Rocca Delle Macie Chianti Classico 2016, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$18.95
This is a typical Chianti that's offers a lot for the money. It has a lovely harmonious nose with aromas of red cherry and raspberry fruit with some herbal and forest floor notes. There is some vibrancy to the palate with a degree of elegance and a dry fruity and mildly tannic finish. Very good length. Try with a Bolognese sauce. Best 2018 to 2020. Tasted August 2017.

Mitolo Jester Shiraz 2018, Mclaren Vale
South Australia, Australia$22.95
Superstar winemaker Ben Glaetzer isn't clowning around with this opulent Shiraz, a blockbuster with notes of chocolate, fresh rye bread, prune, toast and vanilla. Enjoy with spicy mushroom pasta, chicken wings, ribs or rare roast beef.

Herdade São Miguel Colheita Seleccionada Tinto 2020, Vinho Regional Alentejano
Portugal$17.95
A blend of 50% Alicante Bouschet, 30% Touriga Nacional, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Syrah, this wine is bursting with ripe raspberry, mulberry and plum fruit backed by spicy black pepper, coconut and menthol. Pour with pasta, poultry or soft cheeses.[The Portugal Wine Trophy competition did not include a tasting note.] Score - Gold. (Portugal Wine Trophy, 2021)
A local-international blend of grapes, this "selected harvest" from the Alentejo pours a deep red ruby colour, and offers a waft of ripe black fruit on the nose mingled with Mediterranean scrub, scorched earth, and wood spice. It's supple and broad on the palate, warming at 14% alcohol declared, and with moderate tannins and firm acid backbone. Length and depth are good - a solid mouthful for the money, well made, stylish, with character. Drink or hold 2-4 years.
