine.
G. Huet Vouvray Moelleux Clos de Bourg 1er Trie
FRANCE: LOIRE VALLEY - VOUVRAY
Size750MLVintage1971SKU5262
A shimmering jewel of a Vouvray from the personification of vouvray winemaking, Gaston Huet. There are remarkable floral, mineral, and honeyed bee's wax notes in this stunner. The length and complexity are a component of the famed Clos de Bourg vineyard.

FRANCE: LOIRE VALLEY - VOUVRAY
Size1.5LVintage1997SKU6962
Extraordinarily rich. An amazing amount of botrytis gives this sweet white a powerful, spicy character, its masses of ripe fruit kept lively by electrifying acidity. So concentrated it tastes as though all the flesh has evaporated, leaving only the spirit behind. Will easily last your lifetime and mine. Wine Spectator (1997)
Thierry Allemand Cornas Reynard
FRANCE: RHONE VALLEY -NORTHERN - CORNAS
Size750MLVintage2011SKU7547
Deep, saturated purple. Explosively aromatic nose shows intense floral, blackberry, cassis and dark cherry, with a ripeness bordering on liqueur-like. Impossibly sweet and concentrated, with intense dark berry and plum flavors and an intoxicating, pungent floral quality. The fruit almost overwhelms the palate and builds impressively through the extremely long finish. A remarkable wine, with the power and balance to age for years. 94pts Stephen Tanzer (2004)
Chateau Figeac St. Emilion Grand Cru
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT EMILION
Size750MLVintage2009SKU13103
Distinctive, with atypical (for St.-Emilion) force and drive to the black currant, roasted cedar and maduro tobacco flavors, which are supported by a dense, loam-tinged structure. Terrific roasted espresso, ganache and fig paste notes wait in reserve. Very muscular, but with the cut for balance." 96 Points Wine SpectatorBillecart-Salmon Cuvee Elisabeth Salmon Rose Champagne
Size750MLVintage2006SKU25830
This is the benchmark for all other vintage Roses. Gorgeous aromas of strawberry and citrus oil with an extra-fine mousse. The palate reveals a significant nod to the Pinot Noir in the blend with bright cherry and yeast as well as balancing acidity. While this is delicious now, the future is promising.
Champagne Billecart-Salmon Grande Cuvee
Size750MLVintage1996SKU7030
The nose is an enticing melange of floral and earth aromas with a dollop of savoury: jasmine, slate, white pepper, freshly baked bread and marmite. The palate is very dry, very tight and seems to be restraining an explosion of fruit and autolytic expression. Crisp acidity and very fine bubbles... 95pts Wine Advocate (1996)
Chateau Haut Brion Pessac Leognon
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - PESSAC-LEOGNAN
Size750MLVintage2002SKU3047

Giuseppe Quintarelli Rosso ca'del Merlo
Size3LVintage2000SKU8997
This single vineyard Valpolicella offers sweet aromas of violet dark fruits and white pepper followed on the palate full of dark fruit and balancing acidity. Immense complexity resides on a medium-bodied frame that shows no sign of heaviness.
Chateau d'Yquem
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - WHITE - SAUTERNES
Size750MLVintage1983SKU16015
The 1983 ranks among the most concentrated wines from this property over the last 25 years, with a staggering display of extract and a mind-boggling amount of glycerin. The vintage commenced early for d'Yquem, beginning on September 29th and finishing on November 18th. The 1983 is enormous, with huge, honeyed, pineapple, coconut, and caramel flavors, massive extract, and an unctuous quality barely framed by acidity and new oak. The wine has changed little since bottling. Anticipated maturity: 2000-2050. 96 pts. RP
Chateau Pavie St. Emilion Grand Cru
FRANCE: BORDEAUX - RED - SAINT EMILION
Size750MLVintage2006SKU11586
An extraordinary perfume of crushed black currants, licorice, wet stones, and subtle background oak are found in this tannic, dense, masculine-styled 2006. Backward and extraordinarily pure, with exceptional focus, depth, texture, and length. 96 points RP Wine Advocate (2006)

Rich and medium to full-bodied, with sweet but noticeable tannin, a layered mid-palate, and a long finish with obvious tannin, it will require 3-4 years of cellaring. 95 Points Robert Parker (2001)

Exquisite sweet wine from onetime Vouvray mayor, Gaston Huet. This domaine's wines are truly peerless when it comes to expressing the terroir of Vouvray. This wine is still in its infancy and has the potential to age for another 20+years.Opus One
