Bordeaux, France$29.85
A little more "tough and wooly" than I hope for at this price.

Finca Villacreces Pruno 2011
Ribera Del Duero, Spain$21.95
Look for the word PRUNO on the bottle, like in the picture. And that it what I taste, prunes. Smooth and pleasant, I think it is a decent value for the price, but not amazing.

Chapel Hill Cabernet Sauvignon 2009, Mclaren Vale
South Australia, Australia$26.95
Ripe aromatic berry fruits and rich dark chocolate are the top notes in this complex wine. Under that oak and a hint of spice.

Castello Di Querceto Chianti Classico Riserva 2010
Tuscany, Italy$29.95
It just did not work for me. Maybe I should have waited like the reviewers suggested.

Concha Y Toro Marques De Casa Concha Carmenère 2008, Peumo Vineyard
Rapel Valley, Chile$19.95
Unbelievably smooth and flawless from start to finish. It did not show much complexity. This is ideal to serve to non-wine-savvy guests, and very pleasant at any time.

Domaine Du Grand Montmirail Vacqueyras 2009, Ac
Rhône, France$24.95
At first it tasted like a rather ordinary Rhone, but either it grew on me, or else more time in the carafe helped. Maybe it really does need more time to be fully integrated.

Château Saint Roch De Laurens 2007, Ac Faugères
Languedoc, France$18.95
Very nice traditional style syrah. Too bad I did not try it in time to get more.

Quinta Da Romaneira Touriga Nacional 2010
Douro, Portugal$29.95
It starts with a slightly sour cherry taste, but it is wonderfully smooth, and gets better with each sip. This is a truly excellent wine.

Poliziano Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano 2007, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$29.95
The smoothness and peppery taste reminds me of a Chateaunneuf du Pape. This quality for the price is amazing.

Capanna Brunello Di Montalcino 2006
Tuscany, Italy$45.95
After one small glass of this wine, my opinion was this is amazing, so rich and full of flavour. Then tragedy, a glass fell out of our cupboard and broke the caraffe, and the rest of the wine was lost. In the spirit of getting back on the horse after falling off, we bought another bottle. It was very good, but just not quite as amazing. I don't know if different bottles vary that much, or we did not have a proper caraffe (any more). Maybe it really just needs more time to age.
