                                               Reserve Selections

Stonestreet Red Point Chardonnay 2004
     Only 312 cases produced. Exceptional fruit flavors include white peach, cream, and orange rind on
the nose, followed by apricot and nectarine on the midpalate. 100% estate grown. 92 pts. - Wine Advocate

Sausal Century Old Vine Zinfandel 2004
     I personally toured this vineyard last year and they have a passion for zinfandel. Still family owned.
Cherry and soft hints of spice create a full mouthfeel. Well structured tannis contribute to this full-bodied
wine. Estate grown. Only 460 cases produced.

Twomey Merlot 2002
     The best merlot I have ever tasted. Nestled in Napa Valley, Twomey concentrates precisely on merlot.
Robust, yet elegant. Notes of plum, blackberry and dark chocolate, followed by a long finish with hints of
violet. 94 pts. Wine Advocate

Silver Oak Cabernet 2000 (Napa Valley)
     Deep garnet color. Concentrated nose of cassis, chocolate, clove, nutmeg and vanilla. A sweet core
of cassis fruit and a long finish redolent of berries and dark chocolate.

Dominus 2003
     Roasted coffee provincial herbs, cherry jam, plums and black currants followed by a rich, spicy, full
bodied, fragrant wine. Much more similarity to a great Bordeaux than anything Napa Valley has seen.

Schafer One Point Five Generation Cab '04
     Napa Valley's hidden secret. Rich cabernet flavors with true characteristics of the Stags Leap district.
Sweet cherry and black currant are predominant followed by sweet, but complex tannins.

Penfolds Grange 2001
     The top 1/10 of 1% of the world's greatest wines. A shiraz from Australia with layers of blackberry and
blueberry. Rich harmonious and balanced.

Stonestreet "Legacy" 2002
     A blend of 85% cab, 15% merlot. Flavors of cedar, black currant and dark chocolate, hints of
concentrated black cherry and smoky toastiness. 1,489 cases released. 92 pts. Wine Advocate

Chimmey Rock Cabernet 2003
     Hands down one of my favorite cabernets. I was also able to tour this vineyard and have a limited
number of personally signed bottles available. Voluptuous bursts of fruit with a smooth finish.

Beringer Private Reserve Cabernet 2002
     Very fruit forward with soft hints of toasty oak, spice, and chocolate. Supple tannins linger on the long
finish.
