2004 Zonnebloem PinotageStellenbosch more |
12/29/2008 - skiffman wrote: 92 pointsVery complex and interesting.... Nose: Apple cider and raisins. Notes of cherry, dark chocolate early, with tobacco on the mid palette and finished with orange and cranberry. Great wine. I wish I had more of this vintage. I just purchased 2 of the 2006, so I will have to wait and see if it is similar. |

2004 Cline Cellars Syrah Cool Climate Sonoma Coastmore |
1/15/2007 - skiffman wrote: 86 pointsPleasant wine.... Had this next to Guenoc's 2003 Petite Syrah. This wine had aromas of cherries and alcohol, the first blast of flavor was boysenberry and spice (cloves?) and was well balanced on the finish with a cranberry tartness. If we have a choice with the Cline and Guenoc side by side.... we would choose the Guenoc. |

1/2/2007 - skiffman wrote: 85 pointsThis is a okay Ausy blend. Not as much fruit as we expected. Had a slight citrus tartness at the start and finish that seemed to hide the fruit. Mellow tannins and overall a decent wine. Besides I love the sharks on the bottle!! |

12/29/2006 - skiffman wrote: 87 pointsHad this with our lasagna dinner. Matched well with dinner, should have listened to the everybody about the decanting. It was slightly vinegary at the start, but after a while in the glass it mellowed and had a nice fruit flavor. Short finish. We would drink it again. |
