TRL/Staff/Wine = 9/7/62006 Sauvignon Blanc Dry Creek Valley: $22/-/$18
Big nose for stainless steel fermentation; lemony. I was enthused about this one.
2005 Chardonnay Sonoma County: $32/-/$18
50% new oak; smooth beginning (crisp), but wanes and doesn’t finish.
2006 Sonoma County Viognier: $30/-/$22
3-4 yrs old French oak barrels. Classic viognier nose, likes sweet vanilla. Fruit doesn’t appear on the palate. Served too cold.
2005 Dry Creek Valley Winery Ranch Block Zinfandel: $30/-/$30
Very full bun to overpowering nose. Full fruit – no tang to it. Gentle fruit, but medium-bodied and flavorful.
2003 Merlot Sonoma County: $40/-/$30
Blended w/ Cab Franc & Malbec. Bordeaux-style with a velvety finish & low fruit.
