Rocca delle Macìe
Vernaiolo Chianti Sangiovese Blend 2015
Decided to revisit Chianti and was very pleased that this is the one I chose. Delicious, and not as heavy as some Chianti can be.
"Produced in the region of Tuscany in central Italy. A medium-bodied red wine suitable to accompany meats and game. Serve at 60-65•F." — 9 years ago

Foral Douro Red Blend 2015
Not bad, but can't compete with Villa Regia. Wouldn't revisit. Blends Tinta Roriz, Touraga Franca, and Tinta Barroca.
"This dry wine is fruity, full of character, and well-balanced with a good finish. A perfect accompaniment to pasta, poultry, veal, lamb, or just enjoyed on its own." — 9 years ago

A new favourite. This 2008 Tempranillo is bold and spicy and gets me every time.
"In the timeless Spanish winemaking tradition, Anciano Gran Reserva is matured in oak barrels for at least 18 months, and in our cellars, to achieve its fine complexity and mellow oak character. It has smooth vanilla notes, rich black cherry fruit and subtle hints of leathers, balsamic, and spice. Drinking well now. Enjoy with roast lamb and other grilles meats, a hearty casserole, or mature cheeses." — 9 years ago
