NV Chateau aux Arc American Syrah

Brought a bottle home for further tasting.

Unoaked -- I liked that. Definitely more tangy than most chardonnays, but still typically buttery

Amazing cherry flavor, tart and sweet.

NV Post Familie Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon
(2008-03-23 02:53:42 UTC) buddy icon NV Post Familie Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 87/100

I'm not usually a Cabernet fan but this wine was fruity tasting and still a bit dry. Plummy? Pleasantly surprised.

Update: It's the nicest cab. sauv. I have ever tasted. Dry nose. Fruit is easily accessible; not sweet, but still present. Not totally oak-cask-y. That's one thing I really like about these Arkansas wines. Glad I didn't pass on this one.

Recommended to me as something similar to a riesling. Light, slightly crisp. Perhaps too subtle to stand out from the rest of the samples I tried at this winery.

Tasty and almost fizzy/bubbly.

2005 Post Familie Vineyard's Traditional Red
(2008-03-23 02:35:41 UTC) buddy icon 2005 Post Familie Vineyard's Traditional Red 80/100

Straightforward red. I guess this would suffice for cabernet sauvignon/merlot people.

NV Post Familie Pinot Grigio
(2008-03-23 02:32:56 UTC) buddy icon NV Post Familie Pinot Grigio 80/100

Sort of an overpowering aroma of whatever attribute in this wine pairs with seafood. So much so, that I wouldn't choose to serve it on its own. Otherwise a crisp, light, straightforward pinot grigio.

NV Post Familie Ives Noir
(2008-03-23 02:27:26 UTC) buddy icon NV Post Familie Ives Noir 85/100

Fresh, fruity. Red fruits, berries. Not too dry, but I didn't actually find it to be sweet either. Like a gamay noir. Update: very fruity, muscadine-tasting, with an appropriately sweet aroma. Maybe a muscadine-blend?

2006 Post Familie Vineyards Chardonnay

Not bad. Unoaked chardonnay; lighter, crisper, but still buttery and slightly bitter.
