Springfield, Missouri Volume 11 No. 85 September/October, 2006 Very Serious Merlot! The waiting list at Leonetti Cellars in Walla Walla, Washington, is more than 1000 names long—all eager to acquire a single bottle of Figgin’s monumental Cabernet and outstanding Merlot. 2003 & 2004 GARY FIGGINS, PROPRIETOR & WINEMAKER Leonetti Cellar Merlot “…I was enraptured by the 2003 Merlot (rated 95/100)…This concentrated gem slathers the palate with black raspberries that envelope its significant tannins…the aromatically floral 2004 Merlot (rated 94/100) holds its own in a qualitative comparison…an elegant yet full-flavored wine.” Wine Advocate $ 69 99 each per bottle [email protected] • www.brownderby.com | PG. * The V in e ya r d , Sep t em b er / O ct o b e r , 2 0 0 6 2005 Bordeaux Futures Robert Parker, in his Wine Advocate, Issue #164, says of the 2005 vintage: “I have never tasted so many extraordinarily rich, concentrated, massive wines so high in tannin and extract, yet with such precision, definition, and freshness. It is clearly a singular vintage that should evolve into one of the great vintages of Bordeaux. However, it seems premature and risky to conclude so soon that the finest wines of 2005 are superior to the best of 2003, especially the northern Médocs, or the best wines of 2000, 1998 (for Pomerol and St.-Emilion), 1990, or the most profound 1989s and 1982s. Only time will prove the true quality of 2005, but it is beginning life as an extraordinary as well as remarkably consistent vintage.” This is from a man that has set the reference point reviews for Bordeaux for well over twenty years! Comparisons are being made to the best vintages of the past century--2000, 1990, 1982, 1959, and 1949. This is not a vintage to miss out on!

The sumptuous robes of the 2005 wines reflect a vintage of great quality.” Georges Duboeuf, March 2006 GEORGES DUBOEUF Arriving Soon! -Cru Beaujolais- 2005 Brouilly Ch. de Nervers .............................................................. 11.99 “Rich, powerful, and fleshy…” Robert Parker, rated 90-92/100 2005 Brouilly Domaine Combillaty.................................................... 12.99 “…wonderfully concentrated, fresh, deep and long in the finish.” Robert Parker, rated 92/100 2005 Brouilly Domaine de La Perriere ................................................ 11.49 “…is a muscular wine…big, broad, and filled with satiny layers of blackberries.” Robert Parker, rated 91/100 2005 Chiroubles ................................................................................... 10.49 Rated 90/100, Robert Parker 2005 Chiroubles Domaine Desmures .................................................. 10.99 The vineyards of this Cru are at the region’s highest altitude, ranging from 800 to 1,900 feet. Poor, unremitting granite soils result in low yields, but with good concentration. 2005 Fleurie Domaine des Quatre Vents ............................................. 14.99 Robert Parker, rated the 2003 91-92 points. 2005 Julienas .......................................................................................... 9.99 The wine develops good tannic structure; it is full, rich and sturdy, with fruity and floral aromas of berries, violets and peonies. The lovely charm of Julienas lies in its fruity fragrance and stylish finesse. Robert Parker, rated the 2003 91-93 points. 2005 Julienas La Trinquee ................................................................... 10.99 The Wine Advocate awarded the 2003 91-93 points. This hugely concentrated, boisterously expressive, immensely rich Julienas is always a winner. 2005 Morgon ....................................................................................... 10.49 Rated 91/100, Robert Parker 2005 Morgon Domaine de Montchavy ................................................ 10.99 “…outstanding purity and density of fruit as well as length.” Robert Parker, rated 92/100 2005 Morgan Jean Descombes ............................................................. 11.99 Georges Duboeuf’s Signature Cru release. 2005 Moulin-A-Vent Fut de Chene...................................................... 14.99 Moulin-A-Vent is a “Cru du Beaujolais” that takes its name not from a village but from a windmill one that was built high on a hill in the 15th century and is a local landmark today (listed as an historic monument). 2005 Moulin-A-Vent Domaine de la Tour de Bief .............................. 13.99 Robert Parker rated the 2003 89-90 points. 2005 Moulin-A-Vent Domaine Rosiers ................................................ 13.99 In 2002, this easy wine scored 92 points from the Wine Advocate. 2005 Moulin-A-Vent Domaine de Carquelin....................................... 15.99 Robert Parker rated the 2003 91-93 points. 2005 Regnie Domaine des Buyats .......................................................... 9.99 Elevated to the Cru status in December 1988, Regnie is the youngest “Cru du Beaujolais”. The grapes grow in soils dominated by pink granite and rich in potassium feldspar, the latter imparting special aromas. 2005 Saint Amour ................................................................................ 11.99 Robert Parker rated the 2005 89-90 points.

The 2005’s are Stunning! “The tasting I conducted in Marcel Lapierre’s courtyard was one of the great experiences of my life. The Gang of Four, composed of Marcel Lapierre, Jean Foillard, Guy Breton (“Max”), and Jean-Paul Thevenet, are capable of producing superb, eye-popping Beaujolais. Readers with a propensity to believe that Beaujolais is not serious wine will find their preconceived notions shattered if they take the trouble to taste one of these Morgons…These Morgons are delicious young, and can age remarkably well, as evidenced by a recently tasted 1985 from Marcel Lapierre. It is awesomely rich, full-flavored, extremely complex, and has evolved better than many of the Burgundies from the Côte d’Or…The art for Lapierre and the other three members of the Gang of Four is to respect the fruit. Unlike the vast majority of their neighbors in the Beaujolais, the Gang of Four harvest moderate yields by hand, use little sulphur, if any, almost never chaptalise, and have never acidified. Furthermore, these wines are neither fined nor filtered…this philosophy can lead to some of the finest Beaujolais ever crafted.” Robert Parker Domaine Marcel Lapierre Domaine Thevenet Morgon Morgon 2005 Beaujolais Morgon Vieilles Vignes 2005 Beaujolais Morgon 300 cases imported 75 year old vines 19 $ 99 per bottle MARCEL LAPIERRE, PROPRIETOR Domaine Guy Breton ANNICK THEVENET, PROPRIETOR per bottle Morgon 2005 Beaujolais Morgon Cote du Py 2005 Beaujolais Morgon Vine age up to 90 years old. 300 cases produced.

Obviously I bring it up here because of Château Thivin. Class is the first word that came to mind when I began writing this. Class means there is some style. There is restraint. It cannot be vulgar and showy. There can be no cheap thrill, even if the wine is inexpensive, if you know what I mean. One writer described his favorite Beaujolais as having a sledgehammer like feel on the palate. Fine, but I think we all know that sledgehammers have impact, but no class. Chateau Thivin’s wine has class. It is our classiest Beaujolais. Ravishing, fresh gamay aroma and flavor, beautiful not in the Penthouse style, no, think instead of per bottle Lauren Bacall in her first couple of films, with a freshness that almost crackles.” Kermit Lynch 1699 $ [email protected] • www.brownderby.com | PG. * The V in e ya r d , Sep t em b er / O ct o b e r , 2 0 0 6 BIG Petrus 2001 Petrus ......................................... 3.0 liter 3999.99 2001 Petrus ....................................... 6.0 liter 7999.99 “…candidate for one of the wines of the vintage.” BOTTLES Robert Parker, rated 95+/100 2002 Petrus............................ 3.0 liter 3499.99 2002 Petrus ........................ 6.0 liter 6999.99 “…strong effort for this vintage.” Robert Parker, rated 90/100 Take it to the Extreme! 3.0 liters, 5.0 liters, 6.0 liters, 9.0 liters, 12.0 liters & 18.0 liters P G. * | Phone 417-883-4066• FAX 417-881-0036 • 1-800-491-3438 T he Vine y a rd , S e ptember/Oc tober, 2006 1999 Altesino Brunello Di Montalcino Riserva ....................... 3.0 liter 2000 Antinori Guado Al Tasso................................................. 3.0 liter 1999 Antinori Marchese Antinori Chianti Riserva................... 3.0 liter 1994 Beaulieu Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 6 ............................ 3.0 liter 1996 Beaulieu Cabernet Sauvignon Clone 6 ............................ 3.0 liter 1995 Beaulieu Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve ................ 3.0 liter 1987 Beaulieu Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve ................ 3.0 liter 2001 Beringer Cabernet Sauvignon Private Reserve ................ 3.0 liter 2003 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection ............... 3.0 liter 2002 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon Special Selection ............... 3.0 liter 2003 Chapoutier Chateauneuf du Pape Barberac .................... 3.0 liter 2001 Chapoutier Chateauneuf du Pape Barberac .................... 3.0 liter 2000 Chapoutier Chateauneuf du Pape Barberac .................... 3.0 liter 1995 Chapoutier Chateauneuf du Pape Barberac .................... 3.0 liter 2001 Chapoutier Chateauneuf du Pape Croix du Bois ............ 3.0 liter 2000 Chapoutier Chateauneuf du Pape Croix du Bois ............ 3.0 liter 1998 Chapoutier Chateauneuf du Pape Croix du Bois ............ 3.0 liter 2003 Chapoutier St. Joseph les Granits Blanc ......................... 3.0 liter 1995 Chapoutier St. Joseph les Granits Blanc ......................... 3.0 liter 1995 Chapoutier St. Joseph les Granits .................................. 3.0 liter 2003 Ch.

