2009 Rodney Strong Symmetry
If you can't wait, pair it with a very well marbled ribeye. Highly Recommended. DH
2009 Dry Creek Vineyard Estate Sauvig...
A very interesting blend of tropical fruit and citrus, mango and tangerine over white grapefruit, with a hint of cut grass. Very highly recommended.
2009 Gauchezco “Plata” Ma...
Overall feel is very lush, with silky tannins, moderate acids, and a long finish that ends where it started, with violets scents lingering. Well-priced for the quality, drink this and spend the money you saved on prime filet to match. Highly recommended. DH.
2009 St. Urbans-Hof Ockner Bockstein ...
With its sweet creaminess, it is a sure crowd-pleaser to pour for the pre-dinner kitchen klatch at any party or family gathering. Highly Recommended. DH
2009 Domaine Debray Bourgogne Hautes ...
A true low-alcohol Bourgogne for half the price of a tooth-staining California pinot, this shows true balance and minerality. Strawberries, some raspberries, and damp black earth shoveled over hot coals show on the nose. On the palate the fruit is more muted, hinting at a dumb phase calling for a couple of years in the cellar. Raspberries and strawberries, in that order, still show, but they have equal billing with smoky earth and leafy spices, sage and marjoram. The taste of fresh-licked river stone comes out with bright acids and cranberry on the finish. There is a lot of complexity here, particularly for the price, and it should reward patience in the cellar. Drink with pork loin. Recommended. DH
