Hedgeline Vineyards Oregon Pinot Noir

 Name: Hedgeline Vineyards Oregon Pinot Noir

Variety: Pinot Noir
Region: Oregon
Country: USA
Year: 2001
Price: 12

Winery review: A tribute to a diverse landscape of lush mountainous highlands and arid desert lowlands, the vines of the Pacific Northwest are unique in character and nature. This esteemed Pinot Noir shows a touch of almond on the nose, accented by aromas of Northwest cone berries, embellished by a smooth, velvety texture with a deep mid-palate and rich finish.

Wine Folly: Pg. 150 Pinot Noir: It says that there are tastes of red fruit like cherry and raspberry. I feel like I could taste a bit of raspberry, but not the cherry. It also says mushroom which would be earthy, but I taste more mold. It also says there are spice flavors which I do not taste either. It says it should be decanted for 30 minutes which I did not do, but I should try.

My review: Tasting this wine totally made me understand body. Much lighter feel in the mouth than a lot of other red wines that I have tried. I get a few different flavors here. Maybe some earthy notes like mold and some floral notes too, but not very bold flavors.

Monte Guelfo Chianti Classico

   Name:  Monte Guelfo Chianti Classico Variety:  90% Sangiovese and 10% Colorino Region:  Chianti Country:  Italy Year:  2021 Price:  18.99 Winery review:   The bouquet is broad , with hints of red fruit perfectly integrated with the mineral notes that make the tasting vibrant. The taste is full and intense and is characterized by an excellent balance between sweetness and structure. Its nose is fruity with delicate spicy notes. The tannic and smooth texture is striking on the palate, ending in a savory and lively finish. Wine Folly: Pg. 162 on Sangiovese says that it tastes like cherry, roasted tomato, sweet balsamic, oregano, and espresso. To be honest sweet balsamic is an interesting flavor that I actually think I got. It also says it is one of the few wines that will not get lost when paired with tomato sauce, so I am very curious to try that. My review:  This wine was really good. Although with this, I could see how and why yo...

  Name:  2021 Columbia Valley Red Wine Blend Harry & David Vineyards Variety:  70% Cabernet Sauvignon 30% Pinot Noir Region:  Washington Country:  USA Year:  2021 Price:  15.99 Winery review:   Grown and crafted with expertise, this exceptional wine brings the best of the region to your class. Nurtured every step of the way from the vine to the bottle, bringing this unique varietal to your table for a celebration. Wine Folly: Pg.  Pg. 88 on Cabernet Sauvignon says there are black cherry flavors, black currant, cedar, baking spices, and graphite. I think the most I taste out of this wine is black cherry flavors. But is tastes much more like a cabernet sauvignon then the other wine I had. My review:   I like this wine a lot more than the other one I tried. Much more full body and good dark fruit flavors as well as some earthy notes. Very evident that this wine is mostly Cabernet Sauvignon and I feel like this is what one should taste l...

Carson Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 Paso Robles

Name:  Carson Ridge Cabernet Sauvignon 2017 Paso Robles Variety:  Cabernet Sauvignon Region:  California Country:  USA Year:  2017 Price:  13.99 Winery review:   This Cabernet Sauvignon embodies all the richness of the Paso Robles appellation; deep color, ripe berry aromas, medium tannins, touch of oak and a lush mouth feel. Enjoy now with your favorite hearty entrees or soft cheeses.  Wine Folly: Pg. Pg. 88 on Cabernet Sauvignon says there are black cherry flavors, black currant, cedar, baking spices, and graphite. I definitely tasted some fruitier flavors like black cherry and I think I also tasted some woody flavors like cedar and some baking spices like maybe a bit of cinnamon and vanilla, but I feel like most of those were because the wine was oaked.  My review:   To be honest I really did not like this wine. It was a Cabernet Sauvignon and it really did not taste like one much to me. It was much too sweet tasting which I am a littl...
