The Wolftrap Syrah/Mourvèdre/Viognier 2011, Western Cape
South Africa$13.95
Black plums, spices, dark chocolate, and tar on the nose. It has lots of ripe fruit and softening tannins with a medium body. The alcohol stands out on this wine.

Vila Regia Reserva 2010, Douro Valley, Portugal
Portugal$11.95
Blackberry jam, plums, spices, leather, and earthiness on the nose. The wine is medium-bodied and has plenty of fruit, but it also has some rough tannins. Might improve slightly over the next 2-4 years.

Passion fruit, spices, and pears on the nose. It is light-bodied with a crisp acidity and a good amount of fruit. Value at this price point, but not overly exciting.

Mineral notes with melon and apples. The wine is light to medium-bodied and has a smooth texture with some healthy acidity. Drinks well, but nothing exciting.
