Tasted the following interested wines worth noting:
Wolf Mountain ‘Instinct’ 2004, Lumpkin County, Georgia–blend of Syrah, Cab Sauvignon, Touriga Nacional and Mourvedre. Sweet smoke aromas, green pepper, plum, cassis with a whiff of vanilla. Smooth and silky with soft tannins. Medium/full bodied. The fav of the bunch in the line up.
Monsoon Valley Red 2003, Chao Phraya Delta, Thailand–an interesting blend of Pokdum, Black Muscat and Syrah. Very perfumed nose of sweet red fruits, raspberry and plum on the palate plus a touch of green pepper. A touch sweet. Light body. Definitely a good match for thai food or anything with a little spice kick.
Las Piedras ‘Arroyo Vineyards’ Syrah 2005, San Diego, County, California–picked this one up during a visit to Temecula. Beautiful ripe nose–boysenberry, black raspberry, currant and star anise notes. Smooth with short finish. Slightly bitter on the end. Perhaps more time in the bottle needed?
