Steltzner Sauvignon Blanc 2005 ($$) - is described by the experts as "Intense and lovely, with distinctive earthy, herb, lemongrass, and quince flavors". Truth is, it's horrible. There is an overpowering alcohol content, and an awfully flattened taste. In the immortal words of Sir Robin, "Run away! Run away!!".
In order to wash the tastebuds of the previous mistake, a bottle of Cenit was opened. Cenit 2003 ($$$) leaves you with tastes of dark red fruits and sweet spices, with a lingering hint of licorice. The grapes, Tempranillo, are grown under harsh conditions in the Zamora region of Spain. It is found in the States as one of the Jorge Ordonez Selections, which are almost always a sure fire hit. Wine Spectator gives this wine a 91.
Translation? This wine is best had during a rooftop candlelit dinner. Never share this wine! Keep it to yourselves, you greedy bastards!!
