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.

$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!

$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.

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.

I enjoyed this little pinot, but i can't say I'd purchase it again. I like my pinot's a touch richer.

This is a juicy, succulent pinot with punching acidity. Sweet and sour cherries and cola flavour pretty much sum it up. There might even be a hint of hickory on the nose... Score = Central Otago RESPECT!

Ravine Vineyard Chardonnay 2010, VQA Niagara Peninsula Bottle

Very Macon-Villages - it's an elegant chardonnay with a purity of butter and salty minerality at the forefront that adds undertones of caramel vanilla oak. A nice light sipper. Very suave.
