Viña Morena

 



Name: Viña Morena

Variety: Tempranillo

Country and Region: Castilla, Spain

Year: 2020

Winery Review: Rosado Tempranillo from Vinã Morena is a darker rosé wine from southern Spain. It is a medium light and semi-dry rosé with a fresh and half sweet taste. It is easy to drink and has notes of strawberry and fresh red fruit. Enjoy it at 6-8 ° C with fish, poultry or salads. Serve it as a welcome drink for small aperitifs on a hot summer day in the company of good friends.

Wine Foley Page 816: This is one of Spain’s best wine. This type of wine ages in oak barrels for 20 or more years, which is why it is more expensive. It is a bold wine, and pairs well with steak, a rack of lamb, and burgers. There are hints of cedar, tobacco, dill, and cherry.

My review: I really liked this wine. It had a distinct flavor, maybe because I tried it while on vacation. This was my first time having a wine of this specific grape. Luckily we tried this wine at a steakhouse, and I must say it paired perfectly. It was a good mix of dry and sweet. I would definitely recommend this wine to a friend.

Artie Review

  Name: Artie  Variety: Pinot Grigio Country and Region: Vino d’Italia, Italy Year: 2019 Winery Review: ​​Meet Artie Pinot Grigio, a delicious white waiting to make your acquaintance. A smooth Italian Pinot Grigio singing with zesty citrus and lush stone fruit, Artie makes an easy-going companion for a variety of casual fare and fun. Wine Folly Page 667: This grape is a pink grape mutation from Pinot Noir. This is a versatile wine since it is used in the making of sweet to dry wines. This wine pairs well with white meats, seafood, and food with a hint of fruity flavor (for example a zesty lemon linguine dish). This grape has a shelf life between 1 and 5 years and should be kept in rather cooler rooms. Italy is the largest grower of this grape, with the United States and Germany as close runner ups. My Review: I have never really been a fan of white wine in general, however this wine had the perfect balance of fruitiness and dryness. I paired this wine with a shrimp scampi dish and it w

Product of wide displacement and recognized quality in hundreds of consumption centers of the hotel sector of Cancun, Riviera Maya and Mexican Pacific. Wine Folly Page 311: These wines are concentrated and aged for long periods. It originated in Bordeaux, France. It has high tannin and rich flavor, making it a perfect pairing with grilled meats and dishes with lots of flavor. France, Chile, and the US are the primary producers. My Review: I was not a huge fan of this wine. This wine was very acidic, which is a quality I do not like. Once I tried this wine with food, it became more tolerable. I ate at the steakhouse at the resort which came with steak, shrimp, and veggies. It paired well with the steak and shrimp, but not so much the veggies. I got what I expected! Ov

Alamos Malec Review

  Name: Alamos Malbec  Variety: Malbec Grapes Country and Region: Mendoza, Argentina Year: 2020 Winery Review: Alamos Malbec offers layers of dark cherry and blackberry and a velvety mouthfeel. Aromas of violet intertwine with spice and vanilla, while balanced tannins create a velvety mouthfeel and expansive finish. This Malbec delivers a complex fine red wine that pairs beautifully with a wide range of cuisine and goes beyond the expected. Wine Folly Page 534: Malbec is Argentina's most important grape variety, which came about by France, where they name it Cot. It contains a dark fruity and chocolate aftertaste. It is a great drink alongside leaner red meats as well as melted Blue Cheese. It is predominantly grown in Argentina, but also is grown in Australia in good quantities.  My Review: This wine had such a bold aroma before I even tasted it. I could smell the dark fruity component, but not so much the chocolate aftertaste. It was not until I tried it that I could taste the ch
