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.

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.

Small Gully Mr. Black's Little Book Shiraz 2010, Barossa Valley
South Australia, Australia$18.95
I don't think you can appreciate this wine from one taste right out the bottle. Some time in the carafe removed all trace of the few rough edges. This is extremely rich and smooth, with great finish. I tried one, bought a case, had another, then bought two more cases. It is that good.

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.

Piedmont, Italy$24.95
I agree with the reviews, but it has enough complexity and finish to rate a little higher.

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.

Ringbolt Cabernet Sauvignon 2013, Margaret River
Western Australia, Australia$21.95
With lots of fruit, including cherry, there is also good complexity. I get a little pepper on the finish. There is nothing in it to complain about. Excellent value.
