The Paring Red 2006, Santa Ynez Valley
California, Usa$30.25
(3)
Made by Screaming Eagle if I recall correctly (same Vintner that makes Jonata)
1st one decent/ok, was hoping for more, better half enjoyed. (89)
Dec 21....just updating as these last 2 bottles long gone. Decent wine but didn't blow me away. I remember Tina enjoying this wine.
Saltram Mamre Brook Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, Barossa Valley, South Australia
South Australia, Australia$23.25
June 2019....have had several over this vintage over the years and enjoyed them each time (probably bought 6), this time however you could tell it was past its peak. Despite this it was still very drinkable and its quality still obvious. I had with meatloaf but this wine needed something richer as it was very full bodied. Always been a good winery.
Valle Reale Montepulciano D'abruzzo 2007, Doc
Abruzzo, Italy$21.95
2cd go around with this bottle....also bought in 2011....really enjoyed it then and here we go again in 2017......I would guess for immediate drinking. First bottle to Kim McD-Smith for her birthday.
....don't remember where other 3 bottles went (Xmas 2017 gifts) other than I would have had one.
...received one as a gift from Raynors Xmas 2018 (perhaps re gifted)
Opened Raynors bottle winter 2019 and definitely was past best before...still drank it but not so good.
Vecchia Cantina Vino Nobile Di Montepulciano 2007
Tuscany, Italy$18.95
....long gone, don't recall but if I had to guess it was just ok??
Heartland Shiraz 2008, Langhorne Creek/Limestone Coast, South Australia
South Australia, Australia$19.95

Mullineux Syrah 2008, Wo Swartland

rich, full, flavourful.....has matured nicely...I quite like the offerings from C&A Mullineux ala Kloof Street Winery
(Dec 2016) (opened on Tina's birthday)
Durigutti Reserve Malbec 2006, Mendoza, Unfiltered
