Eric Kent - Chardonnay Sonoma Coast
Very lemony on the nose and palate, with crisp acidity and slight minerality. A touch of heat, nice mouthfeel, medium finish. Needs some more time in the bottle, but is a wonderful wine.

Emerson Brown - Cabernet Sauvignon
This wine is beautiful! Excellent balance of fruit, tannin and acidity. Lots of black rasberry and cherry. The bouquet is lush and inviting. It's an excellent value...better than many cabernets 2 to 3 times the price. Great value!

Beringer - Chardonnay Sbragia Limited Release
Rich and full bodied...loads of tropical fruit, coconut, pineapple...and a rich round mouthfeel with a long finish. This is a monster of a chard. Not usually my style, but it's really grown on me...had it with a nice seared yellow tail with a brown butter sage sauce and the two were magnificent together.

Casa Lapostolle - Clos Apalta
This is a really wonderful wine. Had I known it was WS wine of the year, I probably would not have opened it (good thing I have more). The wine is definitely too young right now. It is massive, with gobs of black fruit, a slight brambly characteristic and wonderful hints of toasty vanilla. Will be interesting to see how it evolves over the next 5 years.

Darioush - Cabernet Sauvignon Signature
This wine is massive. Big fruit, silky tannins and decent structure. Not extremely complex, but a joy to drink. Pair with a juicy steak or rack of lamb. This is not for everyone.
