Siena Vino Rosso

Name: Siema Vino Rosso

Variety: Dolcetto, Barbera, Nebbiolo
Country: Italy
Region: Piemonte
Price: $10
Wine Critic Review: "Intense ruby red with soft garnet nuances in the glass, the Rosso is intriguingly fresh, fruity and spicy on the nose. Perfectly round and balanced, the wine is particularly soft and dry. Pair with simple dishes like fresh cheese, ham, salami, or pizza for a divine culinary experience." -The Vintage Cellar
My review: The color of the wine was a light red shade.  On the nose, the smell was a little bit like dirty clothes and hints of spice.  The taste was not too intense.  I could detect cherries and the aftertaste was simple and dry.  I did not like this wine that much.

Name: Dom de la Foret Grenache Cinsault Rosé de Méditerranée

Variety: 50 % Grenache, 50 % Cinsault
Country: France
Region: Provence
Price: $13
Wine Critic Review: "A stony, pure style, with a warm paving stone note framing the dried cherry and rose water notes. The long, watermelon rind—inflected finish is finely tuned. Shows length and cut, staying lacy in feel. 50% Cinsault and 50% Grenache." -The Vintage Cellar
My review:    This white wine smelled especially sweet, almost like a perfume.  I could smell hints of alcohol on the nose as well. The taste was bitter with a strong bite aftertaste.  I did not like this wine that much.

Name: Bricco dei Tati Cortese 2013

Variety: Cortese
Year: 2013
Country: Italy
Region: Piemonte
Price: $10
Wine Critic Review: “Great Value! Treat this terrific little white like a red: Don’t chill it too much, then let it open for a half-hour to develop its enticing tropical fruit flavors. It’s dry, but the fruit gives an appealing illusion of sweetness. Great as an aperitif or with light seafood dishes.” -The Washington Post
My review:   This white wine smelled pretty sweet.  I could detect the smell of fresh mangos on the nose.  It had a bit of a pineapple taste with a slight sour aftertaste.  This was an okay wine.
