2007 simi alexander valley cab sauv
Seems like a bit of dark fruit on the nose, lightly oaked on the mid-pallette and some mild tannins on the finish. $18 for this wine, which is on the higher side of what I normally spend, but a very good wine, none the less. I would rebuy.

2008 le drunk rooster gren/syr blend
First pour was really weak...but it got better with a little air....a little oakiness on the nose..red fruit..etc..all in all, im gonna pass on getting another one though..
2008 oxford landing estates GSM
Ok, for a $7 wine, and a red blend, there is nothing wrong with it. not the best wine you have ever had, but very decent. Not much of a finish, but for 7 bucks, do you really expect one? I would buy this again...

Anthony road devonian red table wine.
This is a blended wine, that includes the lemberger grape. I am trying to figure out if my nose is overly sensative to this grape, or if I'm picking up the light oak in this wine. Generaly, this is a bit on the light side. Hey, this is a $9 wine, maybe I'm expecting too much from this very good wine maker. (at this price point) Worth a try I think....
2005 hahn estates central coast meritage (375ml)
Ok, I bought this wine by mistake, not realizing it was 375 ml, not the normal 750. So, this ends up being what I would pay for a glass of wine at a restaraunt, around 6 bucks for a glass. I have to say, I am not dissapointed by this. It does not say what the components are on the label, but it seems like a dark fruit on the nose, with a nice mid-pallete and a pretty good finish. I'm pretty happy.

2009 camille cayran CDR
This was a surprise wine as I had ordered a syrah and they were out, so they substituted this one. a bit strange to me, at least. How ever, this was not a bad wine at the price point.($8) Nice fruit on the front end, decent mid pallete but a bit thin on the end, though there may have been some evidence of tannins. Rebuy.. not sure.

2008 mitolo jester cabernet sauvignon
Not a bad wine...for around 16 bucks not sure if I would buy again...some nice tannins to go along with enough of a finish to make it noticable. There is definately a predominant flavor there I just cant identify it.Another pop and pour, without food, just some cheese...If you havent had one before, I would say give it a try if you can find it, won't be the worst bottle you've ever had..
