McManis Petite Sirah 2008
The color of the 2008 Petite Sirah is of concentrated purple, with a youthful bright hue. The nose of the wine is full of ripe blackberry, boysenberry aromas, which are accompanied by mocha and hints of brown sugar. The berry aromas of the nose are also evident in the flavor, when the rich, full bodied wine enters the mouth. Notes of milk chocolate and anise linger, long after swallowing.
Nekeas Vega SInda Viura/Chardonnay 2008
Nekeas Vega Sinda Viura /Chardonnay – This wine is created in the northern most growing region of Navarra, is a crisp, refreshing white that beautifully melds the best of both grapes. Viura, comprising 75% of the blend, lends bright green apple, hints of flower petal, and a zippy acidity. Chardonnay contributes body and complexity, resulting in a white that is both casual and structured.
Tarima Monastrell 2009
This is the first vintage of this wine; the 2009 Tarima is 100% Monastrell sourced from 25-35 year old vines and raised in stainless steel with lees stirring. Medium crimson-colored, the nose reveals fragrant blueberries and underbrush. Firm on the palate with plenty of savory fruit, it is meant for drinking over the next 3 years.

John,
i have enjoyed the wines I have tasted and have every confidence that I will continue to enjoy subsequent choices.
The only inconveneince for those of us who don't live in redlands might be that there is no mail option; it's not always convenient for our sherpa to go pick up the wine and when he does go he has noticed that there are many members who have not picked up their orders.
I would think that holding those orders is not very convenient for Bob. Could a mail option be tried?
