cynthia bommarito miscellanious wines

These are wines that were in the Pinnacle portfolio and at one time with Jorge Ordonez

Nora Peitan Albarino Rias Baixas 2010.. usually an albarino fan.. this was unusually sweet on the front palate.. more like a zippy sauv blanc than the round albarino's i am used to

Las Brisas Rueda Spain 2010  almost bitter.. fruit not showing well on the palate... I have liked this bottling in the past.. may be a bad bottle

Sila Mencia Monterriei 2009 Mencia is thought to be either Cab Franc or a kissing cousin.dark earthy nose  and dark purple in the glass.. it starts to give me the fruit and finish that i like from this area but it just doesnt turn the corner.. one dimensional. lots of tannin

Mano a Mano Tempranillo La Mancha 2009.. dark in color.. rich on the palate.. a little one note also but at least it is a good note.. for the money a winner every time
