Warrea s has always been a leading producer of Vintage Port and over the centuries the company has made memorable wines which have earned for it First Growth status alongside a very small group of other elite producers. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Warrea s produced some of the greatest Vintage Ports ever made such as the 1870, 1887, 1896, the great 1904, the legendary 1908 and several more, all of which played a very significant role in establishing Port as one of the worlda s finest wines. More recently, Warrea s stature in this field was further consolidated with the superb 2000 and 2003 Vintage Ports which attracted worldwide acclaim.Warrea s Vintage Ports are peerless in their expression of poise and elegance. Whereas some other Vintage Ports can be almost overwhelming in their richness, Warrea s Vintage wines combine elegance, length and balance whilst still retaining the underlying rich opulence of great Vintage Port. This unsurpassed style is derived from the inherent characteristics of Warrea s two principal vineyards; Quinta da Cavadinha and Quinta do Retiro Antigo. They complement each other very well. Cavadinhaa s location, aspect and altitude translate into a cooler ripening cycle providing the freshness, fine subtle floral aromas and ideal acidity, the latter contributing significantly to the winesa longevity. Retiro Antigoa s location in the hotter Rio Torto Valley, combined with the fact that just over 70% of the vineyard is made up of old, mixed vines, results in wines that show great intensity, concentration and complexity. Their powerful structure also provides great staying power.Over the next few years, fruit from Quinta da Telhada will gradually be added to offer an even wider dimension to what is already one of the Douroa s most accomplished Vintage Ports. With its high proportion of Touriga Nacional plantings at an ideal age, this vineyard is set to become an invaluable component of future Warrea s Vintages. Minimize

It is when the grapes reach optimal maturity, typically between the 5th and the 15th of september, that the harvest begins at ChActeau Musar.The grapes are handpicked as the sun rises across the Bekaa valley and are then swiftly transferred to the cellar in Ghazir where fermentation takes place followed by maceration lasting 2 to 4 weeks.During the first year the wine is racked into Bordeaux type barrels made from Nevers oak and where it matures from 12 to 15 months.Our philosophy of respect for nature and ecology is the reason for which our wines are neither fined nor filtered and receive no chemical additives with the exception of the minimum necessary dose of sulphur.At the end of the second year blending takes place with the proportions of cabernet sauvignon, carignan and cinsault varying with each vintage, the only deciding factor being taste.During the third year bottling takes place after which the wine is allowed to rest 3 to 4 years in our cellars before release.To best appreciate the subtlety and complexity of ChActeau Musar red we suggest decanting between 30 minutes and 2 hours before serving. Our wines, in particular the older vintages, are keen travelers, yet we suggest you leave them to rest 2 to 4 weeks before serving, and all the while decanting with great care.While ChActeau Musar red is certainly ready to be enjoyed upon release 7 years after vintage, or at the age of discretion, the patient are rewarded as they are exceptional after 15 years of age.

