Real De Aragon Centenaria Garnacha 2008, Do Calatayud

Made a mistake when I only bought one bottle of this. Very nice with lamb stew, but would pair nicely with most grilled meats I suspect.

Twenty Twenty-seven Cellars Featherstone Vineyard Riesling 2009, VQA Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Peninsula

nice, but lemonny to the edge of sour. I might leave this for a year. August 2012. It was interesting, but I did not buy a second.

Segal'S Special Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2007, Galilee Heights, Israel

I rated this lower last year. My steak overpowered it a bit. Current review Sept 2012 - fantastic. Some earthy/smokey tones, spicey, berries, all well integrated. Terrific with a rack of lamb. I should have bought more of this, regrets...

Falernia Titon Vineyard Syrah Reserva 2017, Elqui Valley

Dark, jammy, smokey, beauty.
Grilled lamb burgers with feta.

Rustenberg Chardonnay 2016

Perennial winner for me.

Cadus Gualtallary Malbec 2018, Gualtallary, Uco Valley, Mendoza

Solid wine. A bit hot, which tempered the fruit tastes.

Falernia Gran Reserva Syrah 2017, Valle Del Elquí

This was an 89 the first day, and a 91 on day two. Needed time to open up apparently. I will try a second one, with a much longer decant.

Magnotta Venture Series Pinot Grigio 2017, Niagara Peninsula

This was reasonable but not even close to a 91. No idea what they were drinking.

La Cadiérenne Cuvée Grande Tradition Bandol Rosé 2020, A.C.

Best'S Bin No. 1 Great Western Shiraz 2021, Victoria

Good, not great. Did not hit 91 point notes for me.
