Berne Inspiration Côtes de Provence 2017 Rosé, $16.99-$19.99, 90 points, was a medium salmon pink color.
Lovely aromas of strawberry, after-the-storm smells (petrichor), and a soft floral vibe were excellent.
Light-bodied Rosé with good acidity and flavors reflective of the aromas was delicious.
Finished on the fading palate, rising ginger, floral watermelon flavors, and a well-balanced 13% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with my spicy Mexican cuisine.
With great flavor, price (QPR), and 'tablescape' presence, this is an amazing choice to bless your guests.

IL Paradiso Di Frassina 'Moz Art Wine' 2013 Brunello di Montalcino (D.O.C.G.), $50.99-$59.99, 93 points, poured core carmine grading to vermilion to crimson reds with a broad clear wine ring and moderately heavy legs.
Aromas of roses, toasty red cherry, and black tea were excellent.
Medium-bodied red wine with bright acidity and a firm plank of tannin managed to righteously deliver the aromas onto the palate with violets, black olives, and hints of truffles.
Finished strong on the fading palate, easy pepper spices, oak, and a spot-on 13.5% alcohol.
Paired perfectly with my Ollie's loaded pizza.

Masi Serego Alighieri Bello Ovile Rosso Di Toscana 2015 IGT, $13.99-$24.99, 87 points, poured deep ruby reds with a clear meniscus and arches of stained sticky legs.
Aromas of red raspberry jam, a floral vibe, and sweet black tea were good.
Medium-bodied red wine with appropriate acidity and a mellow underlayment of tannin showed loads of red fruit on the palate nuanced with blueberry and black tea.
Finished fair on the trailing palate, complementary hints of jasmine, eucalyptus, and Italian spice with a comfortable 13% alcohol.
Varietals were 80% Sangiovese, 15% Canaiolo, and 5% Ciliegiolo.

Château Trianon Grand Cru de Saint-Émilion 2015 Bordeaux Red Wine, $25.49-$29.99, 90 points, poured deep dark ruby reds with a broad clear wine ring and dense copious tears.
Aromatic red and black fruit were floral and lovely.
The Trianon red wine was a dense full-bodied wine with fair-plus acidity and drying grainy pervasive tannins.
Fighting through the strident tannins, upfront flavors of red fruits prefaced the too young a wine deliciously, but making it difficult at this time to ferret-out any tertiary flavors, especially with the intense 14.5% alcohol inspirited hot pepper spices on the finish, but nuanced mint, iron, and toast on the end were quite good.
Paired well with our Texas burgers.

Three Brooms Marlborough (NZ) 2018 Sauvignon Blanc, $14.44-$16.99, 88 points, was a very light gold color clearing toward the glass shallows.
Aromatic musty citrus fruits, especially tangerine, with nuanced gooseberry were powerfully fragrant.
Light, crisp, and delicious on and throughout the palate; flavors reflective of the aromas replete with grapefruit and gooseberry nuanced with a hint guava were geographically typical.
Finished on the fading palate and an accommodating 13.5% alcohol.
