Flux 2013

Image result for flux 2013 red wine
Ever so slightly brick red at the rim, and above the glass are sweet red berry with aromas of menthol, light cherry with more savory darker berry in the glass.

Palate--full bodied, savory dark fruit of heft with chewy tannins.  Finish lingers a bit.

This is a sourced red blend of the classic Rhone grapes,  Grenache, Syrah, and Mourvedre which I suspect may have been made from excess of grapes of note but due labeling laws the vintner can't state so on the label.  I could be wrong.

It was marked down from $30 to $13 which was my lucky day.  It's a tasty, well made wine and if you find it for under $20, I'd grab it and give it a shot! Raise a glass!

Peachy Canyon Zinfandel 2017

  Nice depth of hue at a dark cranberry jelly with aromas of stewed cherries, and tart pie cherries. Palate--Nice first impression with dry tannins, impressive Zin dark berry flavors full of spice and lingering berry flavors. Peachy Canyon has always made a decent inexpensive Zin and this is at the $8 price point at Trader Joes. It is satisfying, and though it is at cellar temperature at the moment it will even be bigger and open to more expressive Zinfandel fruit.  This Lodi Zin is another example of Lodi really coming into its own for solid Zins which are value priced. I still like Sonoma Zins as my fave but honestly it won't be long before long that Lodi may bust their bubble.  Raise a glass!

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!
