Wine 59: Pinot Meunier

Back to a nice well developed red. Its not that I think light wines are bad, I would just rather drink a dry, complex red. Still working off of my backlog, though I do have a bunch of new wines to drink.

Domaine Chandon Carneros, 2008 Pinot Meunier
color: ruby red
aroma: cherry, light, oak
taste: There were light tannins with a touch of smoke, raspberry, and leather. The oak developed over time.
rating: very good

Wine 58: Stueben

Finished off this winery with another typical New York red wine, sweet and light.

The Winery at Marjim Manor, Stueben
color: bright apple red
aroma: strawberry, cherry, roses
taste: It was light and semi sweet. There was some raspberry and is best chilled.
rating: decent summer wine

Wine 57: Cherry

I really didn't mean to buy this. I wanted one bottle and decided to buy another to cut down on the shipping per bottle cost. I thought and to this day I swear that the site said it was cherry port, which might have been interesting.

The Winery at Marjim Manor, Cherry Serenade
color: dark rose
aroma: light bubblegum, why no cherry
taste: It was pretty sweet. Tasted like alcoholic red pop and is best served chilled.
rating: below average
