2007 Gorman Winery Syrah The Pixie

This wine was certainly worth the effort to bring home from Seattle Washington. Paired nicely with a peppercorn marinated Rib Eye Steak. Lush dark fruit aromatics, lots of blackberry and boisenberry. Full bodied with nice creamy mouthfeel along with a touch of acidity holding the wine together. Not over the top by any means but still super rich. For my palate and the way this wine tasted last night certainly a 93+ for me so I will just give it a 94 because I will search it out again.

2008 Turley Zinfandel Cedarman

Quintessentially Zinfandel at its finest. Aromas of Briar Patch, cinnamon and plum notes. Full mid palate and very smooth. Not hot at all which is great. Just pure full bodied zinfandel fruit. Huge flavor up front so you don’t necessarily get as much of a finish. I could drink a lot of this.

Wonderful minerality and slattiness (sp?) with nice tropical notes. Just a wonderful balance of fruit and acidity. Tasting notes are quite vague because I had with tapas last night but the wine paired perfectly with everything ordered. Paella, scallop ceviche and even a mushroom & artichoke salad. Highly recommend this wine. I was very fortunate because the waitress actually brought us the incorrect bottle but this was a great surprise.
