Angulo Innocenti Malbec 2010, La Consulta, Mendoza
Mendoza, Argentina$18.95
David describes it well. Nice deep taste, but I did not think it was smooth enough to rate a ninety. Decent value, though.

Godelia Red 2009
Galicia, Spain$20.95
I agree with John. It starts nice and smooth, and grows over time to develop a complex finish. Another great value from Spain!

Maison Roche De Bellene Montagny 1er Cru 2011, Ac
Burgundy, France$26.95
The main thing I taste is the oak. It did grow on me a bit, and is quite smooth, but not nearly worth the price.

Château Bégadanet 2005, Ac Médoc
Bordeaux, France$17.95
Although I thought the bouquet was a little off, the taste is classic, smooth Bordeaux. Great value. I bought more.

Lungarotti Rubesco 2010, Doc Rosso Di Torgiano
Umbria, Italy$17.95
Lots of pepper, almost like a Zinfandel. This is a very good quality wine, worth buying again.

Paul Mas Nicole Vineyard Viognier 2012, Pays D'oc Igp
Languedoc, France$17.95
A very nice, subtle version of Viognier, from an easy start to the decent long finish. I give it a 90 because is just so pleasant to drink.

Tenuta Stefano Farina Le Brume Langhe 2009, Doc
Piedmont, Italy$16.95
There is so much complexity here. It starts with a slightly smokey taste, fades a bit in the middle, then has an amazing cherry finish that kicks in and stays. While it is not quite as smooth as I would normally reward with a score of 91, the taste adventure more than makes up for it. At this price, give it a try.

Santa Carolina Reserva De Familia Cabernet Sauvignon 2013, Maipo Valley
Maipo Valley, Chile$19.95
Lots of flavour, but it has a bit of harshness. Using the carafe did not help much. It is no better than we can grow in Ontario.

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.
