If you're looking for a great take on a cru-Chablis from California, then look no further.

Robert Parker 93 points:
If you're looking for a grand cru Chablis look-alike from California, this wine from the fabulous limestone soils of the James Berry Vineyard in Paso Robles has incredible chalky, crisp, stone-like notes, dazzling texture, lots of white peach, white currant, quince, and lemon oil notes, a sensational purity, and a remarkably long finish with good acidity. If there is any oak being used in this cuvee, I certainly didn't smell or taste it. Bravo to Doug Polaner, who put this special cuvee together for his company.

Great price on 90pt Pinot Noir from Domaine Serene --Free Shipping on Six Bottles or More--



2006 Domaine Serene Pinot Noir Yamhill Cuvee Willamette Valley

There has to be something special about a wine that wine critics can actually agree on. With two 90 point ratings from both Wine Spectator and Wine Advocate, the 2006 Domaine Serene Pinot Noir is one of those wines. Proving that critics can be right, Cellar Tracker has also given an average of 90.3 points from those who have tasted this Pinot. Gary's is selling this sweet wine for $31.99. On top of that, when you purchase six bottles, Gary's will throw in free shipping. All this adds up to another great deal!

Wine Spectator 90 points:
Supple, ripe and generous with its plum, blueberry and crème brûlée flavors, nicely draped with refined tannins, which persist on the focused finish. Drink now through 2014. 7,200 cases made.

Wine Advocate 90 points:
The entry level 2006 Pinot Noir Yamhill Cuvee delivers an expressive nose of rose petal, red cherry and raspberry that leaps from the glass. This leads to a velvety-textured, medium-bodied Pinot with ample sweet fruit, good depth, and a fruit-filled finish. It lacks only complexity. Drink this pleasurable wine over the next 4-5 years. Domaine Serene has turned out its most successful set of Pinot Noirs in several vintages.

RP 96 and ST 94 2006 Dominus Estate Red Wine from Napa Valley



2006 Dominus Napa Valley Proprietary Red PreSale

It's June, and that means Summer is just around the corner. That means sun and barbecues. This Meritage is perfectly suited for times like those. With a 96 point rating from Robert Parker and a 94 point rating from Stephen Tanzer, it's a surefire winner for that dinner party. Arrival is expected in July, just in time for the best days of Summer.

Robert Parker 96 points:

"There are 6,500 cases of the superb 2006 Dominus (91% Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Cabernet Franc, and 3% Petit Verdot). Its dark plum/purple color is accompanied by aromas and flavors of truffles, forest floor, black cherries, black currants, and Asian spices. One of the finest wines of the vintage, it is complete, full-bodied, and seamlessly built with beautiful ripe tannins, low acidity, and a luscious, layered mouthfeel. The aromatics are even more evolved and complex than the 2005's. The 2006 should drink well for 20-25 years."

Stephen Tanzer 94 points:
Bright red-ruby. Lovely floral lift contributes precision to the aromas of raspberry, rose petal and licorice. Sweet, high-pitched and sharply delineated; velvety but not thick. There's a juicy quality to the ripe red fruit, mineral and graphite flavors, not to mention a firm underlying spine, that promises a long and positive evolution in bottle. Quite young but not austere, finishing with building tannins and lovely lift. The lingering perfume of red fruits, pepper, flowers and licorice is unusually complex. A really superb 2006, seemingly every bit as good as the sensational 2005.
