Poderi Di Luigi Einaudi Dolcetto Di Dogliani 2013, Doc Bottle
Poderi Di Luigi Einaudi Dolcetto Di Dogliani 2013, Doc
Piedmont, Italy
$19.95

Wow, this is super delicious and pure. The mouth feel is gorgeous - silky and round, it really coats your palate. Expect roses, violets and fresh sweet and sour cherries on the finish. This is absolutely the best Dolcetto I've ever had.

some wine nerds my disrespect this wine b/c of it's make up and mass production claiming it does not reflect a sense of place...but what it does give you is pure drinking enjoyment...really well made, richly textured and amazing structure..this wine is a big boy...

Henry Of Pelham Reserve Baco Noir 2009, VQA Ontario Bottle
Henry Of Pelham Reserve Baco Noir 2009, VQA Ontario
Ontario, Canada
$24.95

Not sure if there's a better Baco noir made on the planet. It rustic but smooth showing sweet and sour cherries, smoky plum, leather, mud, wet leaves -medium to full bodied silky tannins - its beyond well made - it's perfectly balanced & structured. Oh Yaaaaaaaaaaaaa the right stuff!

Alto Moncayo Veraton 2011, Do Campo De Borja Bottle
Alto Moncayo Veraton 2011, Do Campo De Borja
Spain
$33.95

This is a full throttle juicy wine, bursting with blueberry jam and oozing vanilla extract residue from the oak. It's really smooth and delicious...and yes lots of Grenacha sweetness. Cab heads and bourbon boys will dig this.

Lailey Pinot Noir 2009, VQA Niagara Peninsula Bottle
Lailey Pinot Noir 2009, VQA Niagara Peninsula

Needs time to mellow. It has amazing structure and it is well made so i imagine it will develop nicely. However currently not drinking like a pinot should...it's just too rough.

Boschendal 1685 S & M 2013 Bottle
Boschendal 1685 S & M 2013
South Africa
$16.75

Starts sweet and finishes sour with a burn. It's a simple fruity wine. It's thin and watery on the palate and the acid is quite high. It's not terrible, but it's unbalanced, thin and hot. Blah, a pass for me.

Manoir Du Carra Les Bottières Juliénas 2012, Ac Bottle
Manoir Du Carra Les Bottières Juliénas 2012, Ac
Beaujolais, France
$19.95

This is impressive for it's silkiness as it's very Pinot like. It's medium bodied and smooth. Ripe cherries, cola, hot rock steam, cedar and vanilla. Has a soft velvety finish.
