Broken Earth Winery Cabernet Sauvignon 2012

2012 Broken Earth Winery Cabernet Sauvignon, USA, California, Central Coast, Paso Robles - CellarTracker

This Paso Robles Cab is a mature opaque garnet hue with pure aromas of cherry berry danish pastry above the rim with hints of vanilla, rose petals, spicy menthol, cigar ash.

Palate--This is a pure, cherry berry supple, and robust cabernet that is absolutely, shockingly delicious! This is Paso Robles? I am blown away.

The Wine Enthusiast gave this Cab an 86 points out of 100. I am not sure when they tasted it but this is woefully underscored. Easily 90 pts. in my book though I don't use a numerical rating. Not sure how much the reference price is on this not do I remember what I paid for it but I believe it was around $20.

It is definitely at its peak but will drink for another 18 months but this is the TIME to enjoy this treat. I will be pairing it with grilled rib eye and I will be in heaven so raise a glass!

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!

Pure Bred (Old Vine) Zinfandel Lodi 2017

Very light hue with a unique aroma (slight) at the side rim of dill pickle juice which is intriguing. Zin aromas of wild berries, not over powering but pleasant, with a touch of rustic zinfulness. (OK that was cheesy!) Palate--There's a watery first impression but is quickly engulfed in big Zin fruitiness which is quickly fleeting leaving a pleasant lingering gentle berry goodness with a slightly "green" end. OK, I am the Zin maestro having had more zins in my life than possibly all other varietals combined? Well, if not, I am getting there. Zin is my grape. And here is the get a grip factor; this sells for $6.50 from Trader Joes, nuff said. Face it, I can't drink Turley, or Rosenblum single vineyard zins everyday (or even every week) so if you're having the gang over and want a light hearted red for those who insist they don't like red wine, give them I bit of this and see what happens. At this price, I'll raise a glass. Thanks MB :)

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!
