Fess Parker wines

Fortress Sauv Blanc Red Hills Lake County 2008 bright fruit, more toward the grapefruit, although it seems they are looking for sancerre

Fess Parker Chardonnay Santa Barbara County 2008... clean and crisp with a nice compliment of oak and caramel on the finish.

Fess Parker Pinot Noir Santa Barbara County 2007... showing why it was such a good vintage... nice fruit, good acidity and long finish... just the right amount of tartness.

Fess Parker Ashley Vineyards Santa Rita Hills 2006... lots of tart cranberry, dried fruit flavors, long finish... maybe just a little hot.

Fess Parker Syrah Santa Barbara 2006... lots of upfront fruit, and some spice on the finish but maybe just a little too much of one note.
