Friday evening, we went to the Cincinnati Wine Festival, an event that we missed the past two springs (although we did hit a smaller but comparable event in Madison, NJ). I scribbled a few tasting notes about some new wines and a couple we've previously had:
Whites
Stag's Leap Karia Chardonnay: bright and fruity
Mondavi Chardonnay: rounder and softer than the Karia; oaky, but not too
Zaca Mesa Rousanne and Zaca Mesa Viognier: both incredibly drinkable, lovely
Reds
Clos du Val Cabernet: dark fruit and leather
Pine Ridge Stag's Leap Cabernet: soft, big and full of dark, ripe fruit (blueberries)
Pine Ridge Oakville Cabernet: interestingly different from the Stag's Leap; brighter, with more fresh, red fruit (raspberries)
St. Clement Oroppa Cabernet: SGS (seriously good sh*t)
Titus Zinfandel: SGS
Provenance Rutherford Cabernet: SGS

Wow! This is the first ever SGS rating for our Napa Valley Zinfandel (Titus). I'm glad you enjoyed it and you'll have to let us know if you ever make it out to Napa Valley, we'd love to have you visit the Titus Ranch House - Cheers, Emily (Titus Vineyards)
