My first tasting with Erin who took Ciaran Molloys place
Fairview Viognier SOuth Africa 2006 flinty mineral..not the traditional flowery nose, not much sweet on the palate..reminds me of an alsace wine...just the hints of sweet..may be a little past its tme
leone de castris salice salentino rosso puglia 2007 a touch earthy on the nose, dullish finish..earthy...not a lot of fruit..typical italian red.. leather
Valle Reale Montepulciano d' abruzzo 2008...lots of bing cherry on palate.. one dimensional but not a bad dimension.
Terre Nero d; Avola Sicily2007 dirty nose, med body but needs food.. a lot of italian sausage
Argiolas Costera Sardinia 07 dinky..vegetal.. not ripe...a disappointing effort from the past I have tried..100% Cannanou or Cab Franc
Cline Cool Climate Syrah 2007... some dark fruits, iodine...but not very robust or interesting..
Sixth Sense Syrah 2007 Lodi dark color.. hits all the right buttons.. fruit..iodine..bacon... long inky silky finish
Chris Ringland Shiraz Barossa Valley 2007... some oak..well balanced fruit flavors.. cocoanut on the sweet finish... a little heat but not over the top.. interesting..
