19 Crimes Cabernet Sauvignon

 19 Crimes Cabernet Sauvignon


This is a 2020 Cabernet Sauvignon made by 19 Crimes from Victoria, Australia. This bottle cost me $9.

This Cabernet was quite good. The smell had strong notes of raspberry and smaller notes of chocolate and vanilla. The taste was more on the dry side and had a good amount of acidity to it. It had again, notes of raspberry and other dark fruits and hints of vanilla and chocolate with a nice sweet aftertaste. I tried this wine with a parmesan cheddar and it paired very nicely with it, toning its acidity down while pulling the fruitiness of the wine out more and not overpowering the cheese.

Cardwell Hill Estate Pinot Gris

  Cardwell Hill Estate Pinot Gris This 2019 Pinot Gris is from Willamette Valley, Oregon, and costs about $20. My review: Citrusy and sweet with a good amount of acidity. Light bodied. Nice aftertaste of citrus with a little acidity and some tannic elements. I enjoyed this wine and thought it had just the right amount of citrus and acidity but perhaps a little too sweet for my liking.

Chocolate (The Chocolate Lover's Wine)

  Chocolate (Chocolate Lover's Wine) The Chocolate Shop wine is a Merlot from Washington that costs around $10-$20. This wine, however, does not have a vintage year labeled on it or anywhere online. At first, I thought this wine would be offputtingly sweet due to its name. Although it was sweet, it was just the right amount of sweet for a nice dessert wine. The smell of the wine was amazing with notes of dark cherries and chocolate that made it smell identical to that of a tootsie pop. The wine tasted sweet, floral, with a little bit of spice while having notes of cherry and chocolate just like the scent. I tried it with a piece of chocolate that happened to have bits of ginger in it and it paired really well bringing out the spice in both the ginger and the wine while still tasting really sweet and really good.
