wines with mike dorsey of golden barrel

Le Clos du Caillou Cote du Rhone White 2006 lots of acidity, very viscous and lush but I didnt find a lot of fruit, more of the green olive flavors associated with this region, the grapes being roussane and marsanne tend to develop more flavors as they age, the opposite of most white wines... another wine buyer tried it though and thought it had lovely tropical fruit and would be liked by consumers looking for an alternative to chardonnay


Haut Medoc du Haut Berzac 2005 mostly merlot from the 2005 vintage...french stink on the nose , some quick berry on the tongue then a quick finish... not a great expression of what the 05 vintage was about.
