Wynns Cabernet Sauvignon Coonawarra 2013 Bottle
Wynns Cabernet Sauvignon Coonawarra 2013
Australia
$39.95

I expected to be wowed but I wasn't. Yes, it's smooth, balanced and tasty but the nose and palate lacked intensity. Dare I say that I thought it was rather simple. An excellent value wine at $20 but not at $28. Enjoyable but it never really put a smile on my face.

For me this is a wine caught in a struggle between a little bit of character and what I refer to as the flavor of cheap wine. The little bit of character just wins in the end. On sale for $8.95 but I won't be buying it again.

Jacob's Creek Reserve Barossa Shiraz 2014, Barossa Valley Bottle
Jacob's Creek Reserve Barossa Shiraz 2014, Barossa Valley

$17.95

This is an absolute steal at the $4 off sale price. But it's the 2015 vintage that's available now in my neck of the woods (Richmond Hill) and luckily it didn't disappoint. Full bodied, complex and tasty with decent length and intensity. Not quite excellent but a very nice wine.
