Smokey yellow roses, cinnamon, fruit cocktail, white pepper.
(89 points)

Sauvignon Lafoa ‘05
Ripe, rich, a little toasty. Touch of sage and elderflower. Fat malo palate. Little sauv bl edge to finish. Needs food. Smoked salmon?
(89 points)

Schiava ‘06 (vernatsch)
Between a deep rose and a light pinot color. Dark fruit (granite?). Strawberry underneath. Use like Beaujolais.

Spicy sweet moss and raw beef aromas. Sweet tannins and firm acids. Sweet fruit.
(90 points)

Merlot Riserva Siebeneich ‘03

(87 points)

Pinot Nero Villa Nigra ‘04
Needs to continue to develop. Has sweet fruit. Very dark mineral. Still integrating its oak.

Cabernet Sauvignon Lafoa ‘03

Surprising color, deep. Sleepy, smokey nose. Black fruit and pepper. Plump toasty and fresh but surprisingly dark and deep.

Gewurztraminer Passito Canthus ‘05
Lychee and peach jam. Not the most complex but very satisfying. Use a bit like Tokaji.
