Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This wine displays good color and structure, but there just not much in the way of aroma or flavor here. Except for some minimal cassis on the nose, the wine is rather thin and weedy. A disappointment.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
The sweet-smelling aroma of vanilla dominates the nose of this wine, followed up on the palate by more vanilla and some indistinct fruit. Creamy and soft.

La Palma Chardonnay - 2000

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A real mainstream Chard, with appealing pineapple and apple notes. It’s mid-weight, with lively acidity that supports the fruit and a pleasing, if slightly one-dimensional, flavor profile.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This jammy, plump wine is packed with fruity flavors of black cherries and blackberries; also some chocolate and cola. Good quaffing wine or bar pour. Best Buy.

La Palma Merlot - 2000

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Starts off with reductive aromas of road tar and swamp mud, but has plenty of earthy black currant flavors to balance things out. Lead pencil and tobacco elements grace the palate and sturdy tannins frame the finish. A full, rugged and somewhat rustic expression of Cabernet. Best Buy.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Dark fruit, Japanese seaweed and oak aromas open to black-fruit, black-pepper and green-herb flavors. Tannins are a rustic and a little drying; try with sauced beef.

La Palma Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot - 1999

0 out of 0 people thought this note was helpful.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Clean and pure, with aromas of green grass, mint and passion fruit. Crisp on the palate, and lean on the finish. It’s snappy and tight, with a welcome lightness.

Forward and a touch bitter, with round, grippy tannins pushing basic black-fruit flavors and sweetness

La Palma Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon - 2003

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Micro-oxidation during the winemaking process has softened the tannins and body, but the flavors are vegetal, with only modest notes of chocolate adding character.

La Palma Merlot - 2003

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
More deep and grapey than the Cab-Merlot blend, but ultimately it falls into the same general range of acceptability. Flavors of bubble gum seem less than pure.
