Monday, March 11, 20132010 Joel Gott Alakai
This wine is a lovely Rhone style blend from Napa with
mostly Grenache with some Syrah, Mourvèdre, and Petite Sirah. The color is a lovely medium ruby red with an
expressive nose of blackberry, black pepper and anise. The mouth feel is full to medium fruit
forward with a lively acidic mid pallet and smooth tannic finish. I could drink a lot of this.

Thursday, February 28, 20132010 Miro Cabernet Sauvignon, Silverwood Vineyard
This is an Alexander Valley cab from Sonoma County. The wine is a quite dark ruby with a heavy
nose of black fruit, esters, vanilla, black olive and caramel. This wine is best when you let to breath for
several minutes. The mouth feel is full
bodied with sweet big fruit to a tannic finish that is lasting with a lot of
glycerin. This is a lovely wine with
food from big heavy fair to snacks.
Score: 89
Cost: $ 30

Wednesday, February 13, 20132011 Orin Swift Cellars Abstract
Here
at the Oregon Wine Geeks we just tend to love Orin Swift's wines. This year’s Abstract is no exception a dark
red blend with big black fruit, fig, black olive, and chestnuts on the
nose. This is a high alcohol offering at
15.2% but it doesn't feel overwhelming.
The mouth feel is full bodied with a large fruit that is present
throughout the tasting with a numbing tannic finish which is lasting and
wonderful. This year’s blend is Grenache,
Petite Sirah, and Syrah from Napa, Sonoma, and Mendocino.
Score: 93
Cost: $ 29
Wine Type: Red Blend, Califonia, mixed appelations

Tuesday, February 05, 20132006 Neyers Zinfandel Tofanelli Vineyard Nape Valley
This is a well-aged
Zin from Napa with a bold and dark ruby color.
The nose is dark fruit, esters, black pepper, and has a spicy
character. This is a full bodied chewy
Zin with a good fruit and big tannin even after 7 years this is still very
drinkable and enjoyable. Drink it now
don’t wait any longer.

Monday, January 21, 20132010 Seghesio Zinfandel
This Sonoma County gem of a wine is a dark ruby red with
a big dark fruit nose, black pepper, caramel with underlying fresh mint. The
palate shows a full bodied wine with a clean fresh sweet fruit. The long tannic finish is layered and long
lasting. This is a wonderful Zin that
should drink well for the next 5 to 7 years.

Saturday, January 19, 20132007 Joseph Swan Vineyards Syrah Great Oak Vineyard
This Russian River Valley Syrah is a very dark ruby red
with a nose of black fruit, loam, white pepper and mint. The palate show a full bodied wine with a
lovely fruit that gives way to a structured middle of acids that flow nicely
into a tannic long finish. If you can
find it, drink it. It's well aged and
ready.
Score: 91
Cost: $ 35

Saturday, December 15, 20122009 Todd Taylor Tempranillo
This Tempranillo from Holland Landing in Clarksburg is a
dark ruby and slightly translucent. The
nose is anise, caramel, boysenberry, and esters. The palate shows a round fruit quite sweet
with an acidic balanced middle. The
finish is tannic as a young Tempranillo should be long lasting and
numbing. This should be lovely with rich
foods.
Score: 89
Cost: $ 30
Wine Type: Tempranillo,California, Central Valley, Clarksburg

This Napa Valley Cabernet is made by Rob Mondavi of that illustrious
winemaking family. The wine is dark red
with a loam earthy nose of dark fruits, leather, old wood and hints of
anise. The mouth feel is full with a
supple tannic finish, round and sumptuous fruit from the beginning throughout
the middle. This is a finely made and
very tasty Cabernet.
