Carlos Serres Rioja 2015

Carlos Serres Rioja Crianza 2015 | Wine Info

Pigmented dark garnet with aromas of savory spiced cherry with red grapefruit

Palate--Nice mouth filling flavors with a bright beam of cherry berry and a floral touch of sweet spring lilies.

I opened this two days ago and just couldn't get to reviewing it so this is not as accurate as it would have been. I was impressed when I opened this 5 year old Tempranillo and wanted to get to the review asap but well, I was cooking and couldn't get to it. Right now the wine is out of the fridge so it is too cold to really appreciate but even at that, it is a really delicious quaff.
I don't remember what I paid for this but I tend to buy only bargain wines so I am sure it was $10 or less. This is a great buy and I will be picking up more if it available 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!
