Sokol Blosser Meditrina

Tasting Notes

Vintage Non-Vintage
Country America
Name Meditrina
Producer Sokol Blosser

This is the only wine I know that blends Pinot, Syrah and Zinfandel. I have to say the combination works well. Well-balanced and structured, Meditrina offers an interesting combination of lush fruit character and spiciness. Soft and vibrant at the same time, this is one of my recent favorites.

TerraVin

Tasting Notes

Vintage 2008
Country New Zealand
Name TerraVin
Producer TerraVin

This wine was lovely, punchy fruit, very typical of New Zealand SB. But where this differs is the palate. It has a greater structure and depth than most other SB from New Zealand. The finish is long and bold.

Hecht & Bannier Faugeres 2005

Tasting Notes

Vintage 2005
Country France
Name Faugeres 2005
Producer Hecht & Bannier

Robust and earthy with a velvety sheen of black currant and chocolate. Develops beautifully in the glass, and the soft tannins and strong red fruit flavors co-mingle to produce a delightful mouthfeel. The Syrah which makes up most of this wine is grown on slate, lending a delicate minerality to the wine. Lovers of Saint-Chinian and other Languedoc wines will love this one.

Cremant d'Alsace the Perfect summer refreshment

Tasting Notes

Vintage Non-Vintage
Country France
Name Rene Barth
Producer Michel Fonne

The Crémant d’Alsace is the happy result of an alliance between Alsace grape varieties and the traditional methode Champenoise which brings its gentle effervescence to Pinot-Blanc, Riesling, Pinot-Noir, Pinot-Gris.

The varieties from which Crémant d’Alsace is made – and which comes exclusively from within the AOC Alsace zone – are very often harvested the first, at the very start of the vintage, in order to seize the ideal opportunity for vinification, when the grape is most finely-balanced and harmonious.

Rouanne Vinsobres

Tasting Notes

Vintage 2007
Country France
Name Rouanne Vinsobres 2007
Producer Rouanne

Another excellent Rhone Valley red from the stunning 2007 vintage. Coffee, red fruit and leather on the nose, with powerful tannins and rich fruit. Produced from 35-50 year-old vines the wine offers a tantalizing complexity and long finish. Exceptional value for money.

Pondalowie Heathcote Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasting Notes

Vintage 2007
Country Australia
Name Pondalowie
Producer Pondalowie

A great wine. Concentrated fruit characters but not over-done, no jammy characters here! Dense ripe fruit. This wine really punches above its price. I would happily pay 3000 yen as the quality  = 4000 yen, at 2000yen it is a real bargain! I wanted to keep it for the next day to see how it would develop but finished it in just under 2 hours!!

Zippy! I really liked this wine. Great summer drinking. The fruit was still lively and fresh as was the palate. Great length and persistence. I had it with some grilled salmon and it was a great match
