Winery Review: Pale straw-yellow color with brilliant reflections. Delicately fruity bouquet, with outstanding finesse and marked hints of almond blossom and peaches. Elegant, soft and wellstructured fruit on the palate, with remarkable freshness and a clean, persistent aftertaste.
My Review: The aroma of this wine was very pleasant. It had a wonderful smell of flowers, but with a hint of fruit. The taste was very smooth. It was not too bitter, but not too sweet. It had almost no burn, and was very not too overpowering with fruit flavors, the most distinct being peach.

Winery Review: Intensely flavored and balanced with layers of vanilla, butter and pear, followed by apple, banana and oak.
My Review: This wine smelled wonderful right off the bat. It was filled with almost every scent that comes to mind when thinking of wine. Fruits to spices, to flowers. The taste was only subpar in my mind though. I found it a little too dry for my taste, and there was just too much going on for me to really enjoy it. Id didn;t have this wine with food.
Variety: Carmenere

Country: Chilie

Winery Review: The grapes for this Carménère are selected from vineyards in the Central Valley. Beautiful red fruit aromas. Supple and round in the mouth, the wine pairs well with full flavored cheeses and lamb
My Review: This wine had a fantastic aroma. I could detect berries and almost what reminded me of a red delicious apple. The taste didn't disappoint either. This was probably my favorite wine of the day. It was blended perfectly, each flavor meshing well with the other. The most prominent taste was that of berry. I didn't have this wine with food.
Variety: Corbieres

Winery Review: 50% Carignan, 35% Grenache, 15% Syrah. Brambly berry, cherry and raspberry, spices, black pepper…all are present in this authentic French country wine.
My Review: The aroma of this wine was all over the place. I could smell everything from fruits to pepper. The taste was pretty interesting as well. At first I could taste the berry/cherry flavor, but was left with an almost peppery taste in my mouth. It was also somewhat smokey. I didn't have this wine with food.

Winery Review:
Leibfraumilch is a soft, delicate wine of the Rheinhessen an Palatinate districts. The original wine was named after the Leibfraumilch monastery in Worms, where the monks were the first wine growers and produced an unusually pleasing wine. Wines of the Rheinhessen and Palatinate are noted for their aroma, wellbalanced harmony, and fragrance. Leibfraumilch, as all excellent white wines is best served chilled. We suggest serving with cold entrees, as well as poultry, such as chicken or turkey, or even with a mild Cheddar, mellow and slightly nutty with a medium consistency
My Review: This wine was smelled like a fresh bouquet of flowers. It was very pleasant and reminded me of a nice spring day with a little breeze. The taste was also fantastic. The flavors all blended together perfected, as if in perfect harmony. I could detect fruits and spices, and possibly honey. I didn't have this wine with food.
