van potts/ vintegrity

Ca'Furian Prosecco NV xtra dry version. doesnt have the slight burnt flavor on the finish. more complex on the palate. nice

Jacquart Blanc de Blancs 2006  great price for a vintage blanc de blanc.. toasty on the palate.. slight mocha and cocoa notes on the finish.. delicate

Jacquart Brut Mosaique NV chard/ pinot noir/pinot meunier blend.. earthy yeasty nose, a little bland on the palate

Jacquart Rose NV mostly pinot noir. a waxy crayola aroma on the nose.. not showing much as much weight as I thought it would.

Baaz Cabernet Sauvignon Napa 2011... the declassified Barlow for the vintage. sawdust on the nose, very juicy... black plum... as I notice through all of these wines there seems to be a hiaragher level of fruit extraction

Barlow Merlot Napa 2009  ripe nose, coffee and tar on the tobacco.. juicy

Barlow Barrouge Napa 2009  a blend with mostly cab, not overly tannic and lush

Barlow Cabernet Sauvignon 2009 a little more rustic on the palate.. following the high fruit profile... maybe a little clunkier than the others.. could use some time to smooth out the rough edges
