Calera Reed Pinot Noir 2008
Further proof (not that I need it) that Calera is the finest PN producer in the US. Sleekly frames and well-balanced.
-
Chateau De Saint Cosme Gigondas 2009
Oodles of sappy pungent fruit but brings the earthy funk as well. Very nicely done!
-
Kalin Cellars Chardonnay
A little bottle variation (to be expected) but at best still showing well. Brioche and hazelnut w/ supple texture.
-
Reisetbauer Apfel Cuvee
From Austrian Master distiller and all-around beverage pimp Hans Reistebaeur. Fresh and pure with great texture.

Wylie Fenaughty Syrah 2010
New wood and high alcohol aren't required for an age worthy wine. Classy and elegant with years ahead...
