misc wines for december

Mothers Milk Shiraz Barossa 2004 I was worried with the age that the wine would have lost some of its fruit, but it must have been a fruit bomb when it was young because there is still a lot of juicy meaty goodness. long finish and black black fruit.'

Independent Producers Chardonnay 2007 from Walla Walla area Unoaked with melon fruit aromas. dry and slightly bitter finish.

Independent Producers Merlot 2007 lots of vanilla and some rough edges. sweet fruit if a little green. I really like the new label wish I liked the wine as well.

Best wine of the week
Amavi Cabernet Sauv 2006 Walla Walla juicy, soft tannins and baking spice flavors on the mouth. uses a little syrah that gives it some body. very nice
