Dr. Heidemanns-Bergweiler Riesling QbA Mosel 2007 $11 (Wine Spectator) Rich and juicy, with a vibrant structure etching the peach and nectarine notes in relief. There's a nice mouthwatering finish, with a touch of mineral. Drink now through 2017. 2,000 cases made. Alta Vista Malbec Mendoza Grande Reserve 2006 $25 (Wine Spectator) Dark and winey, but polished. There's a good beam of blackberry and black currant fruit that's reticent for now, with loam, tar and coffee-laced tannins at the fore. Should open up nicely with modest cellaring. Best from 2009 through 2014. 1,550 cases imported. Le Vieux Donjon Châteauneuf-du-Pape 2006 $64 (Wine Spectator) Slightly firm, with juniper, sage and sandalwood hints framing dark plum, currant, coffee and mineral notes. The grippy finish has a cedar note in the background, with hints of black tea and tar. A gutsy style, with fresh acidity in reserve. Best from 2009 through 2028. 4,330 cases made. The Little Penguin Pinot Grigio South Eastern Australia 2007 $7 (Wine Spectator) Light and fragrant, with pretty pear and melon fruit, lingering modestly. Drink now. 48,000 cases imported. Fairview Shiraz Paarl 2006 $15 (Wine Spectator) Ripe and fleshy, with a mix of raspberry ganache, spice cake, coffee and graphite notes backed by a juicy, lengthy finish. Still fresh too, despite its age. Drink now. 4,500 cases made.
