Thelema Mountain Red 2011, Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch, South Africa$13.00
Decent but not outstanding in any way. Not much going on for me. Reasonable value.
Clos Du Val Zinfandel 2012, Napa Valley
California, Usa$31.95
Bought this based on previous vintages and was a bit disappointed. Decent but a bit expensive for what you get.
Pessoa Da Vinha Reserva Douro 2010
Douro, Portugal$12.45
Agreed this is a nice, well-rounded Douro for a good price. Recommended.
Santa Rita Medalla Real Carmenere Gran Reserva 2009, Colchagua Valley
Colchagua Valley, Chile$17.95
Very appealing. Aromas of caramel and black fruit. Tastes of black cherries, smoke, and likely other delights. 90-91
Santa Rita Medalla Real Gran Reserva Cabernet Sauvignon 2010, Maipo Valley
Maipo Valley, Chile$17.95
Started out nicely but I found this a bit hot which numbed the finish for me. Not a repeat buy.
Figuero Tinto 4 Tempranillo 2012
Ribera Del Duero, Spain$9.90
Substantial red here, dark and fruity with reasonable oak. This needs a decant for sediment removal and some time to open up. Also needs a "big" dish to pair with. Great buy for $9.90 on the bin end sale, I bought 6 more. 88 plus another point for the value!
Santa Rita Medalla Real Carmenere Gran Reserva 2011, Colchagua Valley
Colchagua Valley, Chile$17.90
Chapel Hill Unwooded Chardonnay 2012, South Australia
South Australia, Australia$15.75
This was a light bodied crisp chardonnay with little to no oak influence. Decent but perhaps overpriced. 88/89
Zuccardi Series A Bonarda 2012, Santa Rosa
Mendoza, Argentina$16.95
I am not familiar with Bonarda however I did not find this to stand out in any way. Acceptable at best.
Valdemar Inspiración Valdemar 2010, Doca Rioja
Rioja, Spain$19.95
Nice work, some oak presence. But I like oak.
