2014 Château la Commanderia de Saint Génis



Nice Bordeaux. It's milder than most Bordeaux wines, 70% Merlot, 25% Cabernet Franc and only 5% Cabernet Cauvignon. Very interesting nose, mix of flowers and ripe berries, mostly strawberries. Taste with a strong note of ripe, on edge of being overriped, strawberry.
Was pretty good with smoked salmon pizza.

Root 1 Carmenere


Very good red from Chile. Never tried wines from this kind of grapes, it's mostly grown in Chile. Nice, powerful taste. Complex taste. Would buy again if price is right.

La Promenade



Another good Rosé from Provence. Interesting. Initial reaction: it'd honey dissolved in wine. Then you start noticing complexities. Some spices, some summer meadow in the aftertaste. Will buy it again.

2016 Bieler Pére & Fils



Very nice Rosé from Provence. Good combination of honey and spices. Was nice with seafood pizza.

2016 Haut Vol.

French Mediterranian coast Rosé. Not as classy as rose wines from Provence, but good overall. Hints of honey and spices, a little bit of sugar.

2016 Radio Boca Rosé

Good spanish Rosé. I liked red Rioja of that company, Rosé is pretty good too.

2014 Château Garreau

Classic Bordeaux. No sugar at all.
