90 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The 2008 Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon is a glass-coating opaque purple color with aromas of wood smoke, pencil lead, scorched earth, violets, blackcurrant, and blackberry. Structured on the palate, but slightly clipped in the finish, another 2-3 years of bottle age could round it out but that is a gamble. Drink this Cabernet sooner rather than later." - Jay Miller (Dec 2010)

"The 2007 Alpha Syrah offers an attractive nose of pepper, sage, blueberry, and incense. Concentrated, nicely balanced, and with a 45-second finish, this classy Syrah will profit from 2-3 years of cellaring and offer prime drinking 2011 to 2019." - Jay Miller (Jun 2009)

94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate (2006 vintage):
"The 2006 Folly is a world class Syrah (not only because of the superb Ralph Steadman label). It is sourced from a ridiculously steep vineyard in Apalta and aged for 18 months in new French oak. Inky black in color, it reveals a super-expressive nose of toasty new oak, pepper, lavender, game, incense, and blueberry. Voluptuous on the palate but not heavy, it has gobs of sweet fruit, layers of flavor, a firm structure, and 5-7 years of aging potential. Drink this impeccably balanced, lengthy effort from 2015 to 2026." - Jay Miller (Jun 2009)
Paul Jaboulet Aine Hermitage
Paul Jaboulet Aine Hermitage "La Chapelle" 2009 (Northern Rhone, France) - [RP 97+] [ST 94-96]
Retail Price: $335.00
Artisan Wine Depot Price: $255.99
You save $79.01!

97+ Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"As I wrote last year, the 2009 Hermitage La Chapelle is easily the greatest, most profound La Chapelle since the 1990. Most of this cuvee comes from Le Meal and Les Bessards vineyards, with a touch of Les Roucoules fruit in the blend. It is an opaque purple-colored wine with enormous concentration in addition to an extraordinary bouquet of graphite, creme de cassis, blackberries, licorice, beef blood and a touch of smoked game. Boasting phenomenal intensity, a full-bodied mouthfeel and 50 years of longevity, the only thing that could possibly hold it back is that most consumers should plan on laying it away for 8-10 years." - Robert Parker (Dec 2011)
Paul Jaboulet Aine Hermitage
Paul Jaboulet Aine Hermitage "La Petite Chapelle" 2009 (Northern Rhone, France) - [RP 92] [ST 91-93]
Retail Price: $140.00
Artisan Wine Depot Price: $109.99
You save $30.01!

92 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
"The 2009 Hermitage La Petite Chapelle is better than some of the Hermitage La Chapelles made in the last days of the Jaboulet administration. Its dense purple color is accompanied by aromas of meat, cassis, blackberries and camphor. The wine is supple, luscious, sexy and ideal for drinking over the next 10-15 years.

Bodegas El Nido
Bodegas El Nido "Clio" 2008 (Jumilla, Spain) - [RP 94] [WS 92] [ST 91+]
Retail Price: $55.00
Artisan Wine Depot Price: $39.99
You save $15.01!

94 Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate:
The 2008 Clio is made up of 70% old vine Monastrell sourced from a vineyard planted in 1944 and 30% Cabernet Sauvignon from a vineyard planted in 1979. The alcoholic fermentation is in oak followed by malolactic fermentation in new barrels and aging for 24 months in new French and American oak. A glass-coating opaque purple color, it exhibits an expressive nose of pain grille, underbrush, brier, mineral, blueberry, and blackberry fruit leading to a plush, opulent wine with great density, savory flavors, and a lengthy finish. In spite of its size, it is surprisingly light on its feet and can be approached now. However, it will evolve for 3-4 years and offer prime drinking from 2014 to 2023.

"Pretty savory tones and barbecue aromas are combined here to create a bold and determined Brunello. Ripe fruit, black pepper, rum cake, black currant and blackberry preserves all appear in the background. Silky-smooth and firm, Shows a clean, sharp, bold close." —M.L.  (1/19/2012)

"This is a great, fresh, young style of wine, with figs and bitter marmalade flavors. There’s a touch of orange peel, a hint of vanilla and very ripe, delicious fruit." —R.V.  (8/1/2006)

"The 2008 Malleolus comes from older vines and spent 18 months in French oak. It gives up a promising nose of pain grille, mineral, espresso, violets, and blackberry. This is followed by a tannic, savory offering "" src="/v/vspfiles/assets/images/rating90.gif" with just enough fruit for balance. It will benefit from 2-3 years of additional cellaring to melt some of the tannins and will drink nicely through 2023." - Jay Miller (Jun 2011)
