2011 Trader Joe's Cabernet Sauvignon Grand Reserve Lot# 16Napa Valley more |
10/4/2013 - aaronts222 Likes this wine: 87 pointsThis is pretty good. It blows my mind how much variety you can find in the Trader Joe's Reserve Labels. This is one of the better, especially for $12.99. |

8/9/2013 - aaronts222 Likes this wine: 90 points90 now, but needs time to get to 91-93. Felt like a little something was lacking in the finish, otherwise really good structure. Tasting notes consistent with others. |

2009 Stonestreet Cabernet Sauvignon Monument RidgeAlexander Valley more |
7/28/2013 - aaronts222 Likes this wine: 92 pointsThis was enjoyed by all, silky tannis and fat mouthfeel. Mocha and dark berries. Would have liked a little more balance from this sweet fruit, but still a very nice wine. |

2011 Meiomi Pinot NoirCalifornia more |
1/7/2013 - aaronts222 Likes this wine: 92 pointsVery smooth fruit taste here. Has good depth for a pinot. It's almost too simple and leaves you wanting more spice. Seems to get more of a woody flavor the longer it is in the glass. Overall, definitely a good wine, and awesome at this price point. (SA) |
