S K N Cabernet Sauvignon 2007, Napa Valley, California
California, Usa$16.95
jammy, and loose around the edges, burnt wood and overcooked bluberry jam - goopy fruit. not balanced. this is a big fruit bomb that lacks quality.

Perrin Les Cornuds Vinsobres 2009, Ac
Rhône, France$15.00
Wow I didn't expect this much quality from a low priced Perrin & Fils. Thankfully it was recommended by Vintage staff, or else I would have passed it by. Lush and delicious. What a great Rhone wine at an amazing price. Violets, cherry concentrate, hint of bitter coffee and wet rocks come to mind.

Fielding Estate Bottled Chardonnay 2013, VQA Beamsville Bench
Ontario, Canada$18.15
Great cool climate notes pulling though on this Chard. Melon and pineapple fruit with vanilla oak and a real saltiness on the finish. Smells cool!

Rosewood Select Series Pinot Noir 2013, VQA Niagara Escarpment
Ontario, Canada$21.95
Wow I really like this little devil. It possesses so much Pinot character. It's light with super silky tannins. Cherry, mushroom and wax on the nose and palate. Reminds me of Pinots from Marlborough (NZ).

Finca Los Alijares Graciano 2009, Vino De La Tierra De Castilla
Spain$17.95
Very intriguing and interesting nose - anise, herbs, spice, cola, eucalyptus, vanilla and ash. The palate if firm and it finishes with a sour tart edge.

Malivoire Ladybug Rosé 2010, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$15.95
well well well, this little Lady Bug rose actually impressed me more than i thought it would. I can see why so many people liked it. nice strawberry watermelon nose and flavours with hints of lime and lime peel, but also complemented with sweet marachino cherry flavours. it's just off dry creamy and smooth. Another incredible rose from Niagara!

Cono Sur Syrah Reserva 2010, Colchagua Valley
Chile$8.95
nose provides berries vanilla musty oak. Medium bodied - tastes a tad watered down. simple and tasty. nothing more than the price tag suggests.

H. J. Fabre Barrel Selection Malbec 2014, Patagonia
Argentina$14.25
Give this 20 minutes to open up in your glass - it shows beautiful fruity/ floral and earthy notes with charred wood and vanilla. The palate has a cough syrup viscosity which makes it very easy to drink. Nice long finish. This is a wine you can just smell all night long. Score = Complex and smooth.

A little rough around the edges - both smooth and rough with sour hints and salted butter.
