2019 Finca Sobreno Toro Crianza...$19.99
100% Tempranillo
"The color of blueberry preserves, this wine offers a bouquet of blackberry, coffee bean and dried thyme. Coffee transitions to the palate as well, joined by cassis, purple plum, black olive paste, orange zest and cocoa butter flavors, wrapped in a cocoon of velvety tannins that drift into a lasting mocha-scented finish. - Mike DeSimone"
Rated 93/100 The Wine Enthusiast

2020 Chateau Carbonneau Sequoia Sainte Foy Bordeaux...$19.99
Black fruits give a solid feel to this wine. It has weight, supported by the tannins, plus fine acidity to back it all up. The wine is still young, drink from 2025.
Rated 90/100 The Wine Enthusiast
An elegant garnet color. The nose is complex, made of red fruit, highlighted by fresh spices and clove. It is a fleshy wine with smooth tannins. The long palate is underlined by black fruit with a hint of toast. The wine is ready to be drunk now or can be aged for another 5 to 10 years.

2019 Xavier Vignon Cotes Du Rhone Vieilles Vignes...$24.99
The deep black-cherry and ripe-blackberry fruit, plus the full, soft body push this to the edge of sweetness on the palate. However, the gentle dry tannins at the velvety finish just keep it on track. A style that now seems a bit dated, but plenty of wine drinkers love this. Drink now."
Rated 90/100 James Suckling

2020 Guarda Rios Red Blend Portugal...$14.99
"Ripe vine fruits, blackberry, chocolate and vanilla on the nose followed by juicy acidity in the mouth with ripe, supple tannins and notes of black olive, tobacco and garrigue on the palate."
Rated 97/100 Decanter Magazine

2021 Thistledown Grenache McLaren Vale Thorny Devil...$27.99
Aromas of savory spice, hung deli meat and blood fill the senses, but it is in the mouth where the purity and succulence of the fruit is revealed. This 2021 Thorny Devil Grenache is long and savory, sweet and fine, built into a framework of pliable tannin and exotic spice. Balanced and exciting.
Rated 95/100 The Wine Advocate

2019 Casas del Bosque Cabernet Sauvignon Reserva....$14.99
Wood treatment: 100% French Oak
Red and black currants, mulberries, bramble leaves, peppermint, spice box and peppercorns on the nose. Medium-bodied with firm, well-integrated tannins. Sleek and classically styled with excellent balance. Sustainable. Drink now or hold.
Rated 92/100 James Suckling
