KWV Triptych K.W.V. 2012, Western Cape W.O., South Africa: This WO-designated wine is smooth, smoky and delicious with full-bodied layers of fleshy black plums. Amazingly great price for the quality. This wine is a blend that leads with cabernet sauvignon, but also includes shiraz and merlot grapes. Just enough toasty oak aging to bring this whole delicious package together. Good finish. Try it tonight with meat lovers pizza. Drink: 2013-2017. 53124 14.40% XD 750 mL  $17.95 Score: 90/100. May 2, 2015 Best Value Red Wine. Best Beef Wine Full Review
Small Gully Mr. Black's Little Book Shiraz 2013, Barossa Valley, South Australia, Australia: I love a little black book reading with a sympathetic robust red wine that has a big vocabulary when it comes to aromas and flavours, like this one! Rich and full-bodied with fleshy ripe blackberry, mint and black olive aromas on the nose. Layers and smooth, with polished tannins and a long finish. Terrific mouth-watering juiciness. You put on the jazz music and I'll pour the wine, deal? Drink: 2013-2017. 287979 15% XD 750 mL  $20.95 Score: 91/100. May 2, 2015 Best Value Red Wine. Harmonious Hard Cheese Wine Full Review
