Name: Tournon Victoria Mathilda
Producer: Michael Chapoutier
Variety: Viognier, Marsanne
Region: Victoria
Country: Australia
Vintage: 2014
Price: $20
Wine Review: "Orange blossom and mango aromas leap out of the
glass, with a fleshy core and a juicy finish, accented by hints of citrus zest.
Viognier and Marsanne."
My Review: "Fruity aromas permeate from this slightly sweet wine with the taste of ripe pineapples and a slight citrus acidity."
Producer: Casa Bella
Variety: Pinot Grigio
Region: Provincia Di Pavia
Country: Italy
Vintage: 2017
Price: $10
Wine Review: "Produced by macerating
Pinot Grigio grape must with its skins. The skins’ pink hue give the wines its
copper color. Flavors of green pear, pomegranate, and honeysuckle. It is somewhat of a
big burst of opulent tropical flowers, orchid-like scented, with hints of
flower, pungent oily floral notes."
My Review: An interesting penny-like color that tasted of peach, pear, and tropical fruits. Dry, tropical flowers wafted from this particular wine. Some slight acidity.
Producer: Bodegas Aragonesas
Variety: Old Vines Garnacha
Region: Campo de Borja
Country: Spain
Vintage: 2017
Price: $9.95
Wine Review: "This wine's bright raspberry and plum aromas are typical of Garnacha.
Its fresh, racy palate isn't heavily structured, offering a lovely mix of plum,
oak and chocolate flavors."
My Review: An almost vegetative like smell of oak was observed. There were hints of blueberries, cherries, and an almost caramel like taste. Left an undesirable aftertaste, possibly from the tannins present.
Producer: Bricco dei Tati
Variety: Piemonte Barbera
Region: Piedmont
Country: Italy
Vintage: 2014
Price: $8.95
Wine Review: "This
is a young, fresh, lively Barbera with a persistent and attractive bouquet of
black cherries and a bit of spice on the palate. It has few tannins which is
typical of the Barbera varietal, and a medium finish. Delightfully
approachable, pairs great with cheese, barbecue and game."
My Review: A subtle hint of spice with a mixture of blackberries and cherries were at the forefront of this smooth tasting wine. There was a slight increase in acidity after going down the palette. Smelled sweet, taking on the fruity flavors present.
Name: Douglas Hill Sweet Red Table Wine
Producer: Douglas Hill
Variety: Shiraz, Barbera, Grenache
Region: California
Country: United States
Price: $7.95
Wine Review: "A blend of Shiraz, Barbera, and Grenache with flavors of fresh berries
and stone fruits, this sweet-style, easy-drinking wine is delicious when served
with appetizers, seafood, shellfish, pork, poultry, and desserts."
My Review: An extremely smooth, sweet tasting wine with mixtures of strawberries and other sweet fruits. Smelled slightly like cinnamon. Will definitely try with the food mentioned in the wine review.
