Wine with Chad Zimmerman, Agent Provocateur

from vintegrity

2008 Haut Rion Bordeaux Blanc.. melon, light and relatively crisp... nice intro to bordeaux white, sauv blanc and semillon

2007 Chateau de la Terriere Beaujolais Village . cotton candy on the nose, earthy and strawberry on the palate.. light bodied but really enjoyable beaujolais

2006 Chateau Malbat Bordeaux Rouge. a touch green.. 90% merlot and shows...light and easy

2007 Chateau de Pennautier Cabardes.. dark collor, lovely dark fruit flavors, some earth and just a lot going on... a blend of bordeaux and rhone varietals.and I think will smooth a little with age... great wine.

2006 Domaine de Pesquier Cotes du Rhone a touch of iodine and tobacco, llight bodied, enjoyable if not memorable.

2005 Domaine de Pesquier Gigondas... gorgeous fruit and mouth filling, texture and long finish... really nice wine.

2008 Fattoria Roggio Romita Chianti.. just the right amount of leather and fruit but finishes a little soft and dull.

2006 Fattoria Poggio Romita Friman Chianti Classico... wine of the day... dark color but some traditional rust, great mouth of cherry and red fruits.. nice grip though the finish...

Domaine de Beaurenard Cotes du RHone 2007.. iodine and fresh red berrys..

Beaurenard Rasteau 2007 juicy, ripe and very tasty... mostly grenache with some syrah

Beaurenard Chateauneuf 2007 dark and brooding but oh so juicy. long finish of tobacco and smoke

Beaurenard Boisrenard 2007... each wine just keeps getting better... purple color, oak on the nose that will soften with age... lots of stuff going on with the palate..
