Kosta Browne Wines-Pinot Noir-Russian River Valley-California-2006-$48.00-A nose of cherry and spice, medium amber in color. A smooth, medium to full bodied Pinot, raspberry, cherry cola, cinnamon and spice, bit of heat, a good Pinot Noir, decant for a hour or so. WS-91 CR-90 Good with seafood, salads, cheeses.
Casella Wines-Yellow Tail-The Reserve-Cabernet Sauvignon-Australia-2007-$12.99-A disjointed nose of dark fruit, dark amber in color. I tried this at a wine stores recommendation…and to give this wine a fair chance, it was the opposite of what the label stated, not velvety, not complex, no structure, not enjoyable. WS-87 WE-86 CR-79 Good as a cooking wine.
