Tonight's Wines and Tasting Notes

Good wine selection tonight! We tasted:

Snoqualmie Vineyards Chardonnay - unlike any chardonnay I've tasted, this was a little sweeter than your usual chard. Very refreshing!

Seven Daughters White Blend - a blend of French Colombard, Sauvignon Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling, Orange Muscat, Chardonnay and Symphony. It sounds like it would be really sweet, but it wasn't. It had beautiful melon aromas and was a good balance of sweet and citrus.

Snoqualmie Vineyards Merlot - velvety smooth on the palate. A few people mentioned that there was a somewhat bitter aftertaste, but I didn't get that at all. This would be perfect with cheese and crackers.

Seven Daughters Red Blend - a blend of Merlot, Zinfandel, Syrah, Carignan, Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. I tasted spices from the Zin and rich, ripe fruits from the Syrah. The Cab Franc gave it its body. Every mouthful showed different lush fruits.

Normally I don't like every wine at the tastings, but these were all very tasty!