They must be tasted to be believed!” Robert Parker “Lustau stands at the very apex of the Sherry world.” Decanter Magazine “…as different from standard Sherries as chalk from cheese.” Clive Coates The House of Emilio Lustau, founded in 1896, is one of the largest independent, family-owned producers in Jerez today. In addition to their highlyacclaimed “Reserva Range” of typical sherries, they currently offer, in extremely limited quantities, ten “Almacenista” wines. These are carefully selected and drawn from small stocks of authentic, pure, unblended and completely dry, classical Sherries matured by the “Almacenistas” of Jerez and its surroundings, in southern Spain. As well Lustau is quite proud to offer their very rare “Landed Age” Sherries. Quantities are extremely limited in all cases. Almacenista Sherries “Over the last decade, Lustau has become noted for a number of specialty sherries, including the Almacensitas (meaning storekeeper or stockholder, pronounced al-math-en-eesta) - great old Sherries that Lustau buys from stocks produced and own by private individuals, bottled in very small quantities. There are about 54 Almacenistas in the Sherry district, acting as stockholders, some of which have their own vineyards. They all mature stocks of exceptionally high-quality old sherries. Whenever a shipper needs to improve a blend of Oloroso or Fino, he may obtain a butt or two from an Almacenista. The name of the Almacenistas never appeared on a bottle of Sherry until recently when the House of Lustau (itself an Almacenista until 1950) decided to release a select range of these fine, old unblended Sherries, which they purchased from various Almacenistas. A Designation such as 1/50 appears on the label and indicates that the bottling is from a Solera consisting of only 50 butts, with the smaller the number of butts the rarer the wine.” The Underground Wine Journal Jose Luis Gonzales Obregon Amontillado Del Puerto 1/10 .................................................................. 34.99 18.5% alcohol. Absolutely exceptional. Extremely complex and elaborately aromatic; unmistakably a very old (more than 50 years) wine clearly “flor” influenced and tangy.

The Durup family, wine growers for generation after generation, have cultivated the vines of Chablis for centuries. As the proprietor of the largest domain in Burgundy (about 170 hectares of vineyards of which 35 hectares are Chablis Premier Cru), Jean Durup is the top producer of Chablis in France today. 2005 Petit Chablis ...................................................................... 18.99 2005 Chablis Vieilles Vignes ...................................................... 22.99 Literal translation means “little Chablis,” but there is nothing little about this wine. 100% Chardonnay produced from Appellation Controlee vineyards, this wine is an excellent white burgundy. Crisp flavors with layers of apple and melon, this wine goes well with all foods or as an aperitif. Clean, pure and nicely ripe, with a grass, mineral honey and pear character. Medium bodied Chardonnay of surprising acid-intensity. Has an attractive bouquet and lasts long on the palate. Vines were planted in 1905, 1926 and 1942. 2005 Chablis Premier Cru Monteé de Tonnerre........................ 29.99 Offers that distinctive and unique Chablis-like mineral and wet earth character mingled with magnificently rich, ripe tropical flavors.

T he Vine y a rd , S e ptember/Oc tober, 2006 2004 Meursault Arriving Soon! HOSPICES DE BEAUNE AT EXTRAORDINARY PRICES! EXQUISITE MEURSAULTS FROM THE GLORIOUS 2004 VINTAGE On November 21st, in the village of Beaune, France, the 2004 Auction of the Hospices de Beaune was held. It represented the first time in the last several years that wines actually decreased in price. Most of the buyers were very sensitive to the strong Euro versus the dollar. And, thus, wines were sold at approximately 20% less than the previous year. However, the vintage is quite simply extraordinary, particularly the whites. These whites are spontaneous, straightforward, and of great purity. Their aromatic palette is highly diverse with notes of citrus, white flowers, ripe fruits and minerality, depending on soil-type and concentration. In the mouth, they have great style and elegance with good balance between sweetness and acidity which gives them their great freshness and brings out their fruit and personality. We were very impressed with these two Meursaults that we feature below. We purchased a total of 4 barrels, or 100 cases of Meursault. This seems like a lot of Meursault, but the price was right, and the wines are of extraordinary quality. We purchased two lots, Cuvee Baudot and Cuvee Humblot. Below are Pre-Arrival offering prices on these two superb Meursaults. The wines are being cared for and watched after by the Boisset family at Bouchard Aine & Fils cellars in Beaune. ROLAND MASSE, CELLAR MASTER OF THE HOSPICES DE BEAUNE 2004 Meursault 2004 Meursault Les Genevrieres Hospices de Beaune Cuvee Jehan Humblot Hospices de Beaune Cuvee Baudot Jehan Humblot wished to help the sick and donated his entire estate to the Hospital in 1660. This particular Meursault cuvee has been sold through the Auction now for over 400 years. It’s very difficult for many wines to be competitors such as that. The wine is long on the palate with a hint of how lush this wine will be when fully mature. A sweet, oakey finish with a slight hint of citrus. This wine will pair beautifully with roast chicken in a cream sauce. 4999 $ per bottle CLAUDE & JOHN CHARLES BOISSET (FATHER & SON) PROPRIETORS OF BOUCHARD AINE & FILS 9999 $ per magnum The cuvee Baudot is a rich, buttery Meursault Les Genevrieres with a long, lingering aftertaste. It is from a vineyard of the Hospices that dates back to 1880, when the Baudot family donated the property to the Hospital. $ 5499 per bottle $ 10999 per magnum [email protected] • www.brownderby.com | PG. * The V in e ya r d , Sep t em b er / O ct o b e r , 2 0 0 6 Washington State’s Finest!

Best from 2007 through 2013. 250 cases made.” Wine Spectator, rated 93/100 “The winery’s selection of its best barrels makes a fascinating wine, showing mixed Asian spices, supple fruit and beautiful fine-grained tannins.

It is a brandy unique to its kind. The basic difference is that Grappa is obtained by distilling the pomace with boiling water and the extraction of alcohol present in it through a flow of hot steam. Other brandies or Eau-de-Vie are obtained with the distillation of washing waters of the pomace. There are two distillation methods. The first, a continuous distillation, finds its application in the industrial production of grappa. The second, a discontinuous distillation, is used by small distillers. The second method used by most of the Master Grappaioli implies constant attention to the process of distillation. The grappa maker continuously corrects the trend of distillation by an ever-changing manual ability determined by the characteristic and type of pomace put in the boiler. The effect of the discontinuous system is to allow for a slow distillation and an accurate fractioning of the boiling liquid. Paolo Marolo, Jacopo Poli, and Nonino are considered Master Grappaioli. Grappa can be aged or not aged. Clear grappa is not aged. It can also be fruit infused with different flavors. Uva is very similar to grappa but is made from whole grapes and is considered an immature grape brandy.

