2004 Carbernet Sauvignon from Lindeman Bin 43

Got it on my first week of Atlanta trip. As a celebration of my new job!?

They are packaged in small package. Typically, I don't have good impression
for these small bottle wine. But actually it is very nice Carbernet. Very smooth
but with dense taste.

2004 Carbernet Sauvignon from Casa Mayor

My mom grabbed this from Northwest flight crossing pacific ocean.
I believe I had it before.
It is kind of acid, for a Carbernet. The taste is
just bearable.

2003 Shiraz Carbernet from Jacob's Creek

First time tried the mixed. I picked the Shiraz with the Carbernet, just
because I had better impression for these two varieties.

It went ok. No surprise and not went below expectation. I guess probably
because it is just a cheap one from Costco :p

Porto from Warre's warrior ?Here you are, Darling?

My wife always said "I prefer a sweater wine" after trying even pink
Zinfandel. Ok, fine, got a Porto for you.
Precisely, Porto is not in wine
category, isn't it?
Anyway, now my wife is mixing Porto with Carbernet
because it is way?. haha :D


It is strong and heavy. Wondering when should I drink this. Probably after
Brazil grill!?

2004 Pinot Noir from Cavit ?mmm

First time try Pinot Noir.
Well?Maybe I can blame the small package, or
it is not a expensive one.
I want to try something new, so we pick a cheap
and small package Pinot Noir.
It was ok?but be frank, I don't remember how
it tasted now :D So, I guessed it is not very impressive either.

Sometimes, I am wondering what I am doing here. I used to drink something and
then try to remember it after couple weeks, or even months? then it ends up
with less fresh memeory.

The Black Dog from Château Morrisette

Tried another Virginia wine. The vinyard is actaully pretty close, within
couple hours driving distance. The label is weird, did not have the detail level I like. So, before trying it, it is all guessing game (well, with detail label, still guessing :p)
Maybe is the way they sale :D
It is kind of plain, but not the way of Merlot. It is acid but lighter than normal Shiraz. It has some favors, but lighter than Carbernet.. I guessed it must mixed some of them.
Now I think I am partially right. from its website. It is mixed from
Cabernet, Merlot and Chambourcin (never had this before) !!


Ps: From the price, we know it is not aiming at high end already :p
end already
