Wine Tasting by an Uneducated Palate

Don't Miss, Yes, Maybe, No,
Avoid

Georges Vigouroux Cahors Château de Mercuès 2004
I want very much to like this wine. I had the opportunity to meet a representative of the vineyard at a tasting, and he was kind enough to speak French with me in spite of my halting French. The chateau is beautiful, and we may have the opportunity to visit soon. The wine is big, the fruit subtle, with lots of acidity and tannin.

Greg Norman Cabernet Merlot 2006
Nice red, starting spicy and ending cherry, becoming more cherry over time.

2007 Duckhorn Vineyards Napa Valley Sauvignon Blanc
The white wine served at the Obama inaugural lunch and the best Sauvignon Blanc I have ever tasted. Out of the bottle, there is a little of the typical herbal taste. But it quickly opens into a sweet floral nose and taste, with more body than most Sauvignon Blancs.
 

Sant'Orsola Asti
Sparkling dessert wine, refreshing, sweet but not cloying, with a light peach scent and taste. So far a hit with everyone we have shared it with.

2008 Fabre Montmayou Phebus MMC
Malbec, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon blend. A little grapey nose, but little else. Bland with a short finish.
