2003 Goretti Sagrantino di Montefalco Le mura saracene Tasted by paulst. Weak fruit with some mocha - light finish. Think more time is needed.

Started out with aromas of pure red fruit and a hefty dollop of what I thought was oregano and someone else thought was cedar box; probably somewhere in between. This really evolved after several hours. Best after about two hours. It wwas bursting with red fruit flavors to start, but that integratd into a combination of that with old world flavors working harmoniously together. Then, after about 3-4 hours, all that was left were tannins and little flavor. Quite a bit of sediment at the bottom. Rating reflects peak (2-3 hours into it).

Enormous aromatic profile. Cinnamon, ripe strawberry, roses, cassifruit and o so fresh and exciting. A complex, mouth filling wine. Loads and layers of fruit, very ripe and sweet, but not overdone. Fresh, deep and creamy. Solid ripe tannins. Superb lenght. Wow!! 95/100 (95 pts.) - Tasted 5/25/2008. $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ 2005 Mitolo Shiraz G.A.M. Tasted by Eckie. No formal tasting notes, but a delicious refined Shiraz. The fruit is very much there, but not like an ex-plosion and very much layered. Good stuff!

As good as advertised! Very smooth, balanced, and nice fruit. - Tasted 11/24/2008. $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ 2003 Château La Vieille Cure Tasted by Cibolo. Tasty, but not as good as hoped. Medium fruit, not as balanced as other values from region. - Tasted 12/23/2008. $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ 2004 Mitolo Shiraz Reiver Tasted by soegaard.

(94 pts.) - Tasted 12/31/2008. $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ 2005 The Winemakers' Collection Michel Rolland Cuvée No. 1 Château d'Arsac Tasted by cobbpa. Slightly vegetal nose, a little dark cherry or raspberry buried in there but it's a very closed nose--hard to pick anything out. Some fruit's there, the body is great, the tannins pull a ridiculous amount. I did get some chocolate on the back end, some fruit too. I enjoyed it with food and still feel that's it's a good wine because of it's body, structure, and the quality of components there. (89 pts.) - Tasted 11/24/2008. $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ 2005 Pride Mountain Vineyards Merlot Tasted by Vine. Popped and poured. Simple aromas of fruit, mocha, and vanilla. Medium bodied (at least compared to other recent vintages of this wine). Very smooth up front, refined flavors of blackberries, cocoa, and prominent oak. Tannins are noticeable yet supple on the medium-short finish, with the oak winning out in the end. Seems to lack the concentration one would expect from a Foley made Merlot but that could just be the 2005 vintage. This may get better...but this is the 2nd time I've tried the '05, and, IMO, not nearly as good as any of the previous 4 vintages...and I am a big time Pride Mountain fan.

I actually liked the 2005 better and this did not taste or smell like a syrah that much. it's ripe, smooth but doesn't have alot of character for my money. (89 pts.) - Tasted 1/2/2009. $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ 2004 Ojai Syrah Melville Vineyard Tasted by EMichels. Slightly dry; Stonger tannins; Darker; Stronger (90 pts.) - Tasted 5/16/2008. $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ 2005 The Winemakers' Collection Michel Rolland Cuvée No. 1 Château d'Arsac Tasted by bhm. (91 pts.) - Tasted 1/2/2009. $ FIND THIS WINE on WINE-SEARCHER.COM $ 2006 Neyers Syrah Old Lakeville Road Tasted by Vinacull. Day 2 from the decanter. Nose is nearly the same, with the exception of a mild acetone aroma. On the palate there is significant improvement. Like yesterday there is still the tongue-coating fruit of blackberries, black cherry, and blueberries, but now also significant weight from earth and minerals, and a day of air has brought out some fine grained tannins as well. A slight medicine or band aid element in midpalate, but barely noticeable. For me this is much more enjoyable and distinctive on day 2. Hopefully this portends what this wine can achieve with time.
