Bought this at Crush Wines and had with great Greek food at Trattorria Akra.
2008 Scholium Project Naucratis Lost Slough Vineyards - USA, California, Central Valley, Clarksburg (8/4/2010)
Great pairing with Greek food. Great lemon oil and citrus on the palate. Crisp but not crispy. Had a very nice mouthfeel and a heavier weightt than I would have expected. (91 pts.)
Had with a superb lunch at Mark Hotel
2007 Hirsch Vineyards Pinot Noir San Andreas - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (8/4/2010)
Rhubarb, rasberry, licorice, cranberry and forest floor. A bit of a green stem finish. Nice backbone and structure. Bright acidity. (90 pts.)
Bought at Crush. A wine to look for. Very different.
2008 Bedrock Wine Co. The Bedrock Heirloom - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Valley (8/3/2010)
Freakishly fun with zin black flavors that are dark fruit with a guttural fruitiness. Heavy but not overbearing. Still really young. Needs a few hour decant. Other grapes create an interesting conversation around blackberries and saddle leather. (90 pts.)
Bought off the list at Tbar Steakhouse. Great meal.
2008 Turley Zinfandel Juvenile - USA, California (8/3/2010)
Somewhat disappointing. Decent red fruit but a bit of a sour and tannic finish. Don't think time helps this one. Just average. (86 pts.)
