With mocha, blackberry, raspberry, plum, and cedar, this is an elegant and complex wine with a hint of vanilla on the palate that gives way to soft tannins and a full, fleshy mouth feel.

Bodegas Julian Chivite Gran Feudo Crianza 2004, Navarra ~ Spain
Clear, with a brilliant medium-red cherry color, this is a well-balanced blend of soft fruits, oak, and spice. It produces a little spice with soft hints of toast on the palate, and "confit" reminiscences.

An intense deep red with aromas of red fruits. Although woody and smoky on the nose, it is robust and well structured on the palate, with present tannins and a long final.

De Bortoli Windy peak pinot Noir 2007, Victoria ~ Australia

De Bortoli Windy Peak Sauvignon Blanc Semillon 2007, Victoria ~ Australia
A pale lime color mixed with gooseberries, lemon, pineapple, passion fruit, grass, and spice. The palate needs to warm to show gooseberries and lemons, passion fruit, and a gentle herbaceous. A little steely.

Sacred Hill Reserve Sauvignon Blanc 2007, Marlborough ~ New Zealand

Vina Tabali Reserva Especial Chardonnay 2006, Limari Valley ~ Chile
A golden-colored wine that is fresh, intense, and complex to the nose, where mineral aromas predominate elegantly, complemented by hints of honey and citric fruits that evoke a smooth maturity. With balanced acidity and a pleasant buttery touch, it has a toasted aromatic finish.
