bernie from pinnacle and wines

wines from a grand tasting.

vernay Condrieu 2010  obvious viognier nose, a little softer and uninspiring

Verney Condrieu L'enfer 2010  golden color, amazingly smoky and honeyed. soft and creamy.. really pretty wine again viognier

Brunel Les Cailloux Chateauneuf 2010 high alcohol and extraction.. lots of color

Bosquet des Papes Chateauneuf 2010  dark dark color.. again high alcohol levels.. dark raspberry fruit. good tannin

Tour Saint Michel Chateauneuf 2010  more fruit forward.. not as structured and a little simpler. a little bit of a meaty finish

Charbonniere Chateauneuf 2010.. my favorite of this tasting. huge color and flavor.. still juicy but seemingly a more structure to the overall flavor. more mocha and white pepper on the finish
