Punto Final Cabernet Sauvignon 2015

Image result for Punto Final Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
*Dark plum hue with room wafting aromas of luscious ripe berries with a distinct, rustic, herbal hint at the rim with nice minty nuances deeper in the glass.

Palate--Such a different expression of the grape, with tasty dark berries and that mint beam in the mid palate, a fleeting finis h it seems but then jumps back in with a surprise finish.

The grapes come from Mendoz Argentina known more profoundly for their signature grape Malbec of which this reminds me and yet not.  *All of the above is right on opening so I will repost after it has time to breath.  Right now I really like this I tend to dislike "cheap cabs."  But winemaker Pablo Sanchez has something nice going on here.

I do't remember what I paid for this but I believe it was around $10 and I grab more if I have the chance.  I'm raising a glass and so should you!

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!

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!

Beaulieu Vineyards Chardonnay (Carneros) 2016

Gentle golden hue with aromas of lovely cinnamon, vanilla, light tropical fruit salad, a hint of bananas and sweet baking spices. Palate--Lovely mouth filling tropical fruit flavors, a luscious, mouth watering, razor sharp acidity, tropical fruit compote., mouth watering structure and a finish that doesn't want to quit with a warm and sunshine flavors keeping you warm in colder climes.  BV is one of my favorite California vintners having visited them twice with the best tasting room staff and always solidly vinified wines. This is a lovely Chard from one of my favorite Napa/Sonoma regions and at 5 years of age is going great and should be fine for another 5. The price point on this Chard is $30 and if I paid that I would not have been unhappy with what I got. But I paid $13 for it in this bizarre season of noon-science and pseudo medical BS. Raise a glass to the poor millions who are suffering needlessly in this dark, politically motivated scamdemic. Let wine help you cope....
