    2007 Souverain “Winemaker’s Reserve” Cabernet Sauvignon

    David Honig
    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    Black cherry and mocha show on the nose. On the palate, big black cherry with cedar and spice box lead, followed by vanilla and loads of dark chocolate on the mid-palate, moving toward the finish. Tannins have some raw power, which should integrate with a few years in the cellar.

    2007 Trione Winery “Block 21” Cabernet Sauvignon

    1 min read
    The cabernet grapes for this wine come from a unique block in Trione’s vineyard, with two vines per stake to increase density. The vines grow in opposite directions and have two canes each. The nose shows black currant and cedar. On the palate, sweet black currant and black cherry pair

    The nose shows red plums and raspberry, deep red fruits with a bit of candied effect. The palate shows blue fruits, blueberry and elderberry, paired with a high-toned red fruit tartness. Mint and espresso peek out from behind the fruit on the mid-palate. Tannins are aggressive and drying, with acids

    Do You Really Want to Know? Label Transparency in the Wine Industry

    What information does the consumer want from the wine he's about to drink? Today's labels include the alcohol percentage, sometimes a little tasting note or some generic information on the winery—and more often than not the "contains sulfites" statement. Is this really enough or does the consumer want more information?

    The color is nearly opaque, tinted blue-purple around the edges. The nose shows tobacco leaf, black currant, and rich cherries. On the palate, raspberry is added to the fruits found on the nose. Coffee makes an appearance on the mid-palate, along with raspberry licorice. Tannins are round and lightly chewy.

    Quick! Name an Austrian wine. Did you say Grüner Veltliner? Take two points—and double that if you’ve drunk one in the last six weeks. Did you say Zweigelt? You just won a geek badge. Grüner is indeed the most widely grown grape variety in Austria, and there’s about as much

    2010 Netzl Zweigelt “Rubin Carnuntum” Carnuntum

    Wine Reviews
    1 min read
    This Zweigelt also hails from the Niederösterreich in the smaller district of Carnuntum. But the vineyard mesoclimate enjoys the tempering influences of Lake Neusiedl and the Danube, producing riper fruit that still retains good acidity. The wine was deep cherry red with extremely elegant aromatics, including a whiff of tropical
