Bordeaux qualities - a little un-refined and sharp/ tannic...but well made. Cherry, Cassis, blueberry, saw dust

This is a classic Rioja that charms you with old world earthy notes, cedar, leather and spicy cherries. Medium bodied and with super fine tannins. A absolutely amazing wine for the price.

Norman Hardie County Pinot Noir 2009, VQA Prince Edward County, Unfiltered Bottle

Ontario, Canada
$39.00

Great Pinot nose that offers cherries, vanilla oak with hints of earth. Light bodied and elegant but with noticeable fine tannins. Nice tension on the palate between sweet cherries and sour cranberries. Finishes dry and tart with nice mouth watering acidity.

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.

Château De Nages J T Costières De Nîmes 2012, Ac
Rhône, France
$26.95

This is a fairly plush, medium weight Rhone blend. Cherries, hot rock and smoky ash on the nose. The palate adds licorice, violets and coco powder. Dusty tannins add grip to the finish. Good value for $20. BIG TIP - decant for an hour - this get much richer, rounder and smoother.

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.

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.
