monday wines

Derrick from bommarito.

Dare by Viader 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon dark fruit nose, soft tannins and easy finish.. Viader's little brother

Loimar Estate Riesling Kamtal Austria 2007 mineral and quite a petrol aroma on the nose which carries through to a rubber, oily finish. pink grapefruit...nipple raising good as derrick says

Loimar Estate Gruner Veltliner Kamptal Austria 2007 this reminds me of what Gruner is about...Pinot Grigio with a whole lot more class and nerve... mineral, long finish and nice citrus notes.

Shooting Star Syrah Lake County 2006 very dark purple and very fruit forward..not terribly interesting..jammy fruit, good for a first time syrah...not as impressive as the other shooting star wines tried recently.


from Premier Cru...Santa Julia Torrontes Organica 2008 a little sweeter and fruitier style than most I have had lately... Torrontes is a hybrid grape of Muscat and mission grapes brought over by the church when settling Argentina.
