Adler Fels Gewürztraminer 2003 (***)
Russian River Valley, Sonoma County, California. $11.99.
Welcome to a special Wine Blogging Wednesday edition of Tastings. WBW is a monthly wine blogging event, and this is our first time taking part. The theme for this month is white wines other than Chardonnay, Sauvignon Blanc, and Riesling, and it's being sponsored by the Wine for Newbies podcast.
I had a bottle of Gewürztraminer of unknown provenance in my pantry, so I opened it up and gave it a shot.
Gold in color. The nose is lychee, honey, and a little pepper. Mostly lychee and honey.
It's medium bodied, and a little oily, with lychee and honey as the main flavors. It's dry, but not acidic enough to be crisp. It's fairly well balanced.
I'd drink it again, but something a little crisper is more my style. Three stars (of five).

Viña Concha Y Toro, Central Valley, Chile
Garnet in color, with a nose of currant, cherry, and pepper. The taste is of currant and peppery oak. Full bodied, with medium tannins. A nice long, oaky finish with lingering tannins. The finish is slightly sour, but not unpleasantly so.
Definitely one to buy again, and a great value at $8.

April 3, 2006
Wolf Blass Yellow Label Shiraz 2003 (***)
South Australia.

It's heavy and full-bodied. Bitter, but with soft tannins. There's a little pepper.

Bonny Doon Zinfandel "Cardinal Zin" 3002 "Yeastly Bold Vines" (***)
Bonny Doon Vineyard, Santa Cruz, CA.
If Bonny Doon has one thing, it's excellent marketing. Their wines have interesting labels and back stories, and some have fantastic artwork. The label on this bottle is by Ralph Steadman, and has been catching my eye for a while. After hearing a positive review of this wine, I decided to give it a shot. I try to maintain a healthy skepticism toward well-marketed wines.
This was the "Yeastly Bold Vines" variety of Bonny Doon's Cardinal Zin, which has a small amount of Riesling lees added to their normal Cardinal Zin. It's labeled as 3002, as the addition of the Riesling kept them from labeling it as the 2003 vintage.
Ruby in color, with a nose of cherry and raspberry. Fairly light bodied.
Black cherry and raspberry flavor, with a thin mouthfeel. Extremely fruity - almost too forward. I'd happily drink it again, but I'd probably buy something else given a choice. Not a great value for my palate. $18.00.

Brookline Liquor Mart Wine Tasting 2006-04-01 (Blind Tasting)

Majella Wines, Coonawarra, South Australia. $21.50.

Russiz Pinot Grigio 2004 (***)
Azianda Agricola Russiz Superiore, Capriva, Friuli, Italy.

Célestin Blondeau, Verdigny, Cher, Loire Valley, France.

Brookline Liquor Mart Wine Tasting 2006-03-25 (Italian Wines)
This week's theme was Italian Wines.
Folonari 'Brio' (***)
100% Prosecco. Veneto region, Italy.

It was strongly recommended that we skip this wine and move on to better things. $7.50.
Cantina Gabriele Sangiovese Cerceo (***)
100% (?) Sangiovese. Terracina, Lazio.
This was the first wine of the tasting that we all really liked - it was very crisp and vegetal. It would be nice with pasta or lighter meats. $10.50.
Castello di Buttrio 'Marburg' 1999 (**)
Castello di Buttrio, Buttrio, Colli Orientali.
A little spicy, very light - almost too light on flavor. $33.95.
Loredan Gasparini Capo di Stato 1998 (****)
Venegazu del Montello, Veneto.
Very "very" - my notes say very full flavored, very spicy, very tannic, very long finish. $39.99.
Albino Rocca Barbaresco 'due mila due' 2002 (****)
Albino Rocca, Barbaresco, Piedmont
Great backbone, somewhat tannic. This was really delicious - I'll try to write a full review later. $36.50.
Fattoria Monsanto Vin Santo 'La Chiméra' 1993 (***)
Spicy nose, almost too full-flavored. Buttery, toasty, nutty finish. Tastes very much like a tawny port. Half bottle $52.99.
Posted by peter at 11:22 PM | Comments (0)
Morandé Terrarum "Reserve" Sauvignon Blanc 2005 (***)
Sauvignon Blanc, Maipo Valley, Chile. 2005.
Tart and dry, green apple notes. Delicious with a hearty, lightly seasoned fish. Definitely a wine to find again.

