shoshkosherwine's Review: Yum. Yum. Why does he champagne style I prefer. Full-bodied, yeasty and toasty and screaming of baked lemon goods. I much prefer this to the lighter, more floral Champagnes out there.

shoshkosherwine's Review: It is expensive, but it is breathtaking. I am not a huge fan of this winery, but this wine really blew me away. Lots of ripe fruit, chocolate notes, and smooth velvety tannins that glide across the tongue. The finish is pure bliss. This wine was a hit at my Seder table!

shoshkosherwine's Review: Touch of pepper and cloves, lightly floral with medium potency. Light bodied and delicate on the palate with subtle flavorings. Lingering finish. I expected a little more from this bottle. It did not pack the punch of many other Alsatian Gewurzs.

Noah Tevel Cabernet-Merlot 2005

Vintage: 2005
Varietal: Cabernet Sauvignon; Merlot
Winery: Noah Vineyards
SnoothRank: 3/5

shoshkosherwine's Rating: 3/5
shoshkosherwine's Review: The nose on this wine is the most interesting component. I smelled a hint of grassy peatiness rounded out by rich boysenberry. The flavors on the palate were not unique, and I thought the finish awkward. Overall, not a very impressive wine.
