Flight 1 (2 notes)
White
2012 Wind Gap Wines Chardonnay James Berry
Steely, slightly creamy texture, bitter orange, medium finish; tasted blind and was uncertain between a more modernist Burg or Napa. Good.
Flight 2 (2 notes)
Red
2010 Domaine de L'Ameillaud Cairanne
Cherry, herbal, some pleasant green notes; my notes said "like a cab-franc/Rhone blend." Tasted blind, and for the money, this is terrific. Very good.
Red
2011 Domaine La Garrigue Côtes du Rhône Cuvée Romaine
Deep ruby color. Slightly spritzy on open? Tasted blind, but clearly Rhone, and a big Rhone. Very ripe. Big. Deep, rich blackberry. Good.
Flight 3 (3 notes)
Red
1993 Edmunds St. John Syrah
On open, this seemed a bit off/weird, with a hint of iodine. With time, dark, pure fruit emerged.
Red
2011 Edmunds St. John Syrah Fenaughty
Medium purple; Brambly, berry; tingly tannin; very pretty; quite young. Good.

White - Off-dry
2012 Willi Schaefer Graacher Himmelreich Riesling Spätlese
Chalky; lime and clementine. Yummy Schaefer goodness.
White - Off-dry
2012 Willi Schaefer Graacher Domprobst Riesling Spätlese
Rich; apricot and pear. Tasted blind, and I said "I think this Schaefer, but I'm not sure." and got not credit (for hedging). Has the ripe, unapologetic, Schaefer joie de vivre.
