90+ Cellars "Lot 2" Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2019
88
Our Score
(3/2020) This is our most popular Sauvignon Blanc under 10 bucks, and for good reason - it is remarkably tasty year after year! The flavors, mouthfeel and finish are what you'd expect from a $12 - $13 effort. Sweet citrus, tropical fruits, fresh herbs and bell pepper flavors swirl in this classic Kiwi Sauvignon. Worth buying by the case! Let's Go Spring!

A.A. Badenhorst "Secateurs" Swartland Chenin Blanc 2018
90+
Our Score
94
Wine & Spirits
(2/2019) "Drought conditions followed by a cool harvest season produced a stunning version of Adi Badenhorst's entry-level chenin. He took an unusual approach in 2018, harvesting the fruit over the course of 12 days and adding each day's fruit to the already-fermenting musts. All of it was whole-bunch pressed, and one-quarter was fermented in old casks, the rest in tanks. Left on its lees for seven months with occasional stirring, the final wine is as deep and rich in flavor as its yellow hue predicts: It moves from waxy apple flavors to mango, wildflower honey and tangerine. It feels all of a piece, bright acidity holding the flavors taut and firm, a large-boned chenin fit for a crown roast of pork. All that for $16."

Aubert Lefas "Les Grandes Carelles" Bourgogne Rouge 2018
91
Our Score
(12/2019) This 2018 Pinot Noir gives delicious black cherry, smoke and dark red floral tones along with a hint of coffee, clay and organic earth notes. The wine is medium-plus bodied with chewy Pommard-like tannins, bright acidity and a long, flavorful finish. The quality to price ratio is simply phenomenal. Lovely now, it will only get better in coming months and years. You're going to love it.

Barter & Trade "Volume Three" Columbia Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2016
90+
Our Score
(10/2018) An excellent follow up to the hugely successful '15 vintage, this Washington State Cabernet delivers quite a bit of flavor and concentration for its modest price. Deep black fruits, sweet wood tones, full and airy in the mouth, your friends will think you paid $30 or more. We love the soft, medium-plus body and the dark chocolate, blackberry, and vanilla flavors. Drinkable right now!

(8/2016) "Tight bubbles surge through a tide of lemon and saline flavors, creating a fine texture that's balanced by mouthwatering acidity. Refreshing and ready for Wellfleet oysters."

Bodegas Borsao "Tres Picos" Campo de Borja Garnacha 2017
Tres Picos is back!

James Suckling
(7/3/2019) "A super brambly red that has abundant rich and ripe, dark berry and cherry aromas. The palate is a riot of fresh dark berries and delivers a very plush, sweetly spiced, powder-dry finish. Drink or hold."

Bodegas Enrique Mendoza "La Tremenda" Alicante Monastrell 2017
92
Wine Advocate
(4/30/2019) "The pure Monastrell 2017 La Tremenda always represents great value and showcases the behavior of the grape in the Mediterranean climate and soil from Alicante. The grapes from 25-year-old vines fermented in small stainless steel vats, and the wine matured in French oak barrels for six months. There are notes of fresh fruit, rosemary and thyme, with clean aromas, open and expressive. The palate is juicy and round, and this is an entry-level red that represents the higher volume in the winery. This wine reflects the changes over the last seven or eight years: they do three tries of the harvest, and the first bunches tend to go to this wine. The well-seasoned barrels also go to this wine, and the vinification is much softer. The result is fruit-driven, with just a spicy twist. 2017 seems a lot cooler in the Mediterranean part of Spain than in most of the inland regions like Rioja, Ribera del Duero and so on. This is a bargain Monastrell."
