Emiliana Novas Gran Reserva Syrah/Mourvèdre 2012, Colchagua Valley
Cachapoal Valley, Chile$15.95
2018 + 2019/20
May 2018: pretty darn good for the money....let it breathe, 30 minutes seemed to do it, had with Chili....delish.
(try next one fall 2019 or winter 2020 with Chili of course :-)
Sept 2019: enjoyed with June & Keith and Jack W while celebrating Keith's birthday. Had with steak (Keith had a tomahawk steak which was awesome). Wine was enjoyed by all including Jack. As I remembered it, smooth, strong fruit, full. Great value!

J.L. Chave Sélection Mon Coeur 2013
Rhône, France$22.95
April 2020.....probably a little late drinking this but still tasty, just not that fresh. Was probably best about 1-2 years ago. Really like the wines from this winemaker. Have already drank 2 of the 2016 CdR and they are special. Will keep buying this product.

Tormaresca Trentangeli 2012, Doc Castel Del Monte
Puglia, Italy$19.95
2020/21
Had first one sometime in 2016/17, wasn't all that impressed. Thought. couple of years aging might help. Probably did, in 2020 was nice but still wasn't won over by it. Had with eggplant parmigiana but maybe required richer foods. Probably wouldn't buy again.
