Santa Carolina Reserva De Familia Cabernet Sauvignon 2009, Maipo Valley
Maipo Valley, Chile$17.95
Very nice, dense, full-bodied Cabernet-Sauvignon with a long, smooth finish. When I saw how dark this wine was when I poured the first glass, I had the feeling this would be an enjoyable experience...which was comfirmed with the first glass. Safe bet when you have guests. Going back to buy some more and repeat this nice experience. Tasted January 2012.

Terredora Aglianico 2010, Igt Campania
Campania, Italy$16.95
Classic Italian wine that comes from a region south of Naples, Italy. Very impressive wine for the price. Will get better after some decanting. Tasted December 2013.

Chåteau Moncontour Demi Sec Vouvray 2011, Ac
Loire, France$17.95
I agree with the critic reviews that this wine is quite earthy and honeyed / creamy. However, I found its greenness a bit distracting from the overall impression. Tasted May 2014.

Tuscany, Italy$0.00
In line with a typical Chianti Classico. Took a good hour in the decanter before I truly appreciated it. Tasted October 2014.

Domaine Cauhapé Chant Des Vignes Dry Jurancon 2013, Ac
Southwest, France$16.95
Impressive wine but not necessarily a crowd pleaser. When you start drinking it, it tastes like a Sauvignon Blanc...but then the acidity kicks in... All in all, a high quality wine. Tasted July 2015.

Chateau De Gourgazaud 2009, Minervois
Languedoc, France$12.95
Wow, now I really understand what all the fuss is about. Very nice, smooth, full body wine based on Syrah and Mourvèdre. And what a bargain at that price. For those of you that are big fans of Australian Shiraz, this is a great intro to French-style Shiraz. Enjoy ! Tasted January 2012.

Fontanafredda Barolo 2010
Piedmont, Italy$29.95
Great wine and I totally agree with Bill's advice to let it decant for a few hours. It took 3 hours of decanting before I fully enjoyed it. Consider this wine for special occasions. Tasted September 2015.

Vitalonga Terra Di Confine 2006, Igt Umbria
Umbria, Italy$22.95
Very dark colour which announced it would be heavier than other Montepulciano wines. Still has a tannic edge to it (but no more greenness), which went away after 30 minute of decanting. Nice complexity to this wine and decent long finish. Tasted April 2014.

Collin Bourisset Douce Folie Saint Amour 2011
Beaujolais, France$16.75
Light-to-medium-bodied & fruity wine that was quite tart at the start but opened up nicely after 30-60 minutes. All in all, a solid value in the Beaujolais universe. Tasted November 2013.
