Dre Washington State Mourvedre 2010

Somewhat muted nose. Great acid, nice tannin. Surprisingly light mouthfeel. Good, but overall a little disappointing from what I was expecting.

Edit day 2:

I'm beginning to believe that one can learn how good a wine is by how well it transitions from day to day. This wine improved on Day two a fair amount. I have a feeling that this wine is young yet. It also needs some decent air.

Way more fruit on day two. Really, really nice spice/pepper.

Charles Smith

Kungfu Girl Washington State Riesling 2013

I'm certainly a neophyte when it comes to riesling. As for wines from Charles Smith, I've had my fair share, and this does not disappoint. Limes and Peaches so bright and ripe, that you brace for the acidity... only to instead be greeted a nice pillow of chalk that holds it all together. — 11 years ago
