Among the countless wines on the rack for sale at Harvest Moon, the cafe pours nine of those represented by Wine Trends. Tonight, I tasted each of the four red wines:
Mark West, Pinot Noir
California
A basic, red table wine, this Pinot Noir is simple and will go well with any food you might order at the cafe. It is a top-seller here as well for those who want to take a bottle home.
Montes, Malbec
Chile
This wine has a beautiful, rich color. It begins as a mouthful of berries and ends with a dry finish. Interestingly to note, Chilean wines are an up and coming surprise. Most Malbecs are made in Argentina, but Chile shares the Andes mountains that receive fresh air, crisp water, and fertile soil - resulting in a real treat. Goes well with meat. Try something new tonight!
Guenoc, Cabernet Sauvignon
California
My favorite taste of the evening, this Cabernet Sauvignon went down sweet and easily. It had a distinct, fruity scent, and caused my tongue to tingle with delight! Perfect with chocolate and meats.
Four Vines, Zinfandel
California
Wow! This red Zinfandel made me pucker for sure! As our bartender put it, the best and perhaps only word to describe it is "spicy". I couldn't agree more. If you're ready for an adventure, test it with chocolate and pretty much any food!
