Vampire Vineyards Merlot 2011

California, United States
4144 days ago

Wanda scored this wine: 100/100

A Vampire wine fan for over 9 years this was the first time we tried the Merlot. Had it while on vacay at a cabin on the lake. Has hints of cherry and spices. Oak also comes through. Enjoyed it with both steak and chicken.

Quail's Gate Old Vines Foch Reserve 2009

Okanogan, British Columbia, Canada

Wanda scored this wine: 96/100

This has been a favourite of mine for over 20 years. It's robust and aromatic with spice, berries and oak. Full bodied and earthy it's a wine to be shared.

A blend of Merlot, Cabernet, and Cognac makes this wine remarkable. Amber in colour. Apricot and honey notes stand out. Rich, delicious and best served chilled. Enjoyed with charcuterie meat & cheese board.

Fetish Playmates 2008

Barossa Valley, Australia

Wanda scored this wine: 96/100

A blend of Shiraz, Grenache, and Mataro (SGM) brings about bold flavours such as smoke, chocolate, black berries, black currant, pepper, cherries. Full bodied with a long finish. Taste great with a roast, ribs or steak/fries. We quite enjoy this wine.

19 Crimes Shiraz Durif 2010

Australia, Australia

Wanda scored this wine: 93/100

I love this wine and the story behind the 19 Crimes (a list of 19 transgressions punishable in the 18th century). This wine alludes personality, is dark, full bodied and very enjoyable with beef.
