Estancia - Cabernet Sauvignon 2006



Type: Cabernet Sauvignon
Year: 2006
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.

Peter Lehmann of the Barossa 2005 Cabernet



Type: Cabernet Sauvignon
Year: 2005
Price: 14.99
Rating: 5 - One of my favorites
Where Bought: Otto's Brown Deer
Comments: This was a nice surprise. Perhaps I have been buying mediocre wines lately, so I was expecting a similar experience. However, this was not the case. This Australian wine has a great aroma (sounds snobish, I realize this, but it really does), and a nice smooth taste. It was so good, in fact, that as you can see by my rating, it has immediately become one of my favorites.

Vina Salceda Rosso 2004


Type: Rosso
Year: 2004
Price: 12.99
Rating: 3 - Will try it again
Where Bought: Otto's Brown Deer, WI
Comments: I don't remember if I liked it or not, so, I'll just list it as "I'll try it again" for now. After the next time, I can provide a better review of this particular wine. I must say that I like Rosso's better than I originally thought I would like them. I guess its because they are tastier than I expected.

Coppola Shiraz 2006



Type: Shiraz
Year: 2006
Price: 7.99
Rating: 4 - Would buy it again
Where Bought: Otto's, Brown Deer
Comments: As per Coppola's wines, it has a nice flavor. Surprisingly, since I guess I wouldn't have thought that a film maker would also produce such a nice drinkable wine. Would definitely buy again. To view other wines that I have tried see Coppola's Rosso, or one of my favorites of his, Coppola's Diamond Collection.

Comment: Surprisingly nice wine. The hint of Mocha, as it states on the bottle, comes through with just the right added flavor. I would buy again.
