2007 Cusumano Merlot Sicilia 87 Points
Italy, Sicily, Sicilia
4/17/09: Chocolate, olive and dark red fruits. Well balanced, not gooey, or over oaked, or green or any of that stuff. Just really nice fruit supported by a little bit of chocolate, olives and a streak of acidity. NOt very often I find a merlot of this quality at this price, or even at double this price. 88
4/1/09: Here's a surprise. Great fruit, with terrific brightness on this wine. A little bit of olive component, but it adds complexity instead of veering into veggie territory. A really solid merlot. 86-87Post a Comment / Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No

Very Chilean. Rubber, funk. Some nice fruit on the palate. Actually pretty good, under $15, give it a go, otherwise, no.

2007 Domaine Giachino Vin de Savoie Abymes Tradition 87 Points
France, Savoie, Vin de Savoie Abymes
4/18/09: Lemony, very bright. Not a lot of fruit, but some saline notes. A good sub for a sauv blanc. Perfect for seafood done simply. 86-87
4/1/09: Lots of minerally notes. Bright style, with lime and saline qualities coming through. Very good though. 88+Post a Comment / Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No
2007 Bodegas Valdesil Valdeorras MonteNovo 86 Points
Spain, Galicia, Valdeorras
Bright lemon lime aromas. Rich, a little sweet. Not as balanced as I would like. Good for the price, but the sweetness doesn't seem to work with this, and I prefer the dry styles of Godello much more. 85-87

2007 Domaine Lafage Côtes Catalanes Côte Est 88 Points
France, Languedoc Roussillon, Roussillon, Côtes Catalanes
4/17/09: Medium bodied, with honeyed melons the first thing that comes to mind. Also citrusy, but in a round way. Surprisingly long finish. Low acidity, with a richer, fuller feel, but the fruit gives it such a nice brightness. This is delicious. 88+
4/1/09: Wow, is this a rocking bottle of wine. Beautifully aromatic nose. On the palate, it's round, with lovely citrus and tropical fruits. Just beauitful. Fantastic price, too. My notes from the tasting: Buy! Buy! 88+Post a Comment / Do you find this review helpful? Yes - No

2007 Gramona Penedès Gessamí 87 Points

Crazy floral nose, lots of white flowers. Really beautiful. A little sweet, but this is quite good. The price isn't as hot a so many of these amazing Spanish whites, though. 87-88

2006 Château Pesquié Ventoux Terrasses 88 Points
France, Rhône, Southern Rhône, Ventoux
I thought I'd be a little more impressed with this wine. Pretty ripe on the nose, with a little funk. Good acid, but just a little over the top for me. Especially for a CDV. Still, it's pretty damn tasty. 87-88+

2007 Altovinum Evodia 88 Points
Spain, Aragón, Calatayud
Oh, I am all over this wine. Bright berry aromas. Pretty ripe, but it's yummy. Anise on the palate. Nice finish. This is tasty!

2007 Bodegas Castaño Monastrell Yecla 87 Points
Spain, Murcia, Yecla
Very ripe, rich nose. Some nice licorice notes on this wine. Much better then the '06 I had a few months ago. Pretty fat, with lots of glycoral notes, and a little overberried.

2005 Domaine Thunevin-Calvet Cuvée Constance 86 Points
France, Languedoc Roussillon, Roussillon, Côtes du Roussillon Villages
So I loved this exactly one year ago, but not so much now. The ripeness is a little much to overcome. I'm not sure if the wine has changed, because I don't really remember it last time. One thing I do know, the price is higher.

2007 Yalumba Viognier The Y Series 87 Points
Australia, South Australia
Good fruit. Nice acidity. Has a natural, what reminds me of wild yeasts, even though it's probably something else. Good, and not a peachy fruit bomb, and no bitterness on the finish. 87+

2007 Yalumba Grenache Bush Vine 86 Points

I've never been a huge fan of the regular bottling of Yalumba's grenache. It's good, with bright fruit. But not really exciting. 86+?
