Domaine De Bila-Haut Occultum Lapidem M. Chapoutier 2010, A.C., CĂ´tes Du Roussillon-Villages Latour De France, Midi, France: Rich, velvet fleshy black raspberries loll over your tongue and release their juicy flavour as you move the wine around in your mouth. Full-bodied and pleasurable. Close your eyes. I can't resist a good Latin name either. Makes a perfect gift for an English teacher. A finish as long as War & Peace with dark spice and plot twists. Drink: 2012-2018. 643239 14% XD 750 mL  $24.95 Score: 95/100. July 20, 2013 Best Beef Wine Full Review
Ravenswood Vintners Blend Cabernet Sauvignon 2012, California, United States: Ravenswood is known for very full-bodied zinfandels, and this cabernet is also robust, but in a smooth, balanced and mouth-watering way. Packed with blackberry and cassis flavours with some smoke on the finish. Terrific! Ravenswood is one of the famous three R's of California wineries famous for their Zinfandel (Ridge and Rosenblum being the other two), which sometimes overshadows just how well they make Cabernet Sauvignon. Don't blame me if you get hooked on this cab: I warned you. Pair with prime rib. Drink: 2013-2018. 606632 13.50% D 750 mL  $17.95 Score: 91/100. January 24, 2015 Best Value Red Wine.
