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.

Terre Di Rubinoro Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano 2006, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$17.95
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

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.

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!

Beringer Knights Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2010, Sonoma County
California, Usa$39.95
I thought the 2009 showed better, the 2010 is (to me) a bit astringent...the quality of the fruit just isn't the same as 2009. Despite my negativity this is still (for the $$) a well put together Cali Cab. However for almost $15 less, The Raymond steals the show for the 2010 vintage. ...Just my two cents.

Château Le Conseiller 2005, Ac Bordeaux Supérieur
Bordeaux, France$26.00
If you still have a bottle of this kicking around in your cellar give it a go. Wow so structured and fine. I could blab on and on… But some things are better left to the imagination. Simply amazing.

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.

D'angelo Aglianico Del Vulture 2009, Doc Basilicata
Italy$17.95
first note - decant for an hour...okay now classic notes appear... spicy cherry, barn yard, earth, tobacco, charcoal, wet wood and vanilla must... and a hint of citrus (orange peel?) . Palate is smooth but dry...offers loads of pipe tobacco. A tad thin, but that's normal for this varietal. Classic and respectable.

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!
