Red Truck 2004
April 16th, 2007
A bit of everything.
This wine combines a lot, despite the name, it doesn’t hit you in the face like a truck. It is well balanced and pleasant.
In the glass it is a red with dark purple. The nose is light, no hints of oak are detected. The taste of this wine is unique, complete with a lite oak. My tongue finds more of a Syrah flavor than anything else, but still detecting some slight oak and pepper. The finish is smooth to the slightest hint of bitterness.
Nothing is really distinct about this wine, it’s just surprising how well balanced it is, especially since I wasn’t expecting much. For the price this wine blend will definitely appear on my table again.

- Grayson Cellars Merlot 2004
Went to the Corner Wine Bar today and had some wine. Kinda cool setup where you can order a “wine sampler” and try several different wines that the bar sells. I don’t recommend going there on a ninety degree day though because it ruins the whole experience trying to ejoy a Cabernet while sweating your [...]... - Bogle Merlot 2004
I was really excited to try this wine because I have heard great things. I thought the price was a little much, but in the name of science, I was willing to give it a try. The color is a dark ruby and the legs were consistant with a 13.5% ALC Merlot. The aromas are [...]... - Jacobs Creek 2004 Shiraz Cabernet
Why did I buy this? This is a combo of both Shiraz and Cabernet Sauvignon, 53% and 47% respectively. Perhaps they should have made up their mind and stuck with that. I’m thinking they needed to drown out a bad batch of Cabernet with some Shiraz. The appearance is light red, very light, looking very [...]... - Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi Zinfandel 2004
Could a Robert Mondavi wine disappoint? It’s quite possible, but not likely. I was excited to try this wine since I paid $7.99, but I am sure you could find this around $6.00. Never be fooled by price my friends as it is very easy to have high expectations and then quickly end up dissapointed. [...]... - Rosa Del Golfo Primitivo 2004 (Zinfandel)
I had this wine at a wine tasting in Chicago at Que Syrah Fine Wines . This is a very nice specialty wine shop with a wide variety of wonderful wines.If you are ever in the area, I highly recommend you stop by. During the tasting the Sommelier informed our group that Primitivo is essentially [...]...
