Juslyn Vineyard-Perry’s Blend-Cabernet Sauvignon-Cabernet Franc-Merlot-Petit Verdot-Napa Valley-California-2002-$39.98-A nose of dark fruits and spice, dark garnet in color. A full bodied red blend, with blueberries, black currants, with earthy spice finish, not as good as I thought it would be. Drank at a Jet’s game tailgate so did not decant and maybe that affected rating. RP-93 WE-91 CR-90 Good with steak, chicken, pasta.
Jim Barry Wines-Shiraz-The Lodge Hill-Clare Valley-Australia-2008-$13.22-A nose of minty dark fruit and spice, dark purple in color. A medium to full bodied Shiraz, with raspberry, blackberry, minerals and pepper, heat was under control. RP-90 WS-89 CR-88 Good with meats, chicken, pasta.
