Kobrand with major brands

Wild Rock Wine CompanyImage of Wild Rock Wine Company via SnoothInfamous Goose Sauvignon Blanc Marlborough NZ 2010  maybe a softer version of the usual but all in all the same as the usual. grapefruit on the front and lime and acid on the back.. nice finish thoug.h

Cakebread Chardonnay Napa 2010.. creamy and rich but not the oak or butter bomb that I was expecting.. maybe should have had this before the sauv blanc.. hard to really get past all the grapefruit acidity of the first wine

Wild rock Pinot Noir Central otago New Zealand 2009.. wild berry with lots going on in the mid palate... lighter style of Pinot a good food wine

Michele Chiarlo Barbera d'Asti DOC 2009 pretty garnet red.. slight italian stink.. a good juicy intro into the world of barbera. spectator raved.

Sequoia Grove Cabernet Sauvignon 2008 Napa dark color in the glass and lots of cedar and pencil lead aromas.. some vanilla and tobacco flavors.. tea like tannins.. long cedar finish... maybe be too young

Clayhouse Malbec 2009 Paso Robles. good tannin and fruit... people not expecting malbec from usa.. but there is a lot grown in california as its one of the accepted bordeaux or meritage grapes.
