Terra Rouge Easton/Garco/ Terance Livingston

Location in the state of California (Photo credit: Wikipedia)Wineries located mostly in the non glamorous parts of the california wine country.
Easton Sauv Blanc 2009 Sierra Foothills Very herbal lots of texture, almost thick. coating the tongue.. lots of things going on here but not necessarily subtle..

Terra Rouge Enigma 2008 Sierra Foothills  ...rhone varietals in california. I have never really cared for this wine from  the earliest time I remember.. not that the wine isnt well made, I have found I do not care for these varietals young. marsanne and roussanne in particular, show for me, better with some age. very golden yellow in color viscous and a little green olive on the palate that I am sure will turn into a more honeyed character as it ages.

H House Wine Easton 2008.. cab and syrah blend. juicy and spicy, not a wimpy wine lots of color and extraction

terra Rouge Tete a Tete Sierra Foothills a grenache syrah mourvedre blend.. juicy and very fruit forward.. not subtle again. almost chunky

Terre ROuge Les Cotes de l'ouest.. my nose is happy in this wine... palate was not as much but still tasty.. again with the chunky almost meaty nature.. dark and dense.. very enjoyable for the money though

Easton Zinfandel Amador County 2009.. light garnet color, bright red fruit.. juicy and supple some pepper but not too much briar

Terra Rouge Sentinel Oak Syrah 2002..yes 2002 and it was dark and brooding..still could have rested for many years.. again the beautiful fall, barnyard nose. lots of texture on the palate.coffee and tar on the finish...
