Trapiche Iscay Malbec Cabernet Franc 2011, Mendoza , Argentina: The spectacular 2011 vintage of this blockbuster Argentine red wine is a blend of 65% Malbec and 35% Cabernet Franc grown in the estate vineyards of Russell, Maipu and Los Arboles, Uco Valley, Mendoza. Iscay means two or couple representing the two grapes in the blend. The Malbec contributes juicy red fruit, structure and minerality from the Uco Valley. The Cabernet Franc fruit from the Russell Vineyard is a warmer region contributing sweet red pepper and spice. The wine is not filtered and is aged in new French oak for 12 months, then the vineyard parcels are blended and the wine is aged another 6 months in French oak. Pair with slow roasted meats or rack of lamb. Drink: 2012-2025. 450585 14.50% XD 750 mL  $60.00 Score: 98/100. September 3, 2017 Top Rated Red Wine. Full Review

Montes Purple Angel 2014, Colchagua Valley, Chile: There's a reason this Chilean wine has a cult following. Purple Angel will make you feel as though you've gone to heaven aloft a cloud of sensory pleasure. The 2014 vintage is a blend of 92% Caménère and 8% Petit Verdot grapes. Caménère was re-discovered only about 12 years ago, believed to be extinct after phylloxera hit its ancestral home in Bordeaux in 1880. That's why it's also called the "Jurassic Park" grape. The vines for this wine are planted on steep slopes. If you love full-bodied, juicy, fruit-forward wines, this is your apogee as it also has all of those other great hallmarks of superb wine: complexity, balance and finish. Pair with a juicy steak.

Château La Garde 2010, Pessac-Léognan, Bordeaux A.C., France: A spectacular Bordeaux in every sense: top-drawer complexity, layering, balance, depth and length on the finish. This is the flagship wine of this house, and it declassifies 50% of production to maintain incredibly high standards vintage after vintage. The vines are planted in all the proto-typical Bordeaux soils: gravel, clay and limestone. The current owners purchased this chateau in 1990. On top of all this, the 2010 vintage was a terrific one so this is a great wine for your cellar still, and decant 1-2 hours when you open it. Dark fruit and smoke but not overwhelmed with oak -- no cover-ups here just pure mastery. Pair with a rare steak. Absolutely superb, especially for the price. Wow.

Masi Serego Alighieri Vaio Armaron Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico 2012, Veneto D.O.C.G., Italy: Complex, rich, deep and long on the finish: this Italian red wine has it all. A full-bodied, intensely concentrated red wine is made using the Appassimento method of drying grapes before fermentation to add intensity of flavour, body and alcohol to the final wine. Pair with roast beef. This towering red wine is also a great cellar wine. Decant for 1-2 hours before serving with a juicy steak. Drink: 2017-2025. 462812 15.50% D 750 mL  $109.00 Score: 96/100.
