The 2008 Montes Alpha Cabernet Sauvignon is a nice, smooth, drinkable wine. There's plum, ripe fruit, and a little earthiness on the nose. In the mouth nice tannins complement the smoothness. We found it a tad bitter on the finish, however. Overall, a relatively simple wine that is really quite easy to drink but not anything fantastic.

2008 Peter Lehmann Clancy's A great wine for a barbecue! 56% Shiraz, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 7% Merlot. SRP of $17 but can be found widely for $12.99 - $13.99. Sample received courtesy of The Hess Collection for review purposes. The 2008 Peter Lehmann Clancy's red blend exhibits plum, vanilla, and some spice and earthiness on the nose. This is a smooth drinker, that is simple but not too simple with firm tannins that complement the flavor of the wine. It ends with a nice spicy finish that makes you want to try another sip. I broke this one at our Mother's Day barbecue and it was universally liked. Recommended for your next barbecue!

The 2008 Concannon Vineyard Conservancy Petite Sirah was excellent. Sweet blackberries and a little chocolate and pepper on the nose. The palate showed blackberries and even a bit of mocha. There's some oak coming through but not overpowering at all. Nice tannins and a dry finish. This is fairly sweet wine, but doesn't cross the line. Overall, just a really nicely balanced, full bodied, drinkable wine. We quite enjoyed it quite a bit and recommend you check it out! Definitely a wine that will find a spot in the next update of the Top 10 list.

This wine begins with a really nice aroma of ripe fruit and it gets even better from there. The 2010 Santa Julia Organica Malbec exhibits notes of plum and cherries and is a very smooth, very drinkable, very nice Malbec. There's even a little bit of spice on the finish, although it does end a bit abruptly. It even got a little better on day 2. Overall I'm quite impressed with the Santa Julia Malbec and I recommend you pick one up.

2009 Vintage: Here at the Reverse Wine Snob, we usually open a bottle of wine at dinnertime, but most of that wine is actually consumed apart from food, usually after dinner. Given this we're not overly concerned about food pairings. And when we are, we usually determine the food first, and then choose a wine to go with it. Every once in awhile though, we taste a wine and think "This would be so good with..." This is one of those times. And what we have here is a great steak wine. The Casillero del Diablo Carménère has some nice berry notes, is fairly smooth, and has a bit of coffee on the finish. It opened up quite nicely on day 2, so give this one some time to breathe.
