2005 Art Series Cabernet Sauvignon (4.5* $59 $654.50/case) Nose on the Cabernet was particularly delightful. Succulent, lush and elegantly refined.

2004 Prelude Vineyards Cabernet Merlot (4* $28.50 $313.50/case) Not quite as impressed, but that's probably as much about my reaction to the blend as the embarrassment of riches that preceded it.

Ordering? Five Art Series (current vintage of the Riesling is the ’09, but I’ve got the ’08 in stock) plus the Siblings SSB. Three bottles of the Sauvignon Blanc if the funds don’t stretch to two of the Chardonnay. ($460 or $519).
