Big red tasting with Premier Cru

Another large tasting set to give a lot of exposure to the restaurants and retail shops in town. All reds and most looked very good.

Fisher Coach Insignia Cab 2004 very dark and tannic. could use some time to open up and show more of the fruit.

Joel Gott Mohr-Fry Zinfandel 2006 lush and juicy. great fruit and finish.

Ramsey Claret 2005 a little weak on the palate but it was hard to compete with the other big boys.

Vall Llach Embruix (embru-sh) winery from Priorat one of my favorite regions. this winery is owned by a Spanish folk singer. carignan and mourvedre

Idus 2004 my favorite of the tasting. lush romantic and sensual. will have a case in stock

Vall Llach Vall Llach old vine small berry earthy. made from mostly carignane also,

Luca 2005 Argentina big and lovely..didnt write much but have it in stock.. more shiraz oriented than Syrah.

Palladino Serralunga 2003 big as it should be with earthy notes on the front and tannin and black fruit on the back.
