"alcohol imbalance" on Snooth


So you don't like even some of the more expensive chardonnays from Burgundy? I am not a 'white OR red' type of drinker, but love many versions of both under the proper respective circumstances. That being said, there are a...

Corti Chianti Classico Cortevecchia Riserva 2005

60% Nero d'Avola, 40% Frappato di Vittoria, 13% ABV I was persuaded by my chatty and enthusiastic local Philglas & Swiggot man to buy this unusual Sicilian red wine with a strange fat bottle, not cheap at around £17.00,...

Cos Cerasuolo di Vittoria 2006

Starting at $17.59 Snoothrank: 3.5/5

Great fresh citric sourness with light oak flavor. This wine is very fresh and enjoyable. Try this on a hot summer afternoon.

Very nice blend of Syrah and Mourvèdre from South Africa. Hints of blackberry and black currant with a background of young tannins. Tasted slightly hot to me but it may just need some more time in the bottle. I would hold...

Waterford Pecan Stream Red 2005

Starting at $13.00 Snoothrank: 3/5
March 2009

The wine has a pink tinge to it upon pouring, but the color in the glass is a light golden color. The pink adds some interest to the wine and prepares the consumer for the sweetnss he is about to embark. The natural...

Luccio Moscato d'Asti

Starting at $9.79 Snoothrank: 3.5/5

Bring on the hot summer afternoons. I love this wine, in the screen porch, listening to the cicadas, waiting for dinner to be made. Light, and easy. mmmmmmmm mmmmmm.

Beringer Chenin Blanc 2002

Starting at $20.00 Snoothrank: 3/5
March 2009

Lightly jammy cherries on the nose but nor overtly sweet with fine mineral notes, licorice, asphalt, vanilla and an earthy potato/root vegetable tone. This opens with lots of exotic tea notes that seem a little sweet then...

C3 Crazy Eights 2005

Starting at $38.00 Snoothrank: 4/5

Earthy and tight on the nose with a bit of French oak adding sweetness to the mineral and dried cherry/strawberry tones that have a slight leathery edge. The sweet fruit on entry is met with a great acidic cut that leaves...

Truchard Tempranillo 2004

Starting at $25.00 Snoothrank: 3.5/5

Hot damn! I was not expecting this wine to be this good. It was so complex! Red berry, floral, and licorice on the nose. Was more light-bodied than I'd expected. Very balanced with a nice long finish. Have a few more...
