Scarbolo Ilramato Pinot Grigio 2022, D.O.C. Friuli Bottle
Scarbolo Ilramato Pinot Grigio 2022, D.O.C. Friuli
Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy
$29.19

Orange in colour, looks good in the glass. Quite nice with citrus and berry aromas and some peppery notes. I liked the herbal and berry territory it moved into. Certainly not your typical Italian PG.

Bartier Bros. Syrah Cerqueira Vineyard 2018, Okanagan Valley

$34.59

Concentrated fruit balanced with some tannin and nice fresh acidity. Youthful at this time so probably has room to age further. (September 2023)

Palavrar Vinhas Velhas Red 2017, Duoro Bottle
Palavrar Vinhas Velhas Red 2017, Duoro
Douro, Portugal
$34.09

I found this wine to be fresher than expected for a Douro red. It had a nice tinge of acidity. At the same time, a good depth of fruit as well. Very food friendly.
Tasted August, 2024.

Featherstone Phoenix 2020, VQA Niagara Peninsula Bottle
Featherstone Phoenix 2020, VQA Niagara Peninsula

$18.95

A very good gewurz at this price, in a dry, rich and round Alsatian style. Floral nose with melon, spice and floral flavours. The warm 2020 vintage shows. Enjoyed this wine.

Crisp, flavourful and food friendly. Mineral with lots of citrus. Apricot and a mushroom earthiness in the background. Dry in style and really quite good.

Three Saints Happy Canyon Cabernet Sauvignon 2017, Santa Ynez Valley Bottle

Everything harmoniously balanced. Some complexity of flavour. Polished yet I found lacking in tension or structure. Good wine but not good value in my mind.

Lipsmackingly juicy and fresh. Lots of intensity. Drinks well now as a sipper or versatile food wine. I liked the spine of acidity.

Haselgrove Catkin Shiraz 2018, Mclaren Vale Bottle
Haselgrove Catkin Shiraz 2018, Mclaren Vale
South Australia, Australia
$37.95

Super concentrated and still youthful in Sept/2023. Mouth-coating. Needs rich food to pair with. Powerful wine which I felt took away from the balance somewhat.
