Another Month at WWWC

I keep finding notes I had written up, but can't find any pictures, sorry about that.

WEST WICHITA WINE CONNECTION        May Tasting

Sonoma County – the West Coast Tour continued

Opening Wine

2012 Alexander Valley Vineyard Dry Rose of Sangiovese, Alexander Valley, California

Light nose, color similar to watermelon. Nice floral hints and a berry nose – a dry Rose of berry and melon flavors. Very nice sipper.

2009 Buena Vista Pinot Noir, Carneros, California

Nice light color; cherry and berry nose. Flavor echoes the nose with additional strawberry flavors. Not a deep wine, but a nice Pinot.

2005 Sebatiani Secolo (Red Blend), Sonoma, California

Closed nose initially, opened over time to bright red berries. Flavors of cherry cola, dark berries and a hint of earthiness. Fully aged at this point, little aftertaste, not tannins left.

2010 Alexander Valley Vineyard Cabernet Franc, Alexander Valley, California

Nose very unique, initially floral and herb – opening to lavender. Flavor is lavender, with hints of cola and cedar. Very nice wine with a moderate long finish.

2009 Gnarly Vines Zinfandel, Dry Creek, California

Nice fruity nose – flavors of cherry cola, raspberry and hints of black pepper. Little tame for a Dry Creek Zin, but overall pleasant.

 

Until next time, keep popping those corks and I’ll meet you behind the grape vines.
