Cono Sur Bicicleta Pinot Noir 2008, Central Valley, Chile: This is such a tasty, juicy, mouth-watering wine for the money! Ripe, zingy cherries with a lovely medium body and silky texture. Mercifully closed with a screwcap. Drink: 2010-2014. 341602 13.50% XD 750 mL  $12.50 Score: 87/100. December 1, 2009 Best Value Red Wine. Full Review

Concha Y Toro Trio Reserva Merlot Carmenère Cabernet Sauvignon 2008, Rapel Valley, Chile: So darn tasty! Yum! Dark chocolate on the nose gives way to fleshy blackberries and plums. Full-bodied and rich with good depth and concentration. This blend is mostly Merlot with a dash of Carmenere and Cabernet Sauvignon. An incredible value. 433920 14% XD 750 mL  $14.95 Score: 90/100.

Artazuri Viñedos Artazu Garnacha 2008, D.O., Navarra, Spain: Love the peppered back raspberries! This is such a top-me-up-again kind of wine. Great for parties too given the price. Full-bodied and dripping with gorgeous black fruit flavour. 80812 14.40% XD 750 mL  $13.95 Score: 90/100. April 3, 2010 Best Value Red Wine. Full Review
