Finca El Origen "Estate Blend" Uco Valley 2017
This rich flavored easy-drinker is typically $15+ at other retailers!
Winemaker's Notes
"This blend has remarkable color intensity. Very concentrated and fragrant, with outstanding notes of pepper and spices reminiscent of Cabernet Sauvignon, and fruits like blackberries, cherries and plums characteristic of Malbec. Licorice and vanilla are the main descriptors. A round, persistent blend of silky tannins."

(10/17/2019) "The 2016 Vitiano Rosso offers enormous value. In fact, I cannot for the life of me think of another red wine from Italy that offers this quality at this super low price. This Umbrian red is equal parts Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. Winemaking is very simple, concluding with an easy three months in barrique. The bouquet is bright, easy and fresh with dark cherry, cassis and spice. With an abundant 800,000 bottles made, drink up. Enough said."

Silk & Spice Portugal Red Blend 2018

Our Score
88/100 - Our Score (4/2020) This is a magnificent application of yummy, crowd-pleasing, new world winemaking techniques applied to famously affordable Portuguese grapes. A blend of Touriga Nacional, Baga, Alicante Bouschet and Syrah, the 2018 Silk & Spice is soft, approachable and dripping with dark fruit. Juicy black raspberry and ripe boysenberry overtones are heavily marked by vanilla and milk chocolate. The modern jammy fruit profile is reminiscent of wines made by the Wagner family, Austin Hope or even Dave Phinney.

Dead Canyon Ranch Horse Heaven Hills Red Wine Blend 2017
Like the Dead Canyon Cabernet that we recently featured, this red blend from the Mercer family was originally intended to be sold for close to $20 at a major national chain. With a mouthfeel and flavor profile that far exceed the expectations of our much lower price, it is another HUGE winner!

(9/2020) The Dead Canyon Ranch Red is a blend of 50% Syrah, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot, 8% Malbec, 3% Petit Verdot and 2% Mourvedre, all from the Mercer family's estate vineyards in the Horse Heaven Hills. Offering sophisticated flavors of black cherry, black raspberry, vanilla, toast, smoke, bacon, and olive, this medium bodied Washington State red offers a warming brightness that make it perfect for just about any occasion. An EXTREMELY smart buy.

(8/31/2020) "This red is sleek and solid, in the modern style. Bright cherry, berry and currant flavors mingle with licorice, black tea and mineral notes, giving way to a floral and minerally finish. The firm tannins are well-integrated and juicy acidity keeps this lively. Mourvedre, Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah. Drink now through 2029. 7,400 cases made, 2,200 cases imported."

Sand Creek Peninsula de Setubal Red Blend 2018

Our Score
(7/2020) Here's a screaming value in the red blend segment, hailing from an obscure region in southern Portugal. This bottling, from an undisclosed blend of red grapes, is all about soft creamy texture and ripe generous fruit. We liken it to a yummy Shiraz freshened with a dash of Barbera d'Alba. It positively gushes with ripe boysenberry, raspberry, vanilla, cassis, gingersnap and rosemary. The aromas are like a spicy blackberry cobbler leaping from the glass. The tannins are light and lively, and this lush red blend finishes nice and clean.

(4/2020) "This wine's tart cherry flavors feel cool and oceanic. Some green notes of peppercorn and cherry leaf hold its concentrated flavors tight, embedded in clay-like tannins. What's confidential about this wine is the blend of more than ten varieties, grown in clay-limestone soils, and the names of ten unfamiliar varieties probably don't matter when the wine is so fresh and bright."

A.A. Badenhorst "The Curator" Swartland Red Blend 2019
When we first sampled this wine, after leaving it to aerate in our glass, we were SURE we'd been advanced in our flight to a good quality Crozes-Hermitage at nearly three times this price. Nope, this is just that good - amnd should be your absolute go-to house wine at this sizzling price!

(11/2020) "What happens when you take one of South Africa's top wine makers and task him with making a value oriented wine? This! Sourced from old vine vineyards in Swartland, this blend of Syrah, Cinsault and Mourvedre is aged entirely in concrete tanks and delivers a wine that drinks well above its humble price. Dark berry, plum, smoked meat, leather and an array of spices lead off the complex aromatics. The palate is a mix of red and black fruits, licorice, leather and spice. There is an underlying earthiness adding complexity, finishing with light tannins. This would be an excellent pairing with smoked meat, grilled short ribs or a wild mushroom pasta."

Wine Advocate
(9/10/2020) "The fruit-driven and easy-to-drink 2019 Laya was produced with Garnacha Tintorera, or Alicante Bouschet, grapes blended with 30% Monastrell from an unusually wet year with torrential rains during the harvest. It fermented in stainless steel vats with neutral yeasts, with malolactic in barrel, where the wine matured for four months. It's very dark, almost opaque, expressive and open. This comes from younger vines yet is structured and seamless, quite complete. It feels like a very good vintage for Garnacha Tintorera in the zone. The palate is round, somehow creamy, and the tannins are ripe and juicy. 360,000 bottles produced. It was bottled in March 2020. Drink Date 2020 - 2023."
