Querciabella 2007 Chianti Classico - Sangiovese Red Wine
Red Wine by Querciabella from Tuscany, Italy. A blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon.
critical acclaim:
The 2007 Chianti Classico Querciabella is a fragrant, perfumed red. Silky tannins frame a core of cherries, sweet spices and tobacco as this elegant wine opens up in the glass and puts on weight with air. In recent years the Querciabella has established itself as one of Tuscany's top Chianti Classicos, as it is again in 2007. The Querciabella is 95% Sangiovese and 5% Cabernet Sauvignon. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2017

Rutherglen Estates 2006 Reunion - Rhone Blends Red Wine
Red Wine by Rutherglen Estates from Victoria, Australia. Composition: Mourvedre 58%; Shiraz 24%; Grenache 18%
critical acclaim:
Bright red. Intensely perfumed bouquet of spicy red berries, flowers and minerals. Tangy and sharply focused, offering juicy raspberry and cherry flavors, with fine-grained tannins providing shape and grip. A fresh, open-knit wine that is all about sweet fruit right now. Finishes with excellent cut and persistence

Innocent Bystander 2010 Pink Moscato (375ML half-bottle)
Wine by Innocent Bystander from Victoria, Australia.
Traditionally a sweet wine with a little frizzante (meaning light fizz), Moscato is known for its aromatic qualities and low alcohol content. Australians have been charmed by this frivolous...
critical acclaim:
Pale, lurid pink. Fresh lime, peach and raspberry preserves on the nose, with hints of tangerine and flowers adding complexity. Juicy, gently sweet red berry and pit fruit flavors are given a tangy bite by suggestions of white pepper and citrus zest. Juicy, off-dry and extremely easy to drink, especially if you have a bit of a sweet tooth. Reminds me a bit of an adult raspberry limeade. This would be great with a cheese and fruit course

Altanza 2006 Lealtanza Crianza - Tempranillo Red Wine
Red Wine by Altanza from Rioja, Spain. Aspect:Intense and very clean garnet red. Nose: Complex and elegant blend of fruits of the variety and its ageing in quality French oak. Not fully evolved; lively, clean and pleasant. Mouth...
critical acclaim:
Bodegas Altanza's 2006 Lealtanza Crianza is 100% Tempranillo fermented with native yeasts (as are each of these wines) and aged for 12 months in French and American oak. Dark ruby-colored, it displays an enticing nose of cedar, spice box, tobacco, leather, and blackberry. Smooth-textured and elegant on the palate, it has ample savory fruit, good volume, and enough ripe tannin to evolve for 1-2 years. This lengthy effort will offer prime drinking from 2012 to 2018.
