Château Clinet 2009, Ac Pomerol

Masi Mazzano Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico 2004

A silky texture sheathes the subtly muscled frame in this well-dressed red, which shows integrated tannins and flavors of dried cherry, currant and grilled nut, with a full range of ground spices—clove, cumin, white pepper, anise and others. Very stylish, with a long, juicy finish. Drink now through 2029. 150 cases imported. –AN

Two Hands Lily's Garden Shiraz 2010, Mclaren Vale

Ripe, supple and succulent, offering a juicy mouthful of red berry, blackberry, cherry, clove and white pepper flavors that sail easily over refined tannins, picking up steam on the finish. Best from 2014 through 2020. 1,500 cases made. –HS
