2003 Santa Ema Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon
(2008-04-03 12:43:24 UTC)Nose of black cherry and chocolate with some underlying vanilla. Nice mouthfeel and good balance. Nice cassis and coffee notes intertwine with the dark cherries. Smooth tannins and decent finish. Great value. I doubt you'll find the 03's anymore but more recent vintages are great values as well.
2005 Gordon Brothers Late Harvest Gewurztraminer
(2008-04-03 12:37:56 UTC)peach and baking spice aromas. Nice and viscouse with overwhellming sweetnss and apricot. A little to over the top. But if you likes sweets this is candy.
