wines from pinnacle and craig rohner

Interesting wines from around the world/

2007 Triebaumer Rose nice acidity, pretty pink color. just in time for summer. not as strawberry as last years but still very drinkable...those looking for a little drier rose will find it here.

Jean Louis Chave Offerus St Joseph 2005 90 pts from parker and I give it a big recommend. white pepper on the nose and palate... lovely finish, not as much of that bacon fat as I like but still darn delicious.

Chave Mon Couer 2006 Cotes du Rhone...french stink on the nose, juicy tobacco on the finish. not for the faint of heart but definitely a winner for cote du rhone lovers.

Elderton Tantalus Australia 2006 weird nose of b.o. and dill,.. juicy but too strong on the oak at the finish. vanilla too...expected more...

Fontafredda Barbera 2006 a wine spectator top 100 wine from this year. a touch green from youth i think...willl come off that. cocoa and earth are the flavors or aromas that came to me.. touch of iodine that goes to bing cherry...you will find this in the conny corner.

Vinosia Falaghina 2006 a wine varietal found in southern italy. this is juicy with a hint of orange and citrus.. and mineral...i thought it tasted like a st joseph baby aspirin...in a good way.
