Robert Hunter Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 750ml $49.99 Sonoma Valley Cabernet Sauvignon "The dense jammy fruit of this Cabernet Sauvignon is complimented by 18 months of aging in French Oak and American Oak barrels. The wine is a true expression of our little piece of the Sonoma Valley." - Winery notes "The 2004 Robert Hunter Cabernet is drinking beautifully now. Cedar and cigar smoke envelop a delicious ripe fruit core of raspberry, blueberry and black plum, culminating in an earthy finish spiced with vanilla and cola. Decant for twenty-five minutes. A lovely pairing for roasted rack of lamb. Cellar through 2014." - John Haggard, Sophie's Cellars

Derbes Pinot Noir Les Pinots 2004 750ml $49.99 Russian River Valley Pinot Noir "This wine shows intense aromatics of strawberries, fresh tobacco, herbs, and raspberries. The palate is creamy, juicy, and mineral, with a bit of roasted coffee. The wine has a great balance." - Winemaker notes "This is my highest rated pinot noir I have scored for Pinot Noir in this vintage. I recently paired this spectacular pinot noir with grilled duck breast. Decant for twenty minutes. Cellar through 2011." - John Haggard, Sophie's Cellars

Porter-Bass Chardonnay Estate 2004 750ml $49.99 Russian River Valley Chardonnay Abundant citrus and lychee fruit lead to a mouth-watering chardonnay. The sandstone terroir provides a strong mineral backbone. A long round finish suggests a graceful aging. Drink through 2011. Pair with white fish ling cod." - John Haggard, Sophie's Cellars

Davis Family Vineyards Pinot Noir 2005 750ml $49.99 Gold Medal, Sonoma County Harvest Fair Russian River Valley Pinot Noir "Rarely do I describe pinot noirs with dark fruit as having sharp fruit flavors, however the red and black fruit from this 2005 vintage exemplifies that style. With less earthy foliage backgrounds than previous vintages, the 2005 pinot noir will age gracefully over the next several years and makes a perfect food wine. Consider pairing with beef dishes such as ossa bucco and even braised lamb shank. Decant forty minutes. Cellar now through 2013." - John Haggard, Sophie's Cellars
