Lagar De Banzana Cabernet Sauvignon 2015


Image result for Lagar De Bezana Cabernet Sauvignon 2015
Dark cranberry hue with aromas that are greeeeen, and the faint aroma of "cork taint." But what's worse, is it may not be cork taint but the wine as it was made. Beneath the green unripeness is a remnant of dark berries and after a few minutes a nice wafting of eucalyptus.

Palate--*Not quite ripe dark berry flavors, savory spice, a somewhat watery texture that is less than tantalizing, and a finish that may be the best part of this wine.

I have had a good bunch of Chilean Cabernet's and am a big fan.  This is my first one from tis producer from the Alto Cachapoal region of Chile.

*I am going to let this breathe and see if it helps any.  I paid $10 for this marked down from $13.

*It did improve some but it's still a pass...

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!
