Frescobaldi Tenuta Di Castiglioni 2008, Igt Toscana
Tuscany, Italy$21.95
While the cherry and tannins are a little much at the moment, but it will likely become smoother with a some aging. The finish is very nice and the fruit is subtle. I'm banking on balance coming with age. My rating is based on potential.
Tasted Jan./12
Cave Spring Estate Riesling 2009, Beamsville Bench
Ontario, Canada$17.95
Peach, pear, honey and green apple with nice finish. Petrol notes are too predominant and detract from what would be an otherwise enjoyable product.
Perez Cruz Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva 2009, Maipo Valley
Chile$14.95
Too much pine needle for me. Otherwise a great example of value cab.
Fontanafredda Barolo 2007, Piedmont
Piedmont, Italy$29.95
Medium body with moderate complexity and decent value.
Crushed flowers, dried red fruit, leather, dark chocolate with a hint of smoke. Tannic and oaky with a soft finish.
Tasted January 2013.
Catena Chardonnay 2010, Mendoza
Mendoza, Argentina$18.95
A very nice chardonnay. Smooth, soft, complex and well balanced. Notes of stoned fruit, pear, apple, butter, and slight notes of pie crust and cinnamon. Great value.
Tasted April, 2012.