Located in the Santa Lucia Highlands of Californiaa s Mont ... Read more

Located in the Santa Lucia Highlands of Californiaa s Monterey County, Lucienne Vineyards produces premium estate bottled Pinot Noir from the Nicolaus Hahn Family Wine Estate. Lucienne Vineyards takes its name from two sources: Nicky Hahna s middle name a Lucien, and Santa Lucia, the Patron Saint of Light. Santa Lucia is known for arriving with a crown of candles to bring light to the darkness during the yuletide and winter solstice. Her crown of candles graces our label. The Lone Oak Vineyard in the Santa Lucia Highlands is positioned to take advantage of some of the best grape growing conditions in California for ultra-premium Pinot Noir. The southeast facing slopes sit above the fog, allowing the vines to take full advantage of the sun. This long sun exposure, combined with the cool temperatures from the Monterey Bay, creates a longer growing season which in turn increases the complexity in the fruit. The Lucienne Vineyards 2007 Lone Oak Vineyard Pinot Noir is the third single vineyard program release from this winery owned by Hahn Estates. The Lone Oak Vineyard is a small and prestigious vineyard located in the cooler, northern sector of the Santa Lucia Highlands Appellation. Below average temperatures, coupled with minimal rainfall in the winter of 2007, caused a delayed bud break. Normally, the average rainfall in the Santa Lucia Highlands ranges from 12 to14 inches; this vintage experienced about half of normal precipitation. The summer months were typical with early morning fog burning off by mid morning, then followed by drying breezes. Because of drought-like conditions, irrigation was monitored very closely which allowed the vines to develop enough foliage, yet kept them perfectly stressed which helped prevent excessively large grapes. These dry seasonal conditions led to very small berries and clusters. The quality of the small crop of Pinot Noir was then elevated even further during the warm Indian summer in early fall which allowed powerful, yet beautiful, flavor and tannin development. The grapes were harvested October 3 through 5, 2007 and then hand-sorted, de-stemmed, crushed and loaded into 3-ton fermentors. BGY yeast was used for fermentation at 85 to 90 degrees Fahrenheit with punch down three times per day. Free run was drained off to barrel (50% new French oak including coopers such as Seguin Moreau, Dargaud, Jaegle and DeMercurey). Press lots of wine were not used in the final blend. This vintage of Lucienne Lone Oak Vineyard Pinot Noir, comprised of 667, 2A and Pommard clones, was barrel aged for 14 months prior to bottling in January of 2009. The 2007 Lone Oak Pinot Noir tantalizes with aromas of wild cherry, juicy raspberry and hints of leather interlaced with bright pomegranate and earthy mushroom flavors. The silkiness on the palate leads into a feminine, well-choreographed and elegant finish. Minimize

This stylish, integrated wine is marked by ripe wild cherry and red currant flavors with spicy notes of pepper, grilled nuts, tar and a hint of violets set in structure balancing refined tannins and high toned acidity. The vineyard, overlooking the town of Barolo, stretches north and eastward, and is comprised of five plots: Cannubi (proper), Cannubi Muscatel, Cannubi San Lorenzo, Cannubi Valleta and Cannubi Boschis (also called Monghisolfo) with a collective area of just under 85 acres. While many contend that there is little qualitative difference among the vineyard plots, nor from one extremity of the slope to the other, true purists insist that only wines from Cannubi proper should be entitled to the name as such, and that the four sub-zones should always be differentiated by name, much as Le Chambertin is distinguished from Charmes- or Griottes-Chambertin. Cannubi (proper) lies near the northern end of the hillside extension, below Boschis, on a contiguous plot of 35 acres, exposed principally southeast, at an altitude rising from 750 to 900 feet. The soils are dry, meager and complex, composed primarily of sand and a siliceous white loam soil known locally as ”tov,” with a near absence of clay. Their particularly thorough drainage, which lends the wines an exceptional elegance and deceptive approachability, is in years of severe drought so stressful to the vines that they yield wines of uncharacteristic backwardness. In 1989 Michele Chiarlo was able to purchase 3.7 acres on the central part of the slope in Cannubi proper. Just under one-third of the vineyard at that time supported 20 year-old vines and the rest, due to its extreme, 50-degree slope, had been unplanted for the previous eight years. Michele Chiarlo returned it to production by creating the first terraced cultivation in the Langhe. His first Cannubi, the 1990, was produced solely from the older vines; the young vines will not figure in the blend until the 1993 vintage. Vinification takes place on the skins over a period of approximately two weeks at a temperature of 85 degrees fahrenheit; two years in small oak barrels follow Minimize

