2007 DuMOL Chardonnay Clare - USA, California, Sonoma County, Carneros (9/11/2010)
Fabulous chard. Lemon curd and creme brulle. Awesome mouthfeel from acidity and weight of the wine. Some other tropical fruits lingered in the mouth on finish. Great. (95 pts.)
2005 Jonata Winery La Fuerza de Jonata - USA, California, Central Coast, Santa Ynez Valley (9/11/2010)
This wine was a beast. It was so thick you had to chew it. Major profile of blackberry, black cherry and a forest floor/moss component that made you think your were actually drinking in the wilderness. It was my first experiment with all Petit Verdot and I think it is best used in a blend for my palate. (90 pts.)
2006 Papapietro Perry Pinot Noir Mukaida Vineyards - USA, California, Sonoma County, Sonoma Coast (9/10/2010)
Young, vibrant strawberry and raspberry fruit. Worked for me. Not cerebral. In your face calii fruit. (94 pts.)
2007 Anthill Farms Pinot Noir Anderson Valley - USA, California, North Coast, Anderson Valley (9/10/2010)
Typical murky profile in glass. Bright red fruit of raspberry, strawberry and red cherry jumped out out of the glass and ricocheted in your mouth. Light to medium in weight. Just a fun wine. (92 pts.)
2008 Kinero Grenache Blanc Alice Blackseth Vineyard - USA, California, Central Coast, Paso Robles (9/10/2010)
Beautiful deep straw color. Great way to start a wine night. Bright acidity and tropical/citrus fruit. Some of the rougher edges have mellowed out since the last tasting. Defintiely in a good window. (91 pts.)

I've been wanting to try a DuMol chard - sounds like a 2007 would be a good place to start.
