Event selections: $20.00
Coquille Blanc 2011 ($18.99 During Tasting)
- Multi-dimensional (many layers), a hard-to-describe range of aromatics, intriguing, almost mysterious! In the mouth it is crisply dry yet creamy and round and full-bodied, nice almond paste on crisp-yet-juicy pear fruit.
Carneros Pinot Noir 2011 ($34.99 During Tasting)
- Rich black cherry fruit, nice black pepper spice and touch of earth. Firm tannins cloaked in velvety plush silkiness, nice spicy finish. More fruit than a lot of Pinot Noirs—a Zin-lover’s Pinot!
Wild Thing Zin 2010 ($21.99 During Tasting)
- Aromas of black cherry, plum and raspberry fruit combine with a beautiful hint of vanilla-oak loveliness, smoothly textured in mouth, very creamy and round, the finish is long and has lush jammy fruit — this wine is dangerously good!
Monga Zin 2010 ($21.99 During Tasting)
- Very bright pomegranate cherry fruit, brown sugary-caramel oak. Fragrant Asian spices—Chinese 5-spice in milk chocolate/cocoa; Mouthfeel is still a bit young and chewy, but quite drinkable now. 91 Points Wine Spectator.
Karma Zin 2009 ($21.99 During Tasting)
- Very complexly layered spice and black fruits, lively! Dark chocolate, Creamy oak, a bit of vanilla cola, brown spices-nutmeg/cinnamon. Rich in mouth, good structure for aging, a bit chewy in its youth.
Black Magic Late Harvest ($18.99 During Tasting)
- Inky blue-purple in color, yummy deep razz-blackberry jam and luscious dark chocolate of oak spices, sweet but not clumsy, pleasingly balanced with a bit a tartness, not at all hotly alcoholic, bit of warm vanilla at finish.French and 20% American oak, all new, used to age his wines, which are now justly celebrated throughout the world. Previous vintage received 93 pts.
Hope to see you all Thursday!
