Pinnacle imports/ claire gillette

Forman Chardonnay Napa 2012... slight creaminess from sur-lees aging.. trying to hard to NOT be a typical California Chard.. light ml and wants to be a" a racy elegant" wine but I find it a little dull, especially on the back end

Tineta Spain 2012 Ribero del Duero ... my new favorite red...incensce on the nose.. pretty mouthfeel with a long finish of mocha and coffee

K Vintners Milbandt Vineyards Syrah.. 2011.. a very restrained elegant style of syrah from K.. hoping for more texture

The Lackey Shiraz Australia 2012 green new nose  and some nice fruit on the palate... just left a little abruptly

Rossi-Wallace Pinot Noir 2012.. pretty floral on the nose, dried fruit with a slight cocoa hint

Ramey Claret Napa Valley 2012  leaner than expected but I have been exposed to a lot of extracted monsters this week.. seems like its missing something but maybe its just  me..lots of mid palate goings on.
