Wine Of The Moment is just that. A moment of trying out a new bottle of wine and sharing our thoughts and impressions. There is no planned wine bottle that is to be opened or set time that it will be tasted. It is what ever just happens to be opened...for the moment. On occasion, we may also post our feedback on new wineries that we have visited as well as unique cheeses. So, pull up your own plate of cheese, crackers, and fruit and enjoy these discussions.

CA-3 NV; Location Wines; California
This blend of Petite Sirah,
Barbera, Tempranillo, Syrah, and Grenache represents a little bit of the best
of everything red from California. The beautiful ruby red hue is only the
start. The cherry aromas stand out the most, but you’ll sense the other
black fruit as well. It may be a bit hot at first, but after half an hour it
starts coming together. The herbal and raspberry flavors are quite nice
along with a bit of peppery notes. It’s a medium bodied wine with moderate
tannins and has a lengthy full finish. Not bad for a little bit of everything
from California. Take a few more sips and just enjoy for the fun of
it. Grab a few bottles, this one can be enjoyed now and you can stash a
few bottles for later. Cheers!
