Concha Y Toro Terrunyo Block 27 Carmenère 2008, Peumo Vineyard, Peumo, Cachapoal Valley
Rapel Valley, Chile$29.95
Overrated and overpriced. This is not smooth, nor does it have much flavour. Nice wrapping on the bottle.

Château Clauzet 2009, Ac St Estèphe
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.

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.

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.

Frei Brothers Reserve Zinfandel 2012, Dry Creek Valley
California, Usa$26.95
It tastes like what I expect from a Zinfandel, except that it is extremely smooth. It is pretty good right now. This is a repeat buy.

Uccelliera Rosso Di Montalcino 2012, Doc
Tuscany, Italy$31.95
Wow, love the pepper. With the strong fruit, I could easily believe it was from Sonoma. A great bottle of wine, as it should be for this price.
