Alta Vista Premium La Casa Del Ray Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, Mendoza, Argentina: Wow, this is a full-on red loaded with flavour and character! Aromas of fleshy blackberry, cassis and toasty oak. It's big, but balanced and cries out for a brontosaurus burger, or another hearty meat dish. Gorgeous dark colour belies the concentration of this powerhouse that finishes long and satisfying. Superb value. Drink: 2014-2018. 129957 14% D 750 mL $15.95 Score: 91/100. May 24, 2014

Les Vignes Bila-Haut M. Chapoutier 2012, CĂ´tes Du Roussillon Villages, Midi A.C., France: Staggeringly great value in this full-bodied red wine that's a blend of Carignan, Grenache and Syrah grapes. This AC-designated wine features brooding black fruit, dark spices and intrigue. What a great price for such quality, especially from such an iconic winemaker as Chapoutier. Try it tonight with pepperoni pizza. Drink: 2014-2018. 168716 14% D 750 mL $14.95 Score: 91/100. May 24, 2014
