The Taylor's show more delineation and refinement with pure black currant, cassis, pencil box, hints of marzipan and a hint of dark chocolate. The palate is full-bodied and sumptuous with super-fine tannins, very pure blackberry and boysenberry notes interlaced with cedar, dried fig and a touch of black pepper on the beautifully refined finish. Excellent." Drink now through 2045+

Reg. $15  Now Bottle $11.99 10% off mix 6 $10.79 20% off mix 12 $9.59
Wine Enthusiast 90 Points"Jammy aromas of plum and berry are oaky. This is weighty yet balanced. Earthy flavors of baked black fruits, tea and spice are slightly minerally, while the finish is oaky and generous, with a touch of menthol and heat." If you love full throttle reds at bargain prices then be sure to try this big red. Note - The Mencia grape was once thought to be an ancient clone of Cabernet Franc, with which it shares some of its aromas, an impression which has been dispelled with DNA profiling.

Abundant fruit flavors in this well-structured wine are nicely integrated with toasted oak and a touch of black licorice. A small amount of Merlot was added to soften the Petite Sirah and add complexity, without taking away from the varietal character of wine. It has great weight on the palate, but the tannins are certainly approachable in this well- balanced wine, with a long, pleasing finish. Drink now through 2016.

Wine Enthusiast 91 Points- "This is a cuddly, jammy, ripe Malbec with maple, blackberry and oak aromas. It feels weighty and lush, with large-scale boysenberry, blackberry and blueberry flavors. It turns a little soft and basic on the finish, but there's no griping about this wine's purity and fruit content. "

(Italy/Tuscany) Banfi Rosso di Montalcino 2011
Reg $24.99 Now bottle $17.99 Save 28%
Tanzer 90 Points "Dark ruby-red. Balsamic vanilla complements ripe dark plum and blueberry syrup on the nose. Rich, dense and suave, with a cherry cola quality to the ripe dark fruit and herbal flavors. Finishes long and very clean, with rising, slightly drying tannins, but there's so much fruit here that the tannins don't dominate. This richer, riper style of Rosso may have been just a little too extracted, but I think it will have quite a few fans. "

(France) Chateau de Casenove La Garrigue Languedoc-Roussillon 2009
Reg. $23.99 Now $17.99 Save 25%
Robert Parker 92 Points "The stunning 2009 La Garrigue (40% Carignan, 40% Syrah and 20% Grenache aged 7 months in tank) is a terrific example of how much wine one can buy for under $20 a bottle. An opaque ruby/purple color is followed by notes of cassis, blackberries, lavender, licorice, pepper and garrigue. Full-bodied, rich and heady, this beauty is capable of drinking well for 5-6 more years. However, as with most of these wines, what's the point of waiting?"
