15.6,Red,US,"Winemaker Matthias Pippig brings Syrah to a whole new level with this stunningly dramatic bottling. Don't worry about the California appellation, a peculiarity of the winery's ownership. It's made entirely from Santa Barbara grapes, namely from Watch Hill in Los Alamos and Bien Nacido in Santa Maria Valley. The intensity of fruit defies description. It suggests enormous blackberry and creamy-sweet chocolate, larded with bacon and sprinkled with black pepper—and that doesn't even begin to describe the toasty sweetness of the 100% new oak barrels. This is the best California Syrah of the vintage, and one of the greatest Syrahs the state has ever produced.

The alcohol level is comparatively restrained, providing just the right touch of warmth. New oak clocks in at only 30%, imbuing the wine with a nice seasoning of smoke.

15,Red,France,"The second wine of Château Fonplégade, this is packed with Merlot, which accounts for the richness. Juicy and soft, with a hint of black plum juice, it's balanced by a core of tannins and finishes with acidity. A wine that will age quickly.",Fleur de Fonplégade,,88,Bordeaux,Saint-Émilion,,Château Fonplégade 2009 Fleur de Fonplégade  (Saint-Émilion),https://www.winemag.com/buying-guide/chateau-fonplegade-2009-fleur-red-saint-emilion/,Bordeaux-style Red Blend,2009,Château Fonplégade
,Red,France,"This is a full, ripe wine, with tannins that are already well integrated into the red fruits. It's rich and full, packed with delicious ripeness. A wine for pleasure in the next few months, but it will also age well for 3–4 years.",,19,88,Bordeaux,Bordeaux Supérieur,,Domaine de Courteillac 2009  Bordeaux Supérieur,https://www.winemag.com/buying-guide/domaine-courteillac-2009-red-superieur/,Bordeaux-style Red Blend,2009,Domaine de Courteillac
14.6,Red,US,"Pure Mourvèdre remains a rare bird of a wine, even in grape-happy Washington State. This is a good example, with flavors that carry the leafy, herbal character often found in Carmenère and the bright, mineral-laced fruit of southern French wines. It's not a big wine, and the vines from which the grapes are sourced are still young, but it's well made and will hold your interest.",Heart of the Hill Vineyard,45,88,Washington,Columbia Valley,Red Mountain,Dowsett Family 2010 Heart of the Hill Vineyard Mourvèdre (Red Mountain),https://www.winemag.com/buying-guide/dowsett-family-2010-heart-hill-vineyard-mourvedre-columbia-valley-red-mountain/,Mourvèdre,2010,Dowsett Family
,Red,France,"Sweet-tasting fruits dominate this wine. With its black currant flavor, it's a wine that expresses the fresh character of the vintage without losing its own sense of richness. Charming already, it will certainly age.",,,88,Bordeaux,Saint-Émilion,,Clos des Menuts 2008  Saint-Émilion,https://www.winemag.com/buying-guide/clos-menuts-2008-red-saint-emilion/,Bordeaux-style Red Blend,2008,Clos des Menuts
12.5,Red,Australia,"An unusual blend for Australia, this is 63% Malbec, 27% Petit Verdot and 10% Merlot. The blackberry flavor is bold and punchy, with hints of cinnamon and cracked pepper. It's full bodied and slightly creamy in texture, making it a satisfying red for near-term consumption.",Mangan,46,88,Western Australia,Margaret River,,Cullen 2009 Mangan Red (Margaret River),https://www.winemag.com/buying-guide/cullen-2009-mangan-red-margaret-river/,Bordeaux-style Red Blend,2009,Cullen
14,Red,Argentina,"This staunch Malbec opens with straightforward berry aromas, and with airing it turns leathery and cheesy smelling. It's tight and tannic on the palate, with lemony oak, potent blackberry and herb flavors. Short, rugged and tannic on the finish, but loaded with flavor and spunk.",,18,88,Mendoza Province,Uco Valley,,Benvenuto de la Serna 2008 Malbec (Uco Valley),https://www.winemag.com/buying-guide/benvenuto-serna-2008-malbec-uco-valley/,Malbec,2008,Benvenuto de la Serna
,Port/Sherry,Portugal,"This is initially soft, then it broadens out with caramel and ripe plum flavors. Dark cherry sweetens the core of acidity and firm tannins.
