2006
Numanthia - Numanthia
From Lani & Mark
Firm Tannins frame black cherry, mineral, licorice and herbal notes in this chewy red. Well-proportioned, with lively acidity and a lovely floral finish. Tannic now, but the fruit should emerge with age. Best from 2011 through 2017.(6/09)
Reaching a high point in 2004 with 98 points in the Wine Advocate, it should be interesting to see how this 2006 - a more aromatically expressive, fresher tasting vintage compared to the '05 - fares versus the annointed, long gone 2004. 100% Tinto del Pais (Tempranillo). This one will not langush on the shelves for long, Tremendous power, along with finesse and elegance.
2005
Volver - La Mancha
Very nice soft tannic spices backed by bright berry fruit flavors.
2000
Argyle
Sweet fruit perfectly mingle with ashy tannins. If anyone out there has one of these, drink it now, I can't imagine it getting any better.
2005
Crane Lake - Chardonnay
Surprizingly good. Light and crisp with hints of lemon and oak.
2006
Vine Cliff - Cabernet Sauvignon Pickett Road Vineyard
The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon - Pickett Road Vineyard combines a controlled structure with unexpectedly bright fruit. It proves once-and-for-all that a great wine can be approachable and complex. Juicy, peppery and simply delicious, pair it with grilled meats, or try it with slow-cooked braised short ribs on these cold winter nights.
