In our tasting today you will notice that Michael David is featured. He is responsible for a bunch of wines that are popular around this time of year with Halloween approaching. The "Incognito" label also includes a red and 6th sense Syrah has a counterpart called 7 Deadly Zins, also on our shelf. Michael David isn't the only one with wines appropriately named for this season. We got our Bogle "Phantom" in earlier this month, it is a special release this time of the year and always popular in the fall season.
The Bean Pinotage 2010 $9.99
Dark purple colour with the nose that shows mocha and roasted coffee bean flavours. The noticeable tannins are fine, silky and very well integrated with oak. On the palate it is mouth filling with a long and concentrated feeling.
Incognito White 2009 $18.99
Ripe and crammed with fruit this wine has aromatics of honey, citrus, apricots, and summer melons. This full bodied wine is pure and unoaked, leaving only the expressions of the blended varietals showing. Best of Class - 2011 California State Fair
Michael David Petite Petit 2009 $18.99
Like elephants whose size is imposing, Petite Petit is large! A blend of 85% Petite Sirah and 15% Petit Verdot. Offering a joyous explosion of color and fun, it is a substantial, dense, full-bodied, whopper style of wine loaded with pure black fruit and vanilla flavors that coat the palate. It reveals remarkable richness with a finish that is slightly dry and seems to linger.
Michael David 6th Sense Syrah 2009 $18.99
A dark ruby colored Syrah that opens with a very fragrant peppermint bouquet with hints of black cherry, blueberry, and red currant. On the palate, this wine is balanced, mouthwatering, and very juicy. The flavor profile is a ripe red cherry with mixed in notes of vanilla. There were also hints of red currant jam and black pepper.
