Ok Chardonnay but we thought blind it was S.B. Grapefruit and minerals dominate the wine. A little grassy character to boot. Got a little better with time but not something I would buy.
France, Languedoc Roussillon, Languedoc, Corbières
Not bad but drink now. A nose of strawberry and cherry. On the palate cherry, floral, and minerals. A little tannic so pair with some red meat. Good value for under $10.
Drinking well and no oxidation on this one. Citrus, floral, minerals and a clean overall profile. Not the most complex wine but no flaws either. Medium finish. Drink now or hold a few years.
Serious new world Pinot and big. Dark fruits, spice, minerals and floral notes. Concentrated wine and medium to long finish. This should improve with additional time in the cellar.
Almost for sure a top ten wine of the year. Blueberries, bing cherries, coffee beans, earth, leather and minerals are singing on this super complex but integrated wine. Mild/Medium tannins. Medium to long finish and one of the best Bordeaux style blends I have sampled from the US in years. $100 or less buy!
This is why it is good to have a small group so you can go back and retaste. 89 points on the first go around but with some time it opened up with blackberries, spice, minerals and earth. Medium and a real dense wine. Should improve with some cellaring.
Another great Prum with minerals, petrol, peach and tropical fruit. Over time the petrol blew off and the ripe fruits emerged. Medium and full of flavor finish. Drink now and enjoy the ripe fruits or hold for secondary charcter.

Too much floral on this one with some ripe fruits and a bit out of balance. Might go well with ribs.
