Rare Verticals from California

This week we continue mining a rich vein of collectible California wines and offer verticals of Dominus, Mondavi Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve, Phelps Insignia, and Turley, to name but a few of the highly sought after names in the list below. Also not to be missed is a stunning range of superlative white Burgundies, from many of the greatest names in Chardonnay over the past decade. All wines are now in stock, many in extremely limited quantities. Be quick to enjoy the full selection.

Highlights include:

2005 Colgin - Cariad (WA 96) - “There are 900 cases of the 2005 Cariad, the first vintage that Allison Tauziet worked at Colgin...notes of subtle menthol intermixed with blueberry, black currant, cedar, spice box, a hint of chocolate, and scorched earth. Very complex aromatics are followed by an equally compelling wine in the mouth. Full-bodied, with beautiful integration of acidity, tannin, wood, and alcohol, this is a beauty that is already drinking well but can last 20-25 more years.” - Robert Parker, The Wine Advocate

1999 Mondavi, Robert - Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve (WS 94) - “An enormously complex and sophisticated wine that combines great flavors with uncommon finesse. Dark, sleek, rich and polished, with a delicious core of concentrated cola, currant, plum and blackberry. Tremendous finish. Tasted twice, with consistent note....” - James Laube, Wine Spectator

1982 Silver Oak - Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley (WS 96) - “Deep ruby colored, full-bodied and full of ripe, clean cassis and mint flavors, of great depth, elegance and finesse, this is one of the greatest Silver Oak wines we've ever tasted.” - Wine Spectator

2002 Boillot, Henri - Chevalier-Montrachet (BH 95) - “Don't miss: Radiant white flower, citrus and limestone aromas are framed by a dollop of oak spice and lead to a refined, elegant, understated flavors combining intense minerality and marvelous detail plus remarkable depth and complexity. This is edgier and brighter than the Bâtard and just oozes class and refinement as it's constructed along the classic Chevalier lines of silk, lace and an intense stoniness rather than power and richness. A brilliant effort.” - Allen Meadows, Burghound
