Sur de los Andes Reserva Malbec 2012, Mendoza, Argentina: Rich and full-bodied with an incredible price point. Layers of fleshy dark fruit cry out coffee grounds cry out for a meaty dish companion. Finishes with blackberry, blueberries, purple plum, cedar smoke and black plum notes. Terrific! Hidden among the rich black fruit flavour in this powerful wine are fleeting notes of violets to create an intriguing bouquet. Perfect for barbecues and back decks.

Dandelion Vineyards Lionheart Of The Barossa Shiraz 2015, Barossa, South Australia, Australia: This full-bodied red wine has lip-smacking delicious aromas and flavours of black and purple fruit.

Schild Estate Grenache Mourvèdre Shiraz 2014, Barossa Valley, South Australia, Australia: Oh yum. Comfort me with mourvèdre and other old bush vine grapes. Rich, complex and deep Australian red wine: exactly what you want in a partner (and in a wine). Full-bodied and smooth and inviting. The Schild family has been in the Barossa Valley for more than 60 years. Lots of complexity, depth and vibrancy in this richly rewarding wine. This is a blend of 45% Grenache, 28% Mourvèdre and 27% Shiraz grapes. Pair with brisket. Drink: 2016-2020. 108183 14.50% XD 750 mL  $19.95 Score: 93/100. September 2, 2017 Best Value Red Wine.

Ritual Pinot Noir 2015, Casablanca Valley, Chile: A lovely cherry-berry rich Chilean red wine made from the classic Pinot Noir grape. Supple and smooth with good balance. Reminds me of Carneros Pinot Noir, the cool climate of the Napa Valley. This winery hand harvests in small batches in the cool morning fog of the Casablanca Valley. They us gravity flow for gentler handling of the wine. Perfect for roast chicken or turkey. Drink: 2016-2025. 514182 14% XD 750 mL  $21.95 Score: 93/100. July 7, 2018 Top Rated Red Wine.
