Listed in Wine Enthusiasts magazine, at #7, is 2009 Long Shadows Poet's Leap Riesling. Fresh, clean and crisp, this wine offers generous aromas of fresh citrus, star fruit, kumquat and flint with flavors of ripe melon and white peach that dance on the palate. $17.50 a bottle.

91 Points, Robert Parker: an alluring perfume of flint, spring flowers, white peach, and melon. Made in a Kabinett style (1.35 grams residual sugar), on the palate it is crisp, vibrant, intense, and impeccably balanced

A simple description of the 2007 Stag's Leap Petite Sirah would be a fruit bomb laced with a seductive darkness. Breaking it down we are talking notes of cocoa powder, raspberry and lavender. The palate follows with ripe black plum, black coffee, bittersweet chocolate and brown spice. $24.50 a bottle with a 12 bottle limit.

Expressive notes of cocoa powder, raspberry and lavender introduce this luscious and intense wine. The palate follows with ripe black plum, black coffee, and bittersweet chocolate wrapped around structured tannins with juicy, berry flavors on the finish.

I know there are many fans of the ice wine and this one is bound to go quick. The 2005 Terra Blanca “Reserve” Chenin Blanc Ice Wine has aromas of honeyed peach, melon, pear, apple, and tropical fruit. Just $17.99 a bottle. That's 50% off retail!

Aromas of honeyed peach, melon, pear, apple, and tropical fruit flow out of the glass and continue on the palate. A delicate balance of sugars and natural acids in the wine create a balanced harmony as the wine lingers on the palate.

A Washington Malbec to compete with those out of Argentina. Having a very unique hue of dark red and purple, and a thickness you could almost stick a fork in, this wine has scents of rose, huckleberries & dark boysenberry that seem to swirl together and jump out of the glass. Deep dark fruits, dried fig, tar, and spice yield way to let a certain chocolate sweetness in at just the right time. $22.50/bottle

The Rioja region of Spain produces one of the world's finest, and most long lived wines: Rioja. This wine is 80% Tempranillo, 15% Mazuelo, 5% Graciano.
Bright cherry-red color with purple hues. Complex and elegant nose with hints of ripe cherries and wildberries; spicy and memories of mineral notes integrated with oak hints. $35.50 a bottle.

92 Points, Stephen Tanzer: Complex nose offers blackcurrant, dried rose, anise and pungent fresh herbs. At once suave and firm, with deep cherry and dark berry flavors and a restrained sweetness. Solid and serious Rioja, with excellent finishing clarity.
