Clos Figueres is the top wine from this new venture between Christopher Cannan of Europvin and Rene Barbier of Clos Mogador A blend of old vines Carignan and Grenache, Clos Figueras is made using microvinification in 500 liter oak casks (turned on their side with the top removed to form a small open-topped vat); regular hand pigeage and extended maceration on the skins The wine undergoes 13 months aging in a selection of new Allier oak barriques and casks (225 litre, 300 litre & 500 litre) The resulting wine is a rich mouthful of ripe berry fruit, with smooth, polished tannins and just a hint of chocolate This harmonious red marries ripe fruit and firm tannins, with blackberry, coffee and mineral notes Balanced and concentrated, but needs time to bloom Best after 2007 460 cases made -TMThe 2004 Clos Figueres, from the vineyard's older vines, is a knockout starting with its saturated purple color, intense nose of vanilla, spice box, blackberries and blueberry liqueur, and layered, concentrated flavors Full-bodied, with ripe tannins and a very long finish, this showy effort should evolve splendidly for 5-7 years and drink well for 10-15 years thereafter Wine SPANISH STILL WINE

92 Points; Robert ParkerThe 2006 Clos de los Siete is a slightly different blend with 50% Malbec, 30% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Syrah Opaque purple-colored, it has a similar expressive nose including fragrant plum, blueberry, and black cherry Ripe, sweet, and seamless, it admirably hides its tannin under all the fruit It will evolve for several years but who will have the willpower to defer gratification? It is an awesome value Clos de los Siete is a project of Michel Rolland Wine ARGENTINIAN STILL WINE

WA 91Pts - Tasting Notes - There may be no finer red wine value in Argentina than this superb blend of 48% Malbec, 28% Merlot, 12% Syrah, and 12% Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine is aged for 11 months, two-thirds in 100% new French oak and the balance in vat and bottled without fining or filtration. Opaque purple-colored, the wine coats the glass while offering up a superb bouquet of toasty oak, violets, mineral, black currant, blueberry, and black cherry. This is followed by a layered wine with gobs of ripe fruit, a plush texture, outstanding balance, and several years of aging potential (not that many buyers will be laying this down). This lengthy effort over-delivers and then some. (Special Order Item - May require an additional 3 to 5 business days. Please contact us to check availability. support@napacabs. com 800.410.6004)

Rich golden color. Lots of clove, cinnamon, and orange on the nose. This delightful and delicate Sauternes has gobs of fruit on the front end complimented by laser like acidity through the mid-palate. Very enjoyable effort even as a barrel sample. Alex Lallos.

(racked three days before my visit) Full ruby-red. Knockout nose melds black cherry, violet, licorice and brown spices; this is wild yet aristocratic in a Chambertin way. Densely packed, silky and incredibly intense, with palate- saturating flavors of... Stephen Tanzer.
