Image of grapes in Sauternes affected with noble rot. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)french wines todayTranquillitie Rose 2011.. 100% grenache blanc.. beautiful salmon color.. strawberry nose and juicy fruit.. great for my rose tree
Douce Vie Cotes du Provence 2011 rose... same pretty salmon color but a little lighter in body and boring
Cuvee des Quatro Vents Blanc 2010 Cotes de Blaye de Bordeaux.. mostly sauv blanc with semillon.. surprisinly sweet but with lots of acidity.. not hardly herbal but not bad
Cuvee Quatro Rouge 2010.. a little boring.. and very green on the nose.. fruit not bad but some of the green comes through on the finish
Domaine Tranquillitie Rouge.. 2006. a touch earthy.. some juice but missing something in the middle
domaine d'oustric 2009 a blend of bordeaux and rhone grapes.. french stink on the nose .. and a little disjointed. chunky on the finish
Si mon pere savait cotes de roussillon 2007.. juicy bright fruit up front but not much after
Sauternes de ma fille 2006.. golden yellow.. but missing the traditional nose.. a little sweet.. very thick palate.. not even viscous.. it was thick.hints of some of the traditional flavors but you really have to search them out
