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.

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.

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.

This tastes like an entry level California zinfandel, except it costs a lot less. Excellent value.

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.

Pelissero Munfrina Dolcetto D'alba 2012, Doc
Piedmont, Italy$18.95
To me the main flavour is cherry. But it is wonderfully smooth, more so than other Dolcettos that I have tasted. This is well worth trying.

Franciscan Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, Napa Valley
California, Usa$29.95
Sara says it all. I drank it now, but I did decant it for an hour. It starts good and gets better. What a treat!

Exceptionally smooth for the price. Not a lot of complexity, but certainly a good value.
