Costiere De Nimes Chateau Mourgues Du Gres Terre D'argence  14%  750 mL  $36.70. March 1, 2012 Full Review
Trapiche Reserve Pinot Grigio 2016, Mendoza, Argentina: Fresh and crisp Argentina white wine made from the Pinot Grigio grape, though leaning more to the drier style of Pinot Gris than the fruitier style of Pinot Grigio. Lovely floral notes along with Asian pear and quince. The grapes are grown in a high altitude area of the Mendoza River. Pair with fresh seafood and sushi. Drink: 2016-2018. 507475 13% D 750 mL  $15.00 Score: 89/100. December 8, 2017 Best Value White Wine. Scrumptious Seafood Wine Full Review
Peter Lehmann Wines Futures Shiraz 2014, Barossa, South Australia, Australia: This truly shows the pedigree of the Barossa region. The grapes come from de-classified Stonewell parcels (the flagship wine), so this is a steal at $30. The wine is aged 30% in new French oak barrels for 14-16 months. More than 120 different parcels of grapes go into this wine. It's supple and beautifully nuanced, yet has full-bodied richness. Drink: 2016-2023. 301309 14% D 750 mL  $27.00 Score: 93/100. December 7, 2017 Top Rated Red Wine. Heavenly Hamburger Wine Full Review
Barossa Valley Estate Grenache Shiraz Mouvedre 2014, Barossa Valley, Australia: So seductive: gorgeous deep vein of black cherry liqueur runs through the heart of this full-throttle GSM Australian blend. Perfect for brisket or roast beef, but also rack of lamb. Superb craftsmanship. Drink: 2015-2019. 477793 14% XD 750 mL  $24.95 Score: 93/100. June 5, 2016 Top Rated Red Wine. Heavenly Hamburger Wine Full Review
Castello di Gabbiano Riserva Chianti Classico 2012, Tuscany D.O.C.G, Italy: Full-bodied with racy acidity on the palate that demands tomato sauce with some meat balls please. Firm tannins so this could do well in the cellar for several more years then decant 1-2 hours. Drink: 2017-2022. 174473 14% D 750 mL  $24.95 Score: 92/100. October 10, 2016 Top Rated Red Wine. Perfect Pasta and Tomato Sauce Wine Full Review
