2008 Montes Cherub of Syrah Rose (Chile) – $12.99
2008 Montes Cherub Rose $12.99
“A refrigerator red with the oomph of syrah. Great with Thai or grilled chick. Berries and cherry with pepper and spice, and a crisp brisk edge. Gushing with fruit.”

2006 Errazuriz Carmenere Don Maximano Estate (Aconcagua, Chile)
2006 Errazuriz Carmenere Don Maximano Estate (Chile) $15.99
“I typically like Carmenere but I love this one for its distinct bouquet of plum, wild berry and spice. The 2006 Carmenere Don Maximo Estate spent 12 months in French and American oak and grapes hand picked from Chile’s finest premier vineyard in Aconcagua Valley. Its complex and enticing aromatics of fresh black fruit complemented by sweet spice and black pepper are intertwined with cassis, dry figs and plum. On the palate, layered spice, full bodied and plenty of lush ripe fruit. Smooth tannins, great depth and a lengthy finish to boot. I would enjoy in the next several years with any roasted meat or tomato-based dish.”

2003 Viña Altaïr Sideral (Rapel Valley, Chile)
2003 Viña Sideral from Chile ($17.99)
“Altair is a Chilean winery founded by the owners of Bordeaux’ Château Dassault. Their 2003 Sideral is a blend of 84% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Merlot, 4% Syrah, and 2% Sangiovese. It reveals full body, marvelous extraction and richness, terrific equilibrium, and a layered, textured, expansively flavored personality. At this unbeatable price, the stars are aligned for this perfectly drinking Bordeaux styled blend. In the era of turn n’ burn wines, this 6 year old Sideral is truly a treasure.”
