Marque wines

New wines from Spain
Old Hands Yecla 2007 Sauv Blanc pretty soft on the palate more california in style than new zealand. fig and melon as opposed to grapefruit.

Old Hands Monastrell 06 a quick whiff of green on the nose then some fruit. one note and done but for the money not too bad...

Old Hands Organic Monastrell 2007 more steak sauce nose, a little fuller and lush than the regular. still slightly green on the back

Trapio 2004 Monastrell Old vines but way too much oak and chunky heavy fruit. nothing subtle here

Classy Sauv Blanc Lake County 2006 a herbacious type of sauv blanc.. soft and quick on the finish

Classy Zin 2006 a stinky briary nose, iodine and tire rubber, a little juicy but quick finish also. and the labels are ugly.
