vampire cabernet 2005

i could not resist the purchase. vampire wine for halloween - perfect! the label that is... of course it is blood red, with smells of berry and spice. this light bodied wine is anything but a great bottle of wine. however, it is sufficient to get you through a night of trick or treaters at the door.

another tasty spanish red $8.99

easy fruity red. great for the end of work days on a crisp fall evening. smells of cinnamon and berry. very fruity upfront with a nice tangy tannin to finish. light bodied and delicate. would hold well with bbq. another great bargain red. (wishing i had grabbed a few more bottles)

new tasty $6 red - protocolo tinto 2004

protocolo tinto (spain) 2004
$5.99 - central market

tasty tempranillo, medium bodied, light on the nose, short finish but a good balance. tastes of dark cherry and spice. goes great alone, but could hold up to some fall comfort food. my new favorite value priced red.
