Steve Grass/ Pali Wines/ Missouri Beverage

Pali makes mostly Pinot Noir from different growing regions on the west coast.

2011 Bluffs Pinot Noir Russian River Valley... soft and silky, almost too much so... fruit is great and this is my favorite of the ones tried today.. Lots of silky tannin and long finish..

2011 Huntington Pinot Noir Santa Barbara smoky, a bit of green tea.. elegant finish

2011 Alphabets Willamette valley Pinot Noir acidity and lots of it.. mid palate tannins are very aggresive. a little rough edges on the finish..

2011 Charms Chardonnay Sonoma Coast  very creamy from stirring of lees, no ml.. soft oak influence... pleasant

2010 Tower 15 The Swell Bordeaux Blend .. showing better than last year. this starts a little stinky... but the jammy palate soon takes over. strong flavors of vanilla and cherry carry through to the finish
