  Christmas and birthday wines (Richfield and Winona): Pop and pour from a half bottle. High-toned red fruit with a touch of greenery. This had minor complexity although not much to get excited about. Humorously, a 2003 Arcadian Hommage a Max was slightly corked and much more enjoyable to drink (see my note).

  High-toned red fruit with some "bad" funk and earth.

  A nice Rhone blend of 55% Grenache, 25% Syrah, 16% Mourvedre, and 4% Cinsault. Very smooth and satisfying flavors of beef bullion, black tea, dark berries, with smoke and tar aromas. Another great wine from Bonny Doon Vineyards, all too easy to drink up!

  Some savory spicy tea notes. Very interesting. Not super dark or over extracted. Persistent on the palate. Medium plus finish.

  Expressive red berry fruit. Some tea/herbal notes. Nice balance. Fine grained tannins. Medium finish.
