This Cab Sauv. Label is decent. Dark maroon. Hint of vanilla and caramel with the fruit forward smells on the nose. Taste is balanced and complex. Tannins are strong. Bits of tar and smoke with the very berry stuff. This is well worth the $3-4 at Gross Out. Maybe not the best of Reserva around, but very serviceable. — 7 days ago
Cool label with a handprint. New Age mumbo jumbo on the back-label. Dark lovely maroon color. Aromas are berry, earth and cut fresh hardwood. Flavors are nice. Full, rustic and pleasing if a bit simple. Hints of mocha and cherry pits to go with a nice fruit and brandy background. Pretty much par for the course WA red blend. — 17 days ago
Looks like Australian wine. Critter label. Funny name. Cheap. Organic! that’s cool. Lighter color. Thin? Smells like berries and blood sausages. Or is that curry spices. Flavors are smooth and easy. Thin for sure. It’s got plenty of acids, but drifts toward the austere style of natural wines from Europe. It’s acceptable, but I like more substance to my Temp. — 3 days ago

Not much interesting in the label design. Dark, deep color. Smells like berries and tobacco. Flavors are chewy, full and robust. Coffee and tobacco with the blackberry syrup and licorice too. Not bad for a TJ flyer if you want Chilean wine. — 6 days ago
Cute tall bottle. Lighter color. Translucent. Smells juicy and stemy. Fruit jam meets stream side. Flavors are classic Pinot. More tonics and herb teas than straight juicy red fruits. Simple, but well made. Complex and elegant bottle of Pinot. — 14 days ago

Cheapie from Trader Joe’s. Think I’ve had this before. Lion with a soccer ball in its paw on label. Smells a bit like licorice and smoked stuff. Flavors are rich and full. Hint of that tobacco leaf Carmenere is known for. Plenty of bittersweet complexity on the tongue. Enjoyable Bordeaux style red. — 7 hours ago
