2004 Texas Iconoclast Cabernet Sauvignon

Great Cab for around $10. I think it is better than the Becker Cab Reserve. Great flavor and a great every day wine.

2004 Ridge Lytton Springs Zinfindel

2004 Ridge Lytton Springs Zinfindel

Ridge was one of the first wine maker to add more information to the labet such as which vineyard and seasonal weather conditions.

Great wine to taste the differences between areas and seasons.

2005 Becker Claret

It was carefully matured in French and American oak barrels for 15 months. This rich and complex wine produces essences of raspberries, chocolate and spices.

2004 Concannon Cabernet Sauvignon

2004 Concannon Cabernet Sauvignon

Powerful black cherry taste. Nothing too spectacular but very drinkable. Nice semi monthly rotation in the every day wine category.

*I met the owner, Jim Concannon at a supermarket tasting. I believe Concannon is better known for their Petite Syrah.
