José Maria Da Fonseca Domini 2015, Dop Douro
Douro, Portugal$16.95
Sara’s tasting notes are the closest to the mark for me. An interesting interplay between the bright acidity and fading fruit. Doesn’t feel heavy or ponderous.

Grão Vasco 2017
Dão, Portugal$8.80
I've enjoyed this wine before but a recent bottle of the 2018 vintage was off. Quite tart and actually frizzy. Initially reminded me of vinho verde. Moderated after a day or so but still only marginally drinkable. Surprising for such lapses in a screw top.

Symington Altano 2016, Doc Douro
Douro, Portugal$13.95
Hugely tannic, but the tannins are as smooth as butter. Very elegant. Mid-weight. Great value at 13.95

Château Des Charmes Cuvée Michèle Pinot Noir 2018
Ontario, Canada$16.95
Agree with the consensus above. No blockbuster but perfectly serviceable. When I feel like a light red, this fits the bill with no hard edges.

Monasterio De Las Viñas Gran Reserva 2013, Dop Cariñena
Aragón, Spain$19.95
Beautiful wine with sandalwood overtones, good acidity, and smooth finish. A mature Spanish red for sure, but lots of life still. Decent price.

Full-bodied and rich, good acidity helps avoids jamminess. Finish is a bit hot.

Seems a little thin. Both acidic and a bit sweet at the same time. Coarse finish.

Review is for 2019, which is not listed. Quite full-bodied with noticeable oak and relatively high acidity. Enjoyable.
