18864 Harlan Estate Red - Vintage 1991
(Wines Located in New York)
"...a profoundly great wine. It came across in a blind tasting as one of the most remarkable wines there, with most tasters mistaking it for a first-growth M doc. The wine revealed an opaque purple color, a fabulously complex, sweet nose of minerals, fruitcake, cedar, toasty new oak, and pure blackcurrant fruit huge in the mouth remarkably well-balanced high tannin level well-concealed by copious quantities of sweet ripe fruit, as well as huge amounts of glycerin and extract."(98pts)

Clos des Perrières, A. Grivault
(Wines Located in New York)
"Now that the vines are beginning to mature, the Clos des Perrières is almost always the best wine in the cellar with its wonderfully elegant, pure and refined white flower and white peach nose complementing perfectly the mineral-driven and equally pure medium-bodied flavors that possess good dry extract levels and offering even more power and length, all while maintaining impeccable focus and balance. I especially like the transparency of the linear and vibrant finish."(91pts BH)

This is more refined than the Combettes and will require a few years to really blossom yet there is so much underlying material that it will be approachable young. Terrific."(92pts BH)

Elegant and medium-bodied, it possesses a saturated purple color, high tannin, and a structured, backward feel in the mouth.

"Quilceda Creek s Cabernet Sauvignon is the winery's raison d'etre and is produced in significant quantities (3,400 cases in 2002, 3,425 in 2003). For accomplishing this feat the Golitzens should be doubly proud. Darker colored and significantly more powerful than the 2002, the 2003 Cabernet Sauvignon displays mouth-watering aromatics of black chocolate, sage, and blackberry liqueur. Its awe-inspiring core of cassis liqueur, violets, blueberry nectar, black cherry syrup, and chocolate is immensely muscular yet elegant. Texturally reminiscent of liquid velvet, it slathers the palate with oodles of fruit, displaying unreal depth, balance, and length. Wow!"(100pts)

Opaque purple-colored, it delivers a remarkable array of aromas including pain grille, violets, pencil lead, truffle, Asian spices, black currant, and blueberry. This leads to a lustrous, layered, velvet-textured wine with gobs of spicy, ripe black fruits and beautifully integrated oak, tannin, and acidity. The long, pure finish goes on for well over a minute. It will evolve for a decade and drink well through 2045."(99pts)

It hits the palate with a seamless integration of wood, tannin, acidity and alcohol and has tremendous opulence and palate presence in its full-bodied, long finish. On aromatics alone, it rates a perfect score, but I ended up being somewhat conservative I suppose. It should drink well for three decades as well."(98pts)

Incredible floral notes, sweet raspberries and blueberries as well as wet rocks soar from the glass of this profound, medium to full-bodied, gorgeous Pinot Noir made from 100% Calera clone. Stunning ripeness, great acids, and terrific delineation are all present in this super-intense, fragrant, modern classic from Steve Kistler."(98pts)
