an evening in loch loyd

What an opportunity to have 10 wine people bring a wine to show off.. hopefully.
januik Cold Creek Chardonnay Washington 2008.. toasty on the finish. not quite sure onthe ML but definitely was a cross between Cali and Burgundy

2005 mondavi reserve pinot noir.. showing lots of fruit. and some dried mushroom.. surprisinly youthful

1994 Silver Oak Napa my contribution. past its prime and still showing some fruit... pencil box nose

Frank Family Napa Cabernet 2008.. dark fruit.. and tannins.. great for the cost

Mondavi Reserve cab 2008 big..

Rudd Oakville red 2005.. hot and chewy.. needs food

Episode Terlato 2006... weakest of the bunch

Cardinale 2006.. loads of fruit and tannin.. very nice

DelDotto 2001..the first bottle was corked.. second lovely fruit but not as lovely as

deldotto 2002.. loaded for bear and it was a hit.. my favorite of the night.. lush and supple

deldotto 2003... made with missouri oak and definitely showing more tightness... all three had lovely pencil box notes o wax and graphite

Jonata Sangre Syrah 2008... beautiful nose that didnt quite show on the palate.. but still pretty

2Hands Ares Australia 2007... rich luscious nose and finish... sweet fruit for sure
