2010 Rabbit Ridge Allure de Robles - $6

Big bold blackcurrant flavor that's heavy on the oak with a funky fishy aftertaste.

2007 Cellier du Rhône Côtes du Rhône white - $5.99

This wine hits a bit sweet on the palette right after being opened, but by day two it's dried up a bit. Strange. Hints of spearmint on the nose. Some green apple flavor hiding here. A passable wine, but nothing mind blowing.

2007 Cellier du Rhône Côtes du Rhône rosé - $5.99

This rosé starts off smelling like wonder bread. Once in the mouth, it's got a punchy, acidic start - but not much real flavor. The finish, a bright spot with this wine, is quite long and full of strawberry flavors with just a hint of raspberry. Other small positives include the wine's dryness and great deep pink/copper color, but it's just not enough.

2007 Paul Jaboulet Aîné Parallèle 45 Côtes du Rhône - $9.99

Muddy copper color. Heavy on the fruit flavors without getting overly sweet. Flavors do get a bit muddled and unappealing, which detracts from what would otherwise be a decent rosé.

50% Grenache, 40% Cinsault, 10% Syrah
