Trig Point Diamond Dust Merlot Alexander Valley, Sonoma, CA 2022 @ $21.99: Vivino: The wine is full-bodied and powerful in the mouth with wood behind the fruit. Fresh black raspberry, cedar, and toasty vanilla aromas, with cherry, black currant, and spice flavors.

Mollydooker The Boxer Shiraz 2021 McLaren Vale, South Australia @ $29.99: Winemaker notes: WHO IS THE BOXER? ‘Mollydooker’ is old Aussie slang for a left handed boxer and our Boxer always punches well above his Fruit Weight™. Did you notice he has two left-handed gloves? TASTING NOTES: The 2022 Boxer boasts a robust foundation of dark fruit, black cherries, mocha, and a hint of clove spice that comes alive in the glass. Its velvety texture delivers notes of fresh plum, balanced tannins, and a subtle touch of toasted oak, all of which enhance the richness of the fruit.

Corazón Del Sol Malbec 2020 Los Chacayes Uco Valley, Argentina @ $26.99: Winemaker notes: This Malbec is the freshest and most fruity of our Malbec family. Showcasing aromas of red fruits, spice, and desert flora, it is aged in used French Oak barrels.

Bodegas Vatan Tinta de Toro (a town in Zamora province, Spain) Tempranillo 2018 @ $29.99: Jeb Dunnuck: The 2018 Vatan shows a fresher, brighter style, with plenty of blue fruits, peppery herbs, graphite, and chalky minerality. Medium to full-bodied on the palate, it has good acidity, a focused, elegant mouthfeel, and outstanding length.
