major brands crush craig

2011 La Croix Gratiot Picpoul de Pinet the chablis of the south.. Picpoul is one of the southern rhone white darlings.. this does not disappoint.. its a little creamy but lots of minerality and just a touch of citrus.  Going to have this at our holiday tasting

2009 Chateau Virgile Cuvee l'Eneide Costieres de Nimes  the blend of grapes I usually like but this young vine effort seemed to be missing something.. maybe age.. but the nose was the disappointing part, there was pleasant fruit and mocha finish... but the nose lost me

Sandhi Santa Barbara Chardonnay 2009.. light pineapple.. lots of fruit on the palate activity..
