OK no real notes but quick impressions of the night.

My allergies are way too intense to give real notes. The tasting was a lot of fun. After, we had several people over to taste some other stuff.

Of note:
Radio Coteau(sp); this is some serious juice. The balance on this is perfect. Don't ask me the single vineyard as we let the rest of the bottle go home to the guy who loved it the most.

Loring, Brosseau Vineyard, '03... This is only the third Loring wine I've tasted as this isn't available in Maryland. The first two did NOT impress me. This one did. The fruit showed beautifully; still not a blockbuster, but a hell of a lot of fun.

Nickle and Nickle Darien Vineyard Syrah '05; This bottle needs some more bottle time. That being said, it also shows great fruit and ripeness. Very well done! This winery never lets me down!

Dalla Valle '96 ; This wine is showing sooooo much youthfulness; wil finiah in yhe norning
