Lyeth Estate: 2006 L de Lyeth Cabernet Sauvignon
The Colorado Wine News
The 2006 Cabernet Sauvignon, L de Lyeth, Sonoma County, $11, has appealing aromas of blackberry, black raspberry, cherry, chocolate, vanilla, and sweet smoke. Big, intense flavors of the same plus spice, fine, smooth tannin, and good acidity finish long and medium-broad. Well balanced, structured, and integrated. Good to Very Good. Buy it by the case for current drinking. BEST BUY.

Eat more bread...Hands down the best "authentic" old world Italian bread in New York and maybe the U.S. No fancy names or menus, just amazing, authentic bread made in a coal burning oven that is over 100 years old. It's a family run business with 3 generations involved. This place is the real deal - authentic bread - now that's style...

Calina Carmenere Reserva
Drink Wine...
2008 Calina Reserva Carménère - Maule Valley, Chile
"This wine is proof that good wine gets made in the vineyards. The color is dark and inky with deep purple hues. The aromas are intense with ripe berries, smoked bacon, sweet cotton candy, "grandma’s spice box" and hints of vanilla. The tannins are well-integrated, providing the underlying structure to support the wine’s opulent fruit. The finish is medium-long and elegant with spice and hints of oak." Winemaker, Gavin Taylor 2008 was an excellent year with mild autumn temperatures that allowed the grapes more hang time. Intense vineyard practices, including winter pruning, shoot suckering and fruit thinning, ensured that all vines were in perfect balance. Harvest was done entirely by hand based upon taste. After a three-day, cold soak the juice was fermented and then transferred to a combination of French and American oak barrels for 10 months.
Composition:
80% Carménère, 12% Merlot, 5% Syrah, 3% Cabernet Sauvignon
