M. Chapoutier Les Vignes De Bila Haut Côtes De Roussillon 2015, Ac
Languedoc, France$15.95
What an excellent wine for the money! I agree with Mr. Lawrence, the 2015 vintage is superior to to the bracketed vintages. Superb value for such an intriguing flavour profile at this price point. We stocked-up and will be enjoying this one through 2018.

Domaine Tournon Mathilda Shiraz 2013, Victoria
Victoria, Australia$13.25
This is a superb wine and excellent value. When compared to Bila Haut & Cave de Roquebrun, both very good buys, I would go for the Tournon because of the superior fruit forward finish. Decanting does help.

Domaine Les Grands Bois Cuvée Maximilien Côtes Du Rhône Villages Cairanne 2012, Unfiltered, Ac
Rhône, France$22.95
Wonderful nose with clear "leery notes'. Love the fine tannins and highly flavourful on the palate. On the whole, a very interesting wine and flavour profile. Definitely worth more than one in the cellar!

Tessellae Carignan Vieilles Vignes 2014, Côtes Catalanes
Languedoc, France$18.95
This an excellent wine for the price! JS is right on but I am biased being a great fan of Rhone wines. Tessellae, slightly chilled, is a delight!

Viña Casablanca Itera Seaside Journey 2021, Sustainable, Chile
Chile$18.25
Couldn't agree more with Mr. Lawrason on this wine. What a surprise and a delight. It is light with all of the typicity one would expect from a Pinot Noir - juicy and vibrant with lots of fruit on the palate. Great for those meals that require a Pinot and at this price, you can't loose.

Oak Bay Pinot Noir 2019, BC VQA Okanagan Valley
British Columbia, Canada$21.95
Awkwardly disappointing flavour; very light on the fruit with a distinctive tannic seam. You get what you pay for - $20 Pinot. Not recommended.

Alejandro Fernández Dehesa La Granja 2008, Vino De La Tierra De Castilla Y León
Spain$21.95
Wonderful surprise in this wine. Just the right degree of sandalwood flavour, good fruit; very enjoyable. No Brett in this wine unlike the San pio ripasso which shouldn't be on the LCBO shelf

Le Vieux Pin Syrah Cuvée Violette 2013, BC VQA Okanagan Valley
British Columbia, Canada$29.90
Just returned from a visit and tasting at the Le Vieux Pin and couldn't agree more with J. Szabo. The Violette is a light syrah with a lovely nose and light tannins. So enjoyable that I had some shipped back to ON. Definitely worth a visit if you are in the Okanagon. Also try Church & State, Stoneboat and Fairview, Wild Goose, too.
