Trapiche Fincas Las Palmas Malbec 2011, Uco Valley, Mendoza, Argentina: A lively Malbec with intriguing aromas of black raspberry, bacon and vanilla smoke. Concentrated and powerful with polished tannins. Ready to drink now, but will also do well with a few years in the cellar. Absolutely delicious especially at this price! This wine cries out to be on your table beside prime rib. Let your mouth have some fun tonight! Drink: 2013-2016. 186668 14% D 750 mL  $16.95 Score: 92/100. June 27, 2015 Best Value Red Wine.

Errazuriz Aconcagua Costa Single Vineyard Syrah 2012, Aconcagua Costa, Aconcagua Valley, Chile: A gorgeous, opulent Chilean Syrah of the best pedigree. Structure, density, concentration and complexity all play roles in this wine, with intense replay of fleshy dark plums and berries across the palate (and mind). Perfect for grilled pork chops. Drink: 2013-2019. 387910 13.50% XD 750 mL  $24.95 Score: 95/100. September 27, 2014 Top Rated Red Wine. Full Review
Santa Alicia Reserva Carmenere 2013, Maipo Valley, Chile: An amazing wine for the money! Full-bodied, supple, smooth and gorgeously textured. This is an ideal party wine, and companion to many hearty meat dishes. The tannins are so smooth that you can also enjoy it with drier meat dishes like turkey. Aromas of fleshy black plum and blackberry. Drink: 2015-2017. 309302 14% XD 750 mL  $13.25 Score: 90/100. April 15, 2015 Best Value Red Wine. Best Beef Wine Full Review
