Where Bought: Otto's Brown Deer
Comments: Francis Ford Coppola has consistently put out nice wines. This one is no exception. This Shiraz had a nice flavor and a great dinner red wine. Also, at the price, its amazingly a rich bodied wine. I look forward to trying it again to see if it consistently delivers. I bet it will.

J Lohr Cabernet Sauvignon 2009



Type: Cabernet Sauvignon
Year: 2009
Price: 12.99
12.99 (Marked down to 11.99, Otto's Brown Deer, Aug. 6th 2011)
Rating: 5 - One of my favorites
Where Bought: Otto's Brown Deer
Comments: This wine has always been one of my favorites. Its full bodied, yet not sharp and has a smooth after taste. I like it best straight from the cellar, not too cold. COntinues to be a very nice wine. Generally, I have reservations when they change the year. So far, it remains as one of my favorite wines.
