2005 Finca Sandoval Manchuela

The first thing that you notice with this wine is the color. It's a really deep purple.

The other thing that you notice quickly with the wine is the thickness. It really covers the inside of your mouth. You feel like you can lick it out of the inside of you cheeks for 5 minutes.

Definitely get the peach on the nose with the wet stone on the nose.

Has some nice citrus. Lots of acid on the mouth feel that sticks around on the finish for a good bit.

2005 Peachy Canyon Petite Sirah

When your pour the wine, the first thing you notice is how frickin' dark it is. On the pour, it's dark purple and then just black as heck in the glas.

On the nose, I get a hint of that grape soda that you'd get in a can in your school lunches.

It's definitely very mouth covering. It feels thick.

Has nice tannins.

Bright red fruit.

2006 Hawk Crest Carbernet Sauvignon

Fruity on the front but dry and hot as hell on the end. Feels off balance. It's almost like a mullet.

Has a beautiful golden color

Still smell a little bit of hay on the nose. It tastes of sour apple. It's tart.

It's smells a little bit of straw that's been urinated on.

It tastes a little bit of citrus. It's a little bit hot on the mouth, like there is a bit too much alcohol.

2008 Vizconde de Barrantes

Had a strong citrus component, lemon, and pineapple. There is a little bit of acid on the finish. It's a delicious wine.
