Girard Sauvignon Blanc 2008 stainless steel...less grass more gooseberry...soft but aware

Windsor Sonoma Chardonnay 2007 some ml... fruit is okay but a little hot

Girard Chardonnay Russian River 2007 more minerality than the first chard. not as hot...slight touch of oak is nice.


Windsor Sonoma Zinfandel 2006 Dry Creek..said to be made in the feminine style... but found it to be a little boring..

Girard Petite Sirah 2007.. intense, color and flavors... not a wimpy wine..

Windsor Sonoma Cabernet 2005 typical cali cab nose, cassis and dark berry fruit, but ultimately uninteresting.

Girard Artistry 2006 a bordeaux blend.. sawdusty nose, really like the textures of this wine... mouthfilling and flavors of dried fruits.. best of the bunch'

Sonoma Coast Vineyards 2007 Pinot Noir dark fruits and very rustic... i think I was hoping for more given the vintage.

and I got more with The Sonoma Coast Vineyards Ballisterri Vineyard Pinot Noir 2007... very nice dark intense color and flavors.. loved the texture of the wines... and the hint of oak on the finish...
