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.

13th Street Cabernet/Merlot 2013, VQA Niagara Peninsula
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.

Not offensive in any way, but certainly did not stand out. Decent pizza or pasta with red sauce wine.

This was a big disappointment. Not worth $10, let alone $40.
