2010 Romain Duvernay Vacqueyras
Grape type: Rhone Blend
Parker called the 2010 Romain Duvernay Vacqueyras "intense and full-bodied with terrific texture, purity and length," suggesting it will benefit from a decade in a cool cellar. The Wine Advocate rating was 91-93 points -- making this far and away the top-rated under-$20 red of this magnificent vintage.

2009 Longfellow Pinot Noir Sonoma Coast
Region: California > Sonoma > Sonoma Coast
Grape type: Pinot Noir
When Craig Whitney and Mark Smith first saw Griffin's Lair ten years ago, they wondered if the risk the growers had taken on this unproven hillside didn't outweigh the potential gain. Now that not only Longfellow, but Spottswoode, Arnot-Roberts, Wind Gap and finally Kosta Browne have followed suit, no one's wondering about the Griffin's Lair 'gamble' any more. read more »
2010 Famille Brechet Lirac Moulin des Chenes
Deep purple to the edge, with trademark Cambie's dark raspberry and sweet herbes-de-Provence aromatics. Rich and dense on the attack, packed with ultra-ripe wild berry compote, polished but chewy, still marvelously bracketed by the firm backbone and bracing low pH of this monumental harvest.
Something else of note. When we first tasted this wine before bottling, Brechet's release price was slotted at $25/bottle. Since then, the euro has slipped 15% and Laurent has sharpened his pencil for WineAccess. Is there a richer, juicier, more vibrant red on the market at $15.50/bottle on cases? If you think so, give us a holler. We'll be right over. Shipping included on 6.

2010 Stolpman Vineyards Syrah Estate Grown Santa Ynez Valley
Region: California > Central Coast > Santa Ynez Valley
Grape type: Syrah/Shiraz
The 2010 Stolpman Estate Syrah is deep purple in color. The aromas are strikingly pure, with terrifically chiseled plum/red fruit polished precision. Darkly concentrated on the attack, a luscious gumbo of small red and purple fruits, sleek and supple. But more than anything, it's the finish that sets this one apart from all those 5-star 92-pointers from years past. As winemaker Sashi Moorman told us, "the tannins are both abundant and silken," perfectly bracketing the extravagant concentration of this monumental effort.
