value wines.
Chateau Haut Rion Blanc Bordeaux 2009 almost tropical fruit.. 60% semillon which shows in the weight of the wine.. mouthfilling with just the right amount of minerality.. this has been in the store for a few vintages... good example of white bordeaux.
Michael Sullberg Chardonnay California 2008.. soft and easy.. a good banquet wine.
Shannon Ridge Sauvignon Blanc Lake County 2009 wow.. lots of power in this one.. grassy and herbal.. all that is expected of this varietal from California.. very rich on the palate..
Balletto Estate Pinot Noir Russian River Valley 2009.. a little one note of barnyard and earth.. some dried fruit but not as good as I was expecting from last viintage
Michael Sullberg Merlot California 2009 clean and good fruit.. not overly interesting but a good banquet wine.. not going to offend anyone.
Zolo Malbec Mendoza argentin 2009.. I would have to say the winner of this tasting.. lots going on for the price.. rich sweet fruit and silky tannins..
Shannon Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon Lake County 2008. varietally correct.some good fruit... a little boring though..
