Wine Spectator rating: 95. Deep red. Highly concentrated currant and black cherry fruit with a hint of coffee, in addition to aromas of fine herbs, minerals and exotic spices. Almost always most powerful and austere of Gaja's five single-vineyard wines, requiring a longer time to fully develop. A very focused, concentrated wine with a long, lingering finish and refined tannins, it has excellent aging potential. Minimize

This wine is from France, Rhone region. The 2005 Chateauneuf du Pape offers a very aromatic display of white chocolate, black cherry, roasted herbs, pepper, and espresso. The wine has excellent concentration, lush tannins for the vintage, and a round, opulent mouthfeel. It is almost atypical for a 2005 in its fullness and headiness. Certainly the tannins have melted effectively over the last year. Drink it over the next 12-15 years. One of the great families of Chateauneuf du Pape, the Coulons, have been estate bottling for nearly 100 years, and have an impressive, nearly unmatched record of quality. Moreover, one needs to keep an eye out for their best value wine, the Rasteau cuvees they produce. RED RHONE BLEND Wine FRENCH STILL WINE Minimize

Most of McLaren Vale's acclaimed and ancient vineyard land is impregnated with ancient, decomposed laterite granite known as Ironstone. Its extraordinary rusty red-brown color is derived from iron oxides present in stone. larger pieces were cleared from the vineyard late last century and utilized in many of buildings at d'Arenberg and in district. It is indeed fitting that Ironstone is first name given to this old Osborn family favorite as it helps, both above and below ground to produce d'Arenberg's traditional pressings wine. 2005 Ironstone Pressings, one of d'Arenberg's flagship icon wines, is expressive with aromas of red berries, spice, black cherry, plum and freshly cut flowers. palate is immense and beautifully structured with layers of red fruits and exotic notes of spice, peppers, cherries, dark plum, blueberries and boysenberries. finish is long and balanced with piquant tannin and acidity.
