Carmen Gran Reserva Syrah 2009, Apalta
Colchagua Valley, Chile$17.95
Deep inky wine with powerful aromas of dark fruit, smokey herbs, pitch and hint of pepper. The palate is full, nicely balanced and packed with powerful dark cherry, tar and scorched earth flavours. Nice length too. On a totally subjective note, the mineral/tar flavours were a bit much for me and while I enjoyed a glass, I wasn't eagerly reaching for a second.

Planets De Prior Pons 2008, Doq Priorat
Priorat, Spain$22.95
Generous dark fruit, peppery spice and earthy herbs. Quite powerful but the elegance is maintained with flavours being drawn out on a balanced palate with a fairly long finish. A bit of mineral bite with some heat at the end being the only thing that betrays the 14.5% alcohol.

Château Des Charmes Old Vines Riesling 2010, VQA Niagara On The Lake
Ontario, Canada$13.75
Orchard fruit with a supporting seem of citrus. Fantastic balance with a mouthwatering backbone of acid supporting the off-dry sweetness. Long finish. Really enjoyable wine.

Domaine Faiveley Mercurey 2012, Ac
Burgundy, France$24.95
Gosh I love this wine. Very light but packed with freshness, elegance and poise. Fresh forest berries with a lovely seam of woodsy spice. It's the structure that really makes this such a pleasure to drink. Lively acidity, fine tannins, and a long spiced fruit finished. Yum.

Mayschoss 140 Jahre Jubiläumswein Trocken Pinot Noir 2013, Qualitätswein, Ahr
Germany$21.95
Great mix of old and new hear with loads of fruits but balanced with a touch of oaky pepper and smoke with a slight kick on the finish to bring it back into the burgundian realm. Excellent at this price.

This packs a lot of flavour without compromising balance and subtlety. Perfect acidity carries orchard fruits for great layers and staying power.

Lots of complexity here of for the money. Fine fruit and minerality with a hint of spice. Super fresh.
