2010 Seven of Hearts Pinot Gris
This wine has tremendous texture, a result of barrel fermentation, aging on the lees and stirring of the lees while aging. It has balanced, unctuous mouth feel and excellent ripe pear fruit. Delicious!

2009 Elk Cove Pinot Noir Willamette Valley
This wine got 91 points from the Wine Spectator. Here is their review: "This fresh red is inviting and invigorating for its juicy black currant, plum and white pepper flavors, playing with zest against polished tannins and lively acidity. Drink now through 2019. 14,000 cases made. –HS "" "

2009 Argiolas Costera Isola dei Nuraghi
This wine from the Italian island of Sardegna got 91 points from the Wine Advocate. Here is their review: "The estate’s 2009 Isola dei Nuraghi Costera flows from the glass with layers of exquisitely perfumed fruit buttressed by fine, silky tannins. There is an element of pure elegance and refinement that is hard to do justice to with words. This is another terrific red from Argiolas. Costera is a blend of 90% Cannonau (Grenache), 5% Carignan and 5% Bovale Sardo. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2014. "
