2006 Calera, Mt Harlan	79
After Oxford, Josh Jensen, a native Californian, traveled to France, learning French and turning his love of wine, especially Burgundies, into a professional interest. He worked two consecutive harvests in Burgundy in 1970 at Domaine de la Romanée-Conti. After a two-year search for limestone-derived soil in California, Jensen located and purchased a rugged, remote property near Mt Harlan in San Benito County, with a large limestone deposit. His fanatical commitment to traditional Burgundian methods is proven in this wine that goes from buttery oak to ripe fruit that maintains a delicate balance.
2005 El Molino, Rutherford, Napa	115
A beautiful, Meursault-like Chardonnay, the 2005 Chardonnay exhibits notes of buttered nuts, a subtle hint of caramel, honeysuckle, orange rind, and some citrus oil along with terrific acidity, medium to full body, delicacy, and nuance. It is a beauty of restraint yet richness.

2006 Navarro Vineyards, Dry Gewürztraminer, Anderson Valley	47
Small producer in California’s best area for this exciting grape. Spicy, complex wine exhibiting aromas of lychee, wild flowers and pear. Preeminent wine for matching with dishes of Asian influences and some spice. Wonderfully balanced. Pungent, medium-bodied, opulently aromatic.

2005 Peay, Pomarium, Sonoma Coast	100
Pomarium (apple orchard in Latin) harkens to the days when our hill was planted to pears and apples for dried fruit production to feed San Francisco. The 2005 Pomarium Estate is a bright, dramatic wine that wildly claims its pinosity. The majority of Pomarium is comprised of Dijon clones 667, 777 and 115 with a little of our favorite block of Calera included to provide chunky bass notes. The nose opens with lifted aromas of wild strawberry and jasmine tea. With more time in the glass deeper notes of red cherry and sandalwood fill out the bouquet. The mouth is true to the nose and carries through with bing cherries, lead, and orange peel. The Pomarium is vibrant, attractive and racy with medium weight and a clean finish.
