David Arthur Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley Elevation 1147 2001

January 11, 2009 By colin Leave a Comment

This was a rare find, so CARPE DIEM! Incredibly big and bold, this deep, richly coloured red wine was over the top and wonderful for it. We ordered this fine, rich bottle at Delmonico Steakhouse, celebrity chef Emeril Lagasse’s restaurant in the Venetian Hotel, Las Vegas. What an outstanding pairing for a classic steak dinner! Wine Spectator gives it 96 points, accurately describing it as “a remarkably rich and expressive young wine”. Highly recommended, if you can find it!

Torbreck RunRig 2001

November 20, 2004 By colin Leave a Comment

Torbreck RunRig BottleEarning top points from both Robert Parker and Wine Spectator (99+ and 98 respectively), Torbreck RunRig 2001 is a true gem. RunRig 2001 is a deeply coloured, full-bodied shiraz with intense flavours of berry, espresso and spice and a wonderfully long finish. It is sure to please palettes that seek out the bold and the beautiful! Small Barrels recently had the pleasure of sampling this wonder at Gotham, an upscale steakhouse in Vancouver, Canada. A stellar wine!
