05 Cabernet

comments: Great Cab! About $17, and well worth the step up from my lower priced cabs…This has a well rounded and smokey finish. Not alot of oak, but still smokey. Had this with pasta and spicy sauce(gravy)
Enjoy…

2004 Cabernet Sauvignon
where: in-between home
comments: Approx. $15.99, It was a gift. Very hearty, meaty with full overtones. Definitely taste the barrel, and some really plume and smoke after tones. I’d love it with a stone pizza…but no deal this time around. Enjoy a thick wine from Wetzel Family Estate.

Merlot 2007?
where: Dominick’s Resteraunt, NYC, NY
comments: This was a very light and flavorful Merlot, although, I would categorize it as more of a chianti style wine. But it was good.

Merlot – 2003
comments: Well now, this is a fantastic Merlot. Lucky for me I have a couple more Cakebreads…just a hair different though, a 2001 Mertlot…which I can’t wait to have and a 2003 Cabernet….eh hmm. This is such a smooth wine…damn. Great with a Meatball, Mushroom, Pepper and Onion pizza and delightful with a Filet.

2003 merlot-california
comments: Flavorful dry whisps of plum black cherry, a great cheese and olive accent. Will probably go well with pasta dishes.
