Winery - Mi Sueno
* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Shows lots of sweet, smoky oak and superripe flavors of pineapple tart, lemon meringue pie and zesty limes. For all that richness, the wine is balanced with crisp acidity and a streak of stony minerals. Fine now and through 2011.

Rich and oaky, with a golden color suggesting the oak that has been lavished on the pineapple, green apple and pear fruit flavors of the grapes. Barrels have provided richer layers of buttered toast and caramel. This is an exotic, dramatic Chardonnay, although it perhaps trades subtlety for opulence.

A beautiful Pinot Noir, but one you want to age for a while. Rolando Herrera brings his experience with Napa Cabernet, resulting in a tannic wine that should begin to blossom after 2011. Rich in blackberry, cherry liqueur, cola and sweet oaky flavors, it grows better in the glass as it airs and warms.

Mi Sueño has captured the deeply impressive flavors of blackberries, mocha and chocolate and especially the pronounced black pepper of a fine Northern Rhône Syrah, along with noble tannins. The acidity is much lower, of course, giving the wine a delicious immediacy. A beautiful, elegant restaurant wine.

Well oaked, with a toasty, vanilla-infused cream and caramel edge, this polished Chard has peach custard flavors dusted with cinnamon, nutmeg and candied ginger. It’s delicious and complex. The word “rich” doesn’t begin to do it justice.

Earthy, with cherry pie filling, cola, rhubarb, nutmeg and cinnamon flavors. This dry wine is a little soft and one-dimensional, but has a silky mouthfeel.

Based on grapes from Coombsville, a cooler southerly part of Napa, this is a blend of 80% Cabernet Sauvignon and 20% Syrah. It’s almost superripe, but it wisely avoids sweetness, offering a huge mouthful of cherry pie, cassis, chocolate fudge and vanilla oak flavors in a softly tannic package. Drink now.

On the soft side, but the limpid mouthfeel packs plenty of flavor, including well-ripened apple, peach, pear and pineapple. Oak plays a dominant role, bringing vanilla, buttered toast and spice.

Very rich in ripe fruit and oak. Shows lavish flavors of pineapple tart, sour pineapple candy, vanilla cookie and elaborate Asian spices, with a touch of butterscotch. This is a fancy, palate-grabbing Chardonnay.

Rich and almost overpowering in ripe fruit, this is a wine that doesn’t pull its punches. Masses of jammy blackberry, cassis, cherry, mocha and smoky pie-crust flavors, with significant tannins and a dry finish. Nothing subtle here, just pure, spectacular New World red wine.
