I was in no way compensated for this post.
Powered by Mom Blog shares her thoughts on the Snoqualmie Merlot Red Wine
Here's the red wine we tried this Easter weekend. As I've mentioned before I generally only have any type of alcohol on the weekend and we never ever drink and drive. Now that the disclaimers are done here's the scoop on what I thought of this wine. Remember these are just my opinions and I am not a wine connoisseur, I just like what I like and I prefer not to spend a fortune on it LOL.
I don't like any drinks that are overly strong, it's probably why I don't like stuff like whiskey and the hard liquor. I did like this Snoqualmie wine as it was light, subtle, not spicy like some of them can be. On their site they have a quote that has been described by Winemaker– Joy Andersen as “Rich black cherry fruit impressions on the nose with hints of spice and herbs are followed on the palate by juicy berry fruit and sweet oak flavors.”
I can definitely agree with the impression of rich black cherry, keeping in mid to me it was subtle as I mentioned it was light so a hint of spice sounds good to me. I didn't notice the sweet oak flavors but I probably don't know what I'm looking for :). It just a nice light wine that doesn't taste watered down so it suits me just fine. I know not very technical but that's me when it comes to wine. I liked having it after our steak dinner it was just perfect timing for the wine at that time.
If you're interested you can definitely get more information on their website but if you're looking for a nice, light red wine you might like this one. It was about $10 where I bought it so inexpensive which suits my budget just fine 🙂
Feel free to share what some of your favorite wines are below we'd love to read about them!
this sounds like a red wine I just might be able to handle drinking thank you for the review on it I must to and look for this and try it
Thanks for the information on Red Wine.
I've had such a difficult time finding a red wine that doesn't make me shiver. I like that this one is light and fruity. Would love to give it a try.
Please do more wine reviews! Merlot is my favortie varietal. I just really hate buying a bottle and not knowing if I will like it, which means I tend to buy the same thing over and over. Reviews like yours really help me branch out!
Thanks for the review on the red wine. It sounds like one I'd like to try, especially since it is so affordable.
It sounds like a nice flavored wine and I love the price.
My husband and I love wine and we have built our whole kitchen around it. I've never tried this brand, but I will look for it next time we purchase a Merlot.
I would love to try!! I am a wine taster . This one sounds very good!!
I hardly ever drink wine. I guess I haven't found the right one for me. I've never heard of this wine before. I'll have to see if it sold in my area. I'm loving the price
I find there is nothing like a good glass of wine to just put a person at ease with themselves from the day.. and this wine sounds tasty , 🙂 thanks for share @tisonlyme143
I have never heard of this one either.I too..like Lisa discovered a chocolate one not long ago at the meat market we shop at and it DOES taste like a Mud Slide.This one sounds good too.I will have to look for it this weekend!
I am much like you in that I do not like strong drinks therefore do not like whiskey. There are so many wine types and flavors that I generally stick with one I no I like. I will have to try this since you said it isn't strong and it's subtle.
Nice red wine do not drink but it looks goog
I would love to try!! I am a wine taster 😉
Sounds really good I might have to try this. I usually drink white wines when I do have it. Thanks.
I hardly ever drink, but when I do, I like wine. This one sounds very good.
I don't like red wines. I like sweet white wines like Moscatos.
I like Moscatos too Shannon but red ones 🙂 yes there are some nice red ones and Moscato rosees
I usually pick white wines but this one sounds wonderful with the cherry flavor. You made me want a glass of it. Thanks for the great review. Will keep my eye out for this one.
I like sweet red wines, there is this cranberry wine I get from a winery hours away from our house, we only buy it when we visit family who live close to the winery, it is my favorite wine, its a cranberry red wine.
I'm going to have to look for this in the wine section and try it out b/c like you...I like what i like but don't want to spend a lot for it..yes! thanks for the review.
I know nothing about wine. So far I've only found one that I really like. It's chocolate. It tastes like a mud slide.
I HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ONE--BUT I HAVE BEEN OUT OF THE LIQUOR WHOLSALE BUSINESS SINCE 1984...I LIIKE RED WINE SOMETIMES..THANKS FOR SHARING THIS..
I am not a wine drinker at all but my nephews girlfriend loves a nice glass of wine after she returns home from work. Going to ask her if she'd be interested in this and let her read your review
