Cheapo Wino Review Wednesday…on Thursday

C’mon, did you really think I’d spend New Years Eve sipping a cheap wine, or better yet, have the sobriety to write a review about it? If you answered “yes”, then you’re an optimistic fool that has a high (and totally unfounded) opinion of me. And I like you. You make me want to be a better person.

Moving on.

Today’s cheap ass wine is….

 gouguenheim

 
Gouguenheim,Valle Escondido , Cabernet Sauvignon, 2012 – $8.95

Wine Makers Notes – Deep ruby color with purple hints. Classic Cabernet Sauvignon with aromas of black fruits, spices and a hint of vanilla scented oak. A range of layered flavors including chocolate and spice, leading into a long finish.

 

Kim’s Notes – “Smooth and Plump” – not unlike my legs when they come out of winter hibernation and are given their first shave of the season.

I was truly surprised at just how smooth this wine was, given its cheapo price-o tag-o.  However, you know I love me some deep oak flavor, and well, I can safely say “No oak trees were harmed in the making of this wine.” When the wine maker’s notes said “hint of vanilla scented oak” he wasn’t kidding! But that’s ok because this wine had such a nice finish, no tartness or shitty tang (I HATE tang), that I truly enjoyed sipping it while watching House Hunters International and daydreaming about moving to Dubai.

Gougenheim’s mellow nature and rounded mouth feel remind me of a nice Pinot Noir. But then again, what do I really know about wine?

Cheapo Wino Wednesday! A Spanish Red Blend

I’m back, baby! No, my bronchitis isn’t totally gone, but I think I’m at the point where you can trust my palate again…well, in a general ballpark kinda way. So let’s get to it!

 
P.S.- I’m a sucker for a cute label.

2011 Mad Dogs and Englishmen– $12.99

A red blend: 60% Carignan 20% Shiraz 20% Tempranillo 100% YUM

 

Wine Maker’s Notes: Crimson in color, the bright raspberry nose offers hints of clove and pepper. Rich flavors of ripe black fruits are followed by notes of vanilla and cinnamon leading to a long, smooth finish.

Is that description a little BLAH or what? I like this guy’s better:

Dave at www.cheapwinefinder.com: The color is a dark, intense, but see-thru crimson red. The nose is muted, some raspberry, a slight whiff of barnyard, a touch of brewing tea, a little oak spice. This is a full bodied, dark and very dry wine. It tastes of blackberry, dried strawberry, herbal tea, a dry sensation from the oak (not too much, but it is there), dark bitter chocolate. The mid palate brings a little jammy raspberry, vanilla and cedar plank. The tannins are stiff, but subded and the acidity is balanced. The finish is full and long.

Back up a second…did Dave just say “a slight whiff of barnyard”? Barnyard? Is that even a descripty thing? Well, shit, if Dave can do it…

Kim’s Notes: The color is a nice iron-rich shade of blood, bordering just on the edge of coagulation. When inhaling, I found my nose to need blowing. Once it was clear, I detected a hint of spicy Elmer’s glue, a shitload of rasp/straw/blue/cran/berry, spackled drywall, and an earthiness found only in the eastern region of my basement. The mid palate, like my front and back palate, tasted the wine too. This is a complex wine which will mellow considerably after breathing and receiving 7-10 therapy sessions. I really enjoyed this wine and recommend drinking it now because waiting is stupid.

 

Cheapo Wino Wednesday Review! A Spanish Blend

Ludovicus Terra Alta 2011 – $12.99

 

Winemaker’s Notes: Ludovicus is a wine that appeals to both new world and old world palates. People who like Cab, Syrah, Malbec and Zinfandel love Ludovicus. Produced from dray-farmed grapes that are organically grown. The vineyards are located a few miles south and west of Priorat, within the Terra Alta DO (Zone 5) in Catalunya’s Tarragona province in northeastern Spain. In this remote region, the winemaking tradition dates back to the Romans, around the 2nd or 3rd Century. Aromas of blackberry, blueberry, smoky minerals and white pepper, plus a suggestion of dried rose. Silky on entry, then firmer in the middle, with flavors of red and black fruits and floral pastille. The floral quality repeats on the lively, subtly powerful finish.

 

Kim’s Notes:  “Ludovicus? More like Lu-delicious!”

 

So after loving last week’s wine, which I only selected because of this sign:

…I decided to take another trip down the exotic Spanish aisle.  And guess what I found?

The same damn sign! They just moved it from one Spanish wine to another- Son of a Bitch!

I said to myself, “Candy Ass (positive self-talk) can this be trusted?  Could there really be two killer Spanish wines, both with flavor out the wazoo?”  Then I answered myself by saying, “Think of it this way, Candy Ass (positive self-talk), they were right before. For only $12.99, you should probably try it. And P.S. Your hair smells great today.”

Can I just tell you, I’m super duper glad I gave it a shot- yummity yum yum yuuum!  Oaky, smooth, a bit of spice – my wazoo was thanking me all evening.  Honestly though, I didn’t expect a lot from this red blend mutt, what with 40% Garnacha, 20% Syrah, 15% Carinena, 15% Tempranillo, 10% Merlot, 5% Golden Retriever, and 2% Perspiration, I thought it’d be a hot mess. Not so.  

This wine pairs beautifully with an empty stomach, many food products, and all the moments leading up to bedtime. Go to your local Spanish wine aisle and buy this goodness today!

Cheapo Wino Review Wednesday! A Tempranillo! …a what?

 Vina Zaco 2010 Tempranillo from Rioja, Spain – $14.99

Wine Maker’s Notes: Intense,  bright cherry with violet hues. Initial dominant notes of black fruits, violets and liquorice followed by the underlying spicy notes of barrel aging — vanilla and clove. Medium–bodied with a long, fresh finish.

 Kim’s Notes:  “It’s like Cabernet’s exotic cousin!”

I found myself wandering down the “What the hell kind of grape is that aisle?” (because I’m trying really hard to branch out) and saw this sophisticated beauty.  Once I read the description, which included words like “oak”, “vanilla”, and “spicy”, IT WAS ON!  Oh, and this wine has critical acclaim…That’s right, CRITICAL ACCLAIM, BITCHES!

Critical Acclaim: “This red shows focus and good density, with ripe fruit flavors of black cherry and plum accented with toast and coffee, all supported by well-integrated tannins. Leafy and minerally accents linger on the finish.”  – 90 Points Wine Spectator

Wine Freaking Spectator! Not Wine Enthusiast (which I’m guessing is just a group of people who are really excited about wine), Wine Spectator!

But if I’m being honest with you, the Wine Spectator sign wasn’t the first thing I saw.  I actually picked up the wine because of this sign:

 That kind of marketing really speaks to me.

Flavor out the wazoo?!  Sign me up! Lord knows there’s nothing I love better than an intense wine coming out of my wazoo!

And it did, kids…it did. YUM.
