Crowd pleasing with some terroir respect. Juicy raspberry and dark fruits supported by dried herbs, licorice. The crowd pleasing part is the soft tannin juicy finish. — 10 years ago

What an awesome surprise! 2004 Merlot from Cono Sur. Likely would have sat on the shelf at the astronomical price of $9.99, but it still shows fruit, although dried and earthy, layers of flavour and acidity... Wow! — 11 years ago

The advice I received in choosing Bordeaux under $20 was to select vintage before supplier. Specifically 2012 over 2011 or 2013. Turned out to be good advice. — 10 years ago

I have become obsessed with finding wines that truly over deliver but are often forgotten because of their price or format. This is one of those wines. $9.99 for 1l, good fruit, spicy finish, medium bodied, good acidity. Have this with you next pasta meal. — 11 years ago

By far one of my fave finds. Dark & bright fruits, dried herbs, cigar box, leather, elegance, finesse. A great brown bagger and a top choice for Easter Hams — 10 years ago

It's okay and works with the oysters I'm enjoying, but for $20 I want more complexity and less candy. — 11 years ago

One of my fave wineries from Puglia. I have been a long time lover of the Squinzano, but this was spectacular! Ripe fruit with dried herbs and leather. Perfumed nose with cherry and dried lavender. Layer upon layer upon layer through the mid-palate, through to long supple finish. — 11 years ago
