Store Review:

"Cabernet Sauvignon is known as the King of Red Grapes, and this California Cabernet lives up to its title. It teases the nose with hints of vanilla and oak, and excites the palate with flavors of dark cherry, caramel, and coffee. It is royally smooth and bold. Pair it with grilled fish, pasta dishes, or chicken salad for the full royal treatment!"

Wine Folly:

Pg. 88 - Cabernet Sauvignons in general are known for their significantly rich flavors. They're known to go well with rich grilled meats and dishes that have peppery flavors that really grab you. 
    The same is true for the Parkers Estate 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon. Typically Cabernet Sauvignons are a very rich wine in flavor which could potentially clash with these pairings but the Parkers Estate is not one of those examples. It is a much more smooth wine and seems to compliment these dishes well based on its flavor profile. Like most, it has significant flavors from dark cherry.

My Review:

The Parkers Estate 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon was very solid. I typically don't really enjoy Cabernet Sauvignons, they have such significant body and high tannin content that I find the taste too rich and not balanced enough. But as far as Cabernet Sauvignons go for me, the Parkers Estate edition delivered quite nicely. The hints of vanilla in this wine were significant and a great touch. It was very smooth while still capturing the flavor very well without sending my taste buds into shock. I was very impressed by this wine, I had it with some pasta my roommate made for dinner and it was an excellent pairing, though I think it would do well on its own as a sipping wine. (8.5/10)

Name: Josh 2022 Pinot Grigio Variety: Pinot Grigio (Pinot Gris) Region: California Country: United States  Year: 2022 Price: $12 Online Review: " Josh Cellars Pinot Grigio was a hit! I brought this bottle to an after holiday party to give to the host for a gift! We drank it with dinner and everyone loved it! I don’t know much about wine, but the host is a wine drinker and was very satisfied with it! I loved it as well! It was very crisp, and it tasted like pear and melon I would say, with like a little bit of a like citrus taste to it. It was really nice. It was like a light taste. I got this bottle complementary from influencer for my honest review, and I will definitely put it on my wine list for the future!" Wine Folly: Pg. 148 and 149 - Pinot Gris is mostly a sweet and/or dry white wine. The Josh Pinot Grigio was a perfect middle ground of dry and sweet containing the typical taste of melon but also having the crisp taste of pear. Pinot Gris is known for its presence in ...

Tasting - Casillero del Diablo 2021 Red Blend

Name: Casillero del Diablo 2021 Red Blend Variety: Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Carmenere Region: Central Valley, Chile Country: Chile Year: 2021 Price: $9 Online Review: " The  2017 Concha y Toro Casillero del Diablo Reserva Red Blend  begins with abundant aromas of black fruit with a touch of green pepper, a little anise, and some licorice and chocolate notes. The wine tastes very smooth with soft tannins and flavors that mimic the nose with a bit more oak apparent, but there's still tons of rich fruit. It's quite a satisfying blend. On the long finish, the sweet fruit gives way to more spice, chocolate, and licorice. While there's quite a bit of sweetness on the palate and finish, it handles it well and does the very popular semi-sweet red blend style proud without feeling manufactured." Wine Folly: Pg. 91 - Camenere grapes - One of the grape varieties in the blend is known as a more herbally and peppercorn-flavored form of Merlot grape. It is known to be pr...

Tasting - Gascon 2023 Malbec

  Name: Gascon 2023 Malbec Variety: Malbec Region: Mendoza Country: Argentina Year: 2023 Price: $14 Online Review: " The first thing I noticed about the appearance of this 100% Malbec was its serious legs.  There were many, they were thick, and were very slow to fall in the glass.  In terms of the wine’s color, my friend described it as "Ruby/Onyx with a dark center that had little translucency.”  The wine’s deep aroma was immediately noticeable when the cork was pulled.  Upon first up-close sniff, we both remarked at the significant whiff of alcohol on the nose. " Wine Folly: Pg. 125 - Malbec in general is known to be an Argentinian wine. It is absolutely dominated in terms of production by Argentina in comparison with the rest of the world. Argentina produces about 83% of all Malbec wines. Malbec doesn't have a long finish like Cabernet Sauvignons, its a very dark wine and so its a great introductory red wine for many new wine drinkers. It has significant body...
