Edgewood Tahoe (private Label Wines)
Trader Joe's
Reserve Lot #126 Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Trader Joe's has some excellent private-label wines, like this one. Nicely layered. Fairly strong tannins, but good with or without food. I'd definitely buy this under-$10 wine again. — 10 years ago
Javier Zaccagnini
Sei Soio Tinto Fino Tempranillo 2012
The Sei Solo wines by Javier Zaccagnini-the founder of Aalto comes with the 2011 version for the first time on the market. Javier begins with this new project in 2007. The Sei Solo only wines with grapes from Tinto Fino (Tempranillo) with vines which between 60 and 90 years old. The old vineyard, just ' tino fino ' is located in the small village of La Horra, heart of the famous Ribera del Duero region. La Horra is known for its wealth of unique ancient vineyards, also bv. Pingus, the exclusive cult wine by Peter Sisseck comes to it. Javier makes there already for some years, but they only wanted to release top wine under its private label ' Sei Solo ' once the wines meet its high demands. The past few years, the little fruit sold to Aalto and was integral in the topcuvée ' PS ', as Javier was still not satisfied. The time has finally come! 2011 is the first official release of Sei Solo with a ' second wine ' called Preludio. Javier Zaccagnini is next to a large wine lover also hooked on classical music. His absolute favorite is Johan Sebastian Bach. As a tribute, he gives this exclusive wine the name ' Solo Sei ', to the exceptional work of J.S. Bach. SEI Solo is a set of six fiddle work. It consists of three sonatas and three Partitas. The label of Sei Solo is in the handwriting of his master j. S Bach. By Sei Solo were there in 2011, only 1000 bottles made of the Preludio 4000 bottles. — 11 years ago
Robert Mondavi Winery
Private Selection Central Coast Chardonnay 2013
The label says ; nectarine, peach, vanilla and brown sugar, I wouldn't usually go for a peach flavoured wine but I love vanilla so gave it a whirl 😉 . I am the first to admit I don't know my arse from my elbow when it comes to flavours in wine, but I do know my preference is medium to full bodied wines with oak flavours and I can taste a hint of heaviness in this wine, so I'll prob buy it again. If you like light'ish wines to have with pasta or chicken, this will hit the spot 👍 — 10 years ago

Without know what was I would have called it a riper, say '03 Viña Tondonia, all dilly, coconut, but there is a riper mid-palate intensity to this, 13% on the label, it's a shame that Napa doesn't make wines like this anymore. — 9 years ago
