19 Crimes "The Uprising" 2018

19 Crimes The Uprising Red Wine | World Market

Garnet hue with purple shadows and aromas of sweet and savory spice, very nice bouquet of subtle grapefruit, ripe sweet cherries, dark berry jam and more tantalizing spice.

Palate--First impression is a fruit bomb with a very minerally foundation, nice texture with loads of more fruit including red grapefruit. Finishes with a lasting fruit burst at the end which lingers.

Another $9 Aussie wine aged 30 days in rum barrels which candidly I don't think does anything for it. I'm not sure 230 days enough time to really accomplish anything. I would guess this may be a blend of Shiraz and/or petite Sirah and perhaps some Cabernet but who knows. (I just looked it up and it is Shiraz, Cabernet and Grenache hence the "cherries" I picked up.)

At $9, it drinks easily and tastes pretty good so raise a glass!

We've moved!

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!

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!

M. Chevallier Brut (Cava)

Straw hue with aromas of gentle vanilla, lime, more vanilla, and citrus. Palate-- Fresh, clean, teensy pin prick bubbles, creamy texture, fresh clean finish that lingers a bit. If you want a great summer bubbly with no animals on the label, tastes like real wine than a manufactured wine beverage, this is a great summer choice. It's a Trader Joe's regular and runs $10. Raise a glass, sit on your deck or pool side and enjoy!
