Alvaro Palacios "Camins" Priorat
Bright ruby. Very sexy, perfumed aromas of redcurrant, raspberry, minerals and flowers; there's a wild, aromatic character here. Quite fresh and juicy in the mouth, with good energy to the red berry, cherry and candied floral flavors. Perfumed and energetic, with silky tannins adding shape to a long, sappy finish. 90 Points Stephen Tanzer #92 on Marketview's 2012 Top 100

Atlas Peak Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvingnon
Fruit stars in this young, rich Cabernet. It's as good as young, drink-me-now Napa Cab gets, offering waves of blackberries, cherries, plums, sweet oak and spices that go on and on into long finish. The tannins are perfectly ripe, the acidity fine and brisk. 90 Points Wine Enthusiast

Bodegas Castano Solanera
A blend of 65% Monastrell, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 15% Garnacha Tintorera aged ten months in 80% French and 20% American oak, this is a custom cuvee assembled for Eric Solomon. From 100-year-old vines planted at the highest elevation owned by Bodegas Castano in Yecla, it exhibits notes of roasted herbs, road tar, beef stock, bouquet garni, kirsch and black currants. Lusty, succulent and fleshy, this medium to full-bodied red should drink well for 4-5 years 90 Points Wine Advocate

Chateau Poitevin Medoc
Alluring, with a polished structure that lets the smoldering bay, anise, steeped plum and warm paving stone notes play out. Shows latent grip and solid depth. Best from 2014 through 2022. 90 Points Wine Spectator

Finca Las Nubes Torrontes
The 2012 Torrontes comes from Valle de Cafayate in Salta from ungrafted 40-year-old vines. It has another very expressive, almost Gewurztraminer-like bouquet of passion fruit, lychee and guava that is well-defined and effervescent. The palate is supremely well-balanced with crisp acidity, vibrant citrus lemon and orange zest that combine beautifully on the tense, sherbet finish. What a beautiful, life-affirming little Torrontes! Drink now-2017. 92 Points Wine Advocate

Hecht & Bannier Cotes du Roussillon Villages Grenache Syr...
Tasted as a pre-assemblage from barrel, the Hecht & Bannier 2010 Cotes du Roussillon Villages is colorfully fruited with suggestions of black raspberry, blackberry, cassis, and blueberry, all alluringly wreathed in heliotrope and lily. Overtly chalky and smoky crushed stone and peat notes serve for counterpoint on a richly-textured, ripely-fruited yet vivacious palate, and hints of salt and dark chocolate at once add saliva-inducement, invigoration, and depth to a long finish. This impressive exemplar of vintage - not to mention Roussillon - virtues will hopefully gain in stature in the completion of its elevage and ought to be worth following for the better part of a decade. 91-92+ Points Wine Advocate
