8.5-9
2007
Blackbird - Arriviste
Bright, light baby pink in the glass, this wine smells of alpine strawberries and a nice stony aroma. In the mouth it is nicely dry with flavors of strawberry and cherry. The wine has just a little less edge than I like in my rose, but is quite pleasing nonetheless.

Codax, Martin - Tempranillo Ergo
Medium garnet in color, this wine has a nose of black cherry and molasses aromas. In the mouth it offers dark cassis and black cherry flavors with decent acidity and nicely restrained wood, but not a lot of complexity. Ends up coming off a little flat, despite being tasty.

2005
Grgich Hills - Cabernet Sauvignon Napa Valley
Dark garnet in the glass, this wine smells of black cherry, black olives, and cassis. In the mouth it is smooth and velvety, with soft, mouth-coating tannins that wrap around flavors of black cherry, plum, and cassis that linger nicely into the finish.

Helfrich - Gewurztraminer Steinklotz
Pale gold in the glass, this wine has a nose of rose petals and baked apples. In the mouth it has a nice balance and strong flavors of roses, honeydew melon, and…. Roses. With a capital R. Quite pleasant, bordering on delicious, but a little too…rosy to really be profound.

Helfrich - Riesling Steinklotz
Light green-gold in the glass, this wine smells of pears and unripe apples. In the mouth it is tart and juicy with zingy acidity and flavors of crabapple, pears, and white flowers.
