2008 heron hill semi dry riesling

Kind of fruity and not too bad. I might have liked a snappier finish, but maybe thats not possible with the semi dry variety.

2010 cameron hughes lot 259 riesling/chenin blanc

Nice wine with good flavors throughout. Have already ordered the next vintage.

Great $9 wine with lots of red fruit up front and a decent finish. Would rebuy.

2008 razors edge shiraz

Really nice peppery finish on this. Pretty normal nose. For a $9 wine, a rebuy for sure!

2009 lamadrid cabernet sauvignon

A bit harsh on the open, that really never smoothed out. I guess a bit of black fruit on the nose, but a bit of a funky finish that is either on the dry side, or tannins are still present. Not a rebuy for me, even at the $9 price point.
