[mykerem.com - A Network Of Wine Knowledge] Golan Heights Winery: My Annual Visit and Many Tasting Notes (K ...: Golan Heights Winery, Chardonnay, Katzrin, 2002: Now deep, almost bronzed gold in color, remaining as full-bodied and complex as in its youth but now maturing nicely and today, with its oak nicely subdued, showing only the barest hint of smoky wood, that serving as a backdrop for summer fruits, pears and citrus. Earlier roasted nuts, minerals and a hint of cream continue to play nicely on the palate but looik now for notes of herbs and spices that are creeping in.

[PALATE PRESS] Our Favorite Wines of 2009 : PALATE PRESS: It reminded Joe of the interesting white blends that used to come out of Australia a few years back, before they started sending us .There are flavors of cherry and plum pies in the mid-palate , and a long finish of caramel and crème brulée.

[Brazenly Lucid Wines] Brazenly Lucid Wines :: STAN'S TOP 40 WINES UNDER TWENTY BUCKS IN 2009: Dark fruit on sweet tannins with an excellent balance of acidity that drives the fruit flavors through the mid-palate into an excellent and lingering finish. I am sure that if I really sucked the air through this wine and gave it some intensive thought I would detect some Syrah notes but at first taste I did not get any smoke or bacon fat flavors, mostly boysenberry and plum notes with hints of anise and mocha.

The nose of the wine shows strong and prominent herbal, tobacco and caramel aromas, backed up by some light black fruits.

[The Wine Spies] 2006 Wirra Wirra Vineyards Woodhedge Shiraz « The Wine Spies: A case in point, the Woodhenge Shiraz named for the massive Post and Rail fence which borders one of our best shiraz vineyards situated directly out the front of the winery, shows the plums and rich dark berry fruits of the variety, coupled with the round silky texture, and intense mid palate power for which McLaren Vale is so well known.

[Fermentation: The Daily Wine Blog] Fermentation: The Daily Wine Blog: A Great Wine Can Still Be A ...: The versatility of this grape is made even clearer when yo consider that unlike so many other varieties, Sauvignon Blanc has found no real home in the United States. Cabernet has Napa, four or five regions are associated with stellar Pinot Noir, Zinfandel from Dry Creek Valley is often spoken of, Chardonnay and Carneros are closely linked, while Gewurztraminer and Riesling seem to be the rising starts in Anderson Valley.

[Wine Tasting, Vineyards, in France] Wine Tasting, Vineyards, in France: Tzora (Judean Hills, Israel): Kibbutz Tzora kept growing grapes for other wineries as it did before, but Ronnie James could at last makes wine there from part of the grape production, I would guess from the best of the grapes that Tzora grew, as along the years he had learned which plots and combination of varieties/terroirs yielded the best result. Ronnie James passed away last year in april, alas, and we couldn't ask him firsthand about his experience.

[WineLog Blog] Vinopanion | Blog | Napa Valley Wine & Food Recommendations: They have a large variety of great wines including very well-priced back-vintage Cab's and a wonderful and rare white, Sauvignon Vert. It's kind of a much more greener (in a good, refreshing way) Sauvignon Blanc, but more, I guess, Limey- flavored with lots of crisp acidity.

[Dr Vino's wine blog] Which wine would you take as a gift overseas? | Dr Vino's wine blog: Mauritson's Rockpile Cemetary Vineyard Zin is a real gem, great complexity and fruit concentration. If you want to give a spectrum of merlot or cabernet sauvignon, I would have to include wines from Carmel Valley, Arroyo Seco in Monterey, Santa Ynez Valley and Paso Robles.

[JJBuckley Fine Wines' Weblog] 2008 Bordeaux Tasting Notes « JJBuckley Fine Wines' Weblog: 70% new oak and 30% one year used barrels.  30hls/ha yields from 48 year old vines on a plateau next to and just under Chateau Pavie and above and adjacent to Pavie Macquin and across the small valley from Ausone.  Black vibrant purple core with fuchsia rim. Such a pretty nose of crushed flowers, rose petal, and sweet ripe black fruits including blackberry (mure) liquor and Super cassis de Dijon are persistent and precise.  Secondary nose of crushed rocks anise and fresh pavement adds complexity.  The entry on the palate is dense and precise showing off the ripe low-yielding polished fruit that expands nicely in the lush rich mid-palate.  In addition, complex mineral gravelly pulverized rocks dials up this wines credibility as one of the top efforts in the Right Bank year over year.  Tannins are precise and well integrated and match the plus concentration of fruit.  92-94 points, Andy Frieden, JJ Buckley Fine Wines
