Closson Chase Closson Chase Vineyard Pinot Noir 2017, VQA Prince Edward County
Ontario, Canada$34.95
Nice medium ruby colour. Spicy, full nose of fresh berries. Med bodied with quite bold flavours of strawberries followed by minerality and a light earthiness. Nicely balanced with fine tannins and good acidity in the County way. Maybe a touch short on the finish, but I suspect this will show more in a year or two.

Concha Y Toro Terrunyo Peumo Vineyard Block 27 Carmenère 2011, Entre Cordilleras, Peumo, Cachapoal Valley
Cachapoal Valley, Chile$29.95
With a few years in the cellar, this has turned in to compelling wine. Starting to amber a bit. Very full with ripe fruit, underpinned by wood and spice notes. Balanced and carries the high alcohol well. Certainly justifies the “entry premium” price.

Frescobaldi Tenuta Di Castiglioni 2016, Igt Toscana
Tuscany, Italy$18.95
Good deep colour just starting to fade at the rim. Spicy, minerally nose with the fruit quite ripe but starting to shift into the dried spectrum. Med-full bodied, round, spicy, juicy with the tannins still quite firm. Just starting to enter it’s drinking window I’d say and will clearly hold for several more years.
