2009 black box cab sauvignon

A bit alcoholy on the nose, some red fruit on the nose.kinda weak mid palette and finish...nothing special for sure, but for the price.. I'll treat it as a come home from work and have a glass of wine kind of wine...might take it camping next time. not sure if I would re-buy....

2009 plungerhead zinfandel

So, after my initial taste, I was kinda lost and grabbed the bottle to see what thier tasting notes were....I got the red fruit thing, and maybe a bit of cocoa, but this wine is not as complex as the label would lead you to believe...(no surprise I guess, :)..)Not the peppery finish I really enjoy with some zins, but for around the $12 I would rebuy for sure.

2007 sebastiani cab sauv.

What I would call a traditional cab nose. Red fruit...light tannins and a decent finish. For around 12 bucks....I would buy again...

2008 domaine le couroulu vin de pays

Interesting wine. For $6 this tastes like a very good cab franc with a fairly decent (long) finish. A bit alcoholly at times, but overall a very decent wine.I have actually had different vintages of this wine, so I guess that says something in itself...

2009 Strub soil to soul riesling kabinett

Very nice wine. Lime overtones and a nice smooth finish. I haven't had a lot of experience with German Rieslings, but this one was pretty good. For about 12 bucks, definitely a re buy.

2008 6th sense syrah

Very peppery, went well with the garlicky crackers I was having.I think about $13, I would rebuy.

2009 mapmaker sauvignon blanc

Can you say somebody was cutting grass in my mouth? I know sauv. blanc can be generally described as this, but this was really predominate. Not overpowering though. I would buy this again.
