Renteria
Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2012
Delicious dark fruit, slightly jammy aroma. Smooth tannins and very well balanced for a 4 year old. Blueberry, plum, blackberry, & vanilla notes with well balanced acid. Drink now and for the next 4 to 6 years. Tasted 2012 vintage in January of 2016. This is a $60 - $70 bottle of wine that tastes exactly the way a Cabernet should. — 10 years ago

Il Vescovado
Chianti Sangiovese 2013
Very approachable and easy to drink at 12% alcohol. Medium acid and medium/light body as opposed to most Chianti. The light tannins make for a shorter, less intense finish than typical Sangiovese blends. Mellow spice, blackberry, cherry, vanilla notes are uncovered by a balanced texture on the palette. Don't let the $13 price mislead you. Excellent buy making an exceptional wine value. Drink now, with or without food. Tasted 2013 vintage, January 2016. Limited locations in this country (USA). Ask for it. Enjoy!! — 10 years ago
