Chateau Prieuré-Lichine (Margaux) 2005:
Dark and rather handsomely styled fruit on the nose, and an attractive, pure, rounded, rather seamless character on the palate. The tannins are well covered at first, but have a very firm nature, and provide a rather fierce grip at the finish. Nevertheless there is a fresh, attractive crispness to the fruit, which has a cranberry and blackcurrant leaf character, and overall this has a nice, upright style. (P)

Francis Coppola Directors Cut Chardonnay 2005:
Made with 100% Chardonnay grapes grown in the prestigious Russian River Valley. We crush the grapes whole-cluster and then ferment the must entirely in French oak barrels to achieve a seductive, round texture with quintessential Russian River Valley flavors of green apple, honeysuckle, and sweet vanilla with citrus notes. Its sweet perfume previews its palate with hints of honeysuckle, crisp apple, and orange blossoms. (P)

Hook & Ladder Russian River Chardonnay 2006:
Owner Cecil DeLoach - who sold DeLoach Vineyards in 2003 - named his second winery Hook & Ladder to honor his firefighting profession. DeLoach's winemaker son, Jason, has made a wine with bright but delicate aromas of cinnamon toast, just-ripe apple, pear, mango and anise. Tart, lively flavors and the grippy palate will be great with food despite a touch of heat on the finish. (P)

Hullabaloo Zinfandel 2005 Napa:
The 2005 Hullabaloo Zinfandel displays a classic briery, jammy nose with further aromas of spice and pepper as it unfolds. Flavors of sweet black currant and raspberry dominate the palate showcasing powerful ripeness, impressive textures and well-integrated oak. At 15.6% alcohol the wine does a fine job of walking a tightrope between muscularity and elegance, which we believe is the cornerstone of great Zinfandel. (P)

Colombelle Cote de Gascogne 2006:
Very pale gold color with a bold nose of lovely green apple, apricot, tangerine and very prominent floral notes. Exhibits the pedigree of usually more costly wines, with superb balance of sweet apricot, wild honey and a perfect spike of tangerine acidity. Sweet floral aftertaste pervades my breath after breathing out post-sip. This is a very light and refreshing, almost weightless, though intense wine.

Van Oosten Batavia Arrack:
A taste that has traveled the world from the Dutch East Indies, unique for its ability to both add depth and lift the aromas of citrus and chocolate.

In pre-Prohibition America, Batavia Arrack and most notably the Swedish Punch were essential to many now-classic cocktails. (P)

As the spirit breathes, the fresh floral notes of Rose, together with Turkish delight jelly aromas emerge and go deeper and its Scottish tablet, warm fudge then back comes the wine influence showing its quality with classic French flair.
