Via Pacifica with Blake Kramer

This supplier brought in by Pinnacle wines

Lake Chalice Sauvignon Blanc New Zealand 2006 very unctious... typical cat pee nose and grapefruit flavors funny it affected the roof of my mouth more than tastebuds..astringent

Bird Sauv blanc new zealand 2007 the winemaker from thornbury makes this...not as gooseberry but still very tart.

Huia Sauv Blanc 2007 New Zealand lively clean flavors..a touch herbacious but not overly so...and light on the cat pee..gooseberry soft...very nice indeed,,

interesting to try three sauv blanc from new zealand..and all three were just slightly different

The two reds I wasnt that impressed with.

Alpha Domus Navigator 2003 is their bordeaux blend..mostly merlot.. tight nose, and i cant tell if it needs more time or just never going to open up being an 03

Olssen jackson barry pinot noir 2004 earthy cranberry tea light and soft and not very interesting
