Barnett Vineyards 2005 Rattlesnake Hill Cabernet

95 Points, Wine Enthusiast
"Rattlesnake Hill is on the estate, more than 2,000 feet up in the Mayacamas above St. Helena. Typically tannic, in the way of Spring Mountain Cabs, the '05 is a dramatically structured wine that dazzles with power. Made entirely from Cabernet Sauvignon, it shows classic varietal flavors of black currants, cherries, licorice and spices, while mostly new French oak adds the perfect facade of smoky wood. Fabulous now with decanting and over rich fare such as steak, the wine should age gracefully for at least a decade." Cellar Selection

Evans & Tate 2006 Chardonnay

90 Points, Wine Enthusiast
"This top-notch effort from Evans & Tate starts off with layers of elegant oak resembling roasted nuts and creme brulee, but backs those notes with plenty of honeyed citrus flavors. This flamboyant example of Margaret River Chardonnay should be relatively easy to find in the US, with 9,000 cases imported." Editor's Choice
