2009 Jordan Vineyard and Winery Cabernet Sauvignon, Alexander Valley, Ca, $53 – Rating 92

Consistently a great Cabernet, elegant and medium bodied. A blend of 75% Cabernet Sauvignon, 19% Merlot, 5% Petit Verdot and 1% Malbec at only 13.5% alcohol, it is very approachable with only a short decant. The nose excites with aromas of cherry, raspberry, dark chocolate, a little chili spice. Well integrated flavors, supple tannins and balanced acidity all combined with flavors of plum, dark cherry, raspberry, dusty dark chocolate and baking spice. Definite notes of dark cherry chocolate on long finish. Buy This Wine

Loved this wine. A subtly earthy style with lovely aromas of dark cherry, plum with hints of campfire smoke and leather. Juicy food-pairing acidity and integrated tannins create an intriguing mouth-feel with flavors of black cherry, sour cherry, raspberry and brown spice. Dark cherry and chocolate on the finish.

2011 Belle Glos Las Alturas Vineyard Pinot Noir, Santa Lucia Highlands, Monterrey County, CA, $44 (S) – Rating 92

For those craving a lush yet balanced style of Pinot Noir, this offering from Belle Glos will not disappoint. A rich and structured nose of dark cherry, plum and jammy spice is a mere prelude to a palate explosion of cherry, blackberry and plum with hints of raspberry and dark chocolate on the long finish. Balanced acidity and supple tannins add complexity. Buy This Wine

2012 Alpha Omega Winery Unoaked Chardonnay, Napa Valley, Ca, $32 (S) – Rating 91

A refreshingly lean and clean style with crisp yet balanced acidity. A nose of ripe pineapple and a hint of green apple is the prelude to perfectly integrated flavors of lemon creme, ripe pineapple, citrus and complimentary minerality. Paired wonderfully with a summer fruit salad laced with poppy seed dressing. Buy This Wine
