2010 Beringer Vineyards Chardonnay Private Reserve 90 Points
USA, California, Napa Valley
Oak, spices, lemon and minerals. Medium finish. The oak is not fully integrated and this wine should go a few more years. Drink now to 2017.

2011 The Four Graces Pinot Noir Black Family Estate 83 Points
USA, Oregon, Willamette Valley, Dundee Hills
Very light in color and body. Cranberry, earth and subtle spices. Thin on the palate and short finish. For the price a pass.

2008 J Vineyards & Winery Pinot Noir Robert Thomas Russian River Valley 85 Points
USA, California, Sonoma County, Russian River Valley
Overripe offering with Carmel, spices and wafer. Not real balanced but drinkable. Too expensive for the quality.

2005 Bodegas y Viñedos de la Marquesa Rioja Valserrano Gran Reserva 87 Points
Spain, La Rioja, La Rioja Alavesa, Rioja
Young and needs some time. Oak dominated and tannic. Some fruit is trying to emerge but maybe in five years one would revisit this wine.

2003 Casanova di Neri Brunello di Montalcino 90 Points
Italy, Tuscany, Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino
Funk, leather and earth. Chewy tannins and a little herbal on the finish. In a good spot right now but could age a few more years.

2001 Tenute Cisa Asinari dei Marchesi di Grésy Barbaresco Martinenga 89 Points
Italy, Piedmont, Langhe, Barbaresco
Dried fruits, perfume and spices. Medium finish and on its last leg. Does not have the concentration and tannins to go another five years.

2006 Ramey Cabernet Sauvignon Calistoga 92 Points

My second favorite wine of the night. Spices, jam, coffee and floral notes. Complex and long finish. Should age another five to ten years. Solid wine.

2006 Rosenblum Cellars Syrah Reserve Kick Ranch 93 Points
USA, California, Sonoma County
Last bottle and showed really well. My wine of the night. Dark in color and amazing balance to this wine. Blueberries, spices, cherries and earth. Medium plus finish and great concentration. One of the best under $25 wines I have ever purchased.

2003 Long Shadows Wineries Syrah Sequel 91 Points
USA, Washington, Columbia Valley
Not showing as well as previous bottles. Light fruits, spices and minerals. Will revisit on day 2 to see if there is any improvement.
Day 2 review. More concentrated and showing darker fruits such as blueberries, black cherries and blackberries. Medium plus finish and balanced. Exotic spices on the finish. Hold for a few years or heavy decant. 91 plus

2008 Pride Mountain Vineyards Syrah 86 Points
USA, California, Sonoma County
This is not doing anything to help me like pride. Spices, medicinal and earth. While some Rhone characters appear there it lacks structure.
