2005 Solanera Vinas Viejas
(2009-11-09 21:41:48 UTC) buddy icon 2005 Solanera Vinas Viejas 89/100

Agreed on letting it sit for a few minutes - initially bland, but it opens up quite a bit. Great wine for the money, I'll buy this one again!

2006 Kelley Creek Cabernet Sauvignon

Tasty with plenty of cherry flavors but not too fruity. Tastes "light" for a Cabernet. 14.7% alcohol!

Pretty good for $11 - medium body, fairly smooth for the price.

Full body, but not too heavy, very drinkable all alone.

Not bad for the price, but there are definitely better cabs out there for $12 - $15.

Excellent value - worth every penny. Medium bodied cab, very drinkable, but not quite as smooth as something a little more expensive. I'd definitely buy this one again.

2004 Barahonda Monastrell

Medium bodied with a fairly intense finish. Enjoyed more with food than without. Hints of berries, but not fruity-tasting. Great value for the money!

2003 Castaño Monastrell

Deep, dark, fairly heavy red from Spain; preferred with food. Lots of crud floating around in the bottle, and the cork came out covered in sediment - wine tasted fine. Would definately purchase again as it wasn't very expensive.
