Georges Duboeuf Julienas La Trinquee
The 2008 Julienas La Trinquee represents a cuvee from several growers farming what the Duboeufs consider the best sector of Julienas. Tart, bright red fruits are tinged with pepper, making for a striking contrast with this year’s flower label Julienas. This shows admirable penetration in an exhilaratingly refreshing, long finish rendered more interesting by suggestions of herb and stone. (The structured 2008 Julienas Chateau des Capitains was still in tank when I tasted it, rather perturbed by its CO2 – which will of course dissipate – but also by its wood component.) There is only a tiny lot of flower labeled Saint Amour this year, still in tank when I tasted it, juicily ripe, if a bit simple. 90 Points Wine Advocate

Oxford Landing Sauvignon Blanc
Crisp and taut, this is appealing for its lime and yellow pepper flavors that linger on the lively finish. 86 Points Wine Spectator

Woop Woop Cabernet Sauvignon
Vivid ruby. Ripe but energetic aromas of blackberry, cherry, licorice, tobacco and herbs, complicated by cracked pepper and exotic spices; smells like a $50 Napa cabernet. Lush, pliant and sweet, with a layered, chewy texture to the flavors of red and black fruits, bitter chocolate and spices. This is really packed with fruit but there's a litheness to it as well. Finishes with fine, palate-dusting tannins and lingering sweetness. A fantastic value.
