hell monday part three-bommarito

Dierberg is a better known name in St Louis with a chain of grocery stores but they have been making wine almost half a decade.

Dierberg Chardonnay Santa Maria Valley toasty nose and smoky, carries into the palate..some tropical fruit..nice finish

Dierberg Syrah 2006 dark purple..juicy yet finishes a little on the lean side..none of the good bacon fat but still juicy

Star Lane Sauv Blanc 2006 sweet melon nose, melon and grassy on the palate..typical cali style for me.

Star Lane Cabernet Sauvignon Santa Ynez 2005 a lovely french stink, ynez stink?, bordeaux blend that definitely needs time to open and soften up...a nice vanilla, dark cherry flavor..long finish.

Three Saints Chardonnay 2005 Santa Maria Valley tropical fruit nose, appropriate acidity and a long finish with hints of the tropical fruits.

Three Saints Cabernet Sauvignon 2005 a high altitude wine, pretty cedar on the nose, lots of cassis and dark berry flavors. soft tannins..very enjoyable.
