It's all about the wine. We want to record the memories of our wine and share what's inside the bottles.
The pictures are blurry (at best) but everything is sent in from our phones, so deal with it.
This "Captain's Reserve" is got a deep yellow hue and a mellow character. It seems to have a little more oak than most Sav Blancs, but then again that could be the age. You can check them out at www.rubiconestate.com
Beautiful straw color. Apple, vanilla, peach, full bodied, new world (N Zed), buttery with a nice acidic zing that brings it all in balance. Should go well with our fish pie.
From Trader Joe's, this was in their red blends section for about $6.
I'm satisfied. 34% Syrah, but whats the rest? Bordeaux varietals? Zin?
Gamay? Concord?
Who knows? Who cares?
For $6, this could be my house red if it plays it's cards right. It is
light and fun and has a good balance of fruit and spice.
Throw your expectations in the gutter and be pleasantly surprised.
Can you say magnum baby? We finally cracked this for the two year
old's birthday party. It was crisp and bubbly and balanced and complex
all at the same time. J makes a fine sparkler.
