Casa Ferreirinha Vinha Grande Branco 2015, Doc Douro
Douro, Portugal$16.95
This wine is very acidic, which detracts for me. Clean, but also a bit thin.

Western Cape, South Africa$14.75
Definitely a BIG wine. Needs food. Smooth, dense, but good acidity.

Flat Rock Chardonnay 2016, VQA Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Escarpment
Ontario, Canada$19.95
This is electricity in a glass. Clear evidence of oak, but combined with good acidity, all in balance, make this a wonderful wine.

Lua Cheia Old Vines Red 2019, Doc Douro
Douro, Portugal$15.95
This wine remains me of a granite countertop: very dense and almost unpenetrable. Agree with Michael: low in aromatics. but i do love the acidity and lack of harshness. Moderate alcohol a plus.

Muga Reserva 2007, Doc Rioja
Spain$23.95
Quite tart. Sour cherry flavours with an undercurrent of oak. Smooth and easy to drink but, at $23.95, I am not finding this a screamingly good buy.

Casa Ferreirinha Papa Figos Tinto 2018, Doc Douro
Douro, Portugal$15.95
Very rounded and fruity on entry, with a vague impression of sweetness. Not on the dusty end of the Douro spectrum. Smooth and has decent acidity. Quite enjoyable overall.

Edetària Via Edetana 2017, Do Terra Alta
Spain$19.95
Very smooth, but good acidity. Slightly faded, with sandalwood lurking in the background, but raspberry fruit upfront. Definitely a Spanish wine.

Estancia Los Cardones Anko Torrontés 2019, Valle De Cafayate, Valles Calchaquíes, Salta
Cafayate Valley, Argentina$13.75
Nobody has mentioned that Torrontes can sometimes taste a bit “soapy”, and this one had flashes of it. Still, I really liked it, for all the reasons outlined by David.

Cave Spring Dry Rosé 2020, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$15.95
Very tart, dry and refreshing, with a hint of spritz. I am not finding the density of flavour noted by Steve above. but it is very clean.

Fabrègues Sélection Picpoul De Pinet 2020, Ap Picpoul De Pinet
Languedoc, France$16.95
I’ll go with the consensus on this one. 89 is an average of the 4 critic reviews. Has a slight bitterness, but that isn’t a bad thing. Went well with, and in, pasta carbonara.
