Alan Cannon with Rombauer Vineyards

Rombauer Chardonnay Carneros 2007 interesting for a wine from cali with 100% malo and barrel fermented this wine was not the fruit or butter bomb that some can be...carneros is one of the coolest growing regions in california and this gives you just a hint of oaky toasty goodness with out hitting you over the head

Rombauer Merlot 2006 I love carneros merlot..very dense and chewy with lots of rich fruit and spice...

Rombauer Zinfandel 2007 the glorious vintage for cali Zin...the nose on this yelled out Sweet Tea...boysenberry and blackberry fruits but not cloyingly so.

Rombauer Cabernet 2005 90% cab with the rest cab franc...softer style...

Rombauer Diamond Selection Cabernet 2003 cedar and dark fruits, cedar almost overpowers... but the fruit comes through on the finish...