T he Vine y a rd , S e ptember/Oc tober, 2006 Rare, Irreplaceable Vintage Madeiras Vintage Madeira is a very rare commodity, in fact extremely rare. Vintage years are declared 30 years after the vintage. The wines are kept in cask for 20 years before being bottled. They are ready to drink at this stage but are still considered young wines. Make no mistake, these elder citizens are wines of great consequence. Madeira, meaning “forested” in Portugese, is a small volcanic island 400 miles off the coast of Morocco. Vines grow perched on ledges in the fertile soil, infused with potash from a fire that raged for 7 years in the 15th century. Madeira is one of the longest lived of all wines and has retained its popularity since the 18th century, and, despite attacks by odium and phylloxera, outstanding quality wine has been produced since the 19th century. Today’s Madeira is known by the principal grape varieties used; Sercial producing the driest wine, Verdelho, Bual and Malmsey, the sweetest. MADEIRA STYLES • Sercial: Made from the Sercial grape. Often high tone, nutty, with lots of character. Dry wine. • Verdelho: Medium to dry from the Verdelho grape. Smoky complexity with tang of acidity. • Bual: Dark medium-rich, rasiny made from the Bual grape. Retains acidity with age. • Malmsey: From the Malvasia Candida and Malvasia Babos grapes. Very sweet. Big levels of acidity. Gains richness with age. Barbeito It is ironic that among major producers of Madeira, the youngest firm has the most impressive stock of very old wines not only on the island of Madeira, but in the world. Vinhos Barbeito was founded just 58 years ago, in 1946, by Mario Barbeito de Vasconcelos, a wealthy businessman. The firm’s incredible range of old vintages today is due to his foresight, since in the 1940’s and 1950’s Bareito de Vasconcelos went around the island buying up large quantities of privately owned wine, some of it dating back to the 18th century. These old wines became the foundation for one of the world’s most unique wine libraries. 1910 Boal .........................................349.99 1912 Boal .........................................349.99 1953 Boal .........................................299.99 1957 Boal .........................................199.99 1960 Boal .........................................199.99 1948 Malvasia...................................349.99 1954 Malvasia...................................299.99 1962 Malvasia...................................199.99 1910 Sercial ......................................349.99 1951 Sercial ......................................199.99 1926 Verdelho ..................................299.99 1929 Verdelho ..................................299.99 Broadbent 1940 Sercial ......................................599.99 1954 Verdelho ..................................399.99 1964 Bual .........................................369.99 1978 Bual .........................................219.99 1978 Terrantez .................................289.99 Blandys The Blandys are unique in being the only family of all the original founders of the Madeira wine trade to still own and manage their own original wine company; nearly 2 centuries of fine wine production, 1811 - 2003. 1968 Verdelho ..................................169.99 1920 Bual .........................................569.99 1948 Bual .........................................299.99 1960 Bual .........................................229.99 1964 Bual .........................................179.99 1968 Bual .........................................169.99 1971 Bual .........................................139.99 1966 Sercial ......................................149.99 Leacock John Leacock sailed to Madeira from the United Kingdom (after the death of his father) in 1741 and at the age of 15 became the youngest apprentice at the firm of Madeira merchants, Catanach and Murdoch staying until his contract expired on 11 March 1749. During his apprenticeship he had been in constant contact with an old school friend, John Patient, residing at that time in Charles Town, Sout Carolina who suggested that they themselves should commence trading. Leacock agreed and this marks the birth of the now world famous company. 1966 Bual .........................................199.99 1952 Verdelho ..................................249.99 Cossart Cossart Gordon & Co. was established in 1745 and is the oldest company in the Madeira Wine trade. Francis Newton, a young Scot, sailed from Gravesend in Britain and arrived in Madeira on September 12th 1745 founding the company. He was joined by his younger brother Thomas from 1758 to 1763 and then by another Scot, Thomas Gordon of Balmaghie also in 1758. Thomas Murdoch joined the firm in 1791 that came to be called Newton, Gordon, Murcoch & Co. By 1850 the firm was said to be shipping “half the growth of the island” and Newton’s contacts in America through his brother Andrew (who left Scotland for Virginia) were proving to be highly successful and the company acquired an unequalled reputation as suppliers of fine Madeiras. To this day, Cossart Gordon Madeiras are considered the very finest available. 1963 Bual .........................................199.99 1950 Sercial ......................................249.99 D’Oliveira D’Oliveira is one of the greatest of the classic Madeira shippers, and one of the few to survive from the pre-phylloxera era. Founded in 1820, and today housed in cellars that date from 1619, this small jewel of a company is still owned by the same family, its vineyards holdings built up over time through a series of marriages with other wine-producing families. But what is really extraordinary is that D’Olivera has held on to many of its most famous vintages, creating a unique, and irreplaceable, stock of old wines. And remarkably they are all D’Oliveira wines, not purchased from other shippers or growers. 1908 Boal .........................................499.99 1922 Boal .........................................399.99 1968 Boal .........................................179.99 1907 Malvasia...................................599.99 1937 Sercial ......................................349.99 1912 Verdelho ..................................499.99 1977 Terrantez .................................149.99 [email protected] • www.brownderby.com | PG. * The V in e ya r d , Sep t em b er / O ct o b e r , 2 0 0 6 A Cornucopia of NEW A 2005 Black Bart’s Bride Stagecoach Vyd (Napa Valley, California)........................ 49.99 A proprietary blend of Marsanne, Viognier and Chardonnay that offers a voluptuous mouth feel and an incredibly long finish.

May be the best ever from this property! 2003 Concha y Toro “Don Melchor” Cabernet Sauvignon (Chile)........................ 42.99 The latest release from this popular Chilean producer is just in stock! Previous vintages have been consistently rated in the mid-90’s by the Wine Spectator, and it appears that the 2003 has the stuffing to join their ranks! 2004 Didier Dagueneau Pouilly Fume Pur Sang (Loire Valley, France) ................ 69.99 2004 Didier Dagueneau Pouilly Fume Silex (Loire Valley, France) ....................... 89.99 2004 Didier Dagueneau Pouilly Fume En Chailloux (Loire Valley, France) .......... 54.99 Didier Dagueneau used to be known as the “wild man of Pouilly”, not only for his hirsute appearance (long curly hair and a dramatic beard) but also for his ideas. Now he is recognized as the best producer in the appellation. He crusades to redeem the reputation of Pouilly Fumé by slashing yields in half and tilling his vineyards with horses instead of using a tractor. The secret of this perfectionist’s success lies in his scrupulous attention to detail at every stage of the winemaking process, from vineyard management (biodynamic since 1993) to the cellar, where work proceeds in textbook fashion. 2004 Domaine Tempier Bandol Classique (Provence, France) ............................... 34.99 2004 Domaine Tempier La Migoua (Provence, France) ......................................... 49.99 2004 Domaine Tempier La Tourtine (Provence, France) ....................................... 49.99 “While we were impressed with the Tempier bottlings from 2003, nothing prepared me for how good these wines are in 2004. Dark to the point of being opaque, full of those indescribable flavors of Tempier like garrigue, plum, boysenberry and leather, already complex yet smooth, it’s difficult for me to think of a more exciting example of a red wine from France.” Kermit Lynch, importer 2004 Domaine du Veau d’or Crozes Hermitage (Rhone Valley, France) ................ 19.99 This tiny Domaine of 12.5 acres is located in the Northern Rhone. Only the Syrah grape variety is used in this appellation. The vinification is made both wooden vats and stainless steel tanks. Temperature controlled fermentation lasts twenty days maximizing the extraction of color, richness and flavor. The wine is then aged in small oak barrels for eighteen months before bottling. The resulting wine has a deep violet attractive color with an elegant floral bouquet. It is at its best when served with meat and cheese. 2003 Luce Della Vita Lucente (Tuscany, Italy) ....................................................... 24.99 “Big, rich aromas of crushed blackberries, licorice and minerals with just a hint of lemongrass. Full-bodied with luscious tannins and a long, smoky tar and berry finish. A full-throttle wine. This is really excellent for the money. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon.” Wine Spectator, rated 90/100 2005 Ken Wright Pinot Blanc (Oregon) ................................................................. 19.99 “Rarely does Pinot Blanc generate much excitement in the U.S., but this fragrant, beguiling mix of pears, apples and white peaches, laced with floral scents and finished with leesy creaminess, is a gem. Excellent concentration and length, along with some noticeable residual sugar—just right for spicy Asian food or pork loin with fruit sauce. Editor’s Choice.” This is a quote by the Wine Enthusiast regarding the 2004. The 2005 is right there with it. 2004 Paul Jacqueson 1er Cru Rully La Pucelle (Burgundy, France) ...................... 29.99 Henri & Paul Jacqueson are legends. Revue du Vin de France refers to them as a “cult” (spelled “culte”) Domaine. The wine is fermented and aged in French oak barrels, about 1/4 new each year. It is brilliant and intense, the color pale with greenish glints, the aromas featuring both tropical fruit and a surprisingly intense minerality. It is very firm, very balanced, taut with zingy acidity, rich with fruit. 2002 Robert Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve (Napa Valley, California) .... 119.99 This one isn’t exactly a brand-new release, but it is new to our inventory!

Drink now through 2013. 567 cases made.” Wine Spectator, rated 95/100 2005 Solo Rosa Rosé JEFF MORGAN, PROPRIETOR & WINEMAKER (Napa Valley, California) The SoloRosa Rosé has consistently been a great drink over the past few vintages, and the 2005 bottling may be their best yet! SoloRosa is riding the pink wave with stellar notices on TV and in the press. Featured on the CBS Early Show, June 27, SoloRosa appeared as the sole ambassador of American rosé among a group of 5 pink wines from 5 countries. CBS wine guru Josh Wesson announced appropriately, “Rosé is red hot,” and called SoloRosa his “favorite California producer.” Not one to miss the message, Josh aptly described rosé as “the perfect match with anything on your plate.” We agree! In the June issue of Forbes Life, Richard Nalley wrote, “Wine writer Jeff Morgan and partner Daniel Moore have dedicated themselves to the proposition that California can turn out gorgeous Mediterranean-style dry rosés. A vivid scarlet-colored blend of barrel-fermented Sangiovese and Merlot, this is one of the richest wines on the board, but its citrusy cherry-cassis fruitiness is lifted by a fine cut of lively acidity. Rosé for burgers? Believe it.” Then, in the July issue of Bon Appetit, Patrick Comiskey wrote, “(If) your weakness is for wines that are comparably lush, with enough sweetness to amplify the fruit flavors, (try) a domestic rosé like the 2005 SoloRosa.” $ 14 99 per bottle A perfect wine for Anytime!

He has worked in Italy, studying the finest producers in the northeast sector of that country, and stands alone in California as being able to translate the fragile yet ethereal character of Nebbiolo and Sangiovese, not to mention some brilliant stainless steel fermented aged whites, into wines of considerable class and interest.

