PostHeaderIcon Newly added to my wine cellar.

I added some new wines to the cellar this month. I will be tasting them as they become ready.

Cabernet-Sauvignon Goundrey Offspring Western Australia 2004
Shiraz The Futures Peter Lehmann of the Barossa 2006
Cabernet-Sauvignon Sarnia Farm Limestone Coast 2005
Cephas Pyrénées Taltarni Victoria 2003
Peter Lehmann Mentor Barossa Valley 2004

PostHeaderIcon Ijalba Reserva Rioja 2005

I tried this wine paired with deer and shrimp raclette, I was very pleased with the taste although I served it slightly warmer than optimum.  The Ijalba is a dry garnet coloured wine with intense woody flavors, spicy and fruity scents with good tannins.  Overall a nice wine to have on hand, in fact I will be adding some to my cellar for tasting over the next few years.

Price : $20.50
