Emiliana Novas Petit Verdot 2011, Colchagua Valley
Chile$15.95
Petit Verdot is not often done in such a restrained and approachable style.
A clean, balanced wine with floral notes, rich fruit and nice tannis, with above average length with nicely integrated oak.
I wouldn't think this would benefit much from cellaring, but will likely hold over a few years.
Excellent value.
Tasted September 2013.

Loire, France$19.95
Clean, smooth and tasty. Not a lot of complexity, but a well made wine that is an excellent sipper or pair with food.

Château La Brie Prestige 2009, Ac Bergerac
Southwest, France$13.95
This wine is a testament to the 2009 Bordeaux vintage. I have to agree with everyone here, but I give it a little more credit. Not just for the price. While it is an exceptional value, it presents well-balanced fruit, supple tannins and a soft finish. Medium to full body, with notes of cassis, black berry, menthol, espresso and pencil shavings. Although I am not sure it will age much longer than two years. Value buy 4/5.
As always, the vintage panel recommends a pairing with lamb...big surprise!
Tasted March/2012
