2016 Chakana Chardonnay Estate Selection, Argentina

Score: 
92
Grade: 
A-

Light gold in color with slight green.  On the nose, there is grapefruit and slight lumber.  Also some spice.  On the palate, there is a tart acidity which is very nice.  Grapefruit and citrus notes.  Long finish.  Really a quality Chardonnay for under $20, its hard to beat that value.  

2016 Jean Reverdy et Fils Sancerre La Reine Blanche, France, Loire Valley - Wine Review

Score: 
91
Grade: 
A

Always one of the better Sancerre's from the home of Sauvignon Blanc.  This one is a bit surprising though.  Blind, I might have guessed New Zealand.  The nose has that gooseberry quality and very fresh.  On the palate, the gooseberry continues thru.  Nice acidity.  Plenty of verve.  Should be great with food.  Nice finish.  Always a nice value.  

NV Graham Beck Brut Rosé, South Africa, Western Cape - Wine Review

Score:

Grade: 
A-

Even better than the regular Brut.  Another great value in sparkling wine from South Africa.  This has a pale silvery pink color.  The nose is elegant with slight cherries and minerals.  Nice mousse.  On the palate, very crisp acidity.  It begs for food but it fine on its own.  Light cherries and minerals.  Crisp finish.  Lovely wine.
