Valpantena Valpolicella Ripasso 2013, Doc

Errazuriz Estate Pinot Noir 2014, Aconcagua Valley

Better typicity, length, and complexity than bicicleta. My sample had none of the sourness noted in other reviews. Body is light and the wine rounds out with a slight chill.

Henkell Trocken Fine Sekt Dry

Apothic Red 2013, California

Ridiculous coffee in your face followed by sweet syrup. Lots of flavour and finish but no backbone, complexity or appealing wine flavours

Carnivor Cabernet Sauvignon 2014, San Joaquin , Lodi

A heavily doctored style: sweet, syrupy, jet black and a toasted oak chip flavour with strong suggestions of cigars (but not in a good way like some Chilean wines). No length, complexity, freshness or structure: just heavy manufactured and unpleasant flavours.
