A Few Lodi Wines (Kith & Kin - Washington, DC): Expressive aromas of juicy black cherries, raspberries, cherries, with violet petals, clove, scorched earth. Vibrant acidity frames the wine well against dusty tannins. This has a plush but zippy aesthetic. Cherries and crunchy red apple mix with notes of floral perfume, clove and coffee woven in so well. So pretty and elegant, even at this young age, but I’d love to see it in five years or so. Equal parts Touriga Nacional, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petite Sirah.

Wine and Roses Partners Dinner (Wine and Roses Inn, Lodi): A very complex and attractive wine. Definite Touriga varietal flavors, very intense developed fruit, ample acidity, and a long elegant finish. I am not sure of the winemaking details but there is definite development without the distraction of oak. Almost a touch too acidic to have without food it was excellent with the ribeye. Great aging potential.
