Mendocino Wine Company Gregg Carrozza/ Major brands Cellar selections

First of all, they had a line of wines called 50 shades of grey...White and Red Silk.. didnt try.. wont try... in 3 years no one would probably remember them and they would be in the close out bin for $2.99

Parducci Mendocino County Chardonnay 2012.. traditional typical cali chard... with a little roughness around the finish..

Parducci Merlot Mendocino County 2011.. candied fruit nose that carries all the way.. not terrible but

True Grit Cabernet Sauvignon 2010 light tannins, and some red fruit... named after the movie i am guessing

Moniker Chardonnay 2012... much better.. round without being heavy.. subtle without being boring

Moniker Pinot Noir woodsy and rustic.. not showing a lot of fruit

Moniker Cabernet Sauvignon slightiodine pencil lead on the nose, tannins noticeable not severe. lighter style mid palate ok but not a long finish
