Frei Brothers Dry Creek Valley 2012 Zinfandel Reserve


 
Frei Brothers Dry Creek Valley 2012 Zinfandel Reserve, $13.60-$20.99, 90 points, began with a deep lovely Shiraz purple which tapered maroon toward the broad clear rim and leggy glass wall.
Aromatic cinnamon, cedar, and a gentle hint of clove complimented a spicy red cherry with hints of other red fruits.
Medium body with what is sometimes referred to as a dusty texture, which I added: dry-dusty texture with good acidity, and mulberry, blueberry, and blackberry flavors.
Finished long on white and black pepper, a hint of heat (14.8% alcohol), and slight vegetative note.
I bought this Zinfandel as a 'close-out' at the Londonderry Hannaford's Super Market.

Chateau Ste Michelle Columbia Valley 2013 Sauvignon Blanc






Chateau Ste Michelle Columbia Valley 2013 Sauvignon Blanc, $10.64, 88 points, poured a very light lime green trending gray to water-clear at the glass wall.
Bright aromas of apple, tangerine, grapefruit, and honeysuckle were quite good.
Light and crisp body carried good mouth-watering acidity, a bit tart, and flavors that faithfully mirrored the aromas with a hint of lemon grass.
Finished fair on the trailing palate with a dominant grapefruit and a touch of the 13% alcohol.
I found this 2013 SB at Walmart of Derry.

Mezzacorona Trentino D.O.C. Riesling



Mezzacorona Trentino D.O.C. Riesling,
2 for $10.00-$10.99 each, 86 points, appeared a yellow/green color, and smelled of petrol, caramel, and green apple.
The near medium body, was acidic, dry, and tart.
Flavors reflected the nose.
Finished well on the trailing palate and a hint of the 12.5% alcohol.
This was the first Italian Riesling I've come across, and at this price point I was not disappointed, though definitely a white table wine; paired well with my Australian sea bass.

Earth, toasty black cherry, and cedar on the nose were very good.
