Psydr Short & To-The-Point Wine Reviews
Below are reviews of fun little finds purchased locally. The typical cost per bottle is $10 or less, and the label probably has a little more pizazz than your traditional Barolo. But don't judge the bottle by the label. These reviews are personal and certainly non-professional evaluations of wines we've tried. Enjoy!

Excellent! This is a great Pinot Noir at a great price. A hint of cherry. No bitter. Not too sweet. It's perfect. Honestly, I can not believe this is a $7 bottle of wine. Hats off to Mirassou. You are sure to see more of their wines reviewed here very shortly... -

5 OUT OF 5 STARS
So, a friend of mine brought this bottle over last night to a little dinner we hosted. It hadn't struck me I'd already reviewed the bottle a couple months ago until the silky liquid hit my tongue. I thought, "this is an excellent, excellent Pinot." I checked the Psydr Wine List and sure enough, there it was. I'd already given it a 5 STAR rating.
Well, just to solidify the rating I thought I'd rant a little about it once more. My buddy said he picked up the bottle on sale for $8, but I remember paying only $7. Either way, it's a great value. Shoot. It'd be a great value at twice the price in my humble opinion.

Dark and delicious. This is a very nice Cabernet. It goes down smooth and has a nice finish. Then just a hint of tannins take over. Therefore the aftertaste is the only thing non-5 STAR I could find. There's something else in the aftertaste I can't quite define. It's not bad. But it's not terribly good either. This flavor doesn't detract from the wine though, so don't hesitate to snatch up a bottle or two. If you're a Cabernet Sauvignon fan, I DO believe you're going to enjoy this beverage.
I absolutely love Mirassou's Pinot Noir. It's one of my personal favorites, so be sure to give it a try as well... if you're in the market for a Pinot that is...
