Tasting-"Baci Dolci"

Baci Dolci
Mosto Di Uve Parzialmente Fermentato Non Vintage
50% Marzemino, 50% Merlot Regular Price $15 Sale
$9.95
Colli Euganei, Italy



Vintage Cellar Review:A blend of 50% Marzemino 50% Merlot.  A delicate, slightly frizzante wine with an intense, ruby red color. Fresh strawberry & black cherry aromas with hints of roses. Cherry pie flavors,
medium-full bodied with refreshing sparkle to balance the semi- sweet finish.

My Review: The Baci Dolci was a maroon color with the scent of raisins and cherry jam. The wine tasted like a mixed berry pie. 

Tasting-" Oasis del Cuyo Malbec"

Oasis del Cuyo
Malbec
Regular Price $12 Sale
$6.95
Mendoza , Argentina

Vintage Cellar Review: Deep ruby color. Appealing red fruit nose with hints of tobacco. Medium bodied with a smooth and lush mouth-feel. Finishes dry with lasting flavors. Excellent choice for a young and fruity everyday wine. Enjoy as an aperitif or with meats and pasta dishes.

My Review: The Malbec was a lovely medium red with the scent of pomegranate, oak, acetone, and smoke. These smells translated taste as well as very acidic with a strong finish. 

Tasting-"Terranoble Cabernet Sauvignon"

$8.95
Central Valley, Chile


Vintage Cellar Review: This Cabernet Sauvignon offers an intense and deep color and lovely aromas of red fruit, pepper and tobacco. It has smooth tannins, very freshness and rich fruit, which gives the wine a good balance. Pair with barbecued beef ribs, grilled sea bass, or spaghetti alla Bolognese.

My Review: The Cabernet Sauvignon was a deep red with the scent of tobacco, oak, leather, and cherry. The scents translated to taste, the wine was smooth, acidic, and dry with a long finish..  

Tasting-" Terranoble Chardonnay"

Terranoble
Chardonnay
2014
$8.95
Central Valley, Chile


Vintage Cellar Review: This Chardonnay offers a wine with an attractive color and lovely aromas, such as ripe pear and pineapple, mixed with butter and vanilla notes. It is a fresh style of white wine, with medium persistence in mouth. Ideal as an aperitif.

My Review: The Terranoble was a soft golden yellow that smelled like chicken mixed with citrus, melon, and oak. The taste was very tannic, the acidity overwhelmed my pallet, as well as strongly oaked.
