Pérez Cruz Limited Edition Carmenère 2015
Maipo Valley, Chile
Wonderfully rich and concentrated red wine, yet savory and mouth-watering too. Full-bodied goodness in this Carmenère without being heavy. Nice balance and length. Offers aromas of black plum, smoke and dark spice on the finish. The Carmenère grape originates from the Bordeaux region of France and was first planted in Chile in the nineteenth century.

Rivera Il Falcone Riserva Castel Del Monte 2011
Puglia D.O.C.G., Italy
This robust Italian red wine is made in one of the more southerly wine regions of the country, where the grapes ripen to full flavour and depth. The 2011 vintage of the Rivera Il Falcone is a blend of mostly Nero di Troia grapes and some Montepulciano grapes. Savoury, smoky and brooding with fleshy black fruit aromas and flavours. Ultra-delicious and smooth already in texture. Southern Italy has undergone a quality revolution. Taste this red to see what I mean. Pair this wine with hearty meat dishes
