* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

There’s a strong leesy, cheesy note on top of apple and peach fruit, in addition to a moderate dose of oak. That leesy quality returns in the finish, where it turns slightly bitter and spicy. This is a nice, pleasant, mildly complex wine.

Fantastically rich and sweet— even decadent—with apricot, crème brûlée and caramel aromas and botrytis. Deeply opulent and fruity in the mouth with flavors of apricot nectar, it has a zesty, cleansing cut of acidity. Drizzle it on vanilla ice cream on a hot night.

Quite a bit darker and fuller than Newlan’s offering from Alexander Valley, with blackberry and currant fruit, chewy tannins, and a creamy texture. Scores extra points for complexity and elegance.

Smells very ripe, with wild berry, tobacco and spice aromas. Dry, rich and spicy. Notable for its silky texture and lush, soft tannins.

A light-bodied, savory Pinot Noir with pleasant cherry and spice flavors and a silky, gentle texture. It has enough complexity to stand up to fancy fare, and will gain by a few hours of decanting.

Crisp and multifaceted with grapefruit, lime and pear aromas. Slight sulfur noted, but not off-putting. Very lively and brisk, with tart pineapple flavors and herb accents. Zingy and lean. Seems like Pinot Grigio or Sauvignon Blanc, not typical Chardonnay, but it’s very attractive nonetheless.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

This has to be one of the last 1996's released, and it shows its age in the bricky-orange color around the rim and the bouquet, which is beginning to be dominated by dried-fruit and cigar-box notes. It’s losing fruit in the mouth, too, with the flavors, such as they are, tending toward earth, tea and tomato juice. Yet it’s got some interesting complexities, and fans of mature Pinots will find lots to dwell on.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

A beautiful Cab that cheats the vintage with its plumply ripe fruit. Pours black, and opens with young, fairly closed aromas of herbs and oak, but the hidden depths of this wine reveal themselves in the blackcurrant, cherry and chocolate flavors that last through the finish. Should age through the decade, or try now with prime rib.
