Eric Solomon with Juan Guardia/Major Brands

Artazuri Rosada Navarra 2008 grenache rose, light rusty salmon color, dried fruit on the nose, not a lot of guts, maybe getting a little long in the tooth... soon will be the 09

l'hortus Bergerie Blanc, Val de Montferrand 2008 viognier/marsanne/roussanne blend, very much the viognier on the nose, golden yellow color, creamy and tropical fruit... a little lemony

Chateau Pesquie Terrasses 2008 earthy nose, not as much fruit as the o7. more traditional nose to the rhone. more subtle not the fruit bomb glycerin styled wine that last year was...which is ok...typicity

Sabon Chapelle de Maillac Lirac 2007 an inexpensive version of chateauneuf, but this wine is a little disjointed and rough around the edges... a few of the markers of the region but all knees and elbows..
