Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Too soft, simple and sweet, like sugared cherry pie filling before it’s been baked into the crust.

Brass Tacks Merlot - 2006

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A beautiful Riesling, perfect for a cocktail or with a wide range of fare. Bone dry and richly acidic, it shows true varietal flavors of citrus, honeysuckle, diesel or lighter fluid, minerals and gardenia flower. This is a wine that sommeliers should scoop up, but only 450 cases were produced.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A simple, easy Cabernet, rich in black currant, chocolate and oak flavors, and wrapped into thick, soft tannins. Drink now.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Very nice for the price. Dry and smooth, with blackberry, cherry, cola and currant flavors that have a scoury mouthfeel, because of the tannins. Lots of class and even some complexity.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Bone dry, with brisk tannins, this is a Merlot to drink with good food and not worry about the wine overshadowing it. It’s really drinkable, with a soft, lush mouthfeel and flavors of cherries, currants, spices and cedar. A huge and welcome improvement over the ’06.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This would be a wonderful wine even if it cost a little more. As it is, it’s a steal. Shows refined apricot, peach, lychee, mineral and floral flavors, finished with brisk, mouthwatering acidity, and an absolutely dry finish. One of the best Riesling values available in Cailfornia, and a tremendous cocktail wine. Just 600 cases were produced.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A good, rugged Petite Sirah, with the bigtime fruit and heavy tannins the variety is known for. Just bursts across the palate with blackberries, plums, cassis and peppery, leathery notes.
