Rustenberg John X Merriman 2013, Wo Simonsberg Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch, South Africa$24.95
After waiting a while longer, this wine was much smoother. A little age suited it well.
Original review:
Classic Bordeaux taste at South African prices. Flavours of blackberries and earth permeate this deeply flavoured wine. Needs to be open for a few hours before drinking, or age for a few more years.

Southern Right Pinotage 2015, Hemel En Aarde
Walker Bay, South Africa$34.95
Absolutely the best pinotage I have ever had. Incredibly expressive floral nose with violets, blackberries and spices. Pallete was rustic, but refined and had a very large presence. Will buy again.

Malivoire Small Lot Gamay 2016, Niagara Peninsula
Ontario, Canada$19.95
Very fruity and light, with an almost carbonated quality on the palette and high acidity. This should be served with food. When it all comes down to it, the wine appeared very well made - it just didn't match our tastes.

Culmina R & D Red Blend 2014, BC VQA Golden Mile Bench, Okanagan Valley
British Columbia, Canada$21.75
Definitely an above average wine. Solid, deep, dark fruit flavours are displayed with a generous amount of oak. The mouth feel is very full and smooth and the finish is quite long.
