This is mature and pretty much at peak right now.  Garnet in color with the slightest browning at the rim.  Mostly clear and bright.  The nose is nice with  cherries, slight dried cherries, slight asphalt and dust.  WIth air a bit of dried roses come out.  Medium bodied.  Medium tannins.  On the palate, this has some depth and complexity.  Good acidity.  Flavors of cherries, dried cherries and a bit of dried forest floor.  Long finish.  This is drinking well but really needs food.  It went well with a Truffle Pasta dish.  Drink over the next few years.  

This is a Super Tuscan blend of 60% Sangiovese, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Merlot from Tuscany.  Deep ruby in color, mostly opaque and bright.  The nose has cherries, cassis, slight vanilla, spice and slight mint.  Full bodied.  Medium tannins.  Great acidity.  On the palate, this seems mature but just coming into its own.  Flavors of cherries, cassis, black cherries with a touch of spice and a bit of mint.  Long finish.  This is nice on its own but better with food.  A nice choice for pizza night to be sure.  Drink over the next five to eight years.

Caveat, I tasted this after a few low octane Pinot Noir's, but this seemed to be bigger in style.  Garnet in color with some purple hues.  Mostly opaque and bright.  The nose has black cherries, black raspberries, and a bit of mint.  Full bodied.  Light to medium tannins.  Good acidity.  Plenty of depth.  On the palate, this has some complexity.  Lush black cherries with some black raspberries.   Nice finish.  Tasty.  This drinks well on its own and will work well with most foods.  It would be nice with Grilled Salmon.  Drink over the next ten years.

This is a Pinot noir from Switzerland.  It  is very lightly styled although elegant is perhaps not the right word either.  Pale ruby in color, clear and bright.  The nose is interesting with strawberries, light cherries and a hint of cedar.  Light bodied.  Good acidity.  On the palate, strawberries with slight cherries.  A slight herbal note.  Good finish.  This wine needs food.  Fondue seems appropriate but most soft cheeses would work.  Drink over the next five to eight years.  

This wine was not a huge wine but still much bigger, less austere, than expected (in a good way).  Ruby in color, purple core, mostly clear and bright.  The nose has cherries, slight black cherries, slight cranberries with a nice earthiness to it.  Medium bodied.  Good acidity.  Light tannins.  On the palate, this has depth and complexity.  Flavors of cherries and black cherries with just a bit of tart cherries/cranberries.  Long finish.  This is nice on its own but would be better with food.  It would work well with Roasted Chicken or Duck.  Drink over the next ten to twelve years.
