Duboeuf Gamay Nouveau 2013, Vin De Pays De L'ardeche
Beaujolais, France$6.60
Cherries, spices, and earthiness on the nose. More acidic than expected with plenty of tannin. Pretty good value at this price though.
Mommessin Beaujolais Nouveau 2013, Burgundy
Beaujolais, France$9.95
Cherries, banana, and spices on the nose. Somewhat bland with a flat structure. Avoid.
Yellow Tail Shiraz 2014, South Eastern Australia

Blackberry and spices on the nose. It has tons of ripe fruit and soft tannin. Smooth and good value.

Black plums and chocolate on the nose. It has soft tannins and plenty of fruit.
Carmen Chardonnay Reserva 2009

Lots of oak on the nose - it is actually somewhat overwooded. A bit lacking on the fruit on the palate.
Deakin Estate Shiraz 2010, Victoria
Australia$9.95
Blackberries, meat, and spices on the nose. It has plenty of fruit, but some green tannins. The wine is medium-bodied and good value at the price.
Trapiche Astica Sauvignon/Semillon 2011, Cuyo
Argentina$7.95
Beeswax, cut grass, peaches, and apricots on the nose. It has crisp acidity and is medium-bodied. Despite some creaminess the acidity is, however, someone overwhelming. Pretty good value nonetheless.
