2006 Pegasus Bay Sauvignon Blanc
(New Zealand / South Island / Canterbury / Waipara)
RATED: 12/25/2008
COMMENTS: Big melon and pungent grapefruit aromas show prominently on the nose. The mouth feel is creamy and round on the one hand, tart and angular on the other, with flecks of pepper. Flavors are gooseberry, melon, steamed carrots, and grass. Refreshing with roast turkey and sage herbed stuffing. The finish is long and memorable.

2005 Ridge Vineyards Zinfandel - Geyserville - 40th Anniversary vintage
(USA / California / Sonoma / Alexander Valley)
RATED: 01/24/2009
COMMENTS: Nice wine! Layers of dark fruit reveal themselves against a slightly gritty tannic structure with harmonious acidity. A vein of eucalyptus cuts across the mid-palate, trading off with peppery spice, methanol, orange peel, citrus, black tea, vanilla, wild rice, and pencil shavings. On the second day the wine still shines. The palate is continually invigorated, attention and interest never waning.

2007 Main Divide Pinot Noir
(New Zealand / South Island / Canterbury / Waipara)
RATED: 01/24/2009
COMMENTS: The nose shows aromas of cherry and earth. The palate expresses cherry and raspberry fruits, dry earth, forest floor, barnyard, tar, panfried mushrooms and black olives. Round in the mouth, the wine's acidity is well integrated with the fruit and the tannins are hardly perceptible. There is a little too much 'stewed fruit' flavor for my taste, and the wine lacks focus at this early stage. A second bottle was opened and drunk over an entire week and the wine never faded. Happily, the fruit settled down and the wine gained additional complexity and focus. Another year or two in the bottle will do this wine some good.

2006 Chateau Des Travers - Opimian
(France / Rhone / Southern Rhone / Rasteau)
RATED: 12/26/2008
COMMENTS: This is a full-bodied offering with smooth texture, great structure, and up front GSM fruit characters. Complexity comes in the form of a peppery/tannic mid-palate, minerals, herbs, and some barnyard influences on the finish.

2006 Solar de Sael - Mencia, Bierzo - Opimian
(Spain / Castilla y Leon)
RATED: 01/02/2009
COMMENTS: Big candied raspberry and cherry aromas on the nose. The palate: richer and more complex than the nose would suggest, with fruit elements beautifully integrated with a grainy tannic structure, balanced acidity, spice, and timber elements from oak aging. Made from eighty-year-old vines and aged in a mixture of American and French oak for ten months-a real palate-teaser that's hard to pin down.

2006 Domaine du Val des Rois - Valreas - Opimian
(France / Rhone / Southern Rhone / Cotes du Rhone Villages)
ALCOHOL: 14.0%
RATED: 01/24/2009
COMMENTS: Made from 85-year-old vines. The nose shows berry fruits, liquorice, and a fine herbal aroma. It's round and soft on the palate, medium to full bodied with layers of deep red and blue fruits mingling with gentle spicy notes, interesting and complex. The acidity is balanced, and the tannins are soft but clearly present giving firmness to the fruit. The fruit, herbs and spice notes carry through to the finish where the ripe tannins are more evident.

2006 Domaine des Romarins - Plateau de Signargues - Opimian
(France / Rhone / Southern Rhone / Cotes du Rhone Villages)
RATED: 01/19/2009
COMMENTS: The nose reveals hints of red fruits and herbs, but is rather closed at the moment. By contrast, the flavors on the palate are very inviting, showing dark berry fruits, flowers, herbs, spice and cedar. The wine has excellent tannic grip that keeps the fruit in check. It is already delicious, but it has the stuff to get better with time.
