Loring Wine Company-Cargasacchi Vineyard-Pinot Noir-Sta. Rita Hills-California-2007-14.0% Alcohol-$26.05-A nose of cherry and some spice, dark amber in color.  A medium bodied Pinot, with black cherry, currants, cola and spice on finish, must be some Syrah in wine as it’s dense for a Pinot.    A bit underwhelming for a single vineyard.                    WS-91                 WE-87               CR-88                Good with meats, chicken, pasta.

J.M. Cazes Proprietaire-Domaine Des Senechaux-Chateauneuf-Du-Pape-France-2007-14.5% Alcohol-$29.99-A nose of dark fruits and spice, dark garnet in color.   A medium bodied CDP, with currants, cherries, tea and dusty spice on finish, a solid wine.                WS-92               CR-90                  Good with meats, chicken, pasta.
