Tangley Oaks Terlato Wines Cabernet Sauvignon 2010, California, United States: Round, full-bodied and plummy with mouth-watering acidity for a range of dishes. Balanced, very classic California cabernet. Aromas of cassis, blackberry and blackcurrant wrapped in a warm, rich blanket of toasty oak and banilla smoke. Lovely finish.

Les Tourelles De Longueville La Compagnie Medociane Des Grands Meritage 2009, Bordeaux, France: Love this full-bodied, classic Bordeaux.
