Vindicated Zinfandel (Dry Creek Valley) 2016


Nice purple hue with aromas of pungent tart pie berries,  (sill cold)

Palate--Baked berry pie, nice stricture, rich body with lightly bittered mid palate, more fruit in the finish that lingers.

I bought this $24 Zin marked down to $12 at my fave out of state liquor store. It's a big wine, lot's of flavor, well made.  Should have bought more...  The story of my life.  (I once owned Apple at $16 and sold it........ Yup.  LOL 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!
