CK Mondavi Sauvignon Blanc 2009.. probably one of the worst wines I have tasted in some time. It looked a little golden in the glass and had tea and off sweet notes.. but not tempting at all... no acidity. no crispness
CK Mondavi Red Field Blend 2008... cab.merlot.petite verdot and syrah... much better.. herbal nose with a touch of steak sauce... nice fruit and acidity... red berry... good for the price
Charles Krug Sauvignon Blanc 2008 ...sancerre or french in style.. light and not overly interesting.. would like to have more there there.
Charles Krug Cabernet Sauvignon Yountville 2007... one of the least expensive wines to have this designation I am told. pretty cedar on the nose, smooth tannin and sweet fruit..a little tobacco and smoky on the finish.
