Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Front-loaded with flavors of black and red currants, chocolate-covered mints and cedar, this Cab has a simple structure. It’s at its best now.

Fenestra Cabernet Sauvignon - 2005

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Take a wine with Pinot Noir’s delicate, silky texture and cross it with Zinfandel’s robust, rustic quality, and you get this Temp. It’s dry and easy in the mouth, with cherry and Kahlua flavors and lots of anise and nutmeg.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
More California wineries should tinker with this Port variety. This wine is fruitily complex, with a medium body, silky texture and oodles of spice. While it’s rustic, it shows real promise.

Fenestra Touriga Franca - 2003

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This is a robust, rustic wine, rich in dark berry and fruit flavors, thick in tannins and a bit sweet. It’s the kind of wine to drink with easy fare.

Fenestra Alvarelhão - 2003

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Not much aroma out of this wine at first. From one of Livermore’s better vineyards, Ghielmetti, this Malbec has a tannic backbone, is quite dry, very ripe and with the requisite blue and blackberry and hint of clove. Not as layered as it could be.

Fenestra Malbec - 2008

0 out of 0 people thought this note was helpful.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A crisp wine that shows why this region east of San Francisco was renowned for Sauvignon Blanc 100 years ago. There’s a firm mineral tang to the lemongrass, fig, green melon and papaya flavors, and the finish, while thoroughly dry, has a honeyed richness.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Simple, with apricot, peach and pineapple flavors elaborated with a coating of smoky oak. Acidity is fine, and the finish is totally dry.

Fenestra Chardonnay - 2006

0 out of 0 people thought this note was helpful.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Fenestra’s ’06 Semillon and Chardonnay both were pretty good, but for some reason, this blend of both flags. It’s thin in flavor, with a weedy, minty edge to the citrus and oak flavors.

Fenestra White Blend - 2006

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Pretty dark and full-bodied for a rosé, this Rhône blend is also soft and heavy, lacking the vibrancy a blush wine should have. It has cherry, currant and spice flavors.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Dry and hot, this wine has a harsh astringency, with stewed cherry and tobacco flavors.
