Surprisingly tasty chardonnay and great value for the $! Straw/light golden yellow color, nectarine and peach notes throughout, with bright acidity on the finish.

Despite all the back-label talk of richness and layer-cake complexities, this wine lacks much of the sweet, yummy character that folks love about Argentine Malbec. We acknowledge that 2007 was an abnormally cool year in Mendoza, but what’s here is lean, disjointed and angular.

Fully ripe, easy-drinking Shiraz, offering a multitude of fruit nuances—plum, black cherry, blueberry—plus just a hint of tarriness. Tannins are silky and unobtrusive, making this a wine to drink now and over the next few years.

A new project from Jayson Woodbridge (the owner of Napa’s Hundred Acre label), Layer Cake refers to the soils of his Barossa Vineyard, but it could equally apply to the richness and density of the wine. It’s creamy in texture, and filled with blueberries, spice and everything nice, finally ending with hints of coffee and chocolate.

Two vintages of this wine are on the books, and frankly something isn’t clicking. After a flat-out weak wine in 2007, this one is showing raisiny, pasty, lactic qualities and too much clumsy sweetness. It’s like a cloying ball of blackberry candy accented by bacon fat.

Complex and textured well beyond what the modest price point would suggest, this is a full-on Shiraz, loaded with plum and black cherry fruit, and with enough tar, coffee and olive to retain your interest sip after sip. It’s warm and velvety on the finish.

Excellently balanced and intricate zinfandel. Raspberry/mixed berry nose. Raspberry, tart cherry with subtle mocha notes, with a lingering peppery finish. Enjoyed very much; highly recommend for those who enjoy a well balanced zinfandel.
