Brumont - Tannat-Merlot (2005)

Brumont
Tannat-Merlot
Vin de pays des côtes de Gascogne, France (2005)

Light, full-berried wine. Simple at first encounter, but mellow, warm, and smooth with each additional. The merlot adds much to the body and berry (cherry), but the Tannat, a grape local to the Gascogne region of France, keeps the wine feeling like smooth silk on a warm summer's eve.

Barefoot Cab-Sauv (2007)

Barefoot
Cabernet-Sauvignon
California (2007)

Lovely mellow and curvy wine. Gold-medal winner at the World Wine Competition (2007), this laid-back west-coast wine is presumptuous enough to challenge the European Cab-Sauv combinations, and come out neck-and-neck.

Rich and full bodied Cabernet combines with luscious berry to produce a very easy and pleasant wine to drink with many dishes.

Caracter - Argentina (2008)

Caracter
Chardonnay-Chenin
Argentina (2008)

A surprisingly delectable wine made of equal portions of Chardonnay and Chenin grapes. First impressions were of pear and crisp apple, followed by a hint of herb and tropical fruit.

Made in Mendoza region of Argentina, a region more well-known for its full bodied reds, this was a lovely summer delight.