While it has taken a couple of years to get the vines trained and farmed the way Lafon wanted, the resulting wines are now beginning to reveal the dedication to quality that has made Lafon’s name synonymous with top-flight white Burgundy. By associating himself with the Mâconnais, Dominique Lafon has brought worldwide attention to this region and he has participated in organizing an association of top Mâconnais producers to continue its promotion. Lafon could have sat back and lived off the reputation of his family’s estate, instead he has tirelessly and successfully worked at improving it as well as creating a new, high-quality domaine in the lesser-known Mâconnais.” Robert Parker “As my tasting notes clearly demonstrate, these wines possess not only the ability to improve, but to last for decades.

An expressive wine filled with plump pear and apple flavors, it is spicy, soft, and pleasing. ” Wine Advocate 2004 Mâcon Milly Clos du Four ...............................29.99 “Produced from a vineyard that is locally famous for its capacity to fully ripen fruit (Lafon owns half of it), the outstanding 2004 Mâcon-Milly Lamartine Clos du Four proudly boasts a nose of spices, minerals, and hints of dried honey. It is immensely concentrated, rich, and ample yet retains wonderful purity, focus, and a crystalline characteristic that led me to pen “Wow!” in my notebook. Armed with impressive depth of fruit, this spicy, mineral liqueur-flavored wine also sports a long, fruit-paced finish. To give readers a perspective of where this wine’s quality stands, after we had tasted it and were preparing to begin visiting the wines from his family’s world-famous Cote de Beaune estate, Dominique Lafon said, ‘It really won’t make me look good if you give the Clos du Four a better score than my Meursault.’” Wine Advocate 2004 Mâcon Chardonnay Clos du la Crochette ........27.99 “The 2004 Mâcon-Chardonnay Clos de la Crochette explodes from the glass with multitudes of ripe yellow plums and white peaches. A deliciously creamy, soft wine, it coats the taster’s palate with its ample layers of yellow fruits. Drink this decadent effort over the next 2-3 years.” Wine Advocate JEAN THEVENET, OWNER & WINEMAKER Jean Thevenet, who is best known for his Domaine de la Bongran, is also the owner and winemaker of the Domaine Emilian Gillet. 2002 Macon Viré-Clessé ............................ 19.99 “Jean Thevenet produced an excellent 2002 MaconVillages (Domaine Emilian Gillet). Loads of rocks, apples, spices, and linden can be found in its boisterous aromatics. Lush, rich, and light to medium-bodied, its flavor profile is dominated by honeyed minerals. This spicy, well-balanced wine should be drunk over the next 3-4 years.” Wine Advocate “Highly perfumed, elegant, pure, fresh and subtly spicy aromas lead to bigger, rounder and notably rich flavors that offer impressive density and a mouth coating texture and a palate staining finish. This is full bodied with a glycerol sweetness to it yet the explosive finish is completely dry. This is an extremely impressive effort.” Burghound “Spiced apple and pear on the nose. Richer, riper and fatter than the 2001, with a silky texture and hints of exotic fruits. This big boy will be showy early on…” Steve Tanzer [email protected] • www.brownderby.com | PG. * The V in e ya r d , Sep t em b er / O ct o b e r , 2 0 0 6 MAGN Australia 2002 d’Arenberg The Dead Arm ...................... 249.99 1993 Virgin Hills...........................................

In less than two decades, Burt & Ed created a cult status winery of international acclaim. Together they set a new standard for Pinot Noir winemaking in the United States, aligning Sonoma County’s Russian River Valley in the firmament of the best winegrowing regions of the world. Today John and Kathe Dyson, who purchased the winery from Burt and Ed in 1998, carry on the passion for Pinot Noir winemaking without compromise. 2000 Chardonnay Ferrington-Flax Vyds ....... 49.99 2002 Chardonnay Hawk Hill Vyd ................ 59.99 2000 Chardonnay Hawk Hill Vyd ................ 64.99 2001 Chardonnay Heintz Vyd .............. mag. 119.99 2000 Chardonnay Heintz Vyd ...................... 59.99 2004 Chardonnay Russian River Valley ........ 49.99 2004 Chardonnay Russian River Valley . mag. 99.99 2001 Chardonnay Russian River Valley ........ 49.99 2000 Chardonnay Russian River Valley ........ 49.99 2001 Gewurztraminer Late Harvest ...... half 49.99 2003 Pinot Noir Bucher Vyd ........................ 79.99 2004 Pinot Noir Central Coast ..................... 44.99 2003 Pinot Noir Central Coast ..................... 44.99 2002 Pinot Noir Central Coast ..................... 49.99 2001 Pinot Noir Central Coast ..................... 44.99 2003 Pinot Noir Ferrington Vyd ................... 89.99 2000 Pinot Noir Ferrington Vyd ................... 84.99 2000 Pinot Noir Hirsch Vyd ......................... 89.99 2001 Pinot Noir Mendocino ......................... 54.99 2003 Pinot Noir Peay Vyd ............................ 79.99 2004 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley .......... 64.99 2004 Pinot Noir Russian River Valley .. mag. 139.99 2004 Pinot Noir Sonoma County ................. 49.99 2004 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast .................... 59.99 2003 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast .................... 59.99 2001 Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast .................... 54.99 2001 Pinot Noir Sonoma County ................. 47.99 2001 Pinot Noir Vista Verde Vyd ................. 69.99 PG. * | Phone 417-883-4066• FAX 417-881-0036 • 1-800-491-3438 2003 Pinot Noir Weir Vyd ............................ 79.99 2000 Pinot Noir Weir Vyd ............................ 69.99 2004 Pinot Noir Westside Road Neighbors Russian River Valley .......................... 89.99 2004 Zinfandel Feeney Vineyard Russian River Valley ......................................... 64.99 2004 Zinfandel Feeney Vineyard Russian River Valley ..................................mag.139.99 2004 Zinfandel Bacigalupi Vineyard Russian River Valley ........................... 64.99 2004 Zinfandel Bacigalupi Vineyard Russian River Valley ....................mag.139.99 T he Vine y a rd , S e ptember/Oc tober, 2006 Zinfatuation Zinfandel The All-American Red “Spicy and lusty Zinfandel is America’s heritage red wine, and California winemakers are producing Zins that all the world craves… Once again, when Americans see a challenge, they go for it.

JOE PHELPS, PROPRIETOR 2004 Joseph Phelps Innisfree Due to a vintage distinctive for its rich, ripe fruit, the 2004 Innisfree Cabernet Sauvignon boasts concentrated aromas of spice and black cherry, followed by a rich, smooth texture and velvety tannins. The wine finishes with excellent structure and balance. 24 $ 99 per bottle T he Vine y a rd , S e ptember/Oc tober, 2006 Tortoise Creek (Languedoc, France) 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon .................................................................................................................. 8.99 “The big, powerful 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon Vin de Pays d’Oc displays aromas of blackberries and road tar. Somewhat backward, it reveals a black fruit-laced core that is chunky, hugely flavorful, and studded with notes of licorice. this fine value would be at its best if served with a grilled steak. Drink it over the next 3 years.” Wine Advocate 2005 Chardonnay/Viognier ................................................................................................................ 8.99 “Produced from a blend of 60% Chardonnay and 40% Viognier, the 2005 Chardonnay/Viognier Vin de Pays d’Oc bursts from the glass with aromas of apricots, white peaches, and flowers. Big, fat, and plush, this wonderful value is hugely flavorful, oily-textured, and medium-bodied. Notes of melon balls, orange blossoms, white peaches, and pears are found at its multi-dimensional ore.” Wine Advocate. Hartford (Sonoma, California) 2004 Chardonnay ............................................................................................................................. 22.99 “Part of the Jess Jackson empire of wineries, Hartford has a stellar record over the years across everything it produces, and this Chardonnay doesn’t disappoint. It’s bone dry and high in acidity, with a stony minerality that frames controlled peach, pear and mango fruit. The wine has that hard-to-define quality of elegant class. Editor’s Choice.” Wine Enthusiast, rated 92/100 Robert Karl Cellars (Columbia Valley, Washington) 2003 Claret ....................................................................................................................................... 17.99 “There’s something classy about ordering a Claret, and Spokane boutique winemaker Dr. Joe Gunselman makes this one with the classic Bordeaux blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (53%), Merlot (17%), Cabernet Franc (10%) and Malbec (10%). Inviting dusty cherries, blueberries, cranberries and spices lead into a nice dinner table companion with dark cherries, nice acidity to balance that fruit and a note of chocolate in the finish.” Wine Press Northwest Tamarack Cellars (Walla Walla, Washington) 2004 Firehouse Red.................................................................................................................. 17.99 “Loads of chocolate-laced blackberries and spices make up the aromatic and flavor profiles of the 2004 Firehouse Red, a kitchensink blend of 46% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Syrah, 15% Merlot, 11% Cabernet Franc, 2% Sangiovese, and 1% Carmenere. This fine value is highly expressive, bursting with flavor, and supple Drink it over the next 2 years.” Wine Advocate Tastes like really, really good wine. Hard to separate all the flavors. Which varietal is lending which notes? Who knows? Who cares? Rounded, lush, layered and lovely, the ultimate food wine, paring well with everything from pasta and pizza to grilled meat and roasted chicken. Seattle Times “Pick of the Week” on February 22, 2006, “A unique red blend - half cab, the rest a mix of Syrah, Merlot, Cab. Franc, Sangiovese and Carmenere. Lush, fruity and loaded with berries, cherries, cassis, coffee, chocolate, vanilla bean and cinnamon.” Bodegas Escorihuela (Argentina) 2004 Cruz Alta Malbec Reserve ............................................................................................... 14.99 A blend from three different vineyards; Agrelo (14 years old), La Consulta (26 years old) and Vistalba (51 years old.) Aged in 50% American and 50% French Barrels. This wine is made by blending Malbec from the three best growing areas in the Mendoza province. In these areas, the grapes develop sweet tannins, intense fruit and good acidity/sugar balance, combining the characteristics of each area. Deep red purple color. Rich black fruit and red plum aromas. Smooth and concentrated tannins in the mouth. Long and firm finish. Copain (Sonoma, California) 2005 Pinot Noir Saisons des Vins L’Autumn ................................................................................... 19.99 2005 Syrah Saisons des Vins L’Hiver ............................................................................................... 17.99 2004 Syrah Saisons des Vins L’Hiver ............................................................................................... 18.99 “The 2004 Saisons des Vins Syrah l’Hiver is Wells Guthrie’s California version of a Crozes-Hermitage. A fruity, soft Syrah meant for early consumption, it offers up spicy notes of tapenade, black raspberries, and cherries. This medium-bodied, impressively pure effort would be a brilliant choice for restaurants looking for food-friendly Syrahs to drink over the next 3- years. It’s hard not to enjoy a visit with Wells Guthrie given his enthusiasm and passion for accessing top-notch vineyards and producing high quality wines. His impressive resume includes positions with Michel Chapoutier and Gerard Chave as well as a short stint as a journalist for The Wine Spectator. Guthrie is one of the Rhone Ranger mavericks who utilizes considerable stems in his winemaking as well as a variety of barrels, ranging from small casks to the large, 600-liter demi-muids. Such Old World winemaking techniques as minimal intervention, natural yeast fermentations, and no fining or filtration has resulted in thrilling wines of undeniable character and personality.” Robert Parker, rated 90/100 Dunham (Walla Walla, Washington) 2004 Three Legged Red.................................................................................................................... 15.99 Other wines rounding out the Dunham Cellars palette are “Shirley Mays” and “Three Legged Red.” Shirley Mays is a limited production white wine dedicated to Eric’s grandmother, who passed away in 1983 from breast cancer. A portion of the proceeds from the sale of this wine are donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. Three Legged Red is Dunham’s red table wine, named in honor of Eric’s companion, Port. Port’s photo graces every label, and his touching story of injury and rescue is detailed as well. Dunham Cellars is dedicated to crafting wines that are age-worthy yet approachable.

