50% Syrah, 40% Grenache, 10% Mourvedre. It says on the back of the bottle that part of the vineyard in France was plowed by horses, which is pretty cool. Hopefully they clean up that stuff.
Smell: berry, with a flowery smell at the end. Nice and deep.
Taste: round, with a strong body. Very dark berries that go well with meats.
Verdict: 3/5
50% of creamy Loin L'Oell, 30% Mauzac, and 20% Sauvignon Blanc. Mixtures all around here, which really make these wines more flavorful. Think of putting creamer and flavor shots in coffee.
Smell: freshly picked pears and apples. Very small rocks. cider. Gravy. Churches. A duck. All things that float, right?
Taste: a bit like seltzer water, but with fruity taste. Like a crisp apple hard cider.
Verdict: 3.5/5
What a mouthful. If the bottle and label gives any hint, this is a dark one. This Southern Italy red hails from Southern Italy, or as my grandma calls it, "IT-lee."
Smell: dark aroma, like an old cigar box. Leathery, and dark plums
Taste: soft tannins, which go easy on the palate, but lots of dark fruit too. Too dark for me, like dark cherry licorice
Verdict: 2.5/5
The Riesling grape is a white variety from the Rhine region of Germany. Usually relatively oakless, it's used to make dry, relatively
Smell: like a bouquet of flowers...and a fruit stand right next to it.Taste: acidy melon and honey. like a really good sweet tea. Very good
Verdict: 4/5
Sean Minor Pinot Noir Rose Vin Gris 2013
Vin Gris has a bright salmon color, as shown. It comes from the Napa Valley, not from Sean Minor. Trust me, you don't want anything that guys try to put in a bottle.
Smell: watermelon, and a variety of berries. A bit like blueberry pie.
Taste: spicy, crisp acidity. raspberry, and way to much cherry. Doesn't do it for me.
Verdict: 2/5
