great wines with craig pinnacle ..pt 2

2009 El Cipres Torrontes Mendoza usually a sweet nose and this does not disappoint but the sweetness follows through on the finish which it doesn't usually do... not much acidity... kinf of flabby'

2008 De Bortoli Deen Vat 2 Sauv Blanc Australia... usual cat pee but a weak palate and a weak finish overall a weak wine

Solitude Chardonnay Carneros 208 beautiful california chard nose, no mistaking that for french.. long mouthfeel with butter and tropical fruit... surprisingly long soft finish.

Cantele Telero Rosso 2008 from the bootheel of Italy, made with negromara, juicy and somewhat stinky, but utlimately a think finish.

Finca Resalso Ribera del Duero 2007 earth and cedary nose, pretty dark fruit and some earthy tones on the finish

Guigal Cotes du Rhone 2006 pepper and fruit on the palate.. not heavy or much depth but pleasant.. not the bigger wine the 07s I have tasted are but still a good bottle.. syrah and grenache dominate.
