John Riddoch Cabernet Sauvignon 2010, Coonawarra, South Australia, Australia: An exceptional wine from a terrific vintage. This ful-bodied, complex, balanced Australian red wine has it all. Aromas of blackcurrant, cassis and blackberry with some cigar box and leather. Supple and gorgeously textured, with surprisingly low alcohol for such a big and flavourful wine. Decant 1 hour and enjoy with rare filet mignon and best friends. Drink: 2015-2021. 466748 13.50% XD 750 mL  $99.95 Score: 95/100. June 13, 2015 Top Rated Red Wine. Best Beef Wine Full Review
Tommasi Amarone Della Valpolicella Classico 2016, Veneto D.O.C.G., Italy: Smoky and dark yet elegant in a muscular way. This brooding Italian red wine offers black fruit aromas and smoke on the nose. Underneath and on the palate there's a sensual layer of black fleshy ripe fruit and dark spices. Oh yes! Classic Amarone with some nuances of wild violets and black cherry liqueur on the finish. Best consumed with hearty meat dishes and robust conversation. Drink: 2019-2026. 356220 15% D 750 mL  $49.95 Score: 95/100. November 26, 2016 Top Rated Red Wine. Best Beef Wine Full Review
