****	Eventide VNS 2008: straw yellow, beautiful fruit and spice in the nose, juice and fruit on the palate, a little bit of expression and length on the palate

****	Eventide Sauvignon Blanc 2008: pale straw in the nose clean, but not overly expressive, fruity on the palate and solid acid structure, nice length

***	Eventide Viognier 2008: straw yellow, behave in the nose, not too spicy, a little apple, straight on the palate, fresh, but without much expression and depth

*****

Mischa Cabernet Sauvignon 2005: dark, fresh ruby with purple edges, very deep flavors with fruit and balsamic notes, solid texture, very young, but classic and adaptable tannins, good potential

****	Eventide Cellar Cabernet Sauvignon 2006: fresh red licorice and blackberries in the nose, even vegetal traces behind, dense, robust, but also enormous amount of sharpness in the sticky tannins

****	Mischa Cerno 2007: dense, fresh red, very unusual nose, vegetal stinker like young Tempranillo, behind much sweet candy, solid, classical structure on the palate, yet totally unfinished wine, wait

***	Mischa Merlot 2007: dark, fresh ruby, sweet berry scent, aromatic pretty good depth, little depth on the palate, a little too sticky tannins, hardly length in severance

****	Mischa Shiraz 2006: dense, fresh Rubin, blueberries, black cherries, lots of substance and juice, spicy length in severance, tannins and a trace of something undefined and sticky in the finish

****	Mischa Eventide Shiraz 2006: dark, fresh Rubin, quite deep, spicy cherry fruit, even subtle spiciness on the palate, behind but little depth or texture, nice, fresh drinking wine
