Jacuzzi Pinot Grigio 2007.. richer fruit color, more caramel color. lighter bodied wine that the look suggests... yet crisp and lively.. interesting body.. a touch of creaminess on the end.

Jacuzzi Pinot Noir Sonoma County 2007 dark berry fruiton the palate.. some good texture with it... from the very nice 2007 pinot noir vintage.. long finish..

Cashmere California 2008 the cline version of GSM... dark purple in the glass, bright fruity flavors, a little hot but I think it will settle down a bit with time...

Syrah Cool Climate Sonoma Coast 2007 dark purple in the glass, mocha, iodine, really enjoyable as both a cocktail and for dinner pairing, the finish goes a little fast but the upfront is very good.

Ancient Vines Mourvedre Contra Costa 2007.. purple in glass.. good extraction. a touch of pepper on the nose, lots of fruit on the palate, texture and a touch of eucalyptus on the nose too...

Ancient Vines Zinfandel California 2008 worries of what can be called ancient since there is no real designation of what makes an old vine... perfume and pepper.. jammy fruit but not too hot on the palate.. great with steak
