Verite La Joie 2006: To quote Robert Parker of the Wine Advcocate, "I was thrilled by the awesome quality of the Verite La Joie. Aromas and flavors of roasted espresso, grilled herbs, scorched earth, blackberries and cassis liqueur are accompanied by and unctuously-textured, full-bodied, expansive, dense, phenomenally concentrated, pure blockbuster. It should be at its finest between 2005-2020+."

Willamette Valley Founders' Reserve Pinot Noir - An extremely concentrated Pinot that is still soft, supple, and delicate with black cherry and berry fruit, mocha, and distinctive Oregon forest-floor earthiness. The wine is drinking beautifully now and should develop complexity in the bottle for the next five to ten years.

Mount Veeder Cabernet Sauvignon - With consistent ratings in the 90s, this lush Cabernet is filled with mountain character to create a powerful and complex wine with fine tannins and the potential to age. Vibrant layers of dark berry, cassis, mocha, and bay leaf form a well-balanced structure of flavor, finishing with sweet vanilla notes.
