14 Hands 2009 Merlot

Wow! It's all that really needs to be said about this wine. It is a tantalizing wine from 14 Hands. It has beautiful cherries and red berries on the nose with a beautiful touch of oak. It has a nice viscous mouth feel with a nice dryness. The flavor is bright and bursting with sour cherries. The back of your palate is enticed with a beautiful touch of oak, coffee, and chocolate that leaves you wanting more. This $13 wine is an incredible wine that everyone should go out and get. It is a perfect wine for a cold night with a great piece of red meat that has been braised. I give it a 10/13. It's a must try for everyone.

1st post ; HandCraft 2010 Cabernet Sauvignon


This wonderfully crafted wine is a treat for your palate. It is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon an Sangiovese grapes. It has a bright nose of cherry and earthiness. This wine has a sensational velvet texture in your mouth. The complex flavors are incredible. It has a beautiful cherry barrage up front with a lovely chocolate and mocha finish. It also has a cigar box or cedar flavor that is delightful. This wine to me is fall in a bottle and should be tried by all. This wine was a budget friendly $13.99.  I would give in a 9 out of 10 points.
9/13- It is a must have wine that you should not pass up.
 It was a wonderfully pleasant surprise for my first blog on the budget connoisseur.
