2002 Rex Hill Pinot Southern Oregon
Written By: Michael Zimberg on Thursday, July 3, 2008
Complex nose of earth, mushrooms, and pine needles. Somewhat closed and austere. With more fruit would be great. It has all the other elements. Drink up- don't think this will improve. Maybe a bad bottle? Not enjoyable.

2004 Artadi Vinas de Gain
Written By: Michael Zimberg on Wednesday, July 2, 2008
Rockin. Tastes expensive. Lovely velvet, graphite, mocha and cedar make up the very complex nose. Lush and expansive on the palate, with long, smooth tannins. Very well put together. I am a fan. Still needs more time. With my wife's salmon with spiced red wine.

2004 Pine Ridge Crimson Creek Merlot
Written By: Michael Zimberg on Tuesday, July 1, 2008
Full, dark ruby. Lively, subdued pretty small berries and tell-tale leather. A pretty, more feminine style of Merlot. Lots of tannins and acid in on the finish, however, but integrated well. Not very Californian. Works well with a steak. Will improve with a few more years in the cellar.
