Auntsfield Single Vineyard Pinot Noir 2012, Southern Valleys, Marlborough, South Island
Marlborough, New Zealand$29.95
2019
June, 2020.....pretty sure I had more of these (maybe 2 in total) but the current one is all I can remember which was really lovely, so drinkable, so tasty, could go with anything or nothing. Would buy again.

Pintas Character 2011, Doc Douro
Douro, Portugal$51.95
2019....could go longer but don't take a chance?
May, 2021.......a really nice wine with more years left. Strongly flavoured, smooth, structured. Neat to drink knowing it was foot-trodden. An experience worth the price.

2017 + 2018
1st one consumed sometime in 2017.....really really nice, wished I had bought more.
August 2020....think I had second bottle recently (this year). Was still good and still loved it. Would definitely buy again if a decent vintage.

Hidden Bench Locust Lane Rosé 2020, VQA Beamsville Bench, Niagara Escarpment
Ontario, Canada$24.95

MAY 2023....at Dianne and Nick's place. Best Rose I've ever tasted, absolutely delicious, could drink this all day long, in fact I easily polished off 2/3rds of the bottle. Dry, elegant, flavourful, smooth (no rough edges whatsoever), very satisfying. Worked great with pot luck hors d'ovaries.
Recognizing this was a stellar year, would absolutely consider buying again. (91)

Heartland Shiraz 2012, Langhorne Creek
South Australia, Australia$18.95
didn't enjoy so much, typical Aussie high heat and abrupt, needs grilled steak or lamb.....give 2cd bottle another 2+ years to round out, maybe more enjoyable then (Jan 2016)
Remember having second bottle and enjoying it more, probably did have it in 2018 so further time agreed with it. Still, not inclined to repurchase. (90-)

Sept 2019: Had with lamb kebobs at Sandee Fennel's cottage. Gail & Theo, Shelley & Al joining us (George & Ann after dinner). Agreed all around, lovely cab...smooth, tasty (not sweet like some Cali`s) and great value. Would buy again.
