forgotten wines from last week

I found this sheet today from Sean Bell of Bodi. wines we tried but I didnt write down.

Lazy Creek Pinot Noir 2006 mostly 06 vintage but not all so. lighter style especially compared to all the Pinot I had last month. There is some nice woodsy character with mushrooms and light red fruits.

Mas Foulaquier Pic St Loup 2005 a blend of Grenache and Syrah from the new hot region of French wine. violet in the glass and taste. a little iodine on the finish which is typical of the blend.

Chateau de la Bonneliere 2006 Chinon I really enjoyed the 05 version of this wine which got some great press. The 2006 is still a little green in the bottle with some herbal aromas and flavors...a sign of a cooler vintage. Definite french stink on the nose with some aggressive green tea tannin on the front and softens to a pretty finish. Cabernet Franc is the grape type.
