Red Truck, Pino Noir

One of the first wines I started to drink regularly was Red Truck's red wine. I haven't had it in a while so I don't want to officially review it. I was under the impression that Red Truck's brand was relatively small. I'd seen their White Truck white wine and their Pink Truck's blush, and I thought that was the extent of their selection. I was wrong. This past weekend I found out that they have a huge selection of just about every kind of wine you can think of.

We tried Red Truck's pino noir and their syrah. I'm only going to review the pino noir since that's what we drank first. Although I remember the syrah was ok and I'd try it again.

It wasn't the best pino noir I've had but it definitely wasn't the worst. It had some fruity flavors and was fairly smooth. I'd drink this again as it was a good wine for the 10 dollars, and it's nice to mix up the selection. And for anyone out there collecting corks I've always enjoyed red truck's.

Cline 2007 Zinfandel

Two weeks ago we had some unseasonably mild weather for July. And the we went up to the Chicago area to see family it was a bit chillier and I was glad to have brought this bottle with me. I tend to like reds more in chilly weather although I can always drink a good red wine...pino noir, syrah, zin. I already knew Cline vineyards makes a decent zinfandel, but I haven't had it in about a year so this was a nice refresher.

It's a nice smooth zinfandel, with rich fruity flavors. It reminds me of fall and I want to nibble on cinnamon apples while sipping this wine. Or even while camping on a chilly evening while sitting around a camp fire. I would drink this again and again.
