Glenora Yellow Cab

This is 75% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Cabernet Franc. The winery describes it as, "warm, ripe fruit flavors and a great package!" I would call it, light, fruity, and an easy drinker. A perfect red for a warm summer afternoon. When I hear warm described with a wine, I think cozy, something that has enough body to go along with a nice comfort food like macaroni and cheese. While you could drink this with mac and cheese, it would be better suited to a balsamic salad. GOOD

Hazlitt Vineyards Pinot Noir

I found this gem on closeout. It was a 2002 and was bursting with fruit on the nose and in the mouth. Blueberry and currant were the most prevalent, and the wine was a deep dark ruby color. It was smooth as silk, well balanced, and completely settled down after a little time in the bottle. VERY GOOD
