2009 Quaking Hills “Hidden Springs Vineyard” Viognier
The overall sensation is fresh and tropical. Drink with grilled shrimp.
2009 Dry Creek Vineyard Estate Sauvignon Blanc DCV3
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” Malbec
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.
2003 Freiherr Langwerth von Simmern Hattenheimer Nussbrunnen Riesling Auslese
On the sweeter side of off-dry. Hints of dried apricot and Meyer lemon on the mid-palate. Ripe, even bruised, rather than tart, apples linger on the finish. Recommended. DH
2007 Guarachi Cabernet Sauvignon
The inaugural wine from Guarachi Family Vineyards. Great choice. The wine showcases what a great winemaker, Paul Hobbs, can do in one of Napa's best years. This is a big wine in a big bottle, and it should share the table with a big steak, perhaps a cowboy ribeye. Highly Recommended. DH
