Mollydooker Wines-The Boxer-Shiraz-Australia-2008-$24.99-A nose of bold fruit and spice with noticeable alcohol, dark black purple in color. A bold full bodied over the top Shiraz, I really like this wine when it’s a few years old, when it’s young the alcohol overwhelms the fruit, plum, blueberry, bacon. I have tried The Boxer in 2005, 06, 07 and now 08, wait a couple years and this will calm down. RP-91 WS-91 CR-4 Good with steak, chicken, pasta.
Louis M. Martini Winery-Cabernet Sauvignon-Napa Valley-California-2006-$16.99-A nose of dark fruit, dark amber in color. Blueberry, black cherry, licorice, a smooth full bodied red, not as bold as the 2005 but very good, a good value. RP-90 CR-4 Good with meats, chicken ,pasta.
