Tonight it’s a 2007 cabernet from California’s Lodi area. I paid $14, but I’ve seen it online for $9.99.
Wow, this wine is cool. It is different from the usual California stuff — instead of nameless dark red fruit and sweet oak, you get a modest bouquet of blackberry, black cherry and plum flavors, real, crisp tannins, and mild tobacco. And a POP! of minty licorice.
No, it doesn’t taste like a $50 wine, but Moon Eyes from Lapis Luna is some serious juice. It’s very rich and warm. And that mint makes it cool. Literally. You can even buy it on Amazon.com. At $9.99, it’s a HUGE deal.
Recommended.
