Yellow Tail, Shiraz - Grenache 2005

7.5/10 - Excellent Value

We bought this wine for $6 - $7 at HEB, and for the price it is one of the best values out there. This wine easily tastes like it could be a high-quality $10 - $15 wine. We highly recommend this wine.

Bouchaine Pinot Noir - 2002

Good - 7/10


Cupeno Cabernet/Merlot - 2001

Excellent - 9/10

Logan gave me a membership to a wine club for my birthday, and so far the wines have been wonderful!  This cab/merlot is a rich wine full in flavor.  Better Homes and Gardens describes its body well, "Dark brick in color, this intense red drips colored 'legs' down the side of the glass."

Riparosso Illuminati Dry Red Wine - 2004

Excellent - 8/10

We tried this wine at Mandola's Italian market, and loved it. They let us try this wine against the house Chianti, and there was no comparison - this is a very good wine.
