Tasting Notes

Mendoza- Argentina
$9.95
This wine tastes ok, but it smells like fruity rubbing alcohol, so don't smell it! It's definitely young, but since we don't have a wine cellar yet, I'm drinking it now. It has only slight tannins, so I am not sure how well it will age. This Malbec starts with nice flavors of cherry and spice, but the finish is sour. I think I'm going to make it into sangria!

For the price, this Shiraz is a fairly smooth, nice wine. If you are looking for a jammy Shiraz, this one is not for you. However if you are looking for a flavorful, slightly sweet, pleasantly tangy wine, then give it a try. This wine is a fairly easy wine to drink; its low in tanins and doesn't have much of an aftertaste. Its like a chick flick--its pleasant while you are drinking it, its simple, yet enjoyable, but you don't really remember it once you finish the final sip.

King Estate Winery, Eugene Oregon
$15
I was pleasantly surprised by this wine. This Riesling doesn't have much of a nose, but it makes up for it in flavor. I tended to taste it in the front of my mouth. It is slightly acidic, but not harsh, and rather dry for a Riesling. I hate it when I feel as though I am drinking potpourri, but I don't taste strong fruity flavors in this wine. This is an easy drinking, great summer wine.
