vintegrity wines

Estrada Creek Chard 2006 simple true varietal. not any oak notices. just good regular juice

Estrada Merlot 2005 enjoyable and noticeably not vegetal or green on the palate simple and quaffable.

Estrada Cab 2005 light bing cherry fruit, no oak...soft

I see these wines as the middle ground between Tisdale and higher priced california wines.

Yard Dog Red Petite Verdot, cab, merlot. easy drinking, not complex, but a fun wine and fun label

Shannon Ridge Wrangler red 07 a field blend and in this case the sum is not greater than parts. very chunky and a little hot...like a confused teen it seems to have potential but right now all knees and elbows
