2009 Avanti Mencia tart fruit dark earthy tones.. not a lot of fruit showing through.. Mencia another name for Cabernet Franc in Spain.
Cataldi Madonna Montepulciano d' Abruzzo dark purple with a traditional earthy, leather nose. juicy and earthy... a definite find for mid priced wines
Tres Picos 2009 Garnacha iodine and iron.. dark fruits.. need time to open up I think,, usually a great wine
Trentadue Old Patch Red.. some fruit on the nose and bing cherry red fruits but no depth on the palate. a little disappointing
