Mission Hill Family Estate Five Vineyards Cabernet Merlot 2011, Okanagan Valley, BC VQA, Canada: Robust and tannic, needs some cellar time and an hour of decanting. This full-bodied blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot is sourced from five vineyards on the winery's estate. Dark fruit, tarry notes and smoky oak. Good with a rare steak.

Ménage à Trois Red 2012, California, United States: Fleshy black raspberry and cherry on the nose of this terrifically tasty Californian red wine blend of Zinfandel, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. The name is fun, but don't let that mislead you into thinking that this isn't a seriously good wine. Pair with roast beef for three ;) Drink: 2013-2016. 308007 13.50% D 750 mL  $18.95 Score: 90/100.

Apothic Dark 2013, California, United States: Liquid fudge, coffee dark roast: a very sweet wine that could almost be consumed for dessert. Highly confected; this reminds me of a marketing-driven "concept wine" that makes a bridge to wine for Coca Cola drinkers. Drink: 2013-2015. 392654 13.50% M 750 mL  $17.95 Score: 87/100.
