Viña Casablanca Nimbus Single Vineyard Syrah 2011, Casablanca Valley
Casablanca Valley, Chile$16.75
Blackberry, peppery, plus a few other elements that come together in an excellent syrah. Would buy more and likely cellar to 2016 as it has room to grow yet. 90+

Poeira Dusty 2010, Doc Douro
Douro, Portugal$16.75
Dusty is appropos. Dry and tannic, in the manner of a Barolo. This was good, but I really did not pick up any fruit notes. I think it may have benefited from another year in the cellar to round it out a bit. Definitely worth the discount bin price of $16.75.
Needs a salty steak to go with.

Seghesio Zinfandel Sonoma 2014
California, Usa$29.95
tasted May 2018, with a bacon-wrapped, pan seared filet mignon. Fantastic. Nose of dark fruit and spice. Well developed flavours and strong finish. If I could change anything, it would be the number of bottles I purchased! Sadly only one, as this had legs for years.

Ovidio García Esencia Crianza 2009, Do Cigales
Spain$14.25
Had two bottles, the second of which was corked unfortunately. This was a very solid wine for the price, even the corked one was decent! Very food friendly.
