trinchero wines with john edgerly

trinchero is the family that discovered or stumbled on Sutter Home White Zin.
Tried some new wines from them that were actually wines that they bought when they purchased a place for its facilities.

Napa Cellars Sauvignon 2005 Sweet grassy light bodied and not very interesting.

Folie e Deux Chard Melon nose, ripe fruit, vanilla, malo. All things that make california chardonnay so popular.

Napa Cellars Merlot 2003 Just a touch old but lots of oak barrel in the nose. lots of barrels

Trinchero Chicken Ranch 2004 Soft wine, quick finish nice but expensive for the quality.

Napa Cellars Zin 2004 The best of the bunch but for $17 you can find other wines that give the same flavors for less. A softer style wine.


Napa Cellars Cabernet bright color a little alcohol flavor.

Folie e Deux Cabernet 2004 A strong oak nose but soft on the finish. A good intro to Cabernet for people getting into that type of wine.

Trinchero Main Street 03Black fruit aromas and flavors Cassis long finish. too old for the shelf though. Soon will have an 04 on the shelf.
