Goldeneye Pinot Noir 2006

Region: Anderson Valley, California
Grapes: 100% Pinot Noir
ABV: 14.5%
Price: $60

Admittedly a little young, but with a couple hours in a decanter, it opened up wonderfully! With a very light color and a delicate nose, Goldeneye's 2006 offering is light and tart with elements of tobacco, coffee, and earth backed with brightness and lovely red berry notes. Complex and will become even more inviting as a few more years pass.

Vinterra Chardonnay 2006

Region: Napa Valley, California
Grapes:
Chardonnay
ABV: 13.5%
Price: $15

Light and bright at first glance with a pleasant nose of melon, comes across very earthy and oaky, almost, but not completely, masking a background of citrus. Very dry. For oak lovers.

Tin Roof Sauvignon Blanc 2005

Region: North Coast, California
Grapes: Sauvignon Blanc
ABV: 13.5%
Price: $7

Pale amber with lots of crisp citrus and tangy tropical fruits. Very acidic, but not unpleasant. Would be great with spicy food.
