Légende Bordeaux 2016

Image result for legende bordeaux 2016
Cranberry jelly hue with aromas of citrus laced cherry with savory touches and a hint of cedar.

Palate--Puckeringly acidic, with a lemony foundation and hints of cherry.

This is a very strange "Bordeaux" unlike any I have ever had--thankfully...  It is supposed to  be 60% Cabernet Sauvignon and 40% Merlot but you couldn't prove it by me.  It is off putting from the beginning.  I paid $9 for this mark down from $18 supposedly.  It is pretty sorry so pass!

I have reposted a review below of this from the Wine Enthusiast whom I respect greatly.  But they were drinking a different wine than I was...
"One of a range of wines produced by the Château Lafite-Rothschild winemaking team, this bottling is generous, ripe and juicy. Its black-currant fruits, soft tannins and open texture mean it is almost ready to enjoy. Drink from 2019."

After a few year hiatus from my "real" wine blog, you can now find my reviews at the winecask.blogspot.com  I started this blog many years ago and was ranked the #8 wine blog on the world wide web.  I am a regular guy with a very limited wallet so I drink what you drink with rare exceptions. So scoot on over there, follow me if you want short, no non sense wine info.  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!
