QED wines.. sean mccord

A new distributor...with wines from the Central Coast area of California



Brander Sauv Blanc 2008.. pretty melon and fig on the nose, and some body... one of the wines that does not really have a type... but showing fruit well/

Queen Of Hearts Chardonnay Santa Barbara County 2008  a little green on the nose and palate.. stainless steel.. not too ripe fruit.. a little boring


Queen of Hearts Merlot Santa Barbara 2005 going to be 07.. fruity nose and juicy... a touch of tobacco and spice on the finish.. surprising because more often the chards in this price point are better than reds.

Lucas and Lewelling Syrah 2005.. wanting it to be more rhone style.. there was some body and iron but just didnt turn the corner.. a weak mid palate but good acidity on the back

Lucas and Lewelling Cabernet 2005 Valley View Vineyared  good color, pretty steak sauce aromas... lots of up front fruit... a little softer finish than hoping for but a nice bottle of wine.
