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.

Xmas 2018...gift to Rona
feel like I had one already, maybe only 2 left? Will have one very soon (April/23)
May 2023....had on Mother's Day at 9TC, with burgers for dinner. Really nice, Crystal enjoyed as well. Smooth and flavourful. Don't feel it needs to age any longer.
If in fact 2 left, one to A&G for sure.

Vigna Di Pallino Riserva Chianti 2014, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$23.25
really enjoyed the many bottles I consumed of this....many given as gifts as well....was a really smooth, easy drinking and tasty Chianti.....served at one of our kids gift Christmas parties and had lots of compliments. Bet I purchased 15 bottles of this, maybe more. Would easily buy again!

Bel Echo Pinot Noir By Clos Henri 2012
Marlborough, New Zealand$22.95
July 2019...had the last one with a pork chop one night and salmon the next time...really quite lovely (my same recollection from drinking at least one of these previously probably 2-3 years ago). Round and flavourful. Would buy again.

Matetic Corralillo Syrah 2011, San Antonio Valley
San Antonio Valley, Chile$23.95
late 2015/16+2017+2018
August 2018....having last one now, is better now than early on, aging has improved. Nice wine.
Previous history was 4 purchased....one as a gift (Gerrits?), one had early (2015?) and not so enamored, one enjoyed with Crystal (she really liked) (2017), and now this one on my own.

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.

Sicily, Italy$19.95

....my recollection is I quite enjoyed it. A pleasant departure from other Italian wines. Dont recall if I drank both, I suspect one was gifted.
