Farnese Casale Vecchio Montepulciano D'abruzzo 2009, Abruzzo

For the price, three is good value. I'd buy it again but was not overly impressed.
Granted, I paired it with nothing and did not decant, so it may be better than I give credit.
Nice mid bodied warm, slight spice. I can tate the berry
Smooth long finish wi a clean, non fuzzy After

La Chamiza Polo Profesional Cabernet Sauvignon 2009, Mendoza

Very good wine,
Fruity, full flavor, not overbearing.
I would not say that this is a 'BIG' red, but ruby red, plumy, incredible value

Bonterra Cabernet Sauvignon 2009, Mendocino County

Very good and pleasant.
I expected it to be a bigger wine, but with a cherry nose it was a pleasant find.

Repeat buy, yes.
Run out and stock, no

J. Lohr Seven Oaks Cabernet Sauvignon 2009, Paso Robles, California

Chateau De Gourgazaud 2009, Minervois

I'd use the words quite admIrally brilliant.
For the money, this one is top drawer. Something that is worth buying by the case to have as the go to 3rd bottle of wine at a dinner.

Second bottle taste....no regrets on this tongue at tt...stock it... So good value

Cicchitti Edición Limitada Malbec 2008, Mendoza

Delicious
Strand out
Smooth
Refined
Jammy notes with no over bearing segments

Would buy again for sure, but, thought I paid $18 and I was in love. I think I see noe I paid $25. Feeling a bit like my my love afair is corrupt. This wine won my lusting under false pretenses
