2011 Martín Códax Albariño Rías Baixas Burgáns

8/18/2013 - dsjutah Likes this wine: 88 points

First off, know that I love Albarino.

This wine comes with a screwcap - which I don't mind. Color is bright lemon in hue with flashes of green. Flavors of pear, white peach, red apple and nectarine combine with herbal citrus note on the finish. Crisp, lively and dry. Well-balanced with a creamy honey mouthfeel.

Citrus and floral on the nose, great acidity and floral flavors, with melon, citrus and vegetal flavors. Well balanced and great structure for the price.

red berries, fruit, some earth on the nose. Tannins were tight at fist opening, but poured with aerator and allowed to open softened up quite nicely. Fruit, red berry flavors with nice mouthfeel. Moderate finish. Great QPR for CA cabernet.

A big, fruity and jammy wine, but not a total fruit bomb. Has some acidity and tannin to balance it out. Nice mouthfeel, very drinkable.

On the nose, black fruit, smoke, mocha, some spice. Medium body, nice fruit and tannin balance, with a medium finish. Thinner mouthfeel than I remember.

2007 Geyser Peak Cabernet Sauvignon

Alexander Valley more

2/17/2013 - dsjutah Likes this wine: 85 points

A decent Cabernet Sauvignon; but an 85 is fair. I understand the 2008 was much better. Black currant and strawberry on the nose, with a little bit of earth. Supple tannins, mineral flavors, with enough acidity. For the price, a good entry level Cab.

Very drinkable everyday wine. Dark fruits (blueberry, black currant), fruit forward, but not a bomb. Soft mouthfeel. Opens up well. Medium finish.

Nothing special. Grocery store Cab. Not bad for the price, nothing memorable or interesting about it.

A pretty pedestrian, "typical" California Chardonnay. I like them less flabby, boring.

A tart and relatively dry option with fruity hints of citrus, nectarine, and apple; a harsh edge kept me from liking this one As much as others.

Very dark garnet color. Dark cherry aroma over a faint meaty aroma. Cranberries and dark cherry flavors of subtle but noticeable acid. Very light tannins, sky mouthfeel. Medium finish. Great for light meat dishes - I paired it with a roasted chicken and rout vegetables.

Deep ruby color, a bit tannic, yet fruity (but not in an entirely pleasant way). A little disappointing for a Malbec. Perhaps I've had it too long?
