19 Crimes "The Uprising" 2018

19 Crimes The Uprising Red Wine | World Market

Garnet hue with purple shadows and aromas of sweet and savory spice, very nice bouquet of subtle grapefruit, ripe sweet cherries, dark berry jam and more tantalizing spice.

Palate--First impression is a fruit bomb with a very minerally foundation, nice texture with loads of more fruit including red grapefruit. Finishes with a lasting fruit burst at the end which lingers.

Another $9 Aussie wine aged 30 days in rum barrels which candidly I don't think does anything for it. I'm not sure 230 days enough time to really accomplish anything. I would guess this may be a blend of Shiraz and/or petite Sirah and perhaps some Cabernet but who knows. (I just looked it up and it is Shiraz, Cabernet and Grenache hence the "cherries" I picked up.)

At $9, it drinks easily and tastes pretty good so raise a glass!

Comments

Emma Reichart Gewürztraminer 2020

*Label is for their Riesling not their Gewurztraminer Pale straw hue with loads of sweet aromas consisting of vanilla, citrus, tropical fruit with a lime splash. Palate--mouth watering acid, mouth filling tropical fruit, lime base, with sweet-tart freshness This $10 Gewürztraminer literally "Spicy Traminer" is one of my favorite German grapes and under appreciated much in the way German Riesling is. If you can get past the name, it's a lovely wine that pairs with Asian foods, spicy foods, or all by itself so raise a glass!

Sardon 2017 (Quinto Sardonia)

Vibrant plum purple hue with aromas of a spicy floral bouquet, sweet red hard cherry candies, sweet cream on the edges. Palate--Great first impression of joyful candied red fruit, and pink/orange colored circus peanut marshmallow(?) candy. This blend of primarily Tempranillo, with Malbec, Garnacha, and Cab Sauv. is a bit atypical for Tempranillo with delightful flavors of sweet cherry cream, a nice spicy beam of light red fruit and a finish of more candied flavors. Do NOT mistake my description with all the "sweet" adjectives as if this wine is actually sweet, it isn't. It is extremely fruity, lighter bodied, well made and really quite spectacular. It will do well with my grilled pork chops! At the $18 price point it is a real treat so raise a glass!

Barrel Heist Cabernet Sauvignon 2019

Lighter hued cranberry color with aromas of sweet red berries and dried red fruit with a touch of spice. Palate--Fruit forward, easy to quaff with soft tannins, and a simple pleasant all around red. Just don't confuse this with a "real" cabernet Sauvignon. At $7 (Trader Joe's) let's get real... It's better than two buck chuck!
