Double blind. Pale color. Quite floral and pretty with citrus, cherry and white currant underneath. Flavors of rose water, currants and citrus with bright, lifted acidity. My favorite of the lineup.

Double blind. Aromas of melon, florals and clay. Clay and red berry fruit on the palate. With air the floral elements seem to stand out a bit more. Good underlying acidity. Quite nice.

Double blind, darkest of the first three. Simple bouquet of generic red berry fruit. Sour on the palate; weird and undrinkable.

Our host, being disappointed by the first three, pulled the cork on this wine and gave me a wink- no doubt as to what he was opening. Dark ruby color with notes of wild strawberry and spice. No doubt that this was a Lewis vin gris.

Blind. Dark fruit, plum and subtle herb and earth undertones. Full-bodied with medium tannins and flavors of macerated dark berry fruit and earth. Has a plushness to it. I am usually not a fan of Pomerols but this was quite good. Plenty of life left. This had been double decanted off its sediment 90 minutes before the flight was poured.

Double blind. Vanilla, currant and chocolate aromas. Full-bodied, with medium tannin and flavors of chocolate and black fruit. Balanced, with a nice finish. Guessed 2012 Napa cab sauv. (R&D)

Double blind. Initially somewhat nondescript, this took some time in the glass to open. Black fruit dominates. (SS)

Double blind. Black fruit, herb and earthy notes. Medium-bodied, with flavors of black fruit and chocolate. Lingering finish. Excellent. (J&L)

Blind. Currants, leather and lavender. Soft tannins. Abundant dark plummy fruit on the palate. Holding nicely.

Double blind. Juicy and perfumed, with black fruit and lifted floral notes. Flavors of black fruit and brown sugar with soft tannins. Very enjoyable, if not very franc-like. (SS)

Double blind. Aromas of black raspberry, herbs and currants. Full-bodied with a abundance of black fruit on the palate. Balanced and pure- easily my WOTF. Huge surprise to see a Bordeaux unveiled though- I think we all thought this was domestic- but still an excellent wine. (J&S)

Double blind. Lighter color than other in the flight, with a nose of red berry fruit and spice. The palate mirrors the bouquet, picking up a subtle sourness as well. Good. (J&L)

Double blind. Opaque inky color. Abundant black fruit on the nose and palate. Spice, pepper, brown sugar and meaty elements. Firm. Guessed petite. (R&D)

Double blind. Clay, dark berry fruit and herbs. Lush and velvety, with mixed red and black fruit, earth and herb qualities. Lingering finish. Excellent. (J&S)

From magnum. Red berry fruit, cherry and white currant notes. Displays a soft herbal edge with air. Medium-bodied. Red fruit, herb and spice flavors. Very nice. (R&D)

Light golden color. Pineapple and dried apricot. Picks up a spice note in the finish. Very nice.
