For our very first "Fermented Femmes" wine club, we decided to start with Cabernet, since most of us are red wine fans. (Cabernet happens to be my particular favorite). We had five wines, six women, no leftovers (not wine anyway). The food was plentiful -- everyone brought different dishes -- and the wines were all quite good. They were (with my notes):
- Climbing, 2005, Australia. - Good, long finish, full bodied, big fruit. 3 stars
- Los Vascos, 2007, Chile - Less complex, short finish, dry, tannic. 1 star
- Coppola Diamond Collection, 2006, CA - smooth, fruity, can never go wrong with this. 4 stars.
- Peter Lehmann, 2001, Chile - Very complex, great, extremely fruity, strong nose. 3.5 stars
- Clos du Val, 2006, Napa CA - Smooth, rich, full bodied, long finish, slightly bitter. 4 stars.

Great blog, Ann. I've had the Coppola and enjoyed it. It was one of those "hmmm, this one looks good" impulse purchases that paid off.
