Santa Rita Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
Maipo Valley, Chile$14.70
gift from Ken & Odette (Dec 2017)
...2018 BBQ
July 2019...wasn't expecting too much here so it surprised me. Not reminiscent of a CS but was pleasant though soft and not sweet thankfully. Even went well with bbq salmon one night. As long as not looking for richness and complexity was a good simple pour.

July 2020....wasn't expecting much, in fact regretted buying 3 before I even tried it HOWEVER I quite enjoyed it especially after plenty of aeration (2 hours), not top notch but juicy & succulent, a nice find! Had with both chicken and steak, worked ok with chicken surprisingly.

Dievole Chianti Classico 2014, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$17.25
2018....tried it in hopes that I would want to buy more. Not the case. Don't recall exact details but wasn't that impressed, so that was that, the one and only.

Michele Chiarlo Le Orme 16 Months Barbera D'asti 2016, Docg
Piedmont, Italy$15.95
2019 + gift (or drink in 2021)
(feel like I drank one already, so enjoyed it I bought 2 more???) Maybe?
December 2020....pretty decent for the money. Had with BLT. Light to medium bodied, had some cherry zest to it. Would likely tire of it quickly I suspect. Enjoyable and good value but not a wine of lasting memories.

Was the red wine we purchased for Dad's Celebration of Life.....was tasty at the time, bought one to save for later. Try to have it with my sisters if we get together summer of 2022.
July 2022...brought to Welch gathering at Hymans house...was shared around. Still tasted good, a simple soft malbec. Dawn really liked.

Château Mayne Vieil 2016, Ac Fronsac
Bordeaux, France$19.95
(6)
2022/23+24+25+26 or gift one
This estate situated at the base of the Fronsac hill has produced a ripe and lightly structured wine. Tannins support blackberry fruits and the perfumed acidity, adding an attractive touch of smokiness. Drink the wine from 2020. Best Buy. Score - 90 (Roger Voss, Wine Enthusiast, May 1, 2019)
Sept 2020...gift to June & Keith
Sept 2020...very strong and distinctive flavours, not sure I liked (never been a big Bordeaux fan). Return some or at $20 per?? or wait it out and see how they evolve...maybe the latter?
