TRL/Staff/Wine = 8/7/6
With this wineries success at the Sonoma County Harvest Fair, we thought it fair to give it a try. We were quite disappointed…

2005 Fume Blanc: $20/$16/$16
Too tart.

2005 Chardonnay: $28$/22/$-
Good social chard.

2005 Summer White: $19/$15/$12

2005 “Pin up Series III”: $16/$13/($10-$22)
Rose’s are for some people; they are not usually for me.

2005 DLM Tina’s Vineyard Pinot Noir: $32/$26/$12
I don’t know how you can possible screw up a block of grapes from Tina Maple, but they did.

2005 Flying Rooster Pinot: $36/$-/$16

2005 Flying Rooster Red: $22/$18/$16

2005 Felta Creek Zinfandel: $26/$21/$25
The nose made our head snap; could have been corked.

2006 DLM Felta Creek Vineyard Primitivo: $34/$27/$25
I don’t know why wineries insist on using the Italian name for Zinfandel and marketing it as something different (Primitivo); it’s the same damn grape. This might have been a good wine, it was just too young.

2004 “Pin up Cabaret Series III”: $38/$30/$28
This wine was a 2006 Harvest Fair Gold Medal Winner but I wasn’t compelled to buy it.

2005 Cabernet Sauvignon, Estate Vineyard: $38/$30/$30
