Sea Smoke Ten 2005
Appellation Santa Rita Hills
Santa Barbara County California
Fabulous. A pinot for a cabernet lover. Even keel, long lasting flavor with a nose of light wood and darkened fruits.

Far Niente 2004
Big. Lucid, viscous, lucious, velvetty. These are the words to describe this full bodied vintage. The same good mix of fruit and body that we have come to love in a far niente wine. This is worth a celebration. It will hold its long lasting taste for many years.
Faust 2004
Dark cherry on the start, light leathery mid section. Slightly weak on the finish, but good potential for years to come. Should pair well with steak. I'll find out in a minute. Yum.
