Place: Australia Price: $23.99 Aroma: Very Floral, Pasture Taste: Short Flavors Detected: Black Fruit, Olive Juice This bottle is definitely eye catching. I noticed it a few times at the local wine store. It has a very unique and different taste, maybe due to the mataro grape. I don’t believe either of us have ever [...]

Place: California Price: $12.99 Aroma: Apple, Pineapple, Steely Oak Color: Pale White Gold Taste: Light Body Flavors Detected: Diffused Peach This wine was nothing special for us. The graphic on the bottle was far more exciting than the wine inside. It’s a very shallow wine and has very little taste and that taste isn’t much. It’s certainly not [...]

Jean-Luc Colombo Syrah La Violette 2006
13 Feb 2009Place: France Price: $9.99 Aroma: Floral, Stoney Color: Dark Burgundy Taste: Watery, doesn’t linger Flavors Detected: Raspberry We tried this Syrah alongside the Red Bicyclette Syrah as part of a cheap, French Syrah comparison test.

Place: Spain Price: $9.99 Aroma: Raspberries, Dark Chocolate Color: Dark Cherry Taste: Slight Sweetness Flavors Detected: Black Fruits, Currans, Charcoal, Licorice We had this with buffalo shrimp tacos and while it wasn’t bad it didn’t enhance the flavors of either the food or the wine. They were supposed to be chipotle tacos but Baltimore was sold out [...]
