Wine: Warburn Premium Reserve Barossa
Type: Cabernet Merlot
Year: 2008
Price: $8.50
Date: 24/06/2009
Reason for purchase: Another of the batch from May.
Review: This has some nice fruity flavours that come through at the start of each mouthful. However there is a bit of a heavy aftertaste that isn't particularly welcome.
There is a bit of balance between the softer Merlot parts and the heavier Cabernet parts, making this an alright drink.
The whole point of this under $10 challenge is to find out which wines are worth persevering with, and those that are just plain vinegar. This one is closer to the vinegar mark, and given it's getting closer to the $10 mark than some of the others, not highly recommended.

Aspen Estate Merlot 2008
Wine: Aspen Estate
Type: Merlot
Year: 2008
Price: $5.70
Date: 9/05/2009
Reason for purchase: I was poor
Review: Nice mellow wine, as you would expect from Merlot. Easy starter with no real explosion of flavour and quickly fizzles out.
Nice easy drinker, but lacks any great flavour.
Perhaps keep a bottle handy in the pantry for when the non-wine drinkers arrive. It's subtle taste shouldn't offend their lack of vino taste buds.