Quinta dos Malvedos is rated among the finest vineyard properties in the Alto Douro. It lies on the north bank of the River Douro and its south-facing vineyards and very consistent climate ensure that in nearly every year the property will produce wines of first-class quality. The whole vineyard has the highest ’A’ classification awarded by the controlling authorities. In ’declared’ Vintage years the wines of Malvedos form the fundamental part of the blend which makes up Graham’s Vintage Ports. In many other years when there is not enough top quality wine for Graham’s to declare a Vintage, the wine of Malvedos is nevertheless so fine that it is bottled on its own, unblended, when two years old and left to mature in bottle like other Vintage Ports. Unlike declared Vintages, Malvedos Vintage Port is normally only shipped when ready for drinking by which time it is usually at least ten years old, although it continues to improve for many years more.Graham’s has been offering Malvedos Vintage Port since 1951 and recent years to have been singled out for bottling include 1987, 1988 and 1990. Malvedos Vintage Port throws a similarly heavy crust to Graham’s Vintage Ports and careful decanting is therefore required prior to serving.As with a declared Vintage, careful decanting is essential prior to serving.

A blend of Zinfandel with Bordeaux varieties, drawing from our land the best qualities of each area of our estate, to yield an intense wine of great complexity.Antaeus, the son of Water and Earth in Greek mythology, is the symbol of strength derived from the soil. So too this wine, deriving strength from the matching of site and grape on every part of our land. The aromatics are primarily Napa Cabernet, with all the richness that connotes; the body has Zinfandela s sensual fruit and fullness, but the finish comes through with the structured, sinewy aspect of the Bordeaux varieties. The 2006 Antaeus is composed of 57% Zinfandel, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 7% Petit Verdot and 6% Merlot. The intensity derived from red clay soils is here in full, while the coolness of our site provides the acid balance so essential to a winea s grace and longevity. Fermentations are non-inoculated, MLs are completed with proprietary bacteria and the aging is done primarily in French oak. All the best claimed for terroir or a sense of place is found in Antaeus."Zinfandel brings out the delicate side of cabernet in this blend from the Seps's estate in the hills above Calistoga. Jerry Seps farms organically and ferments the wine without inoculated yeast, allowing the purity of the fruit character and the layers of earthy complexity to show though. The wine hits an astonishing balance in this vintage, rich without weight. And while I have notes on the multihued berry flavors, the floral scents of violets and Earl Grey tea, it's the texture that sets this wine apart, the love child of cabernet's growling tannins and zin's gentler caress. Not to be missed." 94 points BEST BUY WIne & Spirits Magazine Minimize

This dense, concentrated wine is marked by layers of intense wild cherry and red fruit flavors offset by a woodsy, penetrating bouquet of earth with distinct notes of new oak set in a focused, steely tannic structure. The grapes are fully destemmed, crushed and fermented in traditional oak tanks over a period of 15 to 21 days, with manual submersion of the cap three times a day; full malolactic fermentation follows. The wine is then transferred to Limousin and TronA ais oak casks, half of which are new, and topped off every 15 days. The cellar maintains a constant temperature of 12 to 13 centigrade (53 to 56 fahrenheit) for the 18- to 24- month period the wine spends in cask. After blending and prior to bottling, the wine rests briefly in glass- lined stainless steel tanks. The chActeau’s philosophy of quality is such that, on average, only 40 percent of the harvest, originating from older vines, is ultimately retained for the wine bearing the ChActeau de Pommard label. This concept is similar to that of the Bordelaise ”grand vin,” which achieves its greatest potential through the separation of wines from young vines into a second wine. Minimize

