2002 Pride Mountain Vineyards, Cabernet Sauvignon
Wine Advocate #157, Feb 2005, Robert Parker 92 points:
"The 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon (5,000 cases made from 100% Cabernet Sauvignon) is a supple, flamboyant, and more accessible version of the 2001 Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep ruby/purple-colored, with a classic nose of tobacco leaf, black currant, licorice, and smoke, the wine is medium to full-bodied, has a supple texture, an attractive textural mouthfeel in addition to a plush, heady finish. Drink it over the next 8-10 years."

2005 Chateau Charmail, Haut Medoc, Bordeaux, France
Wine Advocate #176, Apr 2008, Robert Parker 90 points:
"Another fabulous sleeper of the vintage, the 2005 Charmail is a blend of 45% Merlot, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, and the rest Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. There are 10,000 cases of this exquisite, sexy, deep purple-hued effort. It displays plenty of creme de cassis notes intermixed with notions of licorice, charcoal, and cedar, sweet fruit, round, ripe tannins, an endearing opulence, and a long finish. Drink it over the next decade."

2003 Altesino, Brunello di Montalcino
The 2003 Brunello di Montalcino is a pretty, supple wine with sweet red fruit and an accessible personality. The ripeness of the vintage is felt in the sweet notes of fruit and oak that linger on the finish. A finessed nicely poised effort from Altesino
