Pelissero Munfrina Dolcetto D'alba 2012, Doc Bottle
Pelissero Munfrina Dolcetto D'alba 2012, Doc
Piedmont, Italy
$18.95

If Dolcetto wasn't looked upon as a simple table wine, this wine would be triple the price. The nose is a mix mash of earth and fruit...very pungent. The palate is seriously structured like a job interview, tight grippy finish.

Perrin Les Cornuds Vinsobres 2009, Ac Bottle
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.

Tuscany, Italy

A beautiful wine, Rioja similarities. Nose and taste: Slightly spicy cherry, cinnamon, clove, sandalwood or light oak saw dust. Super smooth on the palate, sexy smooth, a hint of sweetness but dry and structured. Loved it. 92 pts

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!

H. J. Fabre Barrel Selection Malbec 2014, Patagonia Bottle
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.

Amalaya Valle Calchaqui 2008 Bottle
Amalaya Valle Calchaqui 2008
Salta, Argentina
$16.20

The name Amalaya, or “hope for a miracle”, is rooted in the desire of the native Calchaqui Indians to keep the gods of nature content. - with the Hess Family behind this venture you know it's something special.
