Dear Wine Lover, “I can’t say enough good things about Behrens and Hitchcock. This is the type of winery operation that gives hope to aspiring home winemakers who want to make it in the big time. They have followed their dreams, unearthed top vineyards that were available to everybody, and are making non-interventionalistic wines of extraordinary personality and character.” -Robert Parker 2002 Behrens and Hitchcock Les Chats du Monde $64.99 Robert Parker 93 points!!! The 2002 Les Chats du Monde is a blend of 48% Syrah, 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 14% Merlot that tips the scales at 15.6%. Indigenous yeast fermentations give these wines a wild mountain flower-styled bouquet with blueberry liqueur and cassis notes in the background. Full-bodied, unctuously-textured, thick, and juicy, it should be drunk over the next 4-6 years.
2003 Behrens and Hitchcock Les Chats du Monde $64.99 Robert Parker 92 points!!! The deep ruby/purple-tinged 2003 Les Chats du Monde (a blend of 58% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 2% Syrah) offers a big, smoky, blackberry-scented nose, heady alcohol, impressive fruit purity, an unctuous texture, and an explosively long finish. Drink it over the next 7-8 years.

2001 Behrens and Hitchcock Ode To Picasso $129.99 Robert Parker 96 points!!! The Dead Cat cuvee ... oh, I’m sorry, I mean the 2001 Ode To Picasso (their homage to a deceased pet) is a blend of 40% Syrah, 32% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Petit Verdot, 8% Cabernet Franc, and 5% Merlot (who thinks up these blends?). No European producer would dare mix all this stuff together because of ... tradition ... but these disrespectful adult hippies got it right. It’s all about creativity, singularity, and producing awesome wines ... like this one. Incredible aromas of creosote, blackberries, crème de cassis, acacia flowers, and underbrush soar from the glass. Superb texture, great purity (a characteristics of all B and H wines), and terrific length characterize this wine. It will be impossible to resist over the next 10-15 years. Go for it!
