Mcmanis Cabernet Sauvignon 2011, California

Could not get past the candied fruit. Very sweet and disapointing.

Ghost Pines Winemaker's Blend Chardonnay 2007, Monterey/Napa/Sonoma Counties

Very light for a Chardonnary. Well-balanced and easy finish, but flavours were too subtle and unapparent. Light melon, honey and butter.

Jardin Barrel Fermented Chardonnay 2009, Wo Stellenbosch

Subtle tropical fruit notes. Creamy texture from oak-barrelled flavours of vanilla, and nuts combine to give it a buttery, caramel-like finish. Enjoyable.

Ogier Heritages Cotes Du Rhone 2009

Typical CDR smooth berry flavours, spice and a little bit of cedar and earth. Finish is dry and unbalanced.

Pierre Andre Bourgogne Pinot Noir Reserve Vielles Vignes 2009, Burgundy

Typical burgundy here with notes of sour cherries, rhubarb, raspberries. spice, cedar, a little smoke and earth. The acidity is well balanced allowing the fruit to show nicely. Light towards medium bodied with low tannins and some minerality. While not overly complex, it's a nice sipper for the spring and summer months.

Tasted April, 2012.
