Not have too much time for this tasting event, so just memo some notes. Probably not very correct, but I am sure the Pinot Noir is the best one. BTW, the Cycles Gladiator Chardonnay is not tasted in this event, I think it's the best according my tasting experience, because the 11% viognier enriches the flavors.

Pinot Grigio 2009: pale straw. Medium- nose, appeals green apple, light honey and light muskmelon. A bit light body, easy to drink with medium acidity. The palate notes are quite similar to the nose. Length in palate is good.

Zinfandel Rose 2009: medium pink. Strawberry dominates the medium- nose and the light body. Also an easy to drink wine. I think good to pair with BBQ pork.

Pinot Noir 2008: Honestly, the best among these 4 wines. Black cherry and leather in the medium+ nose and palate. Tannin is smooth enough, but can be more velvet after more aging.

Cabernet Sauvignon 2009: Need more aging. The palate is a bit short, and the mouthfeel is a bit tannic as expected. Black berry, leather, and light green pepper.
