Full review: http://blog.oe-no-phile.com/2009/06/leading-revolution-with-boisterous.htmlTasting NotesAppearance: Clear and darker than any French Pinot Noir. Cranberry red in color -very bright.Nose: Clean nose with some development, as indicated by more earthy/vegetal aromas. Black cherry, raisin, plum fruits - almost fruit that's been gently stewed. Licorice, vanilla, and spice. Mushroom, soil, and a funky cabbage aroma are behind the fruit, and create a nice sense of depth. This is a little more complex than the average fruit-bomb you'll find along the west coast.Palate: Dry with acidity and alcohol edging the high end of medium. Tannins are noticeable on gums and around teeth, but don't cling harshly. Flavors of tart fruit - cranberry, crab apple - and light oak. I'm hesitant to say, having been so long since I've tasted it, but there's a slight hint of bacon to this wine as well.

Full review: http://blog.oe-no-phile.com/2009/07/rose-to-kick-all-other-roses-in-teeth.htmlTasting Notes Appearance: Clear with medium+ intensity. Definitely darker/deeper than many a rose - somewhere between rose and cranberry juice pink. Nose: Just shy of being incredibly aromatic, the youthful aromas definitely jump out. Included are grapefruit, citrus, lemon, cherry, strawberry, very soft vegetal, and floral notes. Palate: Dry wine with medium+ acidity, body, and alcohol. Each sip leaves your mouth watering, making for a very refreshing wine. Flavors are medium in intensity and make me think of cranberry, sour cherry, lemon, green apple, pineapple and other tropical fruit, and bell pepper - thank you C.S.
