Finca Flichman Malbec, Oak Aged 2007, Mendoza, Argentina
Price: $10
UPC: 7790470080222
Score: 86/100
Remarks: The best of recent vintages. A great tasting inexpensive red that you can serve liberally around the BBQ, and it goes well with pizza, chicken or spaghetti. Ellen, who unfortunately red wine does not agree with, likes this Malbec. If you are looking to give it an even more mature flavour try decanting or splashing (take a little out of the bottle, put the cork back in and shake vigorously) it prior to drinking.
Cono Sur Pinot Noir 2007, Valle del Rapel, Region del Valle Central, Chile
Price: $11
UPC: 7804320753454
Score: 86/100
Remarks: A great value Pinot Noir at an affordable price. Look for a spicy earthy forest floor nose with bits of liquorice root and pepper. Expect a tart, black cherry fruit flavour mid-palate with more spice and mushroom in the finish. It is readily available in BC and I even saw a few bottles in the States. We tried this with BBQ chicken, and worked well.
Porcupine Ridge Syrah 2007, Coastal Region, South Africa
Price: $18
UPC: 746925000786
Score: 87/100
Remarks: Fresh, round, supple palate with smoked meat and cherry jam flavours. This is consistently a very good wine and is now under a screw cap, which will add to its reliability. A great wine to take to dinner invitation...
