Picked up lots of green pepper in this wine. It's alright. I would drink it again, but probably would not choose to BUY it again.

Smooth and light. Just enough bite to bake it interesting to the nose.

Leader-post QC: La Playa Block Selection Estate Reserve, 2009. $23.69 — It walks that fine line between New World onctueux and Old World refinement, letting both camps enjoy their glass with dinner. Great fruit, beautiful structure, lovely bouquet and a smoky astringent finish. Wonderful!
