On Saturday we got together with our Vino friends and had our four bottle tasting. Usually, we end up drinking a lot of reds, but that night we had two whites and two reds.
1. 2005 Jordan Chardonnay, Sonoma, CA-full bodied with lemon peel and honey. Lots of acidity and very little Oak. This wine was purchased on a trip to sonoma and was about 25$ at the winery
2. 2007 A to Z Pinot Gris, Willamette Valley, OR- Light, Mineral tones, and tangy; Tart. Purchased this one at Costco for $17. Good cheap summer wine. Food Friendly (we had Thai curry that night)
3. 2005 Zenaida Cellars Cabernet Sauvignon, Paso Robles, CA- Medium bodied with Leather and blackberries. Medium Tannins and nice lingering finish. For some reason I didn't remember it being this good at the winery, but we'ed been tasting wine all day and this was our last stop. $15 at the winery. Nice Value.
4. 2006 Siduri Clos Pepe Vineyard Pinot Noir, Sonoma, CA- Thanks to our friends for bringing this show stopper out. Full bodied beauty with tons of cherry and cola flavors. Silky smooth tannins and acidity. Nice lingering finish of blueberries. This was purchased at the Siduri Tasting room in Sonoma, CA and was $53. The year and a half of aging was definitely a plus.
