Cameron Hughes strikes again with this delicious Napa Valley Merlot. Full bodied and with wonderful depth, this rich wine offers hearty layers of plum, earth, vanilla extract with a pleasing wisp of clove on the palate. One of the best Merlots I have had from Cameron Hughes and an absolute steal for $12.99. Keep Drinking and Keep Believing.
Had this red blend table wine last night with homemade Chicken Cacciatore and it was flat across the board.
Happy Wine Wednesday to all and delving into the some of the 90 + Cellars releases since being back in New England, and last night tasted the 2010 McLaren Vale Shiraz. With a deep classic Australian Shiraz plum and dark cherry hue, this wine is medium bodied with balanced flavors of red cherry, rich dark fruit with a hint of fig. Quaffable on its own, or paired with grilled burgers or a thick, juicy sirloin, this wine is good value for $10.99 even though it is little heavy on the oak. Just be sure to let it get some air for 30-45 minutes. Keep Drinking and Keep Believing.
Mild with a reek of mildew and formaldehyde while offering flat, faint, dark fruit. Need I say anymore.
Deep into the abyss, dark, glorious hue while offering an inviting bouquet of dill, toasted oak and cigar box. Elegantly refined, this medium bodied Napa Valley Cabernet lends blissful flavors of powdered dark fruit, cocoa, lime zest, vanilla and cassis on the palate. An absolute gem and quite honored to have had the opportunity to experience this pristine wine. Keep Drinking and Keep Believing.
Massive, thick, Left Bank Bordeaux with a captivating color of ruby red fused with plum purple, lending a enriched bouquet of toasted oak, dark cherry, damp gravel and leaves. This wine is definitely structured to be paired with a hearty main course offering thick dark red fruit, rich soil, unsweetened baking chocolate and nutmeg on the palate. Keep Drinking and Keep Believing.
This magnificent Bordeaux blend consisting of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Merlot entrances the senses with blessed offerings of homemade blackberry pie, dark cherry, all spice and cassis while embraced with rich, silky tannin, tranquil mouthfeel and a finish that lingers like a recent lover’s fragrance, allowing one to to reminise about each touching moment. It is abundantly clear, I loved this wine! Keep Drinking and Keep Believing.
This juicy, medium bodied Grenache from The El Dorado Appelation up high in Sierra Nevada, California has huge umpf at 15% alcohol, offering a spectrum of dark fruit, spice, oak, faint vanilla and black licorice. Fire up a nice sirloin and strap yourself in! Keep Drinking and Keep Believing.
Delightful bouquet of musk, deep rustic earth and tree bark followed by a lovely palate of juicy red rapsberries, bright fresh red cherries and vanilla with balanced, zestful acidity. An Excellent Pinot! Keep Drinking and Keep Believing.
