A classic in my book. Always offers balance and grace with a creamy texture. It's used to be only available at restaurants...great value on sale for 24 bucks.

Lemon butter with mineral notes. It's medium bodied - feels creamy on the palate but finishes dry. This wine is suave but also gently refreshes your palate. Very nice for the price.

I'm a fan. Great value, but you have to except that Malbec is not a Cabernet. Lol

Smells like Ricola herbal cough drops, and smoky cherries with vanilla oak & cedar. The palate is medium bodied, with grippy tannins. Nice fruity loganberry finish.

Amazing QPR - It's soft and smooth, subtle but lush with a caressing finish. Complex and really enjoyable.

Spicy, earthy and fruity...reminds me of Reserva Rioja! Finishes with saw dust tannins. This is a wine you BBB (Buy By the Box)

$19.95

wow...really the best carmenere i've tasted! so concentrated you think your drinking vicks cherry cough syrup. It's packed with sweet cherry, herb/ medicinal/ roasted jalapeno peppers flavour. needs time to soften, but then it's rich and silky smooth. GREAT FIND!

Mayu Reserva Carmenère 2009, Elqui Valley Bottle
Mayu Reserva Carmenère 2009, Elqui Valley

here's a wine with some real tension! It's got a strong spicy bouquet - ...blueberry, smoke, jalapeno brandy liqueur, cigar, leather. the palate is surprisingly smooth, but the tension between oaky fruit bomb and earthiness complicates things, but in a nice way. This wine has a little bit for everybody to enjoy. Great finish!

As Gary Vee says "Oak Monster" Australian makeup fruit bomb - meets herbaceous inspired Rioja. Not a serious wine but a definite pleasure seeker. Love'n this bombastic lip stick wine!

Back 10 Cellars The Big Reach Riesling 2012, VQA Lincoln Lakeshore Bottle
Back 10 Cellars The Big Reach Riesling 2012, VQA Lincoln Lakeshore

$25.00

Sweet and lemony with zesty acidity to keep itself fresh. An off dry Riesling that marches to the beat of its own drum.
