This wine was purchased to kick off the weekend with burgers on a charcoal Weber grill. The burgers were made with garlic, onion, smoked gouda, and worcestershire sauce. It was a relaxed evening of conversation, dinner, homemade brownies and ice cream for dessert while the kids ran wild. A perfect way to celebrate the 80 degree weather in Phoenix. This wine is a great food wine that is bold enough to stand up to strong flavors yet it is also easily enjoyed on it’s own. I would be interested in having this again with some hard cheeses such as Parmesan and Romano. |

- Rich and deep aromas of cedar, and a hint of vanilla at first.
- Earthy flavors of moss followed by fruity plum at the finish.
- Touch of red apple on the tip of the tongue.
- Really opens up the flavors after decanting but is still slightly tannic.
- Bold, strong and aggressive yet contains a soft side that fits into every situation. This wine is comfortable at a hockey game as well as a night spend listening to the opera. Versatile and hip it is a wine for just about any occasion.

This is a wine that we’ve reviewed previously in the 2008 vintage, but we were disappointed with the 2009 compared to the previous year. |

- Aromas of over ripe raspberry and a slight hint of black pepper
- Very tannic out of the bottle
- Long finish with flavors of dark cherry
- A bit plain at first and the finish is where all the flavor is at
- Hints of rosemary
- Kind of like going to a Black Angus or a Red Lobster…a recognizable name that you are satisfied with but not overwhelmed. Buy it if it is on sale obut do not go out of your way to pick it up at full price.

This is a limited time availability wine available from Trader Joes. We’re not certain if it will return again this year or if it is gone for good. Very hard to pass up at $1.99 a bottle and we were not disappointed when we opened up the first one at home. This flavor profile and texture of this wine can be found in others for $8 – $10. If you can still find this at your TJ’s pick it up!!! |

- Smells of strawberries, pepper and sawdust
- Soft mouth feel and is very smooth after decanting
- Tastes of cedar and nectarine with a medium finish
- Changes and evolves as you drink it. This is a wine that keeps you interested all the time… You know its crazy buy you enjoy your time with it… it’s fun because you don’t know what is coming next… but it all makes sense when you realize it is a very schizophrenic wine.
