The color is beautiful ruby. Hot on the nose with not much intensity of aroma: rock, stewed cherry, anise. Fresh acidity but the alcohol is out of balance. Dry tannins. Wet stone, garrigue, earth, cedar, cherry jam but not much fruit. This wine is out of balance.

Willamette Valley more

1/10/2015 - winerd wrote: NR

The wine looks garnet colored. The legs are medium. There is no sediment in the bottle. It smells like forest floor, cherry and tobacco. Flavors of licorice on the palate with richness. Slightly hot, but not pronounced. The body is medium/full. The wine has polished texture. The wine finishes medium. The wine has high acidity.

I have loved the JK Carriere Chardonnays, but have found that they do not age well.

Beautiful expression of Oregon Pinot Noir. More masculine, with dark red fruits than the Antoinette. Drinking well now, but could cellar for another 10 years.

Opaque purple color. Bright.
Nose is alcoholic, with prune, eucalyptus, anise, blackberry, blueberry, and cedar.
Full-bodied with lively acidity, medium tannins. Flavors are blueberry, blackberry, black currant, cedar, plu, fig jam. Alcoholic bite on a long finish.
I want to like this wine, but nose and finish are too alcoholic. Some reductive notes.

2005 Clos de Gamot Cahors

1/9/2012 - winerd Likes this wine: NR

Dark ruby, clear. Nose is lacking, tight, somewhat alcoholic ( could be my cold). Jammy, dark red fruits (bing cherries, tayberries, overripe stewed strawberries, dark plums and prunes); wood (cedar, toasty oak); garrigue herbaceousness on the palate. Tannic.
That said, I kept tasting and enjoying this wine, for it's old world qualities.

This wine is a bit past it's expiry date. For the money, and if drunk in time, a very good value. Diesel, honey, pear, and the acid to back it up. This bottle somewhat oxidized.

Beautiful deep ruby-plum color, nearly opaque in center and very bright. Plum, blackcurrant, cherry, on nose, with vanilla-cedar, tobacco, and some herbal and violet notes. On the palate, very grippy and tight on opening. Tastes of cherry, blackberry, plum, black pepper, leather and some mint and fig. Needs more time in the bottle to smooth out.

This wine has very little nose for a riesling and a bitterness on the back. Disappointing from this winery I've heard good things about.

2005 Eagle Haven Madeleine Angevine

Puget Sound more

2/24/2008 - winerd wrote: 84 points

This is my first experience with this varietal and I found it to be like a cross between a sauvignon blanc and a riesling. On the nose is both citrus and hay. The mouthfeel is round and full with good acid. Lots of green apple and grapefruit on the palate. Nice finish of some grassiness. This is an easy sipper, good with Asian-inspired cuisine (star anise, white pepper). Some sweetness on the palate though I don't believe there is residual sugar. An interesting wine.

This was a great value for the price. Lots of aroma and excellent mouth feel. Very food friendly and great with salmon in beurre blanc herb sauce (made with the same wine). A full-bodied white I would buy lots more of at this price.