Marsala is a DOC wine. It is a fortified wine, made with a blending of three different types of grapes: Grillo, Inzolia and Catarratto. The particular system to make a Marsala, starts during the fermentation. During this process, in fact, the fermentation of the must is blocked through an addition of alcohol by wine.The result of this operation is called ”Mistella.” ”Mistella” is the base to make Marsala.Moreover, Marsala Sweet and Dry have an addition of a small quantity of ”cooked must,” in order to get the particular flavor of fine Marsala.The fortified wine so made, is put in wood barrels for at least 8 months for aging. The wine is aged additionally in bottle for four months for a total of a year’s aging time. The minimum degree of alcohol by volume must be 17A .The process used to make Colombo Marsala, is a process oriented to obtain the maximum quality. Firstly, an accurate selection of the best grapes of the harvest is made for starting with the best base wines. This is a very important step, because all the other following steps, are conditioned by the quality of these base wines.For Colombo, ”Mistella” is made once per year, with the fresh must, during the vintage time. This ”Mistella” accurately made for Colombo, gives a very high level of quality to the product and is a step that many less expensive Marsalas skip.Another important step is the preparation of the ”cooked must” to give the particular touch to the flavor of Marsala Dry and Sweet. Colombo is the unique producer of ”cooked must” made by the traditional (and expensive) system. It is made using a copper pot, heated by log-fire. This old process gives Colombo’s ”cooked must” a special and unique flavor.After blending, Colombo Marsala is put in Slavonia Oak Barrels for aging for at least a year. Into the Colombo Marsala blend, there is a part of very old Marsala that enriches the flavor of the wine.Please note, moreover, that Colombo Marsala Fine DOC has 18A of alcoholinstead 17A of alcohol. The strength 18A is the same strength of a Superior Marsala.Colombo Marsala is made with the utmost care at every step -- incorporating analytical inspections and tastings to ensure the highest quality.

Ferrari RosAC is made using the traditional metodo classico. After a hand-harvest in September, the wine undergoes a gentle pressing and macerates with the skins for a brief time to extract just the right amount of color. The first fermentation then occurs in tanks. The wine is then bottled and a second fermentation occurs with selected yeasts. The resulting wine is matured for 25-30 months on the lees, with a gradual turning of the bottle upside-down (rACmuage). Sediment is removed through disgorgement. The final touch is the addition of the “liqueur da expeditiona (a tiny dose of sugar) and selected wines (the recipe for which remains a closely guarded Ferrari secret). Minimize

Heavy rainfall after bud break and during fruit set made for a nervous start to the growing season. Fortunately, temperatures rose following bloom and remained moderate throughout the summer. The late spring rains and moderate temperatures reduced the need for irrigation, and some of our blocks were dry farmed throughout the season.

CASK 23, made only in exceptional vintages, is usually a blend of the most distinctive fruit from our S.L.V. and FAY estate vineyards. The story of CASK 23 began during the harvest of 1974. Back then, winery founder Warren Winiarski enlisted the help of celebrated winemakerAndrAC Tchelistcheff. As they tasted through various lots of new wines from that year, they noticed a distinct character in a lot from the center of Block 4, a character they described as “crushed violetsa . It was so appealing that they decided to age this wine separately in a wooden cask, number 23. The wine was still so deliciously distinct after further aging in barrel, Warren decided to bottle it separately and give it a special namea CASK 23. Minimize

Our Brut Rose is flavorful, complex and dry, making it both versatile with food and delicious by itself as an aperitif. Each fall we select base wines with the right concentration, balance, and length to create this unique sparkling wine. The character of this wine is most strongly influenced by the elegance of Pinot Noir, but small amounts of Chardonnay add spice, structure and length on the palate. Hand picking, careful handling and gentle pressing produce a wine without skin and seed tannin. The wine then ages on the yeast for about two and a half years, just enough to achieve refined effervescence without diminishing its fresh appeal. Each year, the fruit from a few small Pinot Noir vineyard blocks are ripened for an additional two weeks in the vine, then crushed and fermented on the skins to produce select Pinot Noir base wine lots. The ultimate sparkling wine’s subtle Rose color and its focused strawberry/raspberry-like flavors are marked by the 2-3additions of these red wines prior to the initial bottling and again with the finishing dosage.Enjoy the rich, delicious sparkler on almost any occasion: at your favorite restaurant, with special dinner at home at a tailgate picnic or a backyard barbecue. Try it with grilled salmon, seared ahi tuna, juicy duck tenderloin, flavorful pasta dishes, with aged cheeses and dried meats, or with assorted fruits.Among other notable events, this sparkling wine was selected for White House luncheons honoring the Grand Duke and Duchess of Luxembourg, and later Prince Charles and Princess Diana of Great Britain.
