RODNEY STRONG ALEXANDER VALLEY CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2004

Another one of the great Alexander Valley wines..Rodney Strong has produced a great wine with smooth mouth feel and a great berry and plum finish.. It has a oak barrel flavor which is evident and is a great mouthful of wine! It runs around 20.00 a bottle I was lucky enough to receive a 2004 from my husband for Valentines Day!

KOONUNGA HILL MERLOT

Koonunga Hill is a Penfolds wine from South Australia. It has a plum and cherry flavor with a slight cedar oak undercurrent. It is a quite drinkable wine with normal merlot overtones. It runs about 14.00 a bottle

NERO D' AVOLA

Nero d Avola is an Italian made wine from D'Aquino vineyards in Italy. It was inexpensive and easily available. It had a spicy berry flavor with a jammy finish..it was not overwhelmingly good. It was under ten dollars.
