Toasty, oaky flavor with a solid honey finish. A good wine that delivers full flavor.

Apple with soft honey and oaky finish. Nothing over powering and a pretty mainstream pinot. A good summer sipping wine.

Review notes:
Really clear and almost cranberry juice color. Not much on the nose, simple velvety mouth feel, plum and black cherry taste with a bit of pepper. Low acidity.

Food I tasted it with: Pan seared salmon over rice noodles paired with a sweet and sour dressing
Review notes:
Floral and buttery on the nose, viscous with a zesty finish, almost like a bakes granny smith apple in the mouth, giving way to a red delicious apple finish.

Review notes:
Thick hardy Australian Shiraz that doesn’t leave your teeth purple like some of the other big brands. Good balance of fruit with alcohol start and zippy tannins for a strong finish.

This is an excellent deal for the price. Can find it on sale for under $10. Very complete wine with tart but sweet and soft vanilla finish. I am going to stock up.

This was a gift from friends Scot and Robbie. It is a from a their family’s vineyard. Excellent and not overpowering with mocha, raspberry, and coffee flavors. A great gift!

Not much on the nose. Sel says…arm bitter chocolate with strong tannins. Cindy says…..she gets oaky with strong tannins. Caroline says…..ripe strawberry in the mouth with really light tannins….not a velvety finish.

I like Sauv Blancs and this is not my favorite nor the worst I have ever had. Watery with a tart lemon start….no cats pee that I like (yes I said that!). Mineral and a little bit of a milky finish. My wife on the other hand likes the full citrus taste….she thinks is starts really big.

Food I tasted it with: Bison steak, potatoes
Review notes:
Jammy on the nose….almost like a raspberry preserve. Thicker viscosity and a solid wine. Nice strong black pepper finish. Pretty impactful and heavy. Not bad for a table wine.

Food I tasted it with: Eggplant Lasagna and salad
Review notes:
I have to admit my wife helps me on these. She says it has a milk chocolate and juicy on the mouth start and a black pepper aftertaste with sweet berry notes. I think it is a good full red that makes a great table wine.

A bit disappointed with this wine. Very tart, lots of tannins....dries your mouth out. Not much of a fruit flavor or balanced finish. I am kind of hoping it opens up after a bit.....

This is a great wine to pare with red meat. Comes with an opinion and stands on its own. Dark cherry and licorice with a lasting finish of ripe strawberry.

Interesting blend: 50% Grenache, 30% Syrah, 20% Mourverde. We all said hum....in a good way. Pretty simple with almost bitter black cherry, over ripe strawberry with sour on the side of tongue. Lasting aftertaste....stays with you.
