Tasting- Prime Brume

Name: Prime Brume
Variety: Soave
Year: 2015
Region: Soave
Country: Italy
Price: $6.95

My Review: This light- colored, white wine had a fruity, good smell. The taste was fairly dry and fruity as well. I tasted hints of pear and apple specifically.

Shop Review: "Brilliant emerald straw color. Aromas and flavors of brazil nuts, creme faiche, and kiwi and starfruit with a silky, lively, dry-yet-fuity light-to-medium body and an effortless, engaging, medium-length watermelon, yellow apple, and clementine finish. A delicious artfully balanced soave with a great range of fruit flavors.

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!

Tasting- Barao de Figueira Tino Reserva

Name: Barao de Figueira Variety: Tino Reserva Year: 2013 Region: Beira Country: Portugal Price: $7.95 My Review: The wine had a slightly sour smell, with a dry taste and hints of strawberry. On the palate, tannins were present. Winery Review: "From vineyards at 2000 feet elevation, this is a rich and spicy wine that has a pure streak of fruit freshness and a firmly tannic core. It is perfumed from Touriga Nacional in the blend, with red berry and black plum flavors coming through strongly along, balanced by acidity. It will be better from 2017." *This wine was tasted with no food.
