2007 Cochon Syrah Massa Ranch Napa Valley dark coffee on the nose, dark fruit on the palate but it ends pretty quick... a little hot on the palate

2008 The Temp Tempranillo Clements Hill cedar on the nose, pretty juicy fruit and good finish... shows the difference between cali and spain temp though...no earthiness here., the clones are from the Ribera del Douro which is my favorite spanish wine region.

2008 Unusual Suspects 55% field blend, back in the old days farmers would plant all varietals together and they are all harvested at the same time... alicante bouchet, carignan, etc. dark purple in the glass, a little hot also..

2008 Veritable Quandry red.. 36% grenache.. and a bunch of other stuff... one note sticks out... iodine, juicy and hot

2009 Dream Albarino Lodi taking a cool climate wine and putting it in a hot area like Lodi the grape changes a lot... what was soft with some nutty character becomes a wannabe New Zealand sauv bloanc... catpee and rhubarb on the nose, green veggie on the palate, does have some of the texture of it.. but overall strange little wine.
