Domaine Saint Pierre Vacqueyras 2010 Bottle
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 Bottle
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.

Fairly well balanced with prominent vanilla notes, but a little acrid and not smooth drinking.

Fantastic value - impressive complexity on the nose and palate. There's a notable salinity, which I enjoy. Overall, a very generous and drinkable wine.
