a few over the past few weeks:
pax 05 alders spring dark purple, tarred red fruit with a hint of VA full bodied not giving too much on the palate tight overall will wait
carlisle 06 carlisle vineyard zin dark purple lush sweet briary black fruit big rolling mouth o fruit with SMOOTH long finish really really good but no different really, than any other carlisle zin ('07 sonoma county excepted- that wine is weak IMO)
carlisle 07 RRV syrah dark purple sweet dark fruits, touch pepper and spice with medium sized mouth with somewhat tart and clipped finish- ok, well i guess decent average cali syrah
P2 cargasaschi jalama pinot '07 touch cloudy garnet spicy smoky strawberries good acid, nice finish, nice wine for $25
D Colombier Cuvee Gaby Crozes Hermitage '03 deep red scorched earth, smoked red fruits, pepper, exotic spice with lifted mouth feel riding on lots o acid (but not too much) with long finish we have a winner, wotm (month)
Domaine Alfred '07 stainless central coast chardonnary pale yellow, nice bright tropical nose with bizarra, disjointed sweetness on the palate that had my wife saying, what the hell, this smells like SB but tastes like Riesling. grew on me a bit, but still really strange.
P2 '07 Momtazi pinot clear red slightly elusive strawberry and cherry notes with a hint of pine, light to medium in the mouth with pretty flavors, if somewhat simple, decent finish again good for $20
Viader '00 Red (bordeaux blend) dark red mellow nose of cedar currants cassis smoke medium bodied good feel touch tart with nice finish
