With allergy season upon us I find it more difficult to find the first notes of the wine because it comes from the nasal passage, so some of the wines may have been showing well I just couldnt tell.
2007 Larochette Les Morizottes White Burgundy..the first of the 07 for me to taste and not overwhelming.. a touch sweet with adequate acidity but still a soft finish
2007 St Innocent Vitea Springs Pinot Gris. 2007 just let me say that I am more found personally of Pinot Blanc as a grape varietal than gris... this example was lots of mineral a little viscousity but in general not an inspiring wine.
2005 Niepoort Vertante the winner of this bunch. again with the lacquer aromas deep red color and nice full palate...i have had this on the shelf in past vintages and run out quickly...
2006 Colombo Les Bartavelles Chateauneuf du Pape 2006 juicy from the grenache, a bit rough around the edges.. with tar and tobacco on the finish. surprisingly light though for a CDP and $35
2003 Easton Fiddletown Zinfandel Fiddletown one of the names known for great zin...this one though is a little long in the tooth and just not terribly exciting for the money...fresher easton things are available in the store.
