Ridge Three Valleys 2009, Sonoma County
California, Usa$35.95
Cherry taste, leading into moderate spice, but not as much as I expected given the grapes involved. You think it is done, then the long finish kicks in. I was not impressed at first, but each sip brings out a little more complexity. Not really worth thirty five dollars.

Tilenus Envejecido En Roble 2007, Do Bierzo
Galicia, Spain$17.95
This reminds me of Pinot Noir, with a light taste and layers of flavor. Great value for the money, but it does not reach 91. I want to buy another bottle to be sure, before I buy a case. But then it will be too late.

Belje Grasevina 2009, Suho Vrhunsko
Croatia$16.95
I suppose there is a mineral taste to this wine, but not in a good way. Other than that, I do not relate to the other reviews at all. I view this as no more than cooking wine. Give this one a miss.

I don't get it. It tastes like cheap wine to me. Not worth the price.

Terre Del Barolo Barbaresco 2006, Docg
Piedmont, Italy$24.95
I agree with the reviews, but it has enough complexity and finish to rate a little higher.

Marqués De Cáceres Tinto Reserva 2005, Doca Rioja
Rioja, Spain$24.95
Another day, another great Rioja. It is nice that they are released when they are ready, instead of being told that they might be good in a few years. I will buy more of this.

Montecillo Reserva 2006, Rioja
Spain$17.95
A very pleasant, smooth Rioja. Good length and reasonable complexity. At this price I will be buying more of it. Thanks for the tip, Steve.

Norman Hardie County Cabernet Franc 2012, VQA Prince Edward County
Ontario, Canada$25.00
It starts with a distinctive prune flavour, with that unique Norman Hardie terroir taste in the background. It develops into a wonderful, complex symphony by the third glass. I recommend this more for when you have time to really appreciate it rather than as a casual sipping wine.
