Mas Neuf 06

Tradition Blanc
Costieres de Nimes (Rhone)
65% White Grenache, 35% Roussanne

One of the best whites I've had in a while. Wonderful bouquet of flowers and spice. Medium body. Very complex for an 06.

I'd certainly buy again - and will.

Nobilo SB

07, Marlborough

refreshing, zippy, easy to drink - great for the warm day which I drank it. Citrus and some slight gunflint - Also, stayed well in the fridge - 3 days later. Would buy again.

Fetzer Gewurztraminer

My all-time favorite cheap white has done it again. This vintage seems as good as last years.

Lovely apricot bouquet. Zippy acidity and a slight effervescence balances the very fruity wine off nicely. Some subtle spices finish it off.

ahh...

Marques de Casa Conha Merlot

04. Concha y Toro. D.O. Peumo - Chile

Not an overly fragrant nose - certainly some black fruits and oaky scents...toasty. Very dark color, blackberries and tar aroma. Not very well balanced, and it finishes with pretty strong tannins. It's a powerful wine that needs a strong dish (steak, lamb). A bit too overbearing for my friday afternoon glass but I'd love to try it with a real meal.

Hook & Ladder Zinfandel

04. Russian River.

Fantastic Zin. Don't remember the details - but I really liked it.

Red Truck

05 California Red Wine (Sonoma). Syrah, PS, CF, Mourvedre

Delicious. I really liked this wine (it was cheap - don't remember how much though). Ripe berries and a spicy bouquet. Great texture and firm tannins.

Definitely repurchase. Great buy

Eagle's Domain Chardonnay

Russian River, 06.

rich texture, but bland flavor. wouldn't repurchase
