February 9, 2012 - This wine had a chemical taste to it. It did not go bad, it just tasted wrong. Sorry NY, I am not a fan!

June 7, 2009 - Barnyard nose. High toned and a little thin with chalky, acidic finish. Lacks a depth of body and a midpalate punch. Some herbal notes.

1/6/2009 (link) 2 out of 5 stars(Channing Daughters Winery Rosso Fresco) This wine, Channing Daughters 2007 Rosso Fresco ($18) is a blend of 80% merlot, 14% syrah, 2% blaufrankisch, 2% cabernet franc and 2% dornfelder. It's the second vintage for this wine, which replaced the "Fresh Red" merlot (called Fred by fans). I didn't love the 2006 and I don't love this one either. The nose is interesting and unqiue with oak aromas mingling with smoke, grilled meat and earthy notes, but there is very little fruit character here at all. A medium-bodied palate houses flavors of earth, smoke, spice with a little red cherry, but low tannins and acidity leave it a bit soft for my tastes. A bit more acid would really help.
