Hangtime Pinot Noir Burgundy 2006

12.7%
Apellation Bourgogne Controlee, France
Imported by: Folio Wine Company, Napa, CA

Pinot nose of tart berry and cherry. Tart yet smooth fruit flavors. Quite drinkable but not overly exciting. Light body with a good tannin finish. Actually a pretty decent lower end Pinot.

Grand Ardeche Chardonnay 2006

13.5%
Vin de Pays des Coteux de L'ardeche, France
Imported by: Louis Latour, San Rafael, CA

Nice honey and citrus nose. Smooth and buttery with a little crispness. Pretty sweet and soft finish. Decent stuff I guess, but I like a little more mineral.