Bartenura Moscato 2005 (***)
Yum! Nice and crisp. We've been drinking the Alasia Brachetto D'Acqui as our standard dessert wine, but I haven't been liking that much lately. I feel like it's more syrupy than I noticed at first, and it's a little off-putting. This Bartenura is much crisper, and very pleasant.
The aroma is grapey - very much like a white grape juice. It's sweet, of course, but not syrupy. The finish is pear and nectar. It's slightly sparkling. Very nice - I'll be buying another bottle of this one.

Brookline Liquor Mart Wine Tasting 2006-03-18 (Wines for Spring)
The theme for this week was Wines for Spring. I apologize for the terseness of the notes.
Loosen Bros 'Dr. L' Riesling 2004 (***)
Written up separately - very nice. Three stars (of five).
Santa Ema Sauvignon Blanc 2004 (*)
I didn't like this one at all. One star.
King Estate Pinot Gris 2004 (***)
Nice enough. Tangerine and melon. Crisp finish. Three stars.
Domaine William Fevre Chablis 'Champs Royaux' 2004 (***)
Also tasty.
Erik Banti Morellino di Scansano 2004 (**)
Way too tannic - I'd be interested in trying this again after a couple more years, but for now I'm not interested.
Château de Flaugergues 'Cuvée Sommelière' 2003 (**)
Nice enough.
Pedroncelli Winery Pinot Noir 2004 (*)
I didn't like this one either.
Bouchard Père & Fils Beaune du Chêteau Premier Cru 2002 (****)
I'll write this up separately once we crack the second bottle, but it was very nice.
Bartenura Moscato 2005 (***)
Written up separately.
Posted by peter at 10:37 AM | Comments (0)
Loosen Bros 'Dr. L' Riesling 2004 (***)
Nice German Riesling. Crisp, grapefruit flavor. Fairly dry. A great value at $10.
Three stars (of five)

March 24, 2006
Castas de Santar Dao Red 2003 (***)
Lots of berries and a juicy flavor. It's not very acidic, but there's a nice oaky bitterness. It was delicious with roast beef. At $10, definitely worth buying again.
Three stars (of five).

Duck Walk Vineyards Vidal Blanc Ice Wine
We spent a weekend in the Finger Lakes wine region, where ice wines seem to be the current rage. The area has particularly good Rieslings and early frosts - I think those two combine to make good conditions for ice wines.
It's a pity the only ice wine we tried was from the Hamptons, at Duck Walk Vineyards, but it was still quite nice.
It had an extremely rich, green apple nose. I also detected a little pear. The main flavors are apricot and honey, though there's a little apple in the finish. Is was quite sweet - a great dessert wine.
Posted by peter at 11:22 PM | Comments (0)
Roderer Estate Anderson Valley Brut
Quite dry, very carbonated. The primary fruit flavor is grape, but I also taste some sour citrus. This champagne is nothing spectacular, but it's nice enough. After sitting a few minutes, it's a little malty. But still primarily sour.

Heron Hill Winery Rieslings
After our trip to Dr. Frank's, we went down the street to the Heron Hill Winery. I tried three of their premium Rieslings.
All were excellent, but I wasn't taking notes, and I only remember a word or two to describe each.
Dry Riesling 2003. Lots of citrus, particularly in the finish. Primarily lime.
Johannesberg Riesling. Primarily lemon, more in the full flavor than just the finish.
Late Harvest Riesling 2002. Honey and orange, but mostly honey. It has an almost syrupy consistency when compared with the other two. Did I mention honey?
Our trip to the Finger Lakes wine region was very successful - there are definitely some excellent wines being produced in the area. I'm going to head over to Marty's shortly to see what New York wineries they stock.

