Each issue, we taste lots
of wines in our search for bang for the
buck - appealing flavor and structure for
fifteen bucks or less.
It's not always easy.
But as we were contemplating wines for
this issue, we realized that one winery
has been popping up in this column on a
regular basis - Cellar No. 8. More often
than not, we have found these wines to be
easy-drinking, everyday-enjoyable wines.
We're not saying that they're the most complex,
high falutin' wines out there. But at just
$10 each, they're always worth a try! Here
are three we've enjoyed lately:
($10). Moderate
red cherry and plum flavors are accented
with generous vanilla, coffee and warm spices.
Nothing complex, but easy to pair with casual
meals. Ready to drink now.
($10).
Easy to like, with ripe red cherry and plum
fruit accented with sweet vanilla, black
pepper, toasty oak and a touch of chocolate.
Ready to drink now.
($10). Jammy
black cherry, blackberry nutmeg and clove
linger through the juicy finish. Ready to
drink now.
This now-fabulously-named column used to
be called Easy To Find One Figure Wines,
for reasons that we cannot currently remember
but were surely enthusiastic about at the
time. Anyhoo, check out our Past
Issue Index for more great value-priced
wine selections!
