2/26 Wine Tasting

 Mars & Venus 
Sauvignon Blanc 2013
La Mancha, Spain
Regular Price $10
Sale $5.95

My Review: Light, golden color with a citrus scent.  Thought this wine was a bit hot and hard to drink but I could taste a bit of apple and some sort of berry or plum.  This wine was not paired with food 

Takutai
Pinot Gris 2009
Nelson, New Zealand
Regular Price $21
Sale $6.95

My Review: More of a rich golden color with aromas of spices and pear.  Definitely a full bodied wine which I thought to be a bit bitter and left a this after taste in my mouth that wasn't very enjoyable.  Didn't like this wine very much.  This wine was not paired with food.

Yellowtail Reserve 
Merlot 2010
South Eastern, Australia
Regular Price $12
Sale $6.95

My Review: Rich maroon, dark brown hugh with aromas of spice, cherries and wood.  As soon as I smelled this wine I could tell it was going to be heavy and rich.  Flavors were somewhat earthy but fruity at the same time.  Didn't like this wine as much as I thought I would.  This wine was not paired with food.

Crane Lake 
Petite Sirah 2013
California, USA
Price $5.95

My Review: Maroon, red color with a touch of pink.  Smelled of a touch of cream and butter mixed with blackberries.  Tasted different berries, a little chocolate and had the after taste of tannins left in my mouth.  This contributed to why I didn't think this wine went down smooth.  This wine was not paired with food. 

Crane Lake
Riesling 2013
California, USA
Price $5.95

My Review: Light pink, rose color.  Aromas of butter and citrus came up.  Main component of this wine had to be honey or nectarine because it was very sweet.  Also, wasn't a huge fan of this wine because of how sweet I thought it was.  Maybe if it were a bit more acidic I would have liked it more but the tasting reminded me of medicine.  This wine was not paired with food.
