Produced from yields of less than 30 hectoliters/hectare, the dark ruby-colored Volnay Les Caillerets offers provocative aromas of minerals, violets, blackberries and roasting spices. Highly extracted with intense flavors suggestive of cherries, currants and ripe cassis, this is a thick, oily-textured, full-bodied Burgundy. Built to last, it will be at its best between 1999-2009.As always, ratings with a score in parentheses indicate the wine was tasted from cask, not bottle.Importer: Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant, Berkeley, CA; tel (510) 524-1524.
