    A Robert Kacher Selection

    Domaine de la Petite Cassagne Rouge
    Rated 88 Wine Advocate #185

    The 2007 red, a blend of 47% Grenache and equal parts Carignan and Syrah, all fermented and aged in tank, is a sleeper selection. Deep ruby/purple-tinged with lots of cassis, raspberry, licorice, and forest floor, the wine exhibits excellent ripeness, a delicious, silky mid-palate, and a good finish. This is a very good bargain and worth drinking over the next two years.

    “The Robert Kacher name on a bottle of wine is as close to an endorsement of quality as one is likely to find in a complicated world of wine.” Robert M. Parker, Jr. The Wine Advocate

    Bogle Sauvignon Blanc California 2008

    Wine Spectator Rated 88

    Best Value

    Mouthwatering and intense, with grass, lemon-lime and green papaya flavors that are highlighted by a zingy acidity. This has great intensity and a silky finish.

    A great rating and review from Wine and Spirits magazine for
    Kendall Jackson “Vintner’s Reserve” Summation

    90 Points

    “This new blend from K-J focuses on Rhône varieties (viognier,roussanne, marsanne, grenache blanc) and Loire varieties (sauvignon and chenin blanc) along with some chardonnay, semillon and gewurztraminer. The biggest portion comes from Lake County (43 percent), with contributions from a range of other coastal regions. Randy Ullom blends it into a credible alternative to chardonnay, the variety that K-J made its name on. This has a rich mouthfeel and honeyed character, here appropriately tied to scents of orange rind, fresh nuts and subdued floral tones.”

    2006 Julia’s Vineyard Pinot Noir
    Rated #1 – Top 100 Wines of 2009

    Wine Enthusiast, December 2009 – Download Acclaim PDF. Julias_WE Flyer_Top 100

    93 Points/Editors Choice

    “This is the best Pinot Noir at this price on the market. Easily. It’s picture-perfect cool climate, absolutely dry and silky, with complex flavors of cherries, Mandarin orange, cola, pomegranates, licorice and cinnamon spice, made even richer by smoky oak. Just lovely, and gets even better as it breathes in the glass. Editors’ Choice.”
