Carlos Serres Rioja 2015

Carlos Serres Rioja Crianza 2015 | Wine Info
Pigmented dark garnet with aromas of savory spiced cherry with red grapefruit

Palate--Nice mouth filling flavors with a bright beam of cherry berry and a floral touch of sweet spring lilies.

I opened this two days ago and just couldn't get to reviewing it so this is not as accurate as it would have been.  I was impressed when I opened this 5 year old Tempranillo and wanted to get to the review asap but well, I was cooking and couldn't get to it. Right now the wine is out of the fridge so it is too cold to really appreciate but even at that, it is a really delicious quaff.
I don't remember what I paid for this but I tend to buy only bargain wines so I am sure it was $10 or less.  This is a great buy and I will be picking up more if it available 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!

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!
