Storybook Mountain Vineyards 2011 Zinfandel. Eastern Exposure

Old style Zinfandel as described by our server. Very classy. Supple feel and pleasantly young and vibrant.

Domaine Alfred • Cinqasept • 2002

Nice mix of grenache and syrah. French style nose and mouth. Nice finish - from soft tannins into coffees and licorice. No complaints. Aging well - should go a few more years.

Bonny's 2004 Oakville

Silver Oak heredity. Butterscotch, vanilla, and subtlety in the way we all love.

Chateau de Beaucastel 2007

A nice chateauneuf-du-pape enjoyed near Zürichsee. An extremely subtle nose which exposes the richness of the grape when pressed. But the palette explodes with vanilla and lingers with mild bits of cedar and tobacco. The ending is long and a tad bitter, but slightly resembles tart prunes as it settles. A must re-do.
