	2011 Chakana Estate Red Blend 94 WA Simply wonderful, elegant really, especially as it opens up. Tons of black cherry, silky and long lasting. Plays very nicely with food, neither dominating your special dish nor getting lost in the mix. We enjoyed it with hot and cold roast chicken, a peppery salami, cole slaw with ginger (really), and several different cheeses. Learn More ...	$25.99 Sorry, this vintage is sold out. Sorry, sold out.
	2012 Boekenhoutskloof Wolftrap Red From this producer, at this price, just buy it. Medium-bodied, dark red to black fruits, barest touch of pepper and tannin, always a happy reminder of how really good it is. "Spicy profile with ripe black fruit and cherries. Hints of violet flavours from the Viognier. Smooth and rich on the palate with soft tannins and good density." Learn More ...	$10.99 Quantity: 24+ bottles available. Ships in 1-5 business days.
	2011 Amancaya Malbec-Cabernet Sauvignon 90 ST Malbec and Cabernet together at last? Your steak is crying out for this! The Amancaya is a joint project of the Catena and Rothschild families, and is a truly lovely bottling and excellent value vintage after vintage. A definite food wine not to be missed. ""90 pts... Bright, deep ruby-red. Crushed blackberry and a whiff of menthol on the nose. Sweet, lush and intense, with a fine-grained texture to the cassis and blackberry flavors. Finishes with broad, fine but firm tannins and noteworthy spicy length." -- Stephen Tanzer" Learn More ...	$19.99 Quantity: 24+ bottles available. Ships in 1-5 business days.
	2010 Warwick Three Cape Ladies New Vintage! '09 rated 91 WE Dark fruits are forward with hints of bittersweet chocolate and spice along the way. This blend is full-bodied and delicious on its own or paired with stews, a juicy hamburger, or lamb ragout. "35% Cabernet Sauvignon, 32% Pinotage, 33% Syrah. Ripe plum and brambleberry aromas fuse with a touch of mint chocolate to compliment the full-bodied smooth tannins. This 'Cape Blend' brings the best of Pinotage to the classic French varietals."

	2010 Turkey Flat Butchers Block GSM 94 JH "Outrageous Value" How fabulous is this wine? Oy! Black fruits, then red fruits, juicy but not jammy or heavy, incredible tannins giving the wine a kind of pop on the palate, so much flavor for so few dollars. Irresistible! "The 2010 BBR is a firmly structured wine with Shiraz providing a significant backbone with rock solid tannins and fantastic depth of flavour. grenache provides a dash of Cherry sweetness, taming the Shiraz beautifully and increasing the appeal of the 2010 BBR as a young wine. Mourvedre plays the baseline adding extra layers to the tannins and a little funk and fragrance." Learn More ...	$20.99 Quantity: 15 bottles available for same day shipping. 23+ bottles available.

	2010 Tikal Patriota 91 WA; 89 ST Ernesto Catena sources his Bonarda from El Este, the Eastern Mendoza region which produces some of the best Bonarda because of its consistent warmer weather. The fruit flavors are ripe and juicy, not sweet, and we taste a layer of dark chocolate amidst all the fruit - an altogether yummy wine. "Deep reddish purple with aromas of bright berry/cherry fruit. Like swallowing a whole bowl of mixed ripe berries at once. Big body yet very balanced, with luscious layers of raspberry, cherry, and cocoa flavors. Just a hint of baking spice at the end brings it all together. Pairs well with grilled meats such as beef and pork, smoked ham, and even pizza with meat toppings. Incredibly fun to drink!

	2010 Tacuil Vinas de Davalos 92 ST; 92 WA If you enjoy the great possibilities ahead, drink this now. If you have patience, you will indeed be rewarded. Big, powerful, dark purple fruits with a good measure of acidity. Raul Davalos, fourth generation winemaker, uses no wood on any of his high altitude wines, which we think gives them a measure of purity. The vines for this wine are only ten years old and are situated way high up in the Andes at over 7,000'. Wow! "Exotic aromatics: licorice, allspice, fruit compote. The wine shows incredible weight with nice balance carrying the wonderful mountain fruit. You would only expect to taste a wine with this weight and texture from a wine that has used only the finest oak." Learn More ...	$94.99 Quantity: 6+ bottles available. Ships in 1-5 business days.
	2011 Tacuil RD 90 ST These vines are only eight years old and yet produce an aromatic, full-bodied, dark red fruit-flavored wine of many yummy layers. There is a bit of pepper on the nose and finish. All the Bodega Tacuil wines are Malbec/Cabernet Sauvignon blends from vines situated at over 7,000' in the Salta region, and spend zero time on wood. "Red pepper, tabasco surrounded by a red/black fruit combo makes the aromatics unmistakable from this very unique high mountain estate. The fruit freshness on the palette is remarkable considering the wine is over 14% alcohol. This is a great introduction to the exotic nature of the Bodega Tacuil wines."

	2010 Tacuil 33 de Davalos Red Wine 92 WA; 90 ST This wine is just luscious. From seven year old vines at over 7,000' in the Salta region, this wine bursts with red cherry, blackberry, dark chocolate, and a hint of spice. It is not the standard good salesperson technique to push the least expensive item, but this is really our favorite of the Bodega Tacuil wines. So good right now, and so clearly capable of ageing really beautifully. "An amazing show of elegance and power. The aromatics are expressive with black currant, spice and plums. The wine is explosive on the palette; showing the weight and texture that you expect from old vines, but with the expression of youthful fruit from the 7 year old vines. A wine that dispels the myth that old vines provides more pedigree." Learn More ...	$64.99 Quantity: 6+ bottles available. Ships in 1-5 business days.
	2010 Riglos Gran Corte Fincas Las Divas New Vintage! '09 WE Wine of the Year. The Gran Corte is 50% Malbec, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 10% Cabernet Franc. It is a lovely, sturdy Bordeaux blend with darker fruits and a bit of spice on the finish. Definitely ageable; definitely worthy. "This deeply colored wine is intensely fragrant, with aromas of blackberries, cassis, plum and whiffs of mocha, sage and discreet oak. These notes are repeated on the palate, which is both plush and elegant. The Cabernet Sauvignon provides structure and linearity, the Malbec brings in seductive heft and texture and the Cabernet Franc adds touches of complexity and spiciness, giving an overall impression of breadth without heaviness. The finish is long and exotic, lingering on notes of spice and black fruit." Learn More ...	$49.99 Quantity: 12+ bottles available. Ships in 1-5 business days.
