Roaring good wines

Here's "Granny Grape" reporting on another outstanding bevy of beauties. Reuben Katz at CIA in St. Helena generously gave me wines that were being enjoyed at the 3rd Annual Robert Parker Wine Tasting Seminar (pinot noir and red burgundies). I tasted with nose, mouth and eyes and each one was more interesting than the next. One of the group's favorites was the Roar 2004 Pinot Noir Gary's Vineyard- Santa Lucia Highlands. Gaze on its splendor here and maybe you can imagine its taste while you're at it.

RP rated this wine 94 points and described it as full-bodied, fleshy, beautifully expansive, well-integrated and fragrant. Unfortunately we can't see fragrant under the microscope, its part of the angel's share into the air.

Stay tuned for other beauties from Burgundy and California Pinots. These high-scoring wines are now available as limited edition prints to decorate your wine cellar. Edition size only 30.
