Walnut Crest - Cabernet Sauvignon - 2006
Black cherries. Not over-oaked or too dry. Gary Vaynerchuk gave this an 86+. I don’t really get the “petrol” he found, but I can sort of see it. Amazing value from Chile — again.

Vila Regia - Douro - 2004
A fine effort from the buzz-worthy Douro region of Portugal. Vegetal on the nose, very dry on the finish. A bargain.
