1996 Chehalem Pinot Noir Ridgecrest Vineyard Rion Reserve Willamette Valley Oregon
The aromas are piercingly pungent, the flavors precisely balanced between ripe fruit and vineyard terroir -- and the total effect is scintillatingly sensual in an elegantly understated way. More Juliette Binoche than Shania Twain.
Price: $29,99

1996 Clos Fourtet St. Emilion Bordeaux France
This impressive, ivy-covered property lies opposite the main church at the entrance to St. Emilion. It used to be the site of a small fort (fourtet), and features three stories of underground cellars. The improvement at Clos Fourtet in the last decade is remarkable. Firm tannins provide the backbone and aging potential (10-15 years) for this blackberry, chocolate, and spice-flavored wine.
Price: $55,00

1996 Comte de Vogue Bonnes Mares Grand Cru Burgundy
Comte de Vogüé is one of the grandest domaines in all of Burgundy, especially since their strong comeback beginning in the late 1980s. The '96 Bonnes Mares is the consummate red Burgundy sweet dark fruit character, rich body and tannin, and a tremendous, long, elegant finish. Best to cellar until 2004 to 2015.
Price: $219,95

1996 Comte de Vogue Musigny Vieilles Vignes Grand Cru Burgundy
Comte de Vogüé's relentless pursuit of perfection is evident in this profound '96 Musigny. Vogüé's extremely low-yielding, old vines comprise nearly 80% of the entire Musigny vineyard. This wine will require patience. Musigny is one of the longest lived of all red Burgundies, and the excellent structure of this '96 will allow it to age gracefully over the next 20+ years.
Price: $349,95

1996 Delille Cellars Red Table Wine D2 Columbia Valley Washington

1996 Denis Mortet Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Burgundy France
Denis Mortet is a talented young winemaker who crafts supple, succulent wines from prime vineyard holdings. Mortet's Clos Vougeot is distinctly different from the rest of the wines in his cellar. The 1996 Clos Vougeot is built around a core of firm tannins and brisk acidity, and its richly endowed with sweet plums, black cherry, spice, and luscious new oak. Less than 200 cases were made and the entire lot was hand-bottled by Mortet himself. Peak period for enjoyment should be between 2002-2010.
Price: $259,00

1996 Dom. des Comtes Lafon Meursault Burgundy France
Dominique Lafon is the Master of Meursault (if not all of Burgundy). His steadfast dedication to quality and prime vineyard sites yield outstanding, world-class wines. Dominique's wines show true typicity, remarkable complexity, and great balance. No cellar should be without this gem.
Price: $109,95

1996 Dom. Romanee-Conti La Tāche Grand Cru Burgundy
The 1996 La Tāche is destined to be a legendary wine. In fact, this monopole (meaning the vineyard is wholly owned by DRC) wine comes as close as any in recent vintages to rivaling the quality and character of its famous sibling, Romanée-Conti. This is a super complex, rich, hedonistic wine with perfect balance and the inimitable Asian spice character that DRC is known for. The '96 La Tāche is a brilliant effort that will pay dividends for many years to come.
Price: $695,00
