ARGENTINA – RED WINE DOMAINE BOUSQUET RESERVE CABERNET SAUVIGNON 2023 Tupungato, Valle de Uco, Mendoza, vegan

KONZELMANN RESERVE SERIES BARREL AGED SYRAH 2022 6 VQA Niagara Peninsula

Full throttle syrah with cracked black pepper and a fruit-drenched palate with berries that transit from red to black and blue. Unbelievably perfumed violet expressed on both nose and palate, tannins that are smooth as silk, and a posh gloss of oak. Hedonistic syrah that impressed in a blind tasting, and gets an extra point for great value. Tasted blind NWAC 2024. Score: 93 (D.J. Kearney, wine align.com) Medium-bodied & Fruity 48387 (XD) 750 ml $24.95 2

85% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Malbec. Ripe and powerful nose, showing aromas of blackcurrant, blackberry, liquorice, cedar and savoury undertones. Chocolatey palate, with firm tannins. Score: 91 (Decanter World Wine Awards, 2024) Full-bodied & Firm 46398 (XD) 750 ml $19.95 2 Featured in Good Partners 4 Organic product

ZUCCARDI Q MALBEC 2023 Valle de Uco, Mendoza, sustainable

RAVINE MERITAGE 2021 6 VQA Niagara Lakeshore, Niagara-on-the-Lake

Brooding and inky. Lots of warm stone, mussel shells and iodine to the deep, fresh purple fruit and violets. Broad and nicely chewy and fresh on the palate with a full body and a long, pristine and tightly wound finish. Grapes from Paraje Altamira and Los Chacayes. Better in two more years. Score: 93 (Zekun Shuai, jamessuckling.com, Feb. 6, 2024) Full-bodied & Firm 723478 (XD) 750 ml $23.95 2

Nice aromatics here, herbal, smoky, properly medicinal lively red and black fruit, fresh. Tannins are light and acids are juicy. Works so well. Not a blockbuster but pleasure. Tasted blind at the NWACs 2024. Score: 90 (John Szabo, MS, winealign.com) Medium-bodied & Fruity 285627 (XD) 750 ml $24.95 2

CHILE – WHITE WINE TRASIEGO GREEN QUARTZ SAUVIGNON BLANC 2023 Valle de Casablanca

ROSEWOOD LOW FIDELITY 2021 6 VQA Twenty Mile Bench, Niagara Escarpment

The 2023 Sauvignon Blanc Green Quartz comes from Casablanca. Yellow in color, it offers scents of yellow bell pepper, mint, lime and grapefruit with lovely aromatic clarity. Dry, vibrant and fruity, the palate delivers refreshing brightness and a long finish. Expressive and flavorful, it is very New-World in style while retaining notable flavor definition. Drinking window: 2024-2028. Score: 92 (Joaquín Hidalgo, vinous.com, May 29, 2024) Aromatic & Flavourful 47080 (XD) 750 ml $16.95 2

Youthful, displaying oak aromas with a touch of liquorice on the nose. Ripe dark fruits, dried herbs and smoky flavours. Juicy with soft tannins and a harmonious finish. Drinking window: 2023-2030. Score: 91 (Panel, decanter.com, Sept. 11, 2023) Light-bodied & Fruity 48393 (XD) 750 ml $35.95 2
