This wine is a red table wine blend form California. We picked it up for a Fresh & Easy Twitter Tasting event. |
| $5 from Fresh & Easy |
 |
- Aromas of earth underneath scents of prune
- Undercurrent of vanilla
- Not overly fruity in the aromas
- Scent and taste does not change with decanting…even after 45 minutes
- Over-ripe plums in the taste
- A bit harsh on the finish
- fairly one dimensional but not bad tasting
- A blend that is a combination from all over California. Flavors and aromas do not change over time much like a comfortable pair of jeans… You may not want to wear them out in public but they are fine for laying around the house.

This wine is a Garnacha from spain that is sold by Fresh & Easy. We reviewed an earlier 2006 vintage years ago that we didn’t love, but this one was much more favorable. |
| $6 from Fresh & Easy |
 |
- Smells of sweet fruit and ripe berries
- Taste is nice and dry with a light to medium body
- Good mouth feel with the tannins mellowed out after a good decant
- Not too sweet with strawberry and cherry flavors.
- This wine is like going to a modest cozy neighborhood Spanish restaurant and getting an honest meal that hits the spot just right.