So, if there’s a way for all of us to buy wines from these very same vineyards at, say, a third of the price, we want to know of each year’s crop to bottle and sell under the Chateau name. The best of the rest is marketed under a second label at a much lower price. Some of the more familiar and widely available of these include Carruades de Lafite, Pavillon Rouge du Chateau Margaux, Les Forts de Latour, Reserve de la Comtesse, and Clos du Marquis. Each of the second-label wines comes from the very same vineyard as the chateau wine, is made by the same people in the same cellar, and is aged and bottled at the chateau. Simply put, the wine sold under the second label has every legal right to be sold under the chateau name.

Lafite Rothschild mag. 2002 Leoville Las Cases “A sensational effort from Jean-Hubert Delon, the 2002 Léoville-Las-Cases (a blend of 66.7% Cabernet Sauvignon, 14.5% Merlot, 13.9% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot) possesses the highest natural alcohol of any vintage produced at Las-Cases (A whopping 13.5%, compared to 2000’s 12.9%, 1982’s 12.8%, and 1990’s 13.2%). Yields were a low 27 hectoliters per hectare. Approximately 43% of the production made it into the 2002. The wine has tremendously high measurements of extract and phenolics. The color is nearly black/purple, and the wine looks like syrup of Léoville-Las-Cases. Dense, concentrated, broodingly backward as well as tannic, but oh, so promising and intense, the 2002 reveals tremendous purity, great intensity, and a finish that lasts for 45 seconds. Clearly Léoville-Las-Cases has produced a wine of firstgrowth quality (what’s new?) that competes for the wine of the vintage moniker.

Under the Oriel banner, each winemaker creates a tiny quantity of a truly handmade wine that expresses the best of his or her local soil, fruit, climate and culture. Oriel volumes are miniscule because making great wine is like making great food — to make a little with the very best ingredients is possible, to make a lot is not.

California Chardonnay... “Chardonnay is, in many ways, almost too easy to produce—and sometimes it seems like the world is overflowing with mediocre examples—but creating a great Chardonnay, full of vibrant fruit, is not so simple. The most important prerequisite: a cool growing climate. Today, the best Chardonnays come from a variety of cool and mountainous areas around the state, including Carneros, Santa Barbara and Mendocino. The most exciting areas to watch right now, however, are probably the Sonoma Coast and the Russian River Valley region of Sonoma, where cutting-edge small producers are turning out a substantial number of the state’s most riveting Chardonnays.” Richard Nalley, Food & Wine 2005 Ambullneo Vineyards Chardonnay Big Paw ........... 59.99 2005 Ambullneo Vineyards Chardonnay Big Paw .. mag. 119.99 2004 Ambullneo Vineyards Chardonnay Big Paw ........... 59.99 “This is one of the most exciting wines I feel I have ever made because of its purity. By using stainless steel to avoiding barrel fermentation, we kept high acid profiles, while displaying the awesome array of fruits that exist in this noble varietal. Aromas of white peach skins, granny smith apples, pineapples, mango and pears - along with an aroma that is reminiscent of a stone garden after a spring rain - flow from the glass. On the palate these fruits are backed with a steely crispness. This wine will stand the test of time, if you can resist the temptation to drink them now.” Scott Ames, winemaker 2005 Ambullneo Chardonnay Fang Blanc .......................59.99 2005 Ambullneo Chardonnay Fang Blanc .............. mag. 199.99 2004 Beringer Chardonnay Private Reserve .....................27.99 “The 2004 Chardonnay Private Reserve is a surprisingly tightly knit Chardonnay by Beringer’s standards, with notes of lemon oil, orange blossom, apple pie, and brioche in a full-bodied style with some tropical fruit but good underlying acidity and fleshy texture. It seems that Sbragia has cut back on the oak, and the wine shows more of a steely minerality than in the past. It is still a big, relatively extroverted Chardonnay.” Robert Parker, rated 92/100 2004 DuMOL Chardonnay Russian River ......................49.99 2004 DuMOL Chardonnay Russian River ............. mag. 119.99 “A blend of fruit from the Heintz, Ritchie, and Hyde vineyards…full-throttle, honeyed, citrus-smelling wine with full body and loads of fruit, a hint of white peaches and good minerality.” Robert Parker, rated 91-94/100 2004 El Molino Chardonnay Rutherford......................... 44.99 886 cases produced “Napa Cabs can suffer from a soft earthiness, but El Molino has succeeded in producing a wine of real substance and style. It shows fine pear, apple and nut bread flavors, along with a figgy, raisiny quality, and has good enough acidity for balance. The finish is very dry. This complex wine should age well over the next five years.” Wine Enthusiast, rated 92/100 2005 Forman Chardonnay ............................................... 29.99 2004 Hartford Chardonnay Sonoma Coast...................... 22.99 The 2004 Sonoma Coast Chardonnay presents perfumed aromas of vanilla, jasmine flower and crisp green apples complemented by fresh pineapple, kiwi, peach, Pippin apple flavors. A supple and complex fruit dominated mid-palate is enhanced by this wines fine texture and a subtle minerality on the very long and delicious finish. Historical Acclaim: 2000 vintage; 92/100 Connoisseurs’ Guide, 2001 vintage: 91/100 Wine & Spirits. Sonoma-Cutrer 2004 Hestan Chardonnay Napa Valley............................ 49.99 350 cases produced. Rich, round and luscious. Notes of butterscotch, lemon oil, vanilla and pear. A classic white for the aficionado of the super-ripe style without going headlong into the syrup pit. Well balanced. “This wine unfolds to reveal layers of complex flavors, starting with a buttery hazelnut and vanilla oak flavor followed by rich fig, apricot and melon flavors that return to mocha and hazelnut on the finish.” Wine Spectator, rated 2004 Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay Russian River Ranches........................ 18.99 92/100 Russian River Ranches is a cuveé of wines crafted from several estate vineyards distinct in character. Vine Hill features the fine, sandy clay loam soil known as Gold Ridge. Shiloh and Kent vineyards bring backbone and elegance to the blend. The storied Cutrer vineyard brings noticeably tropical flavors. A mixture of clones and rootstocks matched by experience to small blocks in each vineyard assure an assemblage of flavors that result, vintage after vintage, in a legendary wine that is consistently recognized as among the finest offered in any year. 2002 Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay Les Pierres ...................................... 34.99 Crisp, clean and always Grand Cru elegant, this Les Pierres offering brings a firm and focused presentation to the nose, with an ever-evolving array of aromatic fig, toasted hazelnut and honey. The surprising aroma of a spark of struck flint and crushed granite hint at the mineral notes which add layers of depth and interest to the wine, The style is fresh, with brilliant acid balance that brings a refined counterpoint to many foods. The color is rich, and perfect in hue, clarity and brilliance.

