This is a Spanish wine made from Tinto Fino which is the local name from Tempranillo.  It was good to try another bottle as the first was badly corked.  This was very nice if a bit young.  Deep ruby in color.  The nose has cherries, black cherries, dust and cedar.  On the palate, this has medium tannins.  Bold cherry flavor with underlying char.  Good balance.  Nice finish.  It should continue to evolve for the next five years or so and be good for at least a decade after that.  It will go well with foods on the grill.  

A very pretty Rosé from the heart of Provence.  52% Grenache, 23% Syrah, 14% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Cinsault, and 3% Rolle.  Salmon pink in color.  The nose is nice with cherries, slight floral and strawberries.  On the palate, this is dry.  Slightly viscous.  Nice strawberry fruit.  Good acidity.  Nice finish.  This won't drink better than this but should be good for another year.  It goes well with lighter food and salads.  Great value.  

This is a great value in red wine.  It is mostly Grenache from the Southern Rhone Valley.  Deep ruby in color.  The nose has cherries, slight floral notes, garrique and slight salinity.  On the palate, this is medium bodied.  Bright cherry flavors with a bit of minerality.  Some depth and complexity.  Good finish.  This is very food friendly, it should go well at the table with a wide variety of foods.  It probably does not improve but should be good for another 5 to 7 years.  

This is 85% Cabernet Sauvignon and 15% Merlot.  If you are looking for a Cab that is under $40, this may be your ticket.  Purple in color with some ruby swirls.  The nose has cassis, tobacco, slight milk chocolate and spice.  On the palate, this is full bodied.  Plenty of cassis and cherries, a bit of tobacco earthiness and a good dollop of oak.  Medium tannins.  Medium finish.  This could use another couple of years to allow the oak time to integrate.  If it does, this will merit another couple of points.  Drinking today is still nice if a more difficult food match.  

Light golden in color.  The nose has some flint along with a lemon/lime note.  On the palate, this is crisp although slightly sweet.  Some lemon candy.  Also a bit of salinity on the finish.  Short finish.  This is a solid Chablis which probably should be consumed in the next three to five years.  

Light golden in color.  The nose has minerals, smoke, slight gun powder and plenty of peachces.  On the palate, there is a sour lemon quality that is very nice.  Clean with lots of energy.  This is a round wine but the energy replaces some of the acidity.  Nice finish.  Drinking well now, it should last for anothr five to seven years.  

This was oxidized.  It's hard to say Pre-Mox since it is 17 years old, but this should not have been in this shape.  It had been purchased a decade or so ago and well stored since then.  Deep gold in color.  The nose is slightly oxidized, but not quite to a "sherry" level.  On the palate, there is some lime fruit and a bit of butterscotch.  But it is oxidized more than the nose.  Perhaps still a bit drinkable but why?  White Burgundy issues have extended into some Chablis wines, but it's hard to say that is what happened here.  This seems more of a less than great cork and a 17 year old Cha

This was the surprise of the Chablis tasting.  My first time trying this winery.  It was my #2 WOTN and the group's #1.  Yellow/gold in color.  The nose has a nice flinty quality along with green apples.  On the palate, this has a slightly oily texture.  Great acidity.  Tart apple fruit over a chalky base.  Also a bit of lemons.  Long finish.  This should drink well for a decade more.  It will go great with sea food or lighter salads.  Certainly a winery that I need to explore further.  

Medium golden in color.  The nose has green apples with a slight chalkiness.  On the palate, there is a slight gun powder note with tart lemons.  Plush texture.  Slightly yeasty.  Is this barrel fermented?  An interesting take on Chablis that I very much enjoyed.  Seemed to be love or hate it at the table.  It does seem a bit advanced for its age.  If this bottle was representative, it probably should be consumed in the next five years.  

Silvery/green/gold in color.  The nose has gun powder, slight lemons on a medium intensity nose.  On the palate, this has a slick texture.  Chalk and minerals with slight green apple flavors.  Good acidity.  Nice finish.  Drinking well now and a bit leaner (in a good way) than many of the 2015's.  It should be good drinking for at least the next decade.  It should go well with seafood and lighter salads.
