Gnarly Head Zinfandel 2017 (Lodi)

Young purple hue with aromas of wild blueberry, rustic spice

Palate--"Sweet" impression at first but these wines are not *sweet. Loads of blackberry and hints of blueberry with solid structure and a decent finish!

It is a common mistake to think certain wines are sweet when they are bone dry meaning there is no residual sugar. It's a phenomena of a super fruity wine to give the impression it is fruity. Gnarly Head is always a value Zin and at $7.50 which is what I paid, it's a definite "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!

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!
