terra firma wines

Vina Robles White4 2008 a blend of verdehlo, vermentino, viognier and sauvignon blanc....interesting combo, with the viognier and sauv blanc being more standoutish.. bright acidity and a touch of lemon and vanilla with a long finish.

Domaine de Couron Merlot 2007 dark color in the glass with a hint of green veg on the nose that doesnt really stop the bright cherry fruit, almost a mocha finish..round and tasty.

Domaine de Couron Cuvee Marie Dubois Syrah 2005. if this wine wasnt from the 2005 vintage I would have taken a full case.. iodine and dark berry...ripe fruit, pretty pretty wine...almost voluptious... but the 2007's are almost here and they will be spectacular.

Domaine de Cristia Chateauneuf du Pape 2006 pepper on the nose and wow a lot going on...great savage or garrigue flavors great fruit and beautiful finish.

Sir,
The family will not release the 2007 vintage until late 2010.

Therefore, feel free to garner the discount of a complete case of the marvelous 2005 vintage. This wine has a very broad (10 years) window of enjoyment.

Thank you from Marie-Lise and Jean-Luc for supporting their family winery.

your humble servant,

William
