Four Vines Monarchy
Fabulous. If you are lucky enough to know anarchy, this wine will be no stranger. It is tight in a comfortable way, filled with the aroma and flavor of berries, and prepared to deliver the tannic structure to hold up as a standalone, stand-tall type of wine. Fit for a king ;-)
51% petite verdot
46% malbec
3% tempranillo

Simi Landslide 2006
Chalk this one up to a great bargain. Nice, balanced flavor - light oak, moderate tannins, great structure and a nice silky texture. I'll take a case of that one. Cosco apparently sells this one. Who knew?

Geyserville - Ridge 2006
Enjoyed on riverwalk in san antonio. Reminds me of a nice hot chocolate. Creamy, rich with just enough berry to remind you that this is a great wine.
