pinnacle wines todd mathis of martines wines

2007 Cornin Beaujolais Blanc... 100% chard.. from the beaujolais region... mostly known for gamay grape wines.. no wood.. not very interesting.. except for the uniqueness of the wine itself.. needs a little more body and fruit.

2007 Brocard Montee de Tonnerre premier cru chablis... 100% chard... not as crisp as I was expecting..

2007 Metaireau Grand Mouton Muscadet.. Loire Valley... a touch creamy, nice minerality and a touch of creaminess from the sur lee aging...

2007 Bruno Clavelier Combe d'Orveau Chambolle-Musigny quite the expensive bottle... and definitely showing more seductive character.. perfumy and loamy... long lasting finish..

2008 Gilles Robin Cuvee Papillon Croze Hermitage syrah... lots of white pepper on thenose and some nice blueberry on the palate but quick finish and for the money I was expecting a little more

2007 Niepoort Vertente Portugal.. made with indigenous port grapes... dark color in the glass but not showing a lot of flavors on the palate... just having been shipped in they may still suffer from bottle shock.
