2018 Domaine J Boulon Moulin A Vent – Rated 90 points Wine Enthusiast - This ripe wine has good structure.

2019 Natale Verga LOVE - Staff Comments: From Italy & Old World. Pomegranate seeds and dried figs on the nose. Lighter in style with choke cherries, briars, plums, and a hint of brambles.

Serve this with pasta primavera, grilled Ahi, or Marcona Almonds, was $16.99, sale $12.99.
2018 Le Clivie Valpolicella Ripasso Superiore - Intense ruby red colored wine with hints of black pepper and raisins in the aroma. Full and very intense flavor, spicy notes of ripe cherry.
