cellar selection wines from major brands with jason maroon

les Brugueres Grenache blanc 2006 what a pretty white wine this is. aromas of milk chocolate and wild flowers. rich creamy textures.. a beautiful wine that wont sell much but they seem to have a small audience of admires...

Casajus 2003 earthy violets tobacco cedar not much fruit to it. very tight and not very inviting for the age it is.

Tikato Kios 2004 named for the greek isle that makes wine. surprising nose of a sangiovese, leather and red cherry.. bone dry and gritty...

Olvena Red Blend 2004 smells like my vets office..not a bad smell just not expecting it from the wine.. sawdust and wet hair...green on the palate from young vines or overcropping. and its old. a blend of temp, cab and something else.
