wine with pinnacle/craig rohner

Alban Viognier Central Coast 2008 ..central coast.. pretty yellow color, but HEAVY on the palate...as with most rhone style wine I would recommend aging for several years. I bet it will be great in 2015. lots of overripe fruit, oak.

Biale Monte Rosso Zinfandel 2007...dark purple, briary, juicy, gritty... jammy...what every one who drinks zin likes... not overly hot or high in alcohol.

Biale Petite Sirah Royal Punishers 2006..big deep purple color and deep purple flavors... teeth staining.. jammy. huge wine...lots of fun not wimpy

Biale was in the market before and the Black Chicken was their big seller for this store... it will be back too

Kamen 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma ...another teeth stainer.. the cork was stained almost black... what a young pup this wine is... big fruit gritty tannins... i am sure this will settle down in about 5 or so years... sweet cedar from the oak... 93 from parker... and I can see why.. he likes the big style
