Porta 6 2013, V R Lisboa
Portugal$13.95
A very easy drinking, moderately weighted wine with ripe red fruit flavours. Excellent for the price with good length. Paired well with pasta.
Joel Gott 815 Cabernet Sauvignon 2013, California
California, Usa$22.95
A soft wine showing medium levels of acid and tannins and showing a lovely ruby colour in the glass. There is a slightly sweet finish, with flavours of red fruits (cherries, strawberries) dominating.
Tasted blind at a Beefsteak & Burgundy Club event, May 2016.
Rustenberg Rm Nicholson 2013, Wo Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch, South Africa$16.95
I purchased this as I was so impressed with the Rustenberg Merlot (#404194). This wine has a full nose loaded with leather, tobacco, savory herbs and dark fruit. The wine has moderate length and, as Dave Lawrason described, a very tea-like finish. However, i just did not come together in the elegant and composed way that I wanted it to; it was a big rough around the edges.
