misc wines

Campo de Borja DO in the province of Zaragoza,...Image via WikipediaVina Collado Macabeo Campo de Borja Spain 2009.. there is always something about spanish  cava that I didnt like.. and now I know its Macabeo.. one of the white grapes allowed... this wine has a spritz to it.. but a very rustic rough finish.. a little like aspirin. cute label though

Vina Collado Garnacha 2009  a little better wine but still rustic.. raspberry jam and light bodied on the finish.. pleasant enough for the price..

From Massandra..out of st louis

Seven Hills Cabernet Klipsun Vineyard 2007 deep fruit flavors but light finish. not overly tannic or heavy.. definitely more about fruit than texture..

Beckman Cuvee le Bec Santa Ynez 2009  lots of fruit.. no subtle rhone flavors.. in your face.. strong midpalate with a softer ending.. good dark berry fruits though.
