Weekly Wine Tasting
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday & Saturday
May 23 - 26, 2012
2009 Thomas Fogarty Gewurztraminer (Monterey, California)
Of the previous 2008 vintage. 100% Gewurztraminer, which is one of the supremely aromatic grapes. Fom the Viento Vineyard, which has great shale and limestone soil. Fogarty produces a delightful one with traditional rose petals, lychee nuts, and spice,
only with a distinctive California twist - more brightly citric and delicious, fermented cool, with a touch of residual sugar that
tames the bitterness that Gewurztraminer often has. ¾ of the grapes were fermented whole brunch with stems. Wonderful with Oriental foods.
2007 Harrington Pinot Noir Iund Vineyard (Carneros, California)
Enters the mouth with an enticing silkiness, and features a rich red and black cherry in the mouth with a slight sweetness.
Single vineyard, grown on heavy clay loam soil. Crop thinning holds down yields to improve quality.
2009 Sequana Sundawg Pinot Noir (Green Valley, Russian River, California)
The best Pinot Noir at the 2011 Food and Wine Trade Show at the Hard Rock Casino in Hollywood Florida. Dark in color; a
velvet texture that caresses the mouth; plum, black cherry, and raspberry fruit; and a dry finish laced with tannin. The Green
Valley area was one of the places that Champagne makers selected as most suitable for production of sparkling wines in
California for dependable cool nights, limestone and granite soils, and lack of heat spikes. Wines like this demonstrate that the area also has select sites capable of making great non-sparkling Pinot Noirs.
2009 Camberly Pinotage (Stellenbosch, South Africa)
Vibrant notes of cherries dipped in mocha chocolate. Bold and intense with succulent fruit and firm tannins.
2009 Post House Missing Virgin (South Africa)
An usual blend of around 70% Pinotage and 30% Petit Verdot grapes. Dark, saturated color with a bluish tone. Violets, bright
acidity, blueberry, and earth flavors. The name refers to the virgin Christian martyr who the Virgin Islands were named for, and a famous rare stamp from that country that unintentially omitted her image.
2009 Puro Uno Quadro Limitado (Mendoza, Argentina)
www.bountyhunterwine.com: Some of the world's best winemakers have been flocking to Mendoza. It's a vineyard laboratory
with world-class fruit and no rules other than, 'if it tastes good, do it.' That's what's happening here, a Malbec based blend with
Cabernet, Tempranillo and Syrah as the backing band. Brooding dark berry fruits, purple fruits and an anise-herb character highlight an impressively rich weight and mouthfeel. We suspect the scores are acomin'…
2010 Montes Classic Cabernet Sauvignon (Chile)
Classic is the value line of Montes. Includes 15% Merlot.Deep ruby red color with layers of caramel, cinnamon, and hints of
mint. Strong fruit with secondary oak.
2008 Axel Syrah 2008 Chile
Axel is a premium label of La Playa. Of the previous 2007, winemaker's notes:90% Syrah, 5% Carmenere, 5% Petit Verdot. Aged
18 months in French and American oak. Deep, ruby red. The nose is complex, showing fruits like blackberries and raspberries,
with hints of vanilla and tobacco. An expressive palate is potent yet fresh, touched with chocolate and mocha, and a good concentration of ripe tannins. Well-balanced, with a long, pleasant, finish.
Purchase 6 or more bottles of wine at the tasting totaling $150 or more and get 10% off the purchase price.
Remember to plan to stay for the "After The Wine Tasting Party" each evening!
