Thumbprint Cellars-Westside Vineyard-Chardonnay-Russian River Valley-2007-$12.96-A very
crisp nose of citrus and spice, good yellow color. Honey and pear, apple, and orange/lemon citrus. An
interesting and different enjoyable Chardonnay. This is the third varietal I have reviewed for this
winery, this Chard, a Pinot Noir and a Red Blend, all were very good and well valued, all with this
interesting label. I visited their tasting room in Sonoma a few years back, worth the trip. NR
CR-4-4.5 Good with seafood, salads, chicken.
Leeuwin Estate-Art Series-Cabernet Sauvignon-Margaret River-Australia-2004-$29.99-A
nose of plum and spice, very dark in color. A smooth, nice tasting wine, plums, chocolate, with some
vegetal qualities. A well made wine, came with a screw cap unusual for a premium wine, their
labels are commissioned from different artists. RP-87 WS-88 CR-4-4.5 Good with
prime rib, salad, pasta.