Charlie Wagner is the winemaker for both Mer Soleil Chardonnay and a late-harvest white wine, Mer Soleil LATE. 2002 Mount Eden Chardonnay Estate ...................................................... 32.99 “Many fans, myself included, consider it California’s single best chardonnay. What’s it got? A huge amount of character, derived from the vineyard’s stony soil and high elevation. The resulting taste is thrilling: intense, dense and suffused with an unmistakable minerality. Experience reveals that it improves with upwards of a decade’s worth of aging, should you have the patience and a suitably cool storage space. Mount Eden “Estate” Chardonnay 2002 is not cheap, at $42 a bottle. But should you want to taste the best of California chardonnays, this is the wine and worth the money.” Matt Kramer, The Oregonian 2004 Newton Chardonnay Red Label ......................................................20.99 2003 Newton Unfiltered Chardonnay ......................................................49.99 “This beautiful Chardonnay is reminiscent of a top premier cru from Chassagne-Montrachet.

This bottling is a ripe, fullbodied style with a custardy texture.” Food & Wine, Insider’s Favorite 2004 Ramey Wine Cellars Chardonnay Carneros District.......................31.99 “This has an exhilarating sugar/acid balance and excellent definition.” Steve Tanzer, rated 91/100 2004 Ramey Wine Cellars Chardonnay Russian River Valley .................31.99 Three-quarters blended from the Charles Heintz Vineyard near Occidental. These 21-year-old vines are planted in pure Goldridge loam, and due to the cool location ripen three weeks later than their Carneros vineyards. ˇhere is also 12% from the small green Pastures Vineyard—36-year-old Wente in a pocket canyon up Felta Creek Road; 10% from the Kend Ritchie Vineyard; and 3% Lorenzo Vineyard, which they tried a small lot from this year. 2004 Ramey Wine Cellars Chardonnay Sonoma Coast ...........................31.99 “Suave and ripe…Offers a subtley cherry texture. Finishes bright and persistent.” Steve Tanzer, rated 90/100 2003 Robert Talbott Chardonnay Sleepy Hollow ....................................39.99 Throughout its many vintages, Talbott Sleepy Hollow Chardonnay has been acknowledged with numerous awards and accolades, including receiving one of the first rare 100 point scores from Wine Spectator in a 1996 library tasting of the 1990 vintage. This is the 20th vintage of their benchmark Talbott Chardonnay. 2004 Shafer Chardonnay Red Shoulder Ranch ........................................41.99 2004 Talley Chardonnay Rincon Vineyard ..............................................37.99 2004 Talley Chardonnay Rosemary Vineyard ..........................................39.99 2003 Walter Hansel Chardonnay Cahill Lane .........................................39.99 “…reminiscent of a premier cru Meursault.” Robert Parker, rated 91/100 2004 Williams Selyem Chardonnay Russian River ..................................49.99 2004 Williams Selyem Chardonnay Russian River ........................... mag. 99.99 The perfume of caramel apples, Asian pears, honeysuckle and tangerine zest resonate in the aromas of this blend. Rich and lush flavors of Gravenstein apples, pears, minerals, crème caramel, spice and roasted almonds linger on the palate. Pleasant acids accentuate the exotic fruit characters that become affluent and creamy in your mouth. The silky fruit concentration finishes with a mineral quality. Highly Rated Bordeaux What more can we say about Gérard Perse that has not already been said in the winepress? Reviews are unvaryingly positive, praising his unprecedented success. It is indeed rare for wine writers to agree to such an extent…No one else in Bordeaux has ever achieved such recognition in so little time. What else can we say…other than that these wines have all the hallmarks of excellence: colour, texture, strength, finesse, and complexity. They are also very much to the taste of people who like “classic” Bordeaux. One is tempted to ask the following question… Might we not be talking about “quintessiential claret”, benchmark wines epitomising everything a great Bordeaux should be? Has Gérard Perse discovered the Holy Grail - or has he simply set a new standard? GERARD PERSE Chateau Pavie 2005 Ch.

In the same year, the Domaine distilled the grape pumice and aged the resulting Marc de Bourgogne for 15 years in oak before bottling in 1998. Remarkable treasures! BERNARD NOBLET (CELLARMASTER) “Ponsot does not usually serve the Clos St. Denis before the Chapelle and when I asked about it, he simply said ‘you’ll see why.’ While I don’t quite agree that the Chapelle is superior to the fabulous Clos St. Denis, it’s remarkably close and in contrast to a number of vintages, the comparison is much closer than it usually is. For starters, this is an amazingly dense wine, both in terms of the sheer volume of fruit and the layered, opulent, almost thick flavors that are impressively concentrated, complex and loaded with mid-palate sap. It’s not quite as deep but there is plenty of balanced and integrated structure and superb length. This too is a serious old school burgundy that will live for a very long time.” Allen Meadows, Burghound, rated 92-94/100 2004 Meursault Cuvée Jehan Humblot.......... 49.99 2004 Meursault Cuvée Jehan Homblot ... mag. 99.99 2004 Meursault Les Genevrieres Cuvée Baudot .................................................. 54.99 2004 Meursault Les Genevrieres Cuvée Baudot ....................................... mag. 1099.99 T he Vine y a rd , S e ptember/Oc tober, 2006 s 2004 Denis Mortet 2005 Vintage Pre-Arrivals Bernard Morey (Expected Delivery Fall 2006) 2005 Chassagne Montrachet Les Embrazees . 49.99 2005 Chassagne Montrachet Vide Bourse ..... 59.99 2005 Puligny Montrachet La Truffiere ......... 69.99 2005 Batard Montrachet ..............................169.99 Domaine Jean Durup Chateau De Maligny (In Stock!) 2005 Petit Chablis ......................................... 18.99 2005 Chablis Vieillis Vignes .......................... 22.99 2005 Chablis Premier Cru Monteé de Tonnerre ............................................... 29.99 Domaine Henri Gouges (Expected Delivery Fall 2006) 2005 Nuits St. Georges Clos Porrets Blanc ....79.99 2005 Nuits St. Georges La Perriere Blanc ..... 99.99 Domaine Vincent Girardin (Expected Delivery Spring 2007) 2005 Batard Montrachet ..............................229.99 2005 Bienvenues Batard Montrachet ...........199.99 2005 Chassagne Montrachet Les Caillerets ....64.99 2005 Chevalier Montrachet ..........................249.99 2005 Corton Charlemagne .............................99.99 2005 Meursault Charmes du Dessus ..............64.99 2005 Meursault Les Genevrieres ....................79.99 2005 Meursault Les Perrieres .........................89.99 2005 Puligny Montrachet Champ Gain .........64.99 2005 Puligny Montrachet Les Combettes ......84.99 2005 Puligny Montrachet Les Folatieres ........79.99 2005 Puligny Montrachet Referts ..................64.99 2005 Quintessence de Corton Charlemagne 199.99 Dominique Laurent (Expected Delivery Fall 2007) 2005 Bourgogne Rouge No.1 ........................ 24.99 2005 Gevrey Chambertin Estournelles St. Jacques Vieilles Vignes ...................................... 69.99 2005 Beaune Le Clos des Mouches Vieilles Vignes ................................................... 69.99 2005 Volnay Clos des Chenes Vieilles Vignes 79.99 2005 Volnay Santenots Vieilles Vignes .......... 49.99 2005 Latricieres Chambertin Vieilles Vignes. 99.99 2005 Charmes Chambertin Vieilles Vignes ... 99.99 2005 Clos de la Roche Vieilles Vignes........... 99.99 2005 Clos Saint Denis Vieilles Vignes ........... 99.99 2005 Echezeaux Vieilles Vignes ................... 119.99 2005 Bourgogne Chardonnay ....................... 24.99 2005 Meursault Poruzots Vieilles Vignes ...... 69.99 2005 Puligny Montrachet Les Folatieres Vieilles Vignes ................................................... 79.99 Etienne Sauzet (Expected Delivery Spring 2007) 2005 Puligny Montrachet Les Truffiere ........ 89.99 2005 Puligny Montrachet Les Perrieres ........ 79.99 2005 Puligny Montrachet Les Referts ........... 79.99 2005 Puligny Montrachet Les Folatieres ....... 89.99 2005 Puligny Montrachet Les Champs Canet89.99 2005 Puligny Montrachet Les Combettes ..... 99.99 2005 Bienvenues Batard Montrachet .......... 189.99 2005 Chevalier Montrachet ......................... 219.99 2005 Montrachet ......................................... 449.99 Hospices de Beaune (Expected Delivery Fall 2007) 2005 Beaune 1er Cru Cuvee Hughes et Louis Betault .................................................. 39.99 2005 Beaune 1er Cru Cuvee Hughes et Louis Betault .......................................... mag. 79.99 2005 Beaune 1er Cru Cuvee Rousseau-Deslandes ............................. 39.99 2005 Beaune 1er Cru Cuvee Rousseau-Deslandes ..................... mag. 79.99 2005 Meursault Charmes Cuvee de Bahezre de Landay ............................................. 69.99 2005 Meursault Charmes Cuvee de Bahezre de Landay ..................................... mag. 139.99 Jean Marc Boillot (Expected Delivery Fall 2006) 2005 Puligny Montrachet La Garenne .......... 54.99 2005 Puligny Montrachet Champ Canet ...... 69.99 2005 Batard Montrachet ............................. 169.99 Jean Paul Droin (In Stock!) 2005 Chablis Tete de Cuvée .......................... 15.99 Louis Carillon (Expected Delivery Spring 2007) 2005 Puligny Montrachet Les Combettes ..... 84.99 2005 Puligny Montrachet Les Perrieres ........ 79.99 Louis Michel & Fils (Expected Delivery Fall 2006) 2005 Chablis Vaillons ................................... 34.99 2005 Chablis Vaudesir .................................. 54.99 2005 Chablis Grenouilles .............................. 59.99 2005 Chablis Les Clos ................................... 59.99 and More… ............................................................................. “My last barrel tasting with Denis was November 30th, 2005. The outside temperature was below freezing and the cellar still at 110C. As usual, Denis took a little from different barrels of the same appellation into his oversized burgundy glass which he stirred with his pipette before redistributing to each of us. The wines had been racked once after malolactic fermentation and were still on lees. Later on, in the spring of 2006, he was going to blend all the barrels of the same appellation into a stainless steel tank before bottling. For his 2004, his intention was to blend his 5 villages wines instead of having different bottlings. I was very happy about his decision. Each lieu-dits (vineyard designations) has different qualities and certainly will complete each other very nicely. We started with the Bourgogne Rouge, 80% coming from his vineyard in Daix, North of Dijon, and the remaining 20% from GevreyChambertin. This is a very full & rich wine, much more than a simple Bourgogne Rouge. Marsannay les Longerois was very elegant and refined. Fixin “Champs Pennebaut,” a first for Denis who just acquired this vineyard, showed great structure, minerality and complexity. A seductive wine. Gevrey-Chambertin, the blend of Au Vellé, En Motrot, Combe du Dessus, En Champs and En Dérée, came next with its’ new complexity of 5 different terroirs. Gevrey-Chambertin 1er cru, a blend of three first growths: Petite Chapelle, Cherbaudes and Champonnets, has the attributes of a very great wine: cherries, fatness, balance and complexity. Absolutely stunning. A hedonistic experience. Gevrey Chambertin les Champeaux 1er cru was racy and mineral. Denis remarked that the vineyard sits literally on a rock formation. Gevrey-Chambertin Lavaux St. Jacques 1er cru had a terrific nose of black currant, a silky and long finish. Clos Vougeot was very well structured and complex with a very pure and elegant nose. Chambertin was last. As Denis said, since I take care of the vineyard myself, the wine has achieved a new level of quality. During the tasting, Denis was proud and ebullient about his 2004s, and rightly so. They are just stunning. We all went to lunch “chez Guy” to warm up, and drank some of his 2002 Champeaux. Then we said goodbye. Little did I know I would never see him again. Every moment of this last tasting will live forever in my memory.

