Hidden Bench Estate Organic Pinot Noir 2021, VQA Beamsville Bench, Niagara Escarpment
Ontario, Canada$37.95
Matetic Corralillo Syrah 2016, Do San Antonio Valley
San Antonio Valley, Chile$21.95
This needed some time to open up, but quite impressive when it did. First notes where something like a field of wildflowers with lots of rich berry fruit. With time, very nice pepper and herb notes emerged, and it began to track much more like a syrah.
Auntsfield Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012, Southern Valleys, Marlborough, South Island
Marlborough, New Zealand$29.95
A perfectly typed and quite delicious PN. Drinking beautifully now, but lots of time yet.
Vineland Estates Elevation St. Urban Vineyard Riesling 2012, VQA Niagara Escarpment
Ontario, Canada$0.00
Ruffino Modus 2007, Igt Toscana
Tuscany, Italy$29.95
On the last bottle of four (sigh), this one finally started working for me, revealing its Tuscan origins, with decent complexity. Fruit has faded to reveal earthy notes, and flavours linger. Clearly should have cellared it for longer.
Ken Forrester Reserve Chenin Blanc 2012, Wo
Stellenbosch, South Africa$19.85
Great value. Nice distinctive white with character.
