Copper Moon, Moonlight Harvest: Week #5

Coming off two weeks and three bottles of disappointing wine, I am feeling defeated.  So, this week's selection is a wine I have tried and drank before (and liked).  I feel it is more than fair to review wines I have already tasted as long as they have yet to appear on this blog.  Plus, isn't the label nice?  (And, there isn't even an animal on it!!)  Hopefully I still like it, because I am really looking forward to drinking (and enjoying) a whole bottle of wine.  Well, okay, I might share it with the husband.  Actually, after losing my wedding rings today, I may have the bottle to myself - seriously, why do random things always happen to me?

Copper Moon: Moonlight Harvest (Canada, ???)



Note to self: Take pictures of the bottles before they emptied.  It looks better, and makes me look like less of a lush.  Also, why do the wines from Canada seem to lack dates?  I'm guessing that means they are 2010 wines?  Or what? 

A word from the wine:
"Harvested under the light on the moon, this unique wine delivers the unexpected- a cool fresh taste that captures the mystery of the night itself"
A tall, dark, and handsome stranger!

Now this is what I'm talking about.  It isn't the same richness as Black Swan, but it similar in quality to the Little Penguin - it has that nice zippy aftertaste and that feeling of warmth spreading through your body as you swallow.  I also like that I felt tipsy after only one glass (and that was with supper!) - so I know it is an all-around-feel-good wine.  Bonus:  It was 10.99!!  Seriously cheap and yummy.

    I enjoy that you posted this at 8:47pm on Saturday night, and the bottle is already depleted. Perhaps any leftovers of the previous wines would taste better now that you are well warmed up? :) xoxox Sara

    Too bad you are stuck on shiraz. I had a nice little merlot last night -- Falling Leaf. I only bought it for the fall leaves on the bottle, but it was quite good. According to the bottle, a "mouthful." Hmmm.

    You totally deserved that whole bottle after the day you had. I think I've had this one before too but don't remember the taste, only the cool label ;) I'm all for playing along with you this week!! I'll be waiting for the decision....

    I really enjoy the blog and since I cannot give any input right now my mother has suggested you try: Fuzion and Las Moras both Argentinian.

    got a bottle of this for Christmas. Had a sorta crumby day...had a glass with great bbq burgers and can't seem to stop. This could be the Tim Hortons coffee of shiraz's for me. Nice smooth flavors. why is my bottle green when I see the picture of your empty is clear???

    I love this wine. It is very cheap and I love the fruity after taste.
