Evening Tasting
The theme was Languedoc-Roussillon and the wines were:
-Domaine l'Hortus, Bergerie de l'Hortus, Classique Blanc, 2006
40% Chardonnay, 25% Sauvignon Blanc, 35% Viognier
-Domaine Ligneres, Las Vals Blanc, Corbieres, 2004
100% Roussanne
-Moulin de Gassac, Guilhem, Vin de Pays de l'Herault, 2006
Syrah, Grenache, Cinsault, Carignane
-Domaine l'Hortus, Bergerie de l'Hortus, Pic Saint Loup, 2005
Syrah, Grenache, Mourvedre
-Domaine Ligneres, Las Vals Rouge, Cordieres, 2003
85% Mourvedre, 15% Syrah
Then Aaron opened:
-Onix, Grenache/Carignane, Priorat, 2006
Phenomenal! $14 and richly extracted, spicy black fruits, just a stunning little bottle of wine.
And Chris opened:
-D.R. Stephens, D.R. II, Cabernet Sauvignon, Napa, 2005
Excellent. At $55 it's a great value play in the luxury cab market.
I opened:
-Corra, Sauvignon Blanc, Napa, 2007
I was slightly disappointed with the Corra Sauvignon Blanc. I had such high hopes having recently tasted her 2004 Cabernet and also having just tasted a number of excellent Loire Valley Sauvignon Blancs. Corra's SB was good, but not unique in anyway. It was somewhat thin and had pleasent SB flavor profile and bright acidity, but nothing interesting about it. I really wanted to love this wine.
