Chateau Ste Michelle Vineyards-Indian Wells-Chardonnay-Columbia

Valley-Washington-2007-$15.99-A crisp nose of citrus and toast, medium

yellow color.  A pleasant  mix of spice, toast, pineapple, pear, nice acidity, just

right amount of oak, a good Chard.      RP-88      WS-88      CR-4-4.5

Good with seafood, chicken, salads.

Cambria Winery-Julia’s Vineyard-Pinot Noir-Santa Maria Valley-

California-2006-$17.99-A nose of spice and cherries, a little dark for a

Pinot.  At first a enjoyable Pinot, medium in weight, cherries, a little spice.

Second glass wine got tired, a little sour, it’s so hard to find a good Pinot

Noir under $25.   Somehow I missed what the critic tasted.    WE-93

(WE #1 Wine of 2009)      CR-3.5       Good with duck, veal, pork.
