Angry Bunch Zinfandel (Lodi) 2016

Angry Bunch Zinfandel 2016 | Wine Info

Black cherry hue with aromas of black pepper, savory spices, chocolate on the edge, burnt wood.

Palate--Loaded with easy drinking fruit, there is a lot to like in this $6 Zin I grabbed at an out of state liquor store. Front palate says, drink more now, with fruit forward, and loads of savory spices, sweet tannins, and a finish of *sweet tasty dark fruit.

Lodi doesn't tend to put out complex Zins but of late they sure have been putting out some tasty Zins worth your attention. I paid $6 for this wine ($18 reference price) on a NH State Store "Power buy" and it is quite pleasant especially at the price. If you grill anything on a charcoal grill this will pair greatly with it no matter what it is!

If they happen to have more lying around the next time I get down there I will have to grab more. So, raise a glass! 

*In this case "sweet" does not mean SWEET as in sugary but as in super fruity...

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!
