Wine lover since 2001! My interest in wine began while touring the factory where they printed the LCBO VINTAGES magazine.
Over time, my passion for wine grew. Now, I am highly regarded by friends and colleagues as a resource for when they need a wine for that special occasion, be it an anniversary, birthday, wedding, gatherings at home, or when they want to impress their special friend or the In-Laws.
Combining my interest in the Internet/web/computers, you can find me at https://vintagewinepicks.blogspot.com where you will find more wine reviews, events and contests.

Peter Lehmann The Barossan Shiraz 2016, Barossa, South Australia
South Australia, Australia$21.95
Screw cap. Medium+ intensity nose offers ripe black cherry and blackberry aromas combined with enticing black pepper notes. It is medium-full bodied on the palate with mocha, licorice, oak spice and touches of mint joining the black cherry and black pepper notes on the flavour profile. It has fresh acids and smooth, supple tannins. Earthy and mocha notes linger on the finish, with very good length. Tasted May/2019.

Viticcio Morellino Di Scansano 2015, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$19.95
85% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 5% Merlot. The medium+ intensity nose reveals pretty red cherry, rose floral, oak aromas wrapped around a savoury core. It is full bodied with bold, assertive, and grippy tannins, along with fresh acids and nice aroma replays on the palate. Very good length with more cherry, floral and earthy notes lingering on the finish. Needs a couple of years for tannins to soften, or try now with big red meats. Should drink well for the next 6-8 years. Tasted Jan/2019.

Ortas Tradition Rasteau 2017, Ac
Rhône, France$17.95
A blend of old vines 70% Grenache, 20% Syrah and 10% Mourvèdre. Medium intensity nose offers nice blackberry liqueur, dark berry, spice, and kirsch, with hints of graphite and loamy earth aromas. It is medium-full bodied on the palate with blackberry, spice, and graphite flavours. Acids are balanced and juicy, while finely textured tannins are well-integrated. Graphite notes and a touch of bitterness linger on the finish, with very good length. The 14.5% alc./vol. is well-balanced. Enjoy over the next 3-4 years. Tasted July/2019.

100% Pinot Noir. Medium intensity nose offers grapefruit, red fruit, herbs, and citrus with nice replays on the medium-bodied palate with just a peck of sweetness. A touch fleshy and some bitterness on the mid-palate. Acids are bright and lively, while the finish length is good. Tasted Mar/2019.
