Emiliana Adobe Reserva Syrah Rosé 2010, Rapel Valley, Chile: This organic rose I full-bodied, fruit-forward and a vibrant New World style. Bursting with rip raspberries and cranberries. Bring it on!

Montes Limited Selection Cabernet Sauvignon Carmenère 2010, Apalta Vineyard, Colchagua Valley, Chile: Vintages Wine Panel: This modern blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Carmenère is truly a superb value that shows the best of both varieties with its blueberry, plum, blackberry and spice flavours. It's dry and mouthfilling with plush fruit flavour and a lengthy finish. If you're a Cab lover looking for something a little different, then look no further. Hearty dishes with a bit of spice are a great match. My note: What crafty winemaking here! Just the right blend of the two grapes to produce a wine that is packed with dark fruit flavour but also has length, balance and depth. Pretty amazing for the price point! Drink: 2011-2014. 16071 14.50% XD 750 mL  $17.95 Score: 89/100. October 15, 2011 Best Value Red Wine. Full Review
