After several years we have broken one of our basic rules. This week we won't be reviewing a $10 wine, but in fact two $15 wines. Why? In my neck of the woods it's hard to get $10 Kosher wines. We thought of reviewing a Chilean offering but it would have been the third time around. Here we examine a South African [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/louboutin.php]louboutin pas cher[/url] Merlot from a winery that dates back to the Seventeenth Century whose grapes come from the south-eastern slopes [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/woolrich.php]woolrich bologna[/url] of the Paarl mountain. The Paarl wine district is located about 40 miles (60 kilometers) north east of Capetown. The climate is warm with a Mediterranean influence. The Kleine Draken Winery makes South Africa's first Kosher sparkling wine. They offer tours and tastings from Monday to Thursday and on Friday until early afternoon. The companion wine is a Kosher Spanish blend at virtually the same price.
OUR WINE REVIEW POLICY All wines that we taste and review are purchased at the full retail price. Wine Reviewed
Kleine Draken Merlot W. O. Paarl 2011 13.5 % alcohol about $15.
In the [url=http://www.vivid-host.com/barbour.htm]barbour uk[/url] absence of marketing materials we'll start by quoting the back label. "A fruity lightly wooded wine made in an [url=http://www.davidhabchy.com]barbour sale[/url] easy drinking style. This wine is soft on the palate with a long finish. Will complement meat dishes or enjoy on its own." And now for my review.
At the first sips this wine was sweet and plummy with low acidity and low tannins. Wasabi-less Japanese rice crackers rendered the liquid a bit stronger. A boxed Baked Ziti Siciliano liberally doused with Parmesan [url=http://www.achbanker.com/home.php]hollister france[/url] Cheese rendered the kid from Paarl quite sweet but there wasn't much tannins or acidity.
My next meal centered on homemade meatballs. Now the libation was refreshingly acidic, and did a fine job of cutting the grease. I noted light tannins and plums. The side dish of okra in stewed tomatoes, onion, and garlic mellowed the wine and I noted a little metal. Home-baked carob and sesame seed cookies sharpened my glass's acidity.
My final meal was quite a potpourri, Smoked turkey wings (you won't see them reviewed here in the future) were so, so salty. In response the wine's plums tried to fight back and did manage to offer some pleasant acidity. Then came barbecued chicken wings. Now [url=http://www.ilyav.com/uggpascher.php]ugg pas cher[/url] the plums were able to express themselves and the [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/peuterey.php]peuterey outlet[/url] wine's acidity handled that yummy grease well. When [url=http://www.1855sacramento.com/peuterey.php]peuterey[/url] paired with a potato salad that contained pickles the drink was forceful and mouth-cleansing offering the taste of metal. Red cabbage salad made the libation taste of pleasantly burnt dark cherries. The meal's final component was a tomato, cucumber, radish, and cilantro salad. Now our South African friend was dark and mellow, offering light tannins and [url=http://www.thehygienerevolution.com/barbour.php]barbour paris[/url] acidity.
Final verdict. I liked this wine and may well buy it [url=http://www.rtnagel.com/airjordan.php]jordan pas cher[/url] again. Of [url=http://www.sandvikfw.net/shopuk.php]hollister outlet sale[/url] course, I wish that it had showed up in my $10 column.
