2006 Cristom Pinot Noir Louise Vineyard
2/16/2011 - jesus juice wrote:
the cork has been pulled on this for about 5.5 hours. it looks like a pinot noir with a hint of orange. the nose is a sunny may morning when it rained overnight and everything is in bloom-abstract. wine professional- cherry, strawberry fruit, a very fresh, white floral expression and hint of nutmeg, clove, cinnamon and concrete dust over deep wet earth aromas. a little on the full bodied side of pinot noir(med-) but that is not to say it is at all heavy or overdone. there is nice, dense fruit on the palate. the acid and tannin come up on the finish. this is drinking well now but i believe there is structure there to reward two to three years in the cellar.

2008 Reininger Cabernet Sauvignon Helix

100% cabernet sauvignon sourced from the phinny hill vineyard. 67% new oak, 58% french, 25% russian, 17% american. 596 cases produced.
i sampled this today, the cork has been pulled for about four hours. interesting mix of black cherry, currant fruit and a green/vegetal expression that is right between green-herbal and green-mint/menthol and a bit of tobacco. some subtle baking spice courtesy of the french oak rounding out the nose. very well balanced on the medium + body. there is definitely fruit but it is matched with the green character all hemed up nicely by medium+ tannins and medium acid. a very well built wine with great character.

2005 Frankland Estate Shiraz Isolation Ridge Vineyard

the nose is a beguiling blend of black cherry, black pepper, a fennel/herbal spice compnent, orange peel and rubber. the palate is bright and juicy with a soapy black pepper edge that turns slightly bitter on the finish. bright acid and barely any tannin to speak of. this is a shiraz for syrah lovers.