Dr. Konstantin Frank Vinifera Wine Cellars
Elisabeth and I spent the weekend in Rochester, NY with some friends and visited a couple wineries. The first was Dr. Konstantin Frank's Vinifera Wine Cellars. Their tasting is highly recommended - you get six choices between two similar wines, so if you pair up with a friend you can try twelve in total.
Here are a few short notes. The links are to the closest matching year on their Wine Facts page:
Dr. Frank's 2002 Chardonnay. Very oaky and dry.
Salmon Run 2002 Chardonnay. Sweeter than the Dr. Frank Chardonnay, not overly oaky. Apples and pears.
Salmon Run 2003 Riesling. Fruity aroma and flavor. Sour notes at the back of the throat, but it's not unpleasant.
Dr. Frank's 2003 Johannesberg Riesling "Semi-dry". Rich, sweet. Nice dessert wine.
Salmon Run Coho Red. Thin and fruity - this is a great table wine. It was highly recommended by our helpful tasting guide as a cooking wine.
Dr. Frank's 2001 Pinot Noir. Light flavor, floral but not overly sweet. Well-layered.
Salmon Run 2002 Meritage. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot. It's aged in French oak barrels, and tastes peppery. Nice.
Dr. Frank's 2002 Cabernet Franc. Nice, tastes of apple.
Dr. Frank's 2001 Merlot. Very fruity, dry.
Dr. Frank's 2003 Riesling "Dry". Great! Tart, tastes like grapefruit. We left with two bottles of this one.
Dr. Frank's 2002 Pinot Gris. Light in flavor. That's all my notes say. What a waste of ink.
Dr. Frank's 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon. Very tannic. Dry dry dry! Lots of plum, tobacco.
The Dr. Frank branded wines are from grapes grown on-site. Salmon Run is their newer, more inexpensive brand blending grapes from other vineyards.
All their wines were nice, and I can recommend them. The notes were primarily to help me differentiate between them, and I'm sorry I don't have more detail.

Don Melchor Concha y Toro 2000
Probably best in a year or so, but this Cabernet Sauvignon from Puente Alto, Chile has a wonderful personality -- blackberry and currant are most discernible -- and a nice balance. I drank it without food, but if one were to enjoy an edible delight with it, I suspect it would pair wonderfully with various well seasoned ethnic dishes and anything but the gamiest of meats.
Disclaimer: I have heard that Wine Spectator gave this wine an impressive 94 rating, and unfortunately for the review I knew this a priori. It would be hard not to enjoy this bad boy, though.

Salentein Malbec Mendoza 2001
Valle de Uco, Tunuyán, Mendoza, Argentina
With a scent of plum and smoke, this wine is a velvety purple. The taste is similarly of plum, with the smoke coming to the foreground. It's very smooth. The finish is almost a little bitter.

Louis M. Martini Cabernet Sauvignon Sonoma County 2001
Black cherry, currant, spice. Nice wine, on special from Marty's. It would pair well with rich tomato flavours or mellow cheese.

St. Urbans-hof Piesporter Goldtröpfchen 2002
This was a nice white wine for dessert. It was fruity, with a high acidity - very refreshing. It was slightly carbonated.
We paired it with peach ice cream, and the combination was wonderful.
Posted by peter at 12:11 AM | Comments (0)
Château Montroche Costières de Nîmes 2002
This was a very nice Red Rhone wine. Light, but still very flavorful. It's a great red wine to pair with chicken.

April 11, 2004
Falesco "Vitiano" Umbria 2001
This is a simple table wine, a good basic example of a chianti. It is equal parts Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot.
It was nice, but nothing special. It paled beside the other two wines of the evening, the Château Montroche Costières de Nîmes 2002 and the St. Urbans-hof Piesporter Goldtröpfchen 2002.

Beaulieu Vineyard Coastal Merlot 2000
I'm tasting the Coastal Merlot 2000 from Beaulieu Vineyard, a Napa Valley staple.
The wine has a juicy, spicy nose. It's dry and medium-bodied, with a little spice. Black cherry and currant. This is a pleasant wine, and would be good with full-flavoured food.

Rowland Atlas Peak Pinot Noir 1997
The Rowland Atlas Peak Pinot Noir 1997 has a light-bodied, delicate flavor. Very smooth. Cherries and green apples, with an almost floral fragrance. The finish is slightly sweet.
