laird family napa/ appellations

2012 laird sauvignon blanc oak knoll grassy nos that follows through... true grapefruit not the steroid version from new zealand..

2010 Laird Cold Creek Chardonnay Carneros.. smoky toasty nose, butter yellow color but not a butter bomb on the palate.. a little restrained there.. nice finish

2012 Laird Ghost Ranch Pinot Noir Carneros.. not my favorite.. some nice fruit on the front but the end was a little tar and mushroomy

2010 Laird Cabernet Sauvignon Yountville dark fruit.. long finish.. lots of grip and structure on the palate.. this is the kind of cab that is worth twice the price

2010 Suscol Ranch Syrah Napa  dark color extraction.. coffee and pepper on the nose and spices on the finish but not the bacon meatiness I was hoping for
