Domaine Saint Pierre Vacqueyras 2010
Rhône, France$25.95
Delightfully floral nose. Firm but fine tannic structure, with enjoyable complexity on the palate and certainly no paucity of fruit. This may be best after a few years in the dark.
Pérez Cruz Reserva Limited Edition Carmenère 2012
Maipo Valley, Chile$19.95
Big and bold, with a silky texture and considerable complexity on the nose and palate. Notes of cocoa, leafy herbs, black fruit and citrus. However, the palate fatigues quickly from the bombast -- one glass is enough, thanks.
Chilcas Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2009, Colchagua Valley
Colchagua Valley, Chile$17.95
Smoky with some spicy notes. Good value.
Torrevento Vigna Pedale Riserva 2008, Doc Castel Del Monte
Puglia, Italy$20.95
A little astringent but also somewhat bland.
Le Clos Jordanne Village Reserve Pinot Noir 2011, VQA Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$30.00
Outstanding elegance, depth and purity.
Château Lyonnat Emotion 2006, Ac Lussac Saint émilion
Bordeaux, France$19.95
Fairly well balanced with prominent vanilla notes, but a little acrid and not smooth drinking.
Mont Tauch Le Tauch Fitou 2010
Languedoc, France$19.95
Fantastic value - impressive complexity on the nose and palate. There's a notable salinity, which I enjoy. Overall, a very generous and drinkable wine.
