California bottlings tend to be a little fruitier, more alcoholic & lower in acidity. The Oregon wines tend to offer darker, earthier fruit, firmer acidity, and more tannic structure for aging. Syrah, Tensley Johnny s 2009 (N115a) Pure expression of ripe black fruit from great hillside vineyard sites; a product of long hang time & thoughtful winemaking. Syrah, K Vintners Pheasant Vineyard 2009 (N303d) Really vivid & firm. Not quite full but very long. 19

Michel Torino Don David 2009 (N107c) has good freshness, beautiful blue fruit, excellent length & a nice soft palate presence. The Malbec, Cuvelier Los Andes 2010 (N719b) is the classic big-framed, firm, fruity, fresh malbec for steak off the wood grill. Carménère is most successful with grilled meats like lamb, venison and buffalo. The fresh blue & black fruit, grilled herb character and natural freshness balance the intensity of flavor in these dishes. Terrunyo is the benchmark producer of Carménère in Chile. 20
