dkmrd5 reviewed Smoking Loon Cabernet Sauvignon 2007. (3/5)
On Nov 17

Aromas of blackberry, dark berry, and slight cherry. On the tongue, it was oaky with some lingering tannins. Rather disappointing after the promising aroma but still it was an acceptable drink!

Smoking Loon Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Starting at $8.99 Snoothrank: 3/5

Soft fruit, although nothing specific on the nose. Dark cherry, balanced fruit with oaky tones....with a slight burn as it goes down.

Crisp citris, slightly grapefruit aroma, balanced acidity with almost a lemonade quality on the tongue. Glad to see the grapefruit wasnt overwhelming. My first impression was that it reminded me...

Kim Crawford Sauvignon Blanc 2007

Starting at $13.33 Snoothrank: 3.5/5
On Oct 25

Bright fruit with a little tartness in the aroma. However, the aroma is bigger than the actual taste. Rather soft with an oaky, tannic finish. Also, rather hot, 14.5 % alcohol. Better cabs out...

Excelsior Cabernet Sauvignon South Africa Dry 2006

Starting at $8.84 Snoothrank: 2.5/5
dkmrd5 reviewed Tierra de Luna Syrah/Malbec 2008. (2.5/5)
On Oct 25

Fruity aromas in the nose, albeit the long you breath it, it has burning quality that burns the nasal passages. Begins as an off taste then goes to a slightly fruite and definately oaky finish...

Tierra de Luna Syrah/Malbec 2008

Starting at $6.84 Snoothrank: 2.5/5
