2013 Wattle Creek Pinot Noir
USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley
Beautiful nose of red cherry, spice, black tea, but much less interesting on the palate. Fairly light bodied. Good.

2013 Wattle Creek "The Triple Play"
USA, California, Sonoma County
Syrah/Viognier cofermented, blended with Petite Sirah. Very fruit forward and likely would be quite popular at a party; silky, very approachable, red and black fruit. Pretty good.

2012 Wattle Creek Shiraz

Excellent, fragrant nose of smoke, black cherry, herbs, eucalyptus. Very fine tannin and medium-minus acid. Not a lot of structure but yummy. Good to very good.

2012 Wattle Creek Kristine's Cuvée
USA, California, North Coast, Yorkville Highlands
Unsure if this is the right bottling, but it was a 2012 blend of Petit Verdot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Malbec. Herbs, cherry, low structure, but a preponderance of VA. Tasting attendant agreed and opened a second bottle which was equally plagued by VA.

2013 Wattle Creek Cabernet Sauvignon Vintage Select
USA, California, Sonoma County, Alexander Valley
Rich. Very approachable but plentiful tannin. Very nice texture. Not loads of complexity, but a good, big wine. Good.

Red fruit, chocolate. Lots of light, dusty, tingly tannin. Good acid. Very nice structure. Long finish. Quite good. My favorite of the reds.

2014 Wattle Creek Grenache
USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley
Very bright, and with loads of structure. Brighter red fruit (cherries, strawberries, cranberries), great acidity. Very good.

Flight 3 (3 Notes)
2014 Wattle Creek Kristine's Cuvée Wattle Creek Winery
USA, California, Sonoma County
Huge, amazingly complex and beautiful nose of flowers, tropical fruits, and honeysuckle. Certainly prepares one for a sweet, or at least off dry, wine, but the palate is dry, crisp, with nice acidity. Interesting, very nice wine.

NV Wattle Creek Sparkling Shiraz
USA, California
2016 disgorgement. Bacon and bacon fat on the nose. Nothing on the nose speaks of a sparkling wine. Admittedly, I expected (and perhaps wanted) to hate this, but with an open mind, admit it is very nice, and quite unique.

2014 Wattle Creek Muscat Canelli
USA, California, North Coast, Mendocino
Ripe tropicals, with a pleasant nose and attack, but the palate is simple and overly sweet. OK.

NV JCB Crémant de Bourgogne Brut Rosé No 69
France, Burgundy, Crémant de Bourgogne
Really nice, pretty attack, but falls off quickly with little finish. Not bad for $20ish.

2015 Wattle Creek Rosé
USA, California, North Coast, Yorkville Highlands
The nose showed very little, as it was served quite cold, but revealed some greener tropical fruits. On the palate, tart red berries and some tropical notes. Very pleasant. Good.
