scattered posting and products for first week of april

Robert from Garco
Original Malbec Vin de Pay Non Vintage...dark purple color but tinny nose, watery finish...no tannin and light cherry fruit

Mercedes Egueren Shiraz Tempranillo blend 06 a pretty purple garnett color, and pretty nose, but light finish not much weight, a little spice but nothing exciting.

From Derrick of Bommarito
Ferreria 10 year Tawny.... orangish color in the glass a little anise and orange flavors...light touch of walnuts

Broadbent Madeira 5yrs not overly sweet, more if tawny met sherry... really good with spiced desserts

With Hoyt from JK wines and Odidea
Muse Rose 2007 salmon to rust color, a touch earthy and not much fruit at all

Veritable Quandry Red a blend of Tempranillo grenache, carignane etc...dark color and cola nose,banana was the main fruit, last years version had more fruit, this was more restrained and a little more user friendly.

Unusual Suspects 2007 Carignane, Tempranillo and Grenache... gotta love the name...from Lodi where the grapes get more sun and heat , a nice finish if somewhat quickish...but the fruit was ripe and tasty.... fun label too...
