* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

A dry, deeply flavorful and impressive Zinfandel that’s still young at the age of three-plus years. Shows an immaculate structure of strong tannins and acids framing intense flavors of blackberries and plums, spiced with pepper and finished with the scour of espresso. Needs a little time, though. Give it 1–3 years.

Made in the slightly sweet, crisp popular style, this Sauvignon Blanc offers easy flavors of pineapple, pear and apple juice, with the sweet vanilla of oak.

Easy drinking Zin, with good flavors of wild berries and spices wrapped in a creamy texture. Even though the wine is fully dry, it has a softness, almost a butteriness, that is almost sweet. Turns real long on the finish, with a ripe fruitiness that lasts.

Aromas of movie popcorn, hops and Asian pear open this rather over-the-top wine. It’s a decidedly candy-sweet combination of butterscotch, peach and nut flavors with a soft, round mouthfeel. The light orange finish is easy. If you have good friends who just don’t like dry wines, this is a great one to serve them.

This wine’s fat, tropical fruit, banana and toast nose has a pungent, spicy Gewürztraminer quality. The palate is the payoff. It shows the aforementioned elements, plus cinnamon, clove and vanilla flavors. What you get is a ripe, unctuous wine—big, maybe even a bit overblown, but totally lovable. The long, spicy finish of this unique bottling is impressive.

Shows the acidity and cherry-leather flavors this great grape of Tuscany is famous for, and is dry, with a spicy finish. But feels a bit direct and one-dimensional. The next step is to build in complexity. Drink now.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

A really nice Sauvignon Blanc. Fundamentally dry, but rich in fruity extract, it shows crisp, creamy flavors of pineapples, limes, sweet Meyer lemons, vanilla and smoky oak, girded by a firm minerality. Shows how well the cool Russian River Valley can treat this variety.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Ledson held this wine back for almost 4 years, but it’s still pretty tannic. Shows an astringency that makes your gums numb. But there are pleasant blackberry and cherry flavors, and the wine could soften in a few years before the fruit fades.

Give this young Zin some time in the bottle. It’s too jammy and thick to show its best now. With a rich core of blackberries, chocolate, leather, plums and spices that are wrapped into significant tannins, it should meld together by the middle of 2010.
