2009 Fat Cat California Chardonnay
12.5% alc., pH 3.34, TA 0.62, Glucose/
Fructose 8.47 g/L, $10.
·
Very shy nose with faint aromas of green apples, pears,
and oak vanillin. An easy drinker with pleasant and confected flavors of pears,
toffee, green apple candy, and spice. A respectable “chick” quaff, especially
when chilled, that has low alcohol and will please the crowd of wine drinkers
who like residual sugar in their Chardonnay. Not for connoisseurs. Decent.

2009 Fat Cat California Pinot Noir
12.5% alc., pH 3.56, TA 0.56, Glucose/
Fructose 4.25 g/L, $10. From Bronco Wine Company. Winemaker John
Allbaugh.
·
Faint perfume of dark fruits. Fairly rich and tasty core of plum and
blackberry flavors with some oak in the background. Mildly firm tannins provide
structure and restrained oak contributes interest. Not easily recognizable as
Pinot Noir, but a casual and mellow drink that matches the jazz theme on the
label. Decent.
