19 Crimes Cabernet Sauvignon 2015, South Australia, Australia: A terrific, full-bodied, well-structured Australian red wine made from the classic Cabernet Sauvignon grape. This wine offers aromas of minty blackberry, toasty oak and dark spice. On the palate, it's savoury, meaty, and juicy mouth-watering. Perfect for prime rib.

Lan Gran Reserva Tempranillo 2005, D.O.C.A., Rioja, Spain: Subtle and complex with aromas of cigar box, leather, violets and black cherry. Full-bodied and mouth-watering. Love the taste and feel of maturity in this wine. It's hard to find wines with this much age on the liquor store shelf at this reasonable price. Drinking well now though will also keep in the cellar for a few years. Drink: 2012-2016. 928622 13.50% XD 750 mL  $34.95 Score: 91/100. September 14, 2013 Best Beef Wine Full Review
