Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A little sharp and awkward in the mouth, with some green flavors leading to a tart finish. There are enough berry, cherry and oak flavors to make the wine interesting. Shows a classy dryness, but doesn’t seem to have the balance to age. Drink up.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Drink this lusty, hearty red wine now with beef stew and sausage casseroles. It’s a big, softly tannic wine that’s sweet with blackberry, licorice and chocolate flavors.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Crisp and creamy, an everyday style of Chard made in the New World, Californian style. It’s front-loaded in jammy pine-apple and papaya flavors.

Cru Vin Dogs Chardonnay - 2005

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Nice and dry, with an elegant structure of acids and firm, dusty tannins and a balanced application of oak. However, the wine is a bit thin and lacking in richness, especially compared to Napa. It shows herb-tinged, earthy flavors that suggest black cherries, green olives and golden tobacco.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Good, but a bit thin and tannic, with a dry, astringent mouthfeel framing modest currant and herb flavors. Tastes like the kind of wine you want to age, but the stuffing isn’t there.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A nice, pleasant Chardonnay from a winery that donates 10% of profits to animal and guide dog causes. Rich and creamy, it’s strong in tropical fruit and vanilla spice flavors.

This Cabernet-Sauvignon has intense berry scent, however the strong tannins override the sweetness making this Cabernet nicely complex.

Big, dark and fuller than any of the other Cru Vin reds. I can still feel the tannins well after my sip.

This is a deeply colored red with a slight olive scent and earthy undertones. It has a beautifully smooth finish, a great Cabernet-Syrah from Northern California!

More fruit forward than the Cru Vin Lucky. This cab is smooth and full of dark cherry, leather, blackberry and a hint of tocacco with tannins lingering on the finish.
