Dandelion Vineyards Lionheart Of The Barossa Mclaren Vale Shiraz 2012, Barossa Valley, South Australia, Australia: This full-bodied red wine has lip-smacking delicious aromas and flavours of black and purple fruit. Smooth and supple. Love the fact that this big shiraz is not filtered, giving us the full-on flavour experience. The grapes for this robust red wine come from vines 100 years old. The wine is open-fermented with wild yeast, then aged 18 months in French oak barrels, and is not fined nor filtered. This robust Australian Shiraz sources grapes from heirloom vineyards. Try this with lamb and rosemary. Drink: 2013-2018. 358127 14.50% XD 375 mL $11.95 Score: 92/100. April 4, 2015

Bodegas Muriel Reserva 2008, Rioja D.O.C.A., Spain: This lovely Spanish red wine is dusty and earthy with great structure, but it's not fruity in the least. Just a faint hint of dried blackberry on this Rioja red wine. Also dried herbs and an almost chalky finish in an attractive way. This full-bodied Spanish red wine is made from all Tempranillo. Finishes with espresso. Drink: 2013-2018. 276030 13.50% XD 750 mL $19.95 Score: 90/100. April 4, 2015
