Francis Ford Coppola Malbec - 2006 Diamond collection



Type: Malbec - Diamond collection - Celestial Blue Label
Year: 2006
Price: 15.99
Rating: 2 - Probably won't buy again
Where Bought: Otto's Brown Deer
Comments: I guess me and Malbec's in general don't get along. It was an ok wine, but I just didn't care much for it. Especially at this cost, I have other choices that I enjoy and some are even less expensive. Its definitely nothing against the Coppola collection, since I like many of their wines. Maybe its the Malbec grape that I don't have a palette for.....

ClosDu Bois Merlot - 2005



Type: Merlot
Year: 2005
Price: 12.99
Rating: 4 - Would definitely buy again
Where Bought: Scotti's Silver Spring
Comments: I would have to say that Clos Du Bois is my favorite when it comes to Merlot's. They never seem to let me down. The only reason for the 4 rating is that I prefer Cabernets. But, for Merlot's, Clos Du Bois is the winner, hands down.

Type: Cabernet Sauvignon

Price: 12.99
Rating: 4 - Would definitely buy again
Where Bought: Scotti's Silver Spring
Comments: One of my favorites, this wine is simply smooth and nice. Very consistent and enjoyable. I would definitely buy it again. Why isn't it the highest of scores for me ? I really don't know. Maybe I'll upgrade it to one of my favorite wines at some point. But for right now, I would definitely buy it again.
