VINTUS AND PINNACLE IMPORTS

2008 Errazuriz Wild Ferment Chardonnay Chile... some malo and 100% barrel makes an american style chard... good viscosity and fruit...

2006 Telmoo Rodgriguez Gago. Spain Toro.... made from Tinto di Toro or Tempranillo, the grape of Rioja, but as syrah reacts differently to australia versus Cornas, so tempranillo does between rioja and toro... dense rich and ripe not a bit of the typical saddleleather that Rioja exhibits.

2007 Decero Malbec Argentina the second vintage for this producer... definitely in the style that parker likes, big, bold and juicy... dark purple in color ... dark fruit on the palate...

2007 Finca Decero Amano Argentina.. best blocks of their grapes make this wine. malbec, cab and tannat... round flavors but the cab does show through... wine of the day...

2007 Errazuriz late harvest sauv blanc... late picked so higher in sugar... honey and apricot on the nose, but a little blunt, nice mouthfeel on the palate but a little medicinal on the finish... not a winner...
