A-

Sebeka 2006 Cabernet Pinotage South Africa



It’s a nice blend – a very nice blend – from South Africa. It manages to hit all the right notes for me and perhaps you too. Try some today, as the price is certainly right. This is the 2nd wine from these guys I’ve given a good grade too. Maybe I’m slipping. This is one of those wines you wonder what might taste like in another year.

Zin-fat-u-a-tion 2005 Zinfandel Napa Valley California



I’d make fun of the name, (another crazy name from California) but it’s really pretty darn good. I’ll have to wait to sample “Bridgette Bardoux Boudreaux” from France. I’m telling you that name is too good to pass up. BTW, Zin-fat-u-a-tion is only available at World Market stores, according to the label.

Cline 2005 Ancient Vine Zinfandel Sonoma California



I don’t give a grade this good too often. It’s a pretty agreeable wine. And it ought to be good for the price.

Baron Philippe de Rothschild 2003 Cabernet Sauvigon



I liked it. Consider laying up a couple of bottles.
