Volpetti
Malvasia, Trebbiano
Greco
$7.95
Italy
"Straw yellow in color with a soft, delicate perfume, fruitful flavor, dry and harmonious taste. Perfect with appetizers, soups, fish."
This is a light wine, I'd drink it at a picnic on a spring day. Smells sweet, it's VERY dry to me. Taste kind of like plastic, but I don't think I mind it too much.
Rose
$7.95
Italy
"Fresh with aromas of strawberries, cherries and rose petals. This is ideal with shellfish, salads, chicken, and with appetizers"
My only notes state that it's sort of sour and that I can really taste the strawberries.
Beaujolais Nouveau
$14-->$3.95
France
"Balanced and lightly creamy, offering pretty flavors of plum sauce and raspberry coulis threaded with hints of ground spice. Elegant, with a floral finish. Drink now."
I don't have much to say about this wine either, except that it's earthy. I don't know, but I think that's my go to descriptor for a lot of red wines. There's this sort of musky smell that I can't exactly pinpoint so I automatically go to earthy to describe.
Cabernet Sauvignon
$15--> $6.95
Argentina
"Intense red color with violet highlights, with clean, fresh and complex aromas of berries, plums, figs and pepper. Strong personality is in perfect balance with a medium body and pleasant tannins. Ideal for: red meats, cheeses and strong sauces."
The nose: mushrooms, horse with some heat. I like it more than I thought I would. The plums and pepper make a nice combo on the palate. The body is lovely and the tannins are pretty sweet too.
