mount eden with jp vintegrity

2008 wolfe vineyards, cinnamon on the nose, bright aromatic fruit for chard... aromas of toasty oak that are evident on the palate but not overwhelmingly so

2007 Saratoga Cuvee Chardonnay, darker in color than the first chard... this wine is not ashamed of its oak treatment but not over the top...well integrated...

2007 Saratoga Pinot Noir, from the original Martin Ray vineyards in Central Coast... light opaque purple, bright tart fruit... good acidity and rich finish for the price.

2007 Estate Pinot Noir... intense nose, tea, cola and dried fruit, texture, style and quality in the glass. silky and seductive.'

2006 Saratoga Cuvee Cabernet Sauvignon... the weakest of the tasting, soft on the palate, touch of oak, not complex at all.

2006 Estate Cabernet Sauvignoon, dark purple concentration, cassis, mouthfilling texture and flavors.. silky tannin and long lovely finish..
