Tasting- Douglas Hill

Name: Douglass Hill
Variety: Sauvignon Blanc
Year: 2014
Region: California
Country: USA
Price: $5.95

My Review: This was probably the most interesting, and my favorite of the wines that I tasted today. I thought this white had a sweet smell initially, and then the taste of vegetables. There were also subtle hints of fruity flavors in this semi-sweet wine.

Shop Review: "This light, crisp Sauvignon Blanc has aromas of grapefruit, bell pepper, and asparagus. on the palate, hints of floral and honey are revealed to yield a well-balanced, refreshing wine.

This wine was tasted with no food.

Tasting: Vinedos Real Rubio Rioja Crianza

Image
Name: Viendos Real Rubio Variety: Tempanillo Graciano Year: 2010 Price $16 Region: Rioja Country: Spain My Review: The smell was rich with hints of fruit jelly. This wine was a darker color and fairly smooth with a slightly bitter taste and hints of pepper, blackberry, and oak. Winery Review: "Lightly baked berry aromas vie for attention with leather, spice and mild earth notes, and the result is disjointed. On the palate, this is tight as a drum initially, but more expansive as it unfolds. Cherry, plum, raspberry, vanilla and wood spice flavors finish pure, clean, and easy. This is a fine yet manageable Rioja that's not trying to hard." *This wine was tasted with no food.

Tasting- Arrow Creek Merlot

Name: Arrow Creek Variety: Merlot Year: 2014 Region: California Country: USA Price: $7.99 My Review:  This smooth merlot was a deep red color. Aromas of berry and vanilla on the nose, with tastes of blackberry as well.  I initially selected this wine based on its label, as I liked the arrows and John Muir quote on the bottom; but, I really enjoyed this wine! Winery Review: "Friendly aromas of Bing cherries lead into rich flavors of dark berries and a long, silky finish. The palate is dense, the tannins smooth and the flavors intense." -Arrow Point website. *This wine was tasted with pizza, and paired very nicely!
