in wine mini-reviews

Uhm, like what is this stuff?
I taste a bunch-o-wine (technical term for more than most people). So each week, I share some of my wine sample tasting notes via twitter (limited to 140 characters). They are meant to be fun, quickly-and-easily-digestible reviews. Below is a wrap-up of the twitter reviews from the past week (click here for the skinny on how to read them), along with links to help you find them so you can try them for yourself. Cheers!

  • 08 O. Fournier (Maule): A red about as concentrated, powerful & sexy as any sports car that ever cruised the streets of Santiago. $80 A- >>find this wine>>
  • 08 Viña Siegel Gran Crucero Limited Edition (Colchagua): For those who like their bright red fruits w/ a side of savory smoked meat. $29 B >>find this wine>>
  • 06 Neyen Espiritu de Apalta (Colchagua): Savory & just the right hints of spice, herbs & sweet oak. But the structure’s the real star $50 B+ >>find this wine>>
  • 07 Manzoni Estate Vineyards Syrah (Santa Lucia Highlands): This wine to BBQ ribs: “oh, yes… you will be mine… you *will* be mine!” $30 B >>find this wine>>
  • 08 Conundrum (California): A bit cloying? Maybe, but the kitchen-sink white blend scores in the bonus round for food-friendliness. $21 B >>find this wine>>
  • 08 Los Boldos Amalia (Cachapoal): Smooth-going low rider cruisin’ down the ave. Smoked meat & jammy blue fruit are ridin’ shotgun. $50 B+ >>find this wine>>
  • 10 Los Boldos Momentos Sauvignon Blanc (Casablanca): Herbs and wonderful citric, acidic lift playing kissing cousins in this charmer. $10 B- >>find this wine>>
  • 05 Haras Elegance (Maipo): Red & black fruits that are as smooth as silk, but it’s got a green streak running about a mile long. $40 B >>find this wine>>
  • 09 Mt Beautiful Cheviot Hills Sauvignon Blanc (North Canterbury): First guava, then veggies, then some heft, then just total delight. $17 B >>find this wine>>
  • 06 Cardinale Cabernet Sauvignon (Napa Valley): The kind of stellar Napa red that gets people hooked forever on stellar Napa reds. $215 A >>find this wine>>
