Fetzer Cabernet Sauvignon

I quite enjoyed this red wine, which is pretty rare considering I don't usually like reds. The label says it's flavor is that of black cherries with a hint of chocolate and an aroma of vanilla; three of my favorite things! Another Fetzer is approved in my book and I give this wine a 7 out of 10! I could definitely enjoy a couple glasses of this in an evening!

Blackstone Pinot Noir

This was not one of my favorite reds. I could drink it, but wouldn't have been able to drink more than a glass per evening. To me it was just a bit too dry and not quite sweet enough. It also gave me a bit of a burning sensation on my tongue when properly tested. Other winos may like it though! Overall it got a 5 out of 10.

Fetzer Gewurztraminer

This is one of my new favorites. According to the label it's honeyed apricot and peach flavored with aromas of rose petals and honeysuckle. I found it just under the sweetness of a Moscato, but sweeter than a Riesling. With a price of around $10 and a company that uses 100% green energy to produce their products it's definitely worth trying; especially for the sweeter wine lovers looking to expand their horizons! I'd give it an 8.5 on my 10 point scale!
