This was a great night featuring some wines with very high Robert Parker scores: The 2005 Kaesler the Bogan was given 96pts, The Mollydooker Blue-Eyed Boy 96pts, Glaetzer AMON-Ra 97-100pts, The Henry's Drive 97pts, and the Kalleske Greenock 94pts. This was a great opportunity to assess for ourselves where these wines fall for our palates. Wines were generally evaluated as a flight of 4 with the opportunity to revisit the wines through the evening.
All of the main wines showed very well. Scoring was a 3-2-1 pts system for the top 3 wines. The overwhelming WOTN was the 2006 Glaetzer AMON-Ra with 6 of 7 first place votes and 19 of 21 possible points. The Henry's Drive and Kaesler The Bogan were tied for group #2 WOTN with 9 pts each.
This was a wonderful evening and a great format!
2009 Praxis Pinot Noir 87 Points
USA, California, Central Coast, Monterey County
Medium bright red color. Nose is fruity with raspberry, and some cherry and some sublte earth. The palate is light in body, raspberries, some spice, a bit overly acidic. OK, I would not buy.
