Grand Mascota Malbec 2015

This is your perfect steak wine pairing. Smooth with dark fruits on the nose and red fruits evoking plum on the mouthfeel. Firm tannins make the wine stay in your mouthfeel for quite awhile and a dry finish. This is your dry summer bbq wine.

Drama Red Blend

This is a dry wine with a high complexity. Accents of smoke and what I can only guess at as boysenberry on the nose, cherry first blueberry second cola last on the palate, and soft but dry tannin structure.

Donnachiara Beneventano Falanghina

Apricot and pear appear on the nose and carry through to the pallate in a nicely floral smooth and citrus centered white. Great dry wine, but not for Pinot Grigio drinkers. Meant more for unoaked chardonnay lovers.

Whispering Angel

Strawberry,  peach, and flowers on the nose.  Strawberry mouthfeel with orange citrus on backend. Light and dry but with long lasting appeal. 

Pisano Tannant RPF

Nice, dry, and tannin filled with good fruit.

In the mouthfeel it starts with cranberry at the beginning with blackberry at the backend of the tongue feel. Theres a bit of smoky nose as well.

Justin cab

Dry but smooth this cabernet opens with toasty oak aromas with a bit of red fruit. Dry and smooth throughout with a subtle strawberry finish.

Offley 20 year port

This is quite a treat honestly. Fruitcake and raisins in the nose. Smoothness in the mouthfeel without the harsh alcohol. Focuses on the tawny vanilla, caramel, raisiness. Honestly it was completely utterly amazing, omg

Second taste maintains the fruitcake and raisins in the nose but offers much richer plum in the first taste of the mouthfeel. Smooth and sweet finish.

Sobon Estate Reserve Zinfandel

Notes of leather and dark fruit on the nose with bountiful forward BlackBerry in front and earthy characteristics on end. 

Powerful and long lasting,  this Zinfandel also has a nice elegant characteristic of being well balanced.

In third taste mint appears on the backend.

Overall,  it comes across as a more rustic wine perfect for the harvest.  

La Mascota Malbec

Blackberry, smooth but dry tanins.

Respaldy Muscat St. Jean

Beverage Dynamics

Beverage Dynamics-Minervois, Languedoc, France - "A rich, mouth-filling--- yet medium-bodied---

 Muscat with notes of lychee, apricot and apple blossom. 

Always the bold variety, this Muscat is intensely packed with dried fruit and fresh honey notes, and is a perfect dessert pairing or on its own."

My own experience:

Honey is first on the palate with pear on the backend on first taste. Notes of peach hit my pallate on the second taste with a nice subtle floridity on the nose. As it warms up you get a greater sense of floridity on the nose and apple flavors start to pop out nicely.
