Tormaresca Torcicoda Primitivo 2014
Puglia, Italy$20.95
Concentrated ripe plum, fig and cherry, spice and lots of oak. There are many "authentic" or"traditional" traits to this wine, but the oak treatment acts as a mask, like bad makeup, which results in an artificial and 'sugarfied' with cheap California-esque homogeneity. This is practised too often in Puglian primitivo's (and in many commercialized italian wines designated for the US market). For now, safer bets remain the negroamaro's, nero di troia's and the many value driven whites from the region

Taurino 7° Ceppo Salento 2011
Italy$24.20
Typical Italian savory character, loads of dark fruit, tannin and body. It is well structured and textured. A BIG, straightforward wine, in no way nuanced. Good for bbq or braised meats

Pascal Jolivet Attitude Sauvignon Blanc 2015
Loire, France$16.75
Typical / solid SB from the Loire. Citrus with a hint of chalk and grass. Lacks a bit of weight and falls a bit flat during transition to finish, definitely nice for the price.

Celler Piñol Portal Criança 2013, Do Terra Alta
Spain$17.25
Loads of concentration, raisinated fruit, cream of currant, some woody/tabacco aromas and a velvety texture. Big wine, a bomb...but one that works in blending new and old

Jean François Mériau Le Bois Jacou Gamay 2015, Touraine
Loire, France$20.95
A decent entry level gamay from the loire. Red fruit, loire style chalky mouthfeel. At risk of sounding redundant, tastes like gamay from the loire.

M.Chapoutier Tournon Mathilda 2014, Victoria
Victoria, Australia$13.25
Very good value rhone blend form australia. The nose is engaging, with lots of ripe tropical fruit, floral and a greenness almost reminiscent of austraulian reds.
