GAMAY |
| NW-2089. 08 J LOHR WILDFLOWER VALDIGUIE MTC Valdiguie was once widely planted in southwest France. Transplanted to California, it acquired the name Napa Gamay, likely for the fresh, fruity qualities of its young wines. Lohr is one of the few remaining producers of a varietal Valdiguie. Luckily, it’s a good one. This 08 has just-out-of-the-box freshness and positively glows with fruit and flower fragrances. One of the best of the series. Nothing else like it. 91/100. |

| NW-2126. 05 CLOS LA CHANCE SYRAH CC Connoisseurs’ Guide 91 - TWO ROSETTES: ‘Intense themes of plums and blackberries are given a big lift in sweetness by the creamy oak that appears through the length of this very deep and well-crafted opus, and, if never a Syrah of extravagant spice, it is still wonderfully juicy and rich. Full on the palate and still impeccably balanced, it shows uncommon polish for the big wine that it is, and its fine-grained finishing tannins are overlain by layers of lingering fruit. Although so mannerly as to tempt early drinking, it has the depth and reserve to grow for five or more years.’ |
