Wente Wines with Jeff Floyd

What was it someone told me, never trust a man with two first names?? Jeff however seemed very nice and genial. texan through and through.

Tamas Pinot Grigio 2007 light light light

Wente Morning Fog Chardonnay 2007 from the warm Livermore area of California.. smells like butter popcorn and tastes like it too...typical cali chard

Wente Reliz Creek Pinot Noir 2006 rusty color lots of fruit tannin , a touch tobacco, lost in two worlds not really california and not european... harking back to the Chevalier I tasted this morning it was pretty similiar but a little more aggresive for a lot less money

Wente Crane Ridge Merlot 2006 sweet nose, juicy and soft, definitely thebest of the bunch today. nice bright cherry fruit through out.

Wente Riva Ranch Chardonnay 2007 pretty golden color, toasty oak but nice acidity definitely more enjoyable than the Livermore bottling.
