Thirty Bench Small Lot Riesling Wood Post Vineyard 2019, VQA Beamsville Bench
Ontario, Canada$29.75
Soléna Domaine Danielle Laurent Pinot Noir 2012, Yamhill Carlton, Willamette Valley
Oregon, Usa$28.75
Good colour, quite deep for PN. Fresh and appealing, with no heaviness in spite of the fairly high alcohol. A nice middle style, with lots of stuffing but balancing acidity to make it refreshing.
Socré Barbaresco 2011, Docg
Piedmont, Italy$24.25
This is fine nebbiolo for the price, with lots of depth and great earthy complexity while staying well clear of da funk. Fruit is in the dried, pruney end of the specturm as expected, with really lovely tannins on the finish. Drinking nicely now and fairly evovled. Will likely hold a few years but not a cellar-dweller. Going back for more!
Tawse Spark Limestone Ridge Organic Sparkling Riesling 2020, VQA Twenty Mile Bench
Ontario, Canada$20.95
Moillard Cuvée Prestige Rully 2015, Ac
Burgundy, France$28.95
Nice med red colour, quite deep for PN. Nose is a bit reserved, with hints of red berry fruit. Quite rich on the palate, solidly mid-weight with nice tart fruit notes (cranberry) and some spice for complexity. Good persistence. Enjoyable now but I suspect will reveal more in a couple of years. Good value in the world fo Burgundy but for a true PN drinker; not a party wine!
Luis Felipe Edwards L F E 900 Single Vineyard Blend 2012
Central Valley, Chile$24.75
Deep garnet colour. Quite full and expressive, with ripe fruit and the tannins well integrated. Good complexity and length and carries the 14.5% alcohol well. Unusual and engaging.
