classique wines with madeline pulley

Castello la leccia chianti classico 2007 a touch rusty around the edges. some leather but nice fruit.. a little cocoa.. nice expression of chianti.. a little thin at the finish though..

Fieldstone Convivio Red Blend Alexander Valley 2005 stinky feet... lots of not over ripe merlot... longish finish but not altogether pleasant...

Red Wire New Zealand 2007 bordeaux style blend that features the cold weather grapes that give good grip and character.. some sweet fruit at the front and nice finish.

Stone Paddock "Scarlet" New Zealand 2007 another blend...not as merlot driven... and more sexier... a little silkier.. pretty finish...bright fruit flavors...

Hardy Vanille Cognac and Vanilla Bean extract... vanilla and orange on the nose, a lot...vanilla overwhelming on the palate...lost all the cognac flavor...
