Just arrived and it is drinking GREAT!!!
2005 Betts & Scholl Hermitage Blanc.....$53.99
Compared to $79 on Wine Spectator"Ripe and showy, but with good underlying grip to the dried papaya, creamed peach, fig, yellow apple and brioche notes. The long, juicy finish has a nice gilding of toast. Drink now through 2013. 400 cases made. –JM"
Rated 93/100 The Wine Spectator

Betts & Scholl
2006 "The Chronique" Grenache Barossa Valley...$33.99
"Firm in texture, with tremendous focus to the blackberry, cherry, anise seed and cardamom aromas and flavors. Not heavy at all, but sleek and expressive—and extra-long on the vibrant finish. Best from 2009 through 2016. 375 cases made. –HS"
Rated 93/100 The Wine Spectator
