Volpaia Chianti Classico 2010
Tuscany, Italy$27.95
This is Chianti at its best, elegant, lovely colour, refined berries and spices notes... Paired beautifully with a lasagna.
Château Du Cèdre Cahors 2009
Southwest, France$21.95
WOW!
How different this Malbec is from its cousins in the new world.
But the most remarkable point here is that this gem of Bordeaux wine, from an extraordinary year, was priced just over $20.
Oh, if I had only bought more...
Tawse Laundry Vineyard Cabernet Franc 2010, VQA Lincoln Lakeshore, Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$31.95
La Rioja Alta Viña Ardanza Reserva 2004, Doca Rioja
Rioja, Spain$39.95
Wow, double wow. The depth of this Rioja is surprising.
Pierre Amadieu Romane Machotte Gigondas 2012, Rhône Valley
Rhône, France$28.95
Very nice Gigondas. a GS blend (no Mourvedre), medium to full body. The nose is deceptive, as it reveals little of what is to come (if you open it a good half hour prior to pouring, that could help). Nice long finish.
Domaine Du Vieux Lazaret Châteauneuf Du Pape 2009, Ac
Rhône, France$39.95
Plums and licorice greet you, maybe a little red berry as well, when you approach this medium to full bodied CdP. It sure delivers what you would expect at this price level from the well known Southern Rhone AOC. Very drinkable.
