thursday tasting

Today from derrick with bommarito
Colin Bourgogne La Combe 2005 not showing a lot of flavors..had been opened for a day but usually these wines will show minerality or some flavors..just flat

Steele Carneros Pinot Noir 2006 Typical carneros fruit..cranberry. tart. pretty enjoyable just nothing exceptional
Foris Maple Vineyards Pinot Noir Oregon 2005
Usually single vineyard wines have more flavor and depth than their more general brothers.. this wine did not...very flat. soft..uninteresting.

finally a good wine. Fattoria Lucignano 2005 not usual color for sangiovese...just a rustic italian nose...that leads to bright bing cherry fruit.. nice finish. will be in the store soon.

from Sean and Bodi wines

Domaine de Aubuisieres Vouvray Brut NV bright green apple flavors with a touch of sweetness from the chenin blanc. made in method champenoise nice touch of mineral.


Chateau Felice 2004 Chardonnay For anyone who thinks age is bad for chard this would change your perception. Nice mouth feel but not over the top ML...a touch of meyer lemon?? interesting wine

Domaine les Grands Bois Cote du RhoneVillages
Cuvee Gabrielle 2005 One of the longest names I have had to type for a while. dark purple but the flavors finish quick lots of wines from this region are much better.

Foulaquier Coteaux du Languedoc Pic Saint-Loup2005
grenache and syrah blend..touch of bing cherry on the quick finish. an up and coming region for the south of france..but this wasnt one of their better wines.

Hedges Red Mountain Three Vineyards 2004 opaque ruby predominately merlot nice grip from the cool climate merlot.. a touch of cassis thanks to the cabernet great from washington
