Wine Reviews

Light golden in color, clear and bright.  The nose is clean with peaches, a slight chalk note and spice.  Medium to full bodied.  Moderate acidity.  On the palate, this is smooth with some depth.  Flavors of peach with some chalkiness.  Good finish.  Getting close to maturity but may gain some complexity.  This is lovely on its own but probably better with food.  A nice choice with  Sushi.  Drink over the next fine years.  

This is a blend of 40% Marsanne, 30% Ugni blanc, 25% Clairette, and 5% Bourboulenc from Southeast France.  Light golden in color, clear and bright.  A very nice nose of peaches with slight tangerine and a hint of minerality.  Light to Medium bodied.  Good acidity.  On the palate, the peaches come thru with a bit more minerality.  Long finish.  This is a nice, slightly light white but still has some stuffing and seriousness.  Very nice on its own, this will work well with lighter foods or most seafood.  Drink over the next few years but it will probably go longer.  

This is a "Port Style" wine made from Malbec grapes in Argentina.  Even the bottle is a "Port" type bottle.  Purple/blue in color, opaque and shimmering bright.  The nose has aromas of chocolate covered raisins.  Very nice.  Full bodied.  Great texture.  On the palate, black cherries, dark chocolate and slight prunes.  Long finish.  This is delicious on its own and would work nicely with a (dark) chocolate dessert.  18% abv.  

This is a blend of 93% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Carmenère, 2% Syrah, and 2% Petit Verdot.  Purple in color, ruby at the rim, mostly opaque and bright.  The nose is concentrated with black cherries, cranberries and slight sage.  Medium bodied.  Medium tannins.  On the palate, tart cherries with some cranberries.  Good finish.  This is drinking well now and should continue for another five to eight years. it will go well with many foods especially roasted chicken or duck.
