Planeta Cerasuolo Di Vittoria 2015, Cerasuolo Di Vittoria

Strawberry jam deliciousness! We were having a summer dinner of charcuterie, cheeses and light salad, and I randomly brought up this wine (having enjoyed a few nero d'avola I have tasted)... and what a fortunate choice it was, specially when paired with cured hams/meats.

Château De Montfaucon Baron Louis Lirac 2015, Ap

I spent all afternoon on Sunday cooking a cassoulet... when choosing which wine I'd open I came across this Côtes du Rhône in my newly arrived Wine Exchange shipment, and driven by impulse rather than thought I opened it. It paired very nicely. This CdR greets you with a predominantly red fruit nose, has lovely acidity in the palate, and a depth and length that you would expect to find in a much higher priced Châteauneuf-du-Pape

Everything a Rioja Reserva should be. Gracias Marqués!

Creation Syrah Grenache 2017, Walker Bay

Tenuta Marsiliana Birillo Rosso 2014, Costa Toscana Igt

I'd say Cab Sauvignon is the dominant grape in this blend, but am not sure. What I can safely say though, is that this is a succulent wine. Dark fruit prevails over hints of red, some oak presence, a warmth from the Tuscan sun (?) and a lovely finish.
