2008 Santa Rita 120 Carmenere

The back label reads:

"According to legend, 120 Patriots, exhausted after a long, hard battle during the fight for Chile's independence, reached the lands belonging to Santa Rita. On that fateful night in 1814, these forces of liberty found refuge in the estate cellars. Today, within these same cellars, our award winning 120 wines are crafted to honor their heroic character."

Wow - great stuff - now I wonder if those Patriots found some wine with their refuge! Maybe they "took refuge in the wine"

Not a bad wine for $7 at BevMo. Reminds me a bit of Zinfandel and now I want to explore a bit more of this Chilean grape juice.

2008 Clayhouse Wines Adobe Red

Just opened a bottle of the 2008 Clayhouse Wines Adobe Red, a blend of 40% Zinfandel, 17% Syrah, 13% Petite Sirah, 9% Malbec, 6 % Cabernet Sauvignon, 6% Petit Verdot, 6% Tempranillo and 5% Merlot.

Hmmm - let's see - that adds up to 101 % enjoyment of this blend "created for that rebellious, hedonistic red wine lover inside of you, rustic like the adobe but refined with sensous dark fruit flavors" Really now - who writes this stuff!!!!

Not a bad bottle of red for the price (about $10). I'm a sucker for Zinfandel and that flavor profile dominates with the fruity notes that I love. The website doesn't list any residual sugar in the wine analysis, but I can taste it, leading to a nice balance that makes it very drinkable and smoooooooth.

2008 Red Rock Winery Reserve Malbec

Opened a bottle of 2008 Red Rock Winery Reserve Malbec tonight. Some nice cherries and currants in each mouth full - perfect for taming the fire of the homemade peanut sauce that I've whipped up to go with tonights grilled Pork tenderloin. I've also skewered a few thick cantelope slices and will be searing them on the grill. Now if you have never had warm grilled cantelope drizzled with spicy peanut sauce before ya got to try it! The sweetness of the cantelope is intensified by the grill and the salty spicy peanut sauce is the perfect compliment to it.
