Pintia 2005, Do Toro
Spain$64.95
A very pleasing wine. The Pintia, which is 100% Tempranillo, was very dark in the glass. The nose was slightly earthy with dark fruits, cassis, oak and a hint of chocolate.
The flavour was deep and complex with a long, slightly dry finish. It gave you the feeling of a vineyard in a hot, dusty plain. This is wine that leaves you wanting to take the next sip.

Château De Beaucastel Châteauneuf-du-pape 2006
Rhône, France$89.95
Extremely well balanced with a rounded, mature flavour this wine was exactly what should be expected for this price point and label.

Firestone Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, Santa Ynez Valley
California, Usa$19.90
An excellent California wine displaying the signature traits expected - a hot, full wine with a generous amount of oak. This was a nice treat, and would pair well with anything on the grill.

Henry Of Pelham Speck Family Reserve Baco Noir 2014, VQA Ontario
Ontario, Canada$24.95
This might be the best bottle of Ontario wine I have ever tasted. It was superbly deep and complex with earthy, blackberry overtones. The length was excellent, and all around the table fought over the last drops in the bottle.

Barossa Valley Estate Ebenezer Shiraz 2008, Barossa Valley, South Australia
South Australia, Australia$39.95
A couple more years seems to have smoothed out this bottle a bit. It was still powerful and deep - as you would expect from Barossa - but was also pretty silky on the tongue. Black currants, mineral, oak spice and enough tannins to ago for a while more.