Fermented in large oak foudres adn aged 12 months in new French oak, it will be bottled with neither fiing nor filtration. Inky/purple-colored to the rim, it boasts a spectacular bouquet of blueberries, blackberries, and the region’s classic crushed stone minerality. This full-throttle yet remarkably elegant 2001 possesses tremendous intensity and texture as well as layers of flavor, but comes across as not over the top, overripe, or overly heavy.

Parker, Jr., the world’s foremost wine guru, makes 12 bold predictuions about seismic changes that will influence how we’ll shop, what we’ll buy and how much we’ll pay. Spain Will Be the Star: Look for Spain to continue to soar. Today it is emerging as a leader in wine quality and creativity, combining the finest characteristics of tradition with a modern and progressive winemaking philosophy. Spain, just coming out of a long period of cooperative winemaking that valued quantity over quality, has begun to recognize that it possesses many old-vine vineyards with almost unlimited potential. Spanish wineries recognizes that they are trapped neither by history nor by the need to maintain the status quo that currently frustrates and inhibits so many French producers. By 2015, those areas that have assumed second place behind such up-and-coming regions as Toro, Jumilla and Priorat. 1999 Telmo Rodriguez Altos de Lanzaga ....... 49.99 Rated 87/100, Wine Spectator 2001 Telmo Rodriguez Lanzaga ..................... 23.99 Rated 87/100, Robert Parker N/V Emilio Lustau Vides Palo Cortado 1/50..... 34.99 Monsant Rueda 2004 Naia ....................................................... 11.99 “…offering loads of honeysuckle, lemon zest, and orange rind characteristics in a crisp, medium-bodied, surprisingly textured yet elegant, fresh style.” Robert Parker, rated 88/100 2005 Telmo Rodriquez Basa ............................ 9.99 Sherry N/V Alvear Amontillado ................................

Everything has been done to make one of the best wines in Languedoc Roussillon, if not the best one and it is the first wine to be qualified as AOC Limoux Rouge. The wine, a brilliant and deep red with a cherry tint, is young on the nose, refined and fresh, elegantly revealing floral notes (peony, rose) together with touches of candied orange peel, caramel and cocoa. Round on the palate, with velvety tannins of great refinement and distinction, it displays a minty freshness and all the complexity of intense flavours in which liquorice and blackcurrant mingle with spicy notes of pepper and cinnamon. The ample, rich and creamy finish lingers elegantly in the mouth, brilliantly combining the delicacy of refined oak with the complexity of flavours produced by the different varieties. 2003 Domaine du Baron ‘Arques .................. 39.99 Domaine du Mas Blanc Lebanon France South Africa Some of the most unique wines in the world are the late-harvested wines from Banyuls made by the Parcé family’s Domaine du Mas Blanc. One Banyuls labeled dry is an explosively rich, full-bodied, Grenache-based wine that should be drunk with hearty fare on cool fall and winter evenings. Another, a dry red wine called Collioure, is a complex table wine, impeccably made from a blend of 40% Syrah, 40% Mourvèdre, and 20% Grenache. And then there are Parcé’s famous portlike sweet Banyuls made from very ripe Grenache. Complex, decadent, and the only wine I have found to work well with chocolate desserts, this is a spectacular wine that can age well for 20-25 years. The alcohol content averages 16%-18%. Parcé also makes a special cuvée of Vieilles Vignes (old vines) that is even more stunning. 1995 Banyuls Blanc ...................................... 14.99 1976 Banyuls Collita Old Vines ................... 54.99 2003 Banyuls Cuvée la Coume....................... 49.99 2003 Banyuls Cuvée la Coume................. half 24.99 1981 Banyuls Cuvée de la St. Martin ........... 59.99 Rated 92/100, International Wine Cellar Rated 90/100, Wine Spectator 1991 Banyuls Late Bottled ........................... 29.99 2003 Banyuls Rimage ..................................... 34.99 2003 Banyuls Rimage ............................... half 17.99 Italy Argiolas 2004 Costera IGT......................................... 14.99 Rated 91/100 Robert Parker 2004 Perdera IGT ........................................ 12.99 Spain Rated 91/100 Robert Parker “One of my favorite southern Italian wineries, Argiolas is one of the world’s top performers for high class, value-priced wines, all emerging from Sardinia…Two of the finest values in full-flavored, savory, Mediterranean reds emerge from Argiolas. The 2004 Perdera (a blend of 90% Monica, 5% Bovale Sardo, and 5% Carignan) was fermented in old oak and aged in cement prior to bottling. Deep, rich, and chewy, with loads of peppery black cherry fruit intermixed with notions of Provençal herbs, roasted meats, and earth, it is a modern version of a traditional French Côtes du Rhône. Readers looking for an Italian version of Châteauneuf du Pape should check out the 2004 Costera. Made from the Sardinian clone of Grenache called Cannonau, Carignan, and Bovale Sardo, it is a chunky, robust, meaty effort revealing scents of garrigue, kirsch liqueur, white chocolate, pepper, and spice. Full-bodied, with terrific fruit as well as loads of personality, it should be enjoyed over the next several years.” Robert Parker PG. * | Phone 417-883-4066• FAX 417-881-0036 • 1-800-491-3438 Lebanon Chateau Musar 1997 Ch.

