Cederberg Shiraz 2015, Wo Cederberg
South Africa$20.75
Hugely expressive with deep, dark cassis, earth and violets. For the price, it is simply sensational.

La Dame De Malescot 2009, Ac Margaux, 2nd Wine Of Château Malescot St Exupéry
Bordeaux, France$37.25
When first tasted it had not opened up enough and was really tannic. After another hour or two, the wine opened right up and showed sweet cherry flavours and a medium dry, smooth finish.

Quinta Das Carvalhas Touriga Nacional 2011, Doc Douro
Douro, Portugal$21.95
Lovely and full wine with aromas of vanilla, lavender and black fruit. Soft on the palette with a very long finish. This wine will be even better in a few years, but is very enjoyable right now.

Santa Carolina Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva 2014, Colchagua Valley
Colchagua Valley, Chile$13.95
A nice, simple red. The aromas are balanced with notes of oak, blackberries, cherries and leather. The taste is not as deep as the nose - but this pairs well with food. I just think that there are better wines available at the same price (particularly primitivos, if you want a fruit forward wine)
