This was a light bodied crisp chardonnay with little to no oak influence. Decent but perhaps overpriced. 88/89

I am not familiar with Bonarda however I did not find this to stand out in any way. Acceptable at best.

Nice work, some oak presence. But I like oak.

Ringbolt Cabernet Sauvignon 2013, Margaret River Bottle
Ringbolt Cabernet Sauvignon 2013, Margaret River
Western Australia, Australia
$21.95

Even after a one hour decant this was still somewhat green on the nose. The flavour was reasonable but uninspiring for a $22 wine, not much depth/complexity. Short finish. Decent at $15. Not worth $22. Not a repeat buy.

Went well with veal parm/red sauce. Next time will pair with a lamb dish.

Underwhelming and somewhat overrated in my opinion. Decent wine, not outstanding in any way. It was food friendly and smooth I suppose. Certainly not offensive. 88-89.

Ontario, Canada
$16.25

I found this to be green and overly oaked. No depth of flavour, other than new oak. Certainly no pleasant flavours. I bought this on the clearance rack for $12 and will not be going back for a second bottle.

This was a repeat winner, particularly at the price. Tidy value.
