"Twitter Taste" Special: 2 ounces of each wine for $10 Melka 'CJ' Cabernet Sauvignon '08, Napa Valley, California The 2008 CJ Cabernet is ripe with blueberry, black currant and black cherry jamminess. On the nose there is a hint of anise and black pepper, which appears again on the back of the palate. Its fine-grain tannins add texture while oak-influence adds a caramel flavor to the wine's medium length finish.
Vinas del Cenit Tempranillo '04, Toro, Spain 
Deep purple in color with aromatic intensity of graphite, blackberries, blueberries, and spice box. Rich and full-bodied but with a superb touch of elegance and restraint. Flavors of chocolate and raspberries explode on the palate, with a good deal of acidity and tannin adding to complexity. Outstanding!! 2 ounce $6.00 5 ounce $12.00 |
