Via Caritatis Vox Angelorum 2020, A.P. Ventoux

Value wine made up of 70% Syrah & 30% Grenache, Vox Angelorum (which means "Voice of the Angels"). It is produced on the estate located on the slopes of Mount Ventoux in the neighborhood of Gigondas & CDP. The question is, can it compete with its famous Neighbours?

This wine has aromas of cherry, blueberry, dried herbs, iron, red currant, and prune. Flavours include chocolate, prune, muddled black fruits, licorice & menthol. It is a rich wine that matches well with puttanesca.

Lagar De Codegua Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2019, Do Rancagua, Alto Cachapoal

There are aromas of oak, red fruit, cassis, plum, and violet. The flavours are similar, nice, and pristine, with medium (+) tannins and acidity. Decant or wait another year or two before opening. This is a good wine for the price.- Nov 2024

Bogle Vineyards Cabernet Sauvignon 2015, California

Oh, here we have a wine that's past its prime, 9 years. Aromas of game, and blackberry. Tasted like prune, plum, balsamic, oak, and cinnamon. Dry finish with a hint of tannins but the acidity is almost gone. - Jan 2024

Villa Puccini Riserva Chianti 2019, Docg

This was an underwhelming Chianti Riserva until it was paired with food. Aromas of balsamic, violet, and. tomato. Flavours were the same with sour cherry, oak, tree bark, chalk dry tannins with medium plus acidity. Food is a must.
