Wine Reviews: Weekly Mini Round-Up For April 4, 20162 min read

Posted on April 4, 2016 by 1WineDude

in wine mini-reviews

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

  • NV H.M Borges Old Reserve 10 Years Old Verdelho (Madeira): Forcing dried tropical fruits on you; don't worry, you won't complain. $28 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 10 La Mozza Aragone Maremma Toscana (Tuscany): Green herbs and uber-ripe fruit coming together like chocolate and peanut butter. $35 B+ >>find this wine<<
  • 15 Tamiolakis Rhous White (Crete): Potent peach, prickly pear, and pure white flowers; if it's Spring, this needs to be in my mouth. $NA B+ >>find this wine<<

  • 12 Cairdean Acquaintance Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon (Coombsville): Fans of hedonism will sure as sh*t want to make its acquaintance. $98 A- >>find this wine<<
  • 13 Ehlers Estate Merlot (Napa Valley): Toasty, powerful, and densely-packed; an open full bottle won't stay that way for very long. $55 A- >>find this wine<<
