strong QPR. green fruit and mint, with a slightly fuller body than you expect from a pinot. delightful.

thin and unimpressive on this night. overly sweet - almost cloying. bad bottle? the distributor running the tasting said not but hmmm.

2006 Faust Cabernet Sauvignon 90 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley
very full bodied, this wine has that smoke/spice flavor profile I love. love the intense flavors; would have gone higher than 90 if not for short finish.

2007 Spring Valley Vineyard Uriah 91 Points
USA, Washington, Columbia Valley, Walla Walla Valley
complex, and a bit tight - would likely benefit from more time and/or a decant. spicy/peppery flavors with an awesome long finish all over the mouth - very full mouthfeel. My kind of wine!

2007 Clos Pegase Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 91 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley
loved this wine. smoke, spice, and dark fruit with a super long finish. not the WOTN, but certainly the QPR WOTN.

2007 Columbia Crest Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve 89 Points
USA, Washington, Columbia Valley
nice wine, with a mocha/coffee flavor profile which is not my style but certainly will appeal to many. Very long finish.

2006 Joseph Phelps Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley 89 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley
dark and brooding, really tight and a little musty. think decanting would have helped.

2007 Dominus Napanook Red 89 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley
fresh, but a little hot on the nose. beautiful smooth full palate. complex palate - more vegetable than fruit.

2007 Nickel & Nickel Cabernet Sauvignon Vogt Vineyard 91 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley, Howell Mountain
sooooo smooth and luxurious. Mrs. grayfont's WOTN. this one has some nice subtle flavors (dark fruit) but to me it's all about the silky mouthfeel. Really terrific.

2008 Caymus Cabernet Sauvignon 93 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley
My WOTN. the nose is nice, but the palate is out of this world. this wine achieves an intensity of fruit flavors that seems impossible while keeping the luxurious smooth mouthfeel. Lots of wines have this flavor and lots have this mouthfeel, but VERY few have both like this one does. woo-hoo!!!

apple and pear on the nose with a sharp, hard core grapefruit palate.

2007 Lincourt Chardonnay Santa Barbara County 82 Points
USA, California, Central Coast, Santa Barbara County
Is this what it would taste like if the Sour Patch Kids made a wine? 100% sour apple candy, in a quite drinkable (but definitely not my style) kind of wine...

2008 Merryvale Chardonnay Reserve 89 Points
USA, California, Napa / Sonoma, Carneros
apple/pear on the nose. oak/butter wrap around the green fruit on the palate, but not in an overpowering way. nice balance of the oak with the fruit. nice wine.
