1/23/2008 - thomasme wrote: 88 pointsMedium purple color, very nice balance of acidity and fruit, varietal barnyard stink with tastes of cherry and strawberry. Looking forward to tasting through remaining bottles over time, good price/quality ratio, somewhat short finish kept rating below outstanding. |

2004 Walter Hansel Winery Chardonnay Cuvée AlyceRussian River Valley more |
8/18/2007 - thomasme wrote: 69 pointsUndrinkable. Horrible aroma and taste of rotten meat upon opening. Heavily oaked and alcoholic. No fruit revealed over three hours of airing, only oak and alcohol. Rotten-like taste still there after night in the fridge. Wish I could say that this bottle was flawed or defective, but I don't think so, just bad. Buyer beware. |

2004 Praxis Viognier Lodimore |
7/22/2007 - thomasme wrote: 85 pointsDrank with dinner with P, B and T, not as flavorful as the 2005 Treana Mer Soleil viognier-roussillion blend in food pairing of Chinese-style miso-mushroom soup and ginger pineapple chicken stir fry. Lighter and aromatic in style. |

7/22/2007 - thomasme wrote: 88 pointsDrank with dinner with P, B and T, outshone the 2004 Praxis Viognier Lodi in food pairing of Chinese style miso soup and ginger-pineapple chicken stir-fry. Vibrant balance of fruit and acidity, lychee flavors with medium finish. Nice bottle. |

1999 Foris Cabernet-Merlot Klipsun VineyardRed Mountain Red Bordeaux Blend more |
7/20/2007 - thomasme wrote: 91 pointsKenmore cellared, opened three hours prior to serving. 57% merlot, 43% cabernet. Deep purple color, harmonious balance of fruit and tannin, with plum and chocolate flavors. Long finish. Drinking beautifully now and should last a bit longer. Highly recommended. |

2004 Mount Eden Vineyards Chardonnay Saratoga CuvéeSanta Cruz Mountains more |
7/18/2007 - thomasme wrote: 92 pointsKenmore cellared since purchase, drank this gem over dinner of portabella pasta and spinach salad with thirty minutes aeration. Big wine with fruit and acidity in dynamic balance. Varietal character enhanced with flavors of green apple, cream soda and butterscotch with long, 30 second, finish. May still improve but certainly enjoyable now. Highly recommended. |
