  1. There were many wines tasted this month and there were a few good ones that I enjoyed from this tasting that I would search out to purchase:
    O2 Alimant laugner) Nice fruit, very enjoyable, cremant style that I enjoy in champagne (90)
    3 Madrona Reserve) – forward petrol, grass and drying, blew off to sweet finish and spice (89)
    7 Two Angels Cab – some forward green, round and full in mouth and slight back tanins, had Cab Franc. (89)
    9 Veget – Some barnyard, cherry earthy, good balance, dry some tannin finish with fruit (90)
    13 Reynella – big black fruit, good balance, some mid tannins (89)

    Happy tasting!
