schug wine with ben gillette/pinnacle

2008 Schug Sauvignon Blanc a creamier version of s.b. fig and smooth not overly herbacious or grapefruit, a nice middle ground.

2008 Schug Sonoma Coast Chardonnay.. a non oak version.. lots of bright fruit acidity green apple, little if any ml

2008 Schug Carneros Chardonnay barrel fermented and the toasty oak nose proves that. acidic..and not as buttery on the finish as you think. would have liked a little more on the middle but overall a nice chard

2007 Schug Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir.. following the same program of no oak.. mostly fruit.made with mostly dijon clones, a little herbal on the palate...not heavy at all

2007 Schug Carneros Pinot Noir made with french and hungarian oak. soft and easy, a pretty pinot noir, made from mostly pommard clones which produce a darker berry.. was expecting a little more earth on the nose

2006 Schug Cabernet pretty soft tannins, more of a right bank style even though it is predominately cabernet. soft and easy tannin, which seems to be a consistent remark throughout my notes. very pretty finish... with cherry being the predominate stand out fruit.
