w.h.wednesday part 3 ken volk with Mike Brown

Ken Volk was a founder of Wild Horse in Central Coast.

Malvasia 2007 light straw color, nutty, floral on the sweet nose.. dryer style finish. almost alsace in nature..texture seemed to be the word of the day..

Negrette 2004...interesting grape varietal.. found in the south of france..a hybrid from the cote de fontenat.. floral with a cola nose, juicy and a bit dusty... a touch earthy finish.. the next release will be 2007 and that will be in the store.

Merlot 2005 some more cool climate grape characteristics..lots of grip, and tannin and darker berry fruit flavors..not a wimpy wine at all.

Mourvedre 2005 bright color, bright cherry fruit on the palate.. very cool finish..will be a great food wine.. these are the from the oldest central coast plantings of mourvedre..soft plummy finish.
