WE Review - Over a quarter of a century ago, this was one of the first South African Bordeaux blends. It is still one of the best, a ripely tannic, firm wine that owes a lot to the structure given by ripe grapes from mature vines. Great acidity, great black currant fruits, and great style.

The wine's high notes of cherry contrast an elegant, chanterelle-like savor, a compelling balance with cool, earthy tones that last. Its complexity will develop further in years to come, the wine enjoyable anywhere along the way with a dry-aged steak.

The nose deals smooth fruit touched up by chocolate and a whiff of mint, while the mouth is spicy and herbal but also saturated with dark berry notes and touches of the forest.

W&S review - Amplus, a blend of 70 percent cabernet sauvignon, 26 percent syrah and 4 percent carignan, amps up Santa Ema's smooth, rich style with an enchanting mix of chocolate and exotic spice aromas and sweet red cherry and muberry flavors. It would be too much if it weren't for the tannins, which gently yet firmly support the fullness of the wine and instill it with energy.

WE review - Dry Creek Vineyard keeps turning out the most drinkable, delicious Cabernets, at such a good price, and hardly anyone notices. Why? Because it’s not from Napa. This wine is soft and rich, with briary blackberry, dark chocolate, coffee and spice flavors that finish completely dry.

Parker review - The renowned 2004 Shiraz The Dead Arm, fashioned from ancient head-pruned vines, is stunning. An inky/purple color is accompanied by a glorious perfume of creosote/melted road tar, blackberry and cassis liqueur, pepper, and spice. This deep, rich, full-bodied, tannic Shiraz should be drinkable in 2-3 years, and will last for two decades or more. It is the finest Dead Arm since the 2001.

While the vintage was cool, it gave incredibly long hangtime. Dry, crisp and delicate, the wine has a silky voluptuousness that makes it irresistible, with pie-filling cherry and black raspberry flavors finished with Asian spice. New French oak adds toast and vanilla sweetness. It’s expensive, but still a bargain Bottles in Cellar: 2 WineLog ID: 30281 Name: Lost Canyon Pinot Noir Winery: Lost Canyon Region: Russian River Valley Type: Red Wine Variety: Pinot Noir Year/Vintage: 2004 Wine Enthusiast: 92 Bottle Size: 750ml When to Drink: Now Drink By: 2010 Date Logged: 07/08/2007 My Notes: Young and strong now, with a dry mouthfeel and firm acidity and tannins, this fine Pinot should develop with age.

WA Review - This wine offers an amazing display of strawberry and black cherry fruit intermixed with floral, new saddle leather, and earth notes. Aged in large wood foudres, it is a stunning example of Sangiovese that should drink well for 2-3 years, and represents an incredible value for the money.
