2004 Equinoccio Nebbiolo
Aromas of plum black fruit, with a hint of spice. This wine is very dark in color and Full-bodied. Coats your palette with cherry, black currants and a hint of cedar. Chewy tannins and a long finish. Hard not to drink now, but better after 2008.

2003 Equinoccio Syrah
Offers blackberry, smoke tar and a hint of cedar – Followed by vibrant mineral, coffee and spices. Very long finish with silky tannins. Fleshes out in the glass. Super effort and excellent syrah. Sold Out

2004 DQ
Cabernet – Syrah blend with aroma of cherry, plum and a hint of cedar. The sweet fruit is soft, but vibrant with a nice finish. Nice color easy drink red. Drink now

Macouzet Cabernet-Merlot 2003
Supple nose of currants and plum. flavors of blackberry, plum with Hints of mocha. Soft tannins and well integrated. Shows some complexity with a great finish. Good value for a Cabernet – Merlot blend of this quality drink now.

Macouzet Tempranillo 2003
This concentrated red delivers a solid core of black fruit, tar and tobacco. Tannins soften on the spicy finish, where the fruit lingers. Drink now or age a few years will only get better.

Vinisterra Grenache-Tempranillo 2002
Aromatic, expressive and alluring. This red is very concentrated showing Kirsch, Blackberry, Cassis and chocolate. Flavors are deep and harmonious. Tannins clamp down on the long finish. This wine needs time to open up. Give it a few hours to breath or cellar. Exceptional world class wine. Best after 2008.
