This looks like a Malbec - bluey-red - but smells like a beaujolais nouveau!. This also tastes like the natural beaujolais nouveau I had in November but has more fruit. I would never guess this to be a malbec. Banana, blueberry, red fruits, some volatile acidity which means nail varnish, grainy structure.

Tayu 1865 Pinot Noir 2019, Viña San Pedro, Bucahuehico, D.O. Malleco, Chile
Cherries, strawberries, spice and an earthy liqourice finish. Simple but couldn't stop drinking this.

Lynx Black Label Reserve Petite Sirah 2019, House of Big Wines, California, USA
Reminds me of Bramble jelly jam, blackberry, blueberry, toast, and spice. Would be a nice uncomplicated slurp for a barbecue.

Vell Mari 2018, Can Xanet, Balearerna, Mallorca, Spain
I quite like this surprisingly given the bad reviews. It's a bit like a Blaufränkisch but with a warmer finish. Strawberries and cherries, liqourice and spice, a bit of burnt rubber. Warm finish.

Vina Chocolan Origen Gran Reserva Cabernet Franc 2019, Maipo Valley, Chile
Blackcurrant, raspberry, green pepper, milk chocolate, grippy tannic finish. I was expecting this to be a bit more lush given the 14.5% alcohol.

Bodega Norton Temprano Chardonnay 2019, Mendoza, Argentina
Apple, lemon, pineapple, earthy and minerally on the finish. High acid which makes for a juicy fruity wine. Fruit fades as wine warms up though.

The Dalmatian Dog 2018, Black Island Winery D.O.O., Primorska, Sjeverna Dalmacija, Croatia
Blueberry, raspberry, cherry. Quite acidic but it gives the wine a nice refreshing lift.

Greystone Organic Sauvignon Blanc 2019, Waipara Valley, North Canterbury, New Zealand
The first thing I got was passionfruit. Lots and lots of passionfruit then the lemon and a bit of blackcurrant and leafinesss kicked in. There is a slight honey sweetness here.
