I am back and ready to stay for a while. In this post I will discuss a handful of wines Jaclyn and I have tasted lately, some great, others just ok. Enjoy!
Lyeth Meritage 2005
So I found a new great wine store in El Paso (believe it or not). I picked up two wines on my first visit and this is one. The bottle was beautiful black with gold writing. Unfortunately for me the wine was not as great. We let is open up for about 1 1/2 hours and it got better but still not a wine I would purchase again.
Jim Barry Cover Drive Cab Sav 05'
This was he other wine I purchased that night, and unlike the previous it was INCREDIBLE. I mean and absolute gem, dark in color and get balance on the palate. It's an Aussie Cab that I would put up against many California powerhouses. I have read the write up on the 06' and the reviews are better than the 05' Thanksgiving we will be purchasing some at Specs.
Nobilo Icon Sav Blanc 08'
THIS IS WHAT SAV BLANC IS ALL ABOUT (or at least should be)! I have had quite a few Sav Blancs this summer and hands down this is my favorite. It has a sister Sac Blanc with the name Nobilo at approx $8 a bottle also great but the "Icon" part it worth the extra few bucks if you can find it. Think Citrus and Green Apple. Don't worry Nick I picked you up a bottle already.
