We’re still objective. Robert Parker doesn’t buy his wines either
This dry and somewhat jammy Rosé just screams for a warm Saturday afternoon patio party. Very fruit forward with balanced acidity. A pleasantly round mouth-feel of ripe strawberry, raspberry, red fruit and a touch of plum. Paired very well with grilled salmon and grilled salad.
A really delicious creamy, yet crisp Chardonnay. Deep Sea is a full-bodied and complex wine with balanced flavors of tropical fruit married with red apple and toasty oak, fig and subtle spice. This wine has deservedly won it’s fair share of respected awards. Get it while you can.
Looking for a great value in Cabernet? Folie à Deux delivers again. An easy drinking and food friendly Cabernet, it needs only a little time to open up making it a good restaurant choice. Nice structure with soft tannins and full fruit flavors of plum, blackberry, black cherry and a hint of toffee and cocoa.
A wonderful Super Tuscan Blend by Ramazzotti of 60% Sangiovese, 16% Cabernet, 12% Merlot with a touch of Syrah and Cabernet Franc. Delicious, rich and complex with flavors of black cherry and blackberry with well structured and integrated tannins.
Alaways in seach of great US Temprnillo, I really wanted to like this wine but I was roundly disappointed. The wine seemed disjointed with bitter and biting tannins.
