88 points
Fruit explosion on the nose and in the mouth. Skittles and black pepper. Easy drinking with zippy finish.
Red
2007 Domaine Sainte Leocadie Minervois Cuvée Leukadios
78 points
Not feeling this one at all....sparked some great conversation though. Very funky nose of deli counter, hot dog, and feet. Very little fruit in the mouth with more of the funk. Weird, weird wine. Pass.
Red
2006 Robert Hall Rhone De Robles
86 points
Mute nose with some pepper and spice. Sour cherry fruit in the moth. Not impressed....thin with short finish. Not a great QPR at $20.
Red
2005 Alain Jaume Lirac Clos de Sixte
89 points
Jammy plum on the nose and in the mouth. Vibrant fruit on the mid-palate. Balanced with bold tannins. Definitely letting the other bottle sit.
Red
2005 Tallulah Syrah Shake Ridge Ranch
91 points
Interesting nose of raw meat and blackberry fruit. Great mid-palate with more amazing fruit. Very balanced with a long finish. Favorite of the night.
Red
2006 Kangarilla Road Shiraz Viognier
Consistent with previous notes (90). More red fruit this time around. Floral elements with baking spice on the nose. Love the fruit in the mouth...touch of oak. Nice finish.
