Chilcas Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2009, Colchagua Valley
Colchagua Valley, Chile$17.95
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.

Emiliana Novas Petit Verdot 2011, Colchagua Valley
Chile$15.95
Totally delivers for the price. A big solid wine that somehow has been refined to be smooth...but there's a beast waiting to be set free behind the curtain. Pretty cool expression of Petit Verdot.

Girard Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, Napa Valley
California, Usa$34.95
Nose is closed at first - but after about a half hour or so...(lost count) it opens up nicely - berries and cedar and alcohol.
Palate is med to full, and really structured, the tannis are strong enough to rip your mouth right off!
Classic cab flavours of dark berries, cassis and wood.
Finish is smooth but strong. I would say this is a pretty serious wine. No messing around.

Akarua Central Otago Pinot Noir 2011
Central Otago, New Zealand$37.95
BIG, RICH & ROUND! ...is the best way to sum up this Pinot. Fans of Russian River Valley Pinots will appreciate this offering. The nose is deep and seductive with sweet brown sugar, sweet cherry tobacco & warm spices. The palate is full, round and plush - it has a real creaminess. The finish is long and smooth. Would I purchase it again? You bet!

De Wetshof Finesse Lesca Estate Chardonnay 2012, Wo Robertson
Robertson, South Africa$14.75
Wow this is outstanding...Especially considering it's under $20 bones. Really nice natural and pure nose of butter, mineral, white musk, melon, banana and cream. (lot's of Malolactic on this baby). The palate is full suave with intense-elegance. Nice structured finish.
