In honor of my beloved cincinnati reds going down in flames this week I've picked some great reds for the grill. Grilling is my thing and lately I've discovered some hidden 'web' gems.
2006 Coppola Malbec- A rare california malbec that starts with spice and cedar and finishes with a beautiful chocolate and tannic finish. Well endowed and powerful but well balanced... If it was right handed we could put it in left field. $14.98 at liquor direct wine & spirits liquordirect.net .
2006 337 cabernet sauvignon Lodi california- A classic california cab. Young and approachable with a little bit of Rutherford dust on the nose black currant and coffee on the mid-palate and a nice long finish. I thought this wine was a $20 bottle based on the quality... A fantastic bottle for relief after another blown save. $9.99 at liquor direct wine & spirits liquordirect.net .
2006 Cline Cashmere- A soft and lush california grenache, syrah and mourvedre blend that is perfect for some ribs and sauce on the side. This is a poor mans chateau neuf de pape with red fruit and bing cherry notes finishing long and smooth... the perfect glass to help you get over watching another of Adam Dunns' loooong singles. $12.98 at liquor direct wine & spirits liquordirect.net .
2005 Irony pinot noir monterey county- This is the perfect hot weather red. With strawberry and cinnamon notes and crisp clean acidity this is the perfect accomplice for grilled salmon and chicken with corn on the cob... Perfect while waiting for your red legs to bat out of order again. $11.99 at liquor direct wine & spirits liquordirect.net .
All for now
