wines with robert noecker and garco

Gundlach Bundschu Chard 2009  estate grown.. almost a 180 in style from past vintages.. creamy texture but much more mineral less of the oak and butterscotch.

Gun Bun Pinot Noir 2009 Sonoma Coast  loads of dried fruit.. from heritage clones and dijon clones. long weight on the palate.. very tannic.. almost too much

Gun Bun Merlot 2008.. juicy and lush.. ripe fruit.. round broad flavors. a blend with Cab and Cab Franc..

Amancaya 2010 Argentina  a Malbec Cabernet Sauvignon Blend.. showing lots of fruit and maybe due to the heat not finding a lot of acidity..

Heaven on Earth  Dessert wine from Stellar out of South Africa. dried on mats with tea.. some minerality and sweet.. probably with chenin blanc and Muscat d Alexandria.. soft viscosity.. light stone fruits... pretty and food friendly dessert wine
