2005 Robert Rue Zinfandel Reserve
(2008-02-21 20:12:43 UTC)Nice mild fruit nose, taste was a bit flabby and wine was hot. I expected more for the price.
2005 Brian Benson Zinfindel
(2008-02-21 20:09:06 UTC)Nose: chocolate and cherry Taste: a lot like the nose, a chocolate covered cherry, bit off balance and hot. Nice but not good QPR.
2006 Rodney Strong Chardonney
(2008-02-20 01:24:25 UTC)This is exactly why I dont like Chardonney, I always get this taste out of California. Wine had a sour apple/grape componet with a TON of oak that was soooo fake. The finish was bitter and off balance. Drinkable but hardly enjoyable.
2006 La Crema Chardonnay
(2008-02-16 22:50:20 UTC)Nose: sawdust and pear, very interesting..Taste: bit of a pear taste but sour which I did not like but the mid palate was butter and finish was a hint of smokiness which I really liked.
2005 Ravenswood Vintners Blend Cabernet Sauvignon
(2008-02-16 22:43:35 UTC)Nose: blackberry with a hint of spice ..Taste: nice black current with a slight pepper to it. Good balance and finish was ok. I can see this wine with some age being pretty good fro 9 dollars. Its not much different then alot of the cal cabs in stores but an ok wine.
2005 Ravenswood Napa Valley Zinfandel
(2008-02-16 22:40:56 UTC)Very drinkable and approachable zin but not complex. Good balance but with the qpr there are better zins out there.
2005 Ravenswood Lodi Zinfandel
(2008-02-16 22:37:51 UTC)Nose: tight, not much..Taste: nice medium wine but nothing earthshattering. I liked the balance but really it was a simple wine.
2004 Ravenswood Vintners Blend Merlot
(2008-02-16 22:35:17 UTC)Nose: tight, nothing Taste: flabby wine with blackberry and pepper, one dimensional with little finish. Nicely balanced so it was not a total throwout.
2006 Glen Ellen Reserve Pinot Grigio
(2008-02-16 01:31:28 UTC)Nose:green apple, not much. Taste: Lemonade taste with alcohol. Honestly one of the worst wines I have had.
2006 Gnarly Head Old Vine Lodi Zinfandel
(2008-02-16 01:29:02 UTC)Nose: Margerin and Oregano Taste: had that traditional old vine taste, solid spice and balance. One dimensional with weak finsih but it was solid QPR.
