Toasted Head Cabernet

This is a new all time favorite of mine.. It is a dark rich red that \pairs well with Beef, Pasta and Pork. My supermarket has had it on sale for 9.99 for the last four months so I have enjoyed it smokey dry flavor over and over again.n It starts with aromas of dark cherry fruit, currant, toasty oak, and vanilla, followed by flavors of dark cherry, blackberry, cassis, smoky clove and sweet vanilla. It is great drinking dry red..try it --you will love it!

Darkhorse Cabernet

This is a great new wine I just found at Trader Joes, Its from California..I dont know what city..its a bold flavor of blackberry and black cherry, dark brown spice and a dark chocolate espresso finish. It was easy on my palate and it was 8.99 ! What a great buy..It will be a favorite for me!

RODNEY STRONG ALEXANDER VALLEY CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2004

Another one of the great Alexander Valley wines..Rodney Strong has produced a great wine with smooth mouth feel and a great berry and plum finish.. It has a oak barrel flavor which is evident and is a great mouthful of wine! It runs around 20.00 a bottle I was lucky enough to receive a 2004 from my husband for Valentines Day!
