Perez Cruz Limited Edition Cabernet Sauvignon 2014, Maipo Alta
Maipo Valley, Chile$17.75
Easy to drink (fine tannins) but limited length & complexity. Good for pizza night but not for a refined holiday dinner. Better on the next day. Tasted December 2016.

Was worth a try, but 4 grapes in equal proportions made it somewhat bland. Tasted May 2013.

Domaine Cauhapé Chant Des Vignes Dry Jurancon 2013, Ac
Southwest, France$16.95
Impressive wine but not necessarily a crowd pleaser. When you start drinking it, it tastes like a Sauvignon Blanc...but then the acidity kicks in... All in all, a high quality wine. Tasted July 2015.

Vitalonga Terra Di Confine 2006, Igt Umbria
Umbria, Italy$22.95
Very dark colour which announced it would be heavier than other Montepulciano wines. Still has a tannic edge to it (but no more greenness), which went away after 30 minute of decanting. Nice complexity to this wine and decent long finish. Tasted April 2014.

Chateau De Gourgazaud 2009, Minervois
Languedoc, France$12.95
Wow, now I really understand what all the fuss is about. Very nice, smooth, full body wine based on Syrah and Mourvèdre. And what a bargain at that price. For those of you that are big fans of Australian Shiraz, this is a great intro to French-style Shiraz. Enjoy ! Tasted January 2012.
