Double blind. Grass, white fruit and lemon notes. Citrus and acid palate; medium finish. Guessed sauv blanc.

Double blind. Aromas of citrus, mineral and florals. Crisp and focused; bright acidity. Guessed pinot blanc.

Double blind. Very tropical bouquet- coconut and banana- perhaps even lychee. An odd mix and it's throwing me off a bit. More tropical fruit on the palate. Medium finish. Develops a strong floral quality. Was leaning toward viognier but didn't really have a guess here.

Double blind. Ruby color. Notes of red pinot fruit, cinnamon and clove. Cherry,raspberry and warm spice flavors on the palate. Fairly obvious oak. My initial thiught was Santa Barbara County pinot, but I guessed Sonoma Coast.

Double blind. Deep garnet core with just the slightest bit of bricking beginning to show. Graphite, red fruit, iron and tobacco notes. Has some tannin to integrate yet. Red fruit, rare beef, dark druit and earth on the palate. Balanced. Long finish. Guessed Pauillac.

Double blind. Faded garnet color with notes of brambly red fruit and spice- almost peppery- somewhat zin-like at first. The bambly red fruit even follows through on the palare, aling with raspberry and herb qualities. Changes quite a bit in the glass, losing the brambleberry in favor of currant and red plum, even adding a subtle iodine note in the bouquet. more than a few of us ended up thinking this was Bordeaux. 91-92 pts.

Single blind. Dark fruit notes, a touch of cinnamon and tea leaf, a touch hot. I suspect this is one of the Kistlers we opened. On the full side of medium-bodied. Dark pinot fruit and spice flavors. I initially rated this a little higher, but there's a subtle hint of soy that I'm not liking here. Very good, but not great, and yeah, easy to pick out as one of our Kistlers. This had been double decanted off its sediment about 1.75 hrs before the flight was poured.

Double blind. Clay, raspberry, dark berry fruit and dill. Shows a bit hot on the palate. Red fruit and berry flavors with a lengthy finish. Turns more ripe and plummy as it sits, and the dill note starts to overwhelm. I assumed this was a Silver Oak cab sauv.

Single blind. Ruby color. Cherry and spice notes follow through on the palate. Really nice fruit here. Long finish; balanced. Lovely. Drink over the next 2-3 years. This had been double decanted off its sediment about 2.25 hrs before the flight was poured.

Double blind. Notes of cherry cough syrup with red berry fruit and plum. Ther's also a hint of something chemical/plastic. Iron, red currant and oak spice flavors. Meh.

Double blind. Dark color. Aromas of black fruit, dill and buttered popcorn. Red and black fruit on the palate with nice underlying acidity, but also quite austere.

Double blind. Aromas of red fruit, iron and tobacco. Lovely Bordeaux nose. Medium-bodied, with a nice tannin structure for the fruit that's here. Red fruit, earth and iron. Long finish. Balanced. Lovely. I assumed this was another '05 Bordeaux.

Double blind. Vanilla, herb and red fruit, turning more ripe, almost jammy, as it sits. Mixed fruit, vanilla and oak. No guess.

Double blind. Dusty ruby color. Currant, pepper and spice notes. Red fruit and cherry; rather noticeable acidity. Chateauneuf crossed my mind but I guessed pinot.

Double blind. Deep opaque inky color. Brown sugar and black fruit notes. More of the same on the palate. Firm tannin. Good for the style, but not my cup of tea.

Double blind. Cranberry, spice and red fruit notes. On the palate this is thin, disjointed and acidic. No guess.

Double blind. Bouillon and red berry fruit notes. Red fruit on the palate, highly acidic. Meh.
