Mulderbosch Chenin Blanc 2014, Western Cape W.O., South Africa: This is a great example South African Chenin Blanc with seductive aromas of Asian pear and something I can only describe as black apricot. Oak imparts baked bread and wraps this wine beautifully. Baking spices on the finish of this exotically wonderful wine. Pair with mild curries. Drink: 2014-2018. 675421 13.50% D 750 mL  $16.95 Score: 90/100. August 8, 2015 Best Value White Wine. Glorious Game Wine Full Review
Pascual Toso Reserve Malbec 2012, Barrancas Vineyards, Mendoza, Argentina: Lovely freshness on the nose of this full-bodied Argentine red wine made from the country's flagship red grape, Malbec. This wine offers generous aromas of wild blackberry, toasty oak and cedar forest. Full-bodied and smooth. Decant 2 hours. Pair with grilled pork chops. Drink: 2012-2017. 183897 14% D 750 mL  $20.95 Score: 90/100. August 8, 2015 Remarkable Roast Chicken Wine Full Review
