Las Rocas Garnacha 2009, Do Calatayud
Spain$15.00
2009 vintage is alot better than those previous of this wine. This wine tastes great and has the complexity of a Gigondas. 15 bucks...great buy!

Tormaresca Trentangeli 2012, Doc Castel Del Monte
Puglia, Italy$19.95
This is a wonderfully balanced wine with suave tannins. Packed with blueberry, vanilla and smokey dark roast coffee. Medium weight. Super super fine tannins make a sandpaper finish.

Château Lestruelle 2009, Ac Médoc, Cru Bourgeois
Bordeaux, France$18.95
for a budget under $20 bucks, look no further. This wine is really approachable for those looking to brake away from the new world and experience an entry level Bordeaux. It's a tad light and almost drinks oddly enough like a burgundy (did anybody else think that?). Really funky, woodsy and well made. Loved it.

Lailey Pinot Noir 2009, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$24.95
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.

Chehalem 3 Vineyard Pinot Noir 2009, Willamette Valley
Oregon, Usa$23.75
It's kind of hard to nail down a reference point for this Pinot??? Russian River, Yarra, Central Otago, Burgundy...does this mean Pinot is becoming homogeneous...no sense of place? Oh well, it's delicious and well made so i guess sense of place doesn't mean sh*t. Amazing Pinot can be grown and cultivated all over the world, so I'm Love'n this one from the Willamette Valley!

Sokol Blosser Pinot Noir 2010, Dundee Hills, Willamette Valley
Oregon, Usa$35.95
An elegant light style, with racy acidity and smooth tannins. Classic pinot charm consisting of cran-raspberries and smoke.

Tierra Del Fuego Limited Edition Cabernet Sauvignon/syrah/carmenère 2008, Maule Valley
Maule Valley, Chile$19.95
Nice deep purple ruby stain in the glass leads to a classic carmenere nose...smoky black cherries, chili peppers, creamy oaky vanilla. A tad off balance, lazy & hot, but a nice long finish.

Lailey Merlot 2010, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$20.25
2011 Vintage.
Musty barrel, vanilla oak, smoke, blueberries, coco, floral notes, dill and charcoal. Palate is silky and smooth with (grippy) refined tannins. Medium weight. Finish is long with smoky, blueberry vanilla and sour cherry notes hanging on.
