Deutsch wine with Gian (pronounced john) Vitale

Covey Run Late Harvest Riesling 2007 golden color, not a sweet nose a touch mineral. a little dull on the finish.

Geyser Peak Chardonnay 2007 big malo nose and now comes in screwtop. bright sweet flavors with a quick finish.

Ste Chapelle Soft Red 2007 non descript wine, a touch sweet finish, maybe good for a beginner. not sure of what grapes they have wouldnt be surprised if it is Chambercain or somesuch.

Buena Vista Carneros Pinot Noir 2006 a touch cloudy soft, supple and pretty red berry fruits.

Columbia Winery Cabernet Sauvignon 2004 Washington black cherry and molassis on the nose, bing cherry fruit. nice acidity and quick finish.

XY Zin 10 yr old vine soft, a bit rough around the edges, could use a little more briar, has some nice berry fruit but uninspiring for the money. Would love to try the 50 and 100 yr old bottling.
