2007 Alban Vineyards Viognier Alban Estate Vineyard - USA, California, Central Coast, Edna Valley (1/2/2010)
Popped and poured. Nose of honeysuckle, florals, green apple and white peach. Great minerality, lemon/lime flavors, oily viscosity. As it warmed and sat in the glass, honey emerged as the dominant feature. Smooth finish. -
2004 Big Basin Vineyards Syrah Rattlesnake Rock - USA, California, San Francisco Bay, Santa Cruz Mountains (1/2/2010)
Decanted two hours, sat in bottle for two more, then consumed over two. Blood, iodine, black plum and roasted meats on the nose. A swirling cauldron in the glass, meaty, deep, rich, hot rocks, iron, baked plums, grilled figs. Just an outstanding bottle of wine that matched the braised short ribs taste for taste.
