Le Fonti Di Panzano Chianti Classico Riserva 2011, Docg
Tuscany, Italy$33.75
Deep, balanced and quite refined. A beautiful bottle of chianti to pair with food.

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.

Paul Hobbs Crossbarn Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, Sonoma County
California, Usa$49.95
The nose on this wine showed some cooler notes, with flavours of licorice and smoke in the background. There was also a bit of a paper-like note that dissipated over time. Overall, a bit unremarkable.
Tasted blind at a Beefsteak & Burgundy Club event, May 2016.

Remo Farina Le Pezze Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico 2012, Docg
Veneto, Italy$37.95
Really quite excellent. Amarones have a tendency to be overly sweet, but this wine was balanced with a nice level of tannins to leave the palette somewhat refreshed and not overwhelmed. A really nice expression of the grapes which made everyone go for another glass.