The release of her 2006 Maison Leroy Cellar Selection Collection. “Mme. Leroy, who spares no espense to craft extraordinary Burgundies, has been on the receiving end of hateful, jealousy-inspired verbal abuse by fellow producers for years. Nevertheless, she’s stuck by her guns and is now inspiring the younger generation of Burgundians. Numerous vignerons, typically in the 20-to 40-year-old age range, regularly visit her parcels, learning from the conscientious work, and therefore improving their own wines. Mme. Leroy, who sadly lost her husband and soul-mate, Marcel this year, serves as qualitative benchmark for Burgundy, providing consumers with the finest wines that storied region is capable of producing as well as setting an example for young vignerons.” Robert Parker 2002 Maison Leroy Meursault Easily one of the best values of the bunch has got to be the 2002 Maison Leroy Meursault at $59.99 per bottle. This is a Chardonnay with a lot of character and flavor and it is drinking nicely today, although you don’t need to rush it. Whip up some crab cakes and sip a glass of this for a bit of a decadent treat. Reviever Bruce Sanderson, in the Wine Spectator, rated this one 90 points in an article from March 9th, saying: “Fine aromas of flowers, citronella and mineral. Pure and very well-balanced, this white is intense and powerful without being heavy. Long finish. Best after 2008.” per bottle $ 5999 1999 Maison Leroy Bourgogne “An impressive and nicely complex nose that is now beginning to turn to secondary with earth and subtl spice nuances that complement rich, round and sweet flavors that offer good punch and while this will be capable of additional aging, it is essentially ready now despite the still moderately firm finishing tannins.” —Allen Meadows/Burghound per bottle 2499 $ 1996 ll 2006 Maison Leroy FaArrival Mazis Chambertin “1996: An exceptional vintage that had all the assets for perfect bottle-aging. Here we are with a 10 year old Mazis, selected blind of course by Lalou Bize, and one of her very favorite grand crus. The growing conditions could not have been more favorable—cold winter, a cool and wet spring that prevented damaging frost, a perfect flowering period mid-June, followed by rather dry and hot weather, and then a warm September that allowed ideal temperatures during harvest by the end of September and beginning of October. After careful selection of the bunches to eliminate the unripe grapes, tannins and acidity blended perfectly. This is what it takes to make a great bottle of Burgundy with proper aging. 1996 can be compared to 1934 and 1959 vintages. Good deep cherry color, frangrant nose, slightly smokey, firm, with rich and seductive red berry flavor, silky tannins, great length, a powerful but harmonious finish… and overall totally per bottle addictive!” Martine Saunier, Importer $ PG. * | Phone 417-883-4066• FAX 417-881-0036 • 1-800-491-3438 29999 These wines have been stored in Leroy’s cellars until just recently, and the tastings we have had with the older wines from Maison Leroy have been wonderful, eye-opening experiences that truly provide a lot of insight into the aging potential of Burgundian wines.

The 1999 Domus, to be released this summer, is their finest effort to date…Now in its fourth vintage, and with much work on the vineyard backing it up, the wine offers profound structure and lushness. The fragrant aromas are of soy, lavender and licorice, while in the mouth, it’s pure silk. Production in 1999, due to drought conditions, was 1,400 cases.” Wine Enthusiast, rated 94/100 2004 Chardonnay ................................... 7.99 “Possibly the best value in Chardonnay I’ve encountered this year, Trumpeter’s 2004 Chardonnay roars from the glass with floral aromas.

Fermented as well as aged in equal proportions stainless steel and oak barrels (30% new), this wine, a resounding success for Trumpeter, has loads of character and a long, seamless finish.

Drink now through 2010. 3,000 cases made.” Wine Spectator, rated 94/100 Rated 95/100, Wine News “Of the three Folly Syrah releases, the 2002 is the friendliest in its youth. Beautiful hue, purple to the rim. Uplifting aromas of plum, blueberry, charred oak and minerals. A tasty, expressive wine loaded with juicy black fruit and wellintegrated tannins that power up in the finish and flex their muscle. This small-production Syrah is worth the search.” Wine News, rated 96/100 2003 1999 Floresta Apalta Estate ............... 32.99 Seña (Chile) 1995 was the first vintage of Seña, which is a blend of classic Bordeaux varieties including Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Carmenere.

During a recent trip through Bordeaux, Parker says this about the 2003 Almaviva: “…one of the great wines I tasted in Bordeaux was from Chile…the 2003 Almaviva tasted last week at Mouton (it is in the bottle and in the market) is the finest Cabernet-based wine I have ever had from Chile…pretty special stuff…” We don’t know how (or if) this brief note will translate to a numerical score, but we do know that if this wine is good enough to prompt a comment like this from a man that tastes as much great wine as Mr. Parker, it must be worth a try, at the very least. Rated 93/100, Wine Spectator “Gorgeous fruit-fig, plum, black currant—all layered with suave mocha-infused toast, mineral, loam and dark chocolate flavors. Long and very deep on the finish, with the fruit cruising effortlessly.

Seña (Sane-ya) means a distinguishing mark or personal signature in Spanish and is a symbol of the vision of the two winemaking families. 2003 Folly Syrah ..................................79.99 Almaviva is the name of both winery and wine born of the joint venture between Baron Philippe de Rothschild and Viña Concha y Toro. A truly distinctive wine, Almaviva is the only non-Bordeaux produced to be handled by the famed French negociants and marketed by them alongside grand château wines so worthy of their reputation. Their aim was to create the first Bordeaux Grand Cru Classé equivalent in Chile. With 40 hectares of Concha y Toro’s best Puerto Alto vineyards being dedicated to the task and the steady hand of Patrick Leon (winemaker at Mouton and Opus One), the results have have been nothing short of spectacular. 2002 Almaviva ..............................................................................................................59.99 Rated 93/100, Robert Parker Rated 92/100, Wine Spectator 2000 Almaviva .........................................................................................................89.99 2000 Almaviva .............................................................................................. mag. 149.99 1998 Almaviva .....................................................................................................79.99 [email protected] • www.brownderby.com | PG. * The V in e ya r d , Sep t em b er / O ct o b e r , 2 0 0 6 ADRIAN BRIDGE, WHO MANAGES THE FLADGATE PARTNERSHIP’S STABLE OF THOROUGHBREDS. 2003 VINTAGE STATELY PORTS PORT D E C L A R A T I O N The 2003 wines have great ‘traditional’ tannic structure with attractive ripe fruit flavours - classic Vintage Port.

Warre Vintage Port ................. 1199.99 Chryseia The Symington family have been producing Port since 1882 and own some of the finest Port Companies: Warre, Dow, Graham and Quinta do Vesuvivio, all specializing in Vintage Ports. Bruno Prats is a leading Bordeaux winemaker and former owner of Chateau Cos d’Estournel. He continues to produce wine in Chile. In 1998, the two families resolved to embark on a project to make a top class red wine in the Douro. Both families were convinced that the Douro was capable of producing a red wine of great distinction. 2000 Chryseia .................................................. 39.99 “Decadent style, with loads of toasty and bacony flavors, chewy tannins and full-bore cedar and cigar wrapper notes. Distinctive, but almost too hedonistic. Needs time? New wine from Bruno Prats and the Symington family.” Wine Spectator 2003 Chryseia .................................................. 44.99 “Powerful and ripe, like a dry Port, with loads of dark plum, dark cherry, dark chocolate and vanilla flavors. Intense, with plenty of tannins, but within bounds and showing an underlying sense of finesse and elegance. Just a baby now.” Wine Spectator, rated 92/100 [email protected] • www.brownderby.com | PG. * The V in e ya r d , Sep t em b er / O ct o b e r , 2 0 0 6 Arriving Soon! 2003 OPUS ONE MICHAEL SILACCI, WINEMAKER The long growing season of the 2003 vintage started under unusually warm conditions with budbreak on March 29th. Late spring rains prompted a burst of growth in the vines and led to increased focus on controlling and shaping the leaf canopy. Moderate temperatures in July and August gave way to hot weather and low humidity in Mid-September, which exerted timely stress to Opus One’s resilient, deep-rooted vines. Harvest began on September 17th with Malbec and concluded on November 2nd, the day before the start of heavy autumn rains.A moderately deep garnet, the 2003 Opus One offers aromas of blackberry, plum, hazelnut, graphite, olive oil, cocoa and dried cherries. The wine presents a soft entry with rich, flannel-like tannins supporting a sweetness and purity of balance. Showing the vibrant blackberry and black cherry fruit of Oakville, the wine also recalls the elegance of Bordeaux. Nuances of dark chocolate, black licorice and herbs linger on the finish. The 2003 Opus One is composed of 91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Cabernet Franc, 3% Petit Verdot, 2% Merlot and 1% Malbec. Component lots received an average of 32 days of skin contact during fermentation and maceration, prior to 17 months of barrel aging in new French oak. per bottle per half bottle 14999 $8499 $ -Cellar Selections- 2002 Opus One ........................................................................................................................... 149.99 2002 Opus One ..................................................................................................................... half 79.99 2000 Opus One ........................................................................................................................... 129.99 2000 Opus One .................................................................................................................... mag. 349.99 1999 Opus One .................................................................................................................... mag. 349.99 1998 Opus One .................................................................................................................... mag. 349.99 If you wish to be removed from our mailing list, please do one of the following: 1.
