TN: 97 Leonetti Walla Walla Sangiovese:

No nose to speak of (the wine was pretty cold) I let it warm up and there was some plum fruit, soft tannin, and not much else in a wine that was not so bad but not so great either. This particular bottle was of questionable provenance.

TN: 1998 Mondavi Reserve Cab:

Very complex , spicy nose. More spice.herb, black cherry, espresso, with really firm (almost harsh) tannin. The nose promised something the taste doesn’t deliver yet - needs a few years.

TN: 1998 Heitz Cab:

Rich nose with lots of dried berry. Very complex with cigar box, white pepper, herb garden, black fruit with a nice, firm leathery finish. Seemed “brighter” than the Mondavi but that’s probably just personal preference.

TN: 1998 Merryvale Profile - corked

TN: 1997 Mount Veeder Reserve:

Luscious , robust nose. Full of chocolate, herb, mineral, espresso, currant, black cherry, just enough tannin. Nice, lingering finish
